You look almost 100% better! I cant wait for you to get your revision to straighten the line. Once everything is done you are going to look amazing. Your new boobies look great!
Awe... Thanks I can't wait either!!!! ;)
Thank you for sharing your experience. One reason you are healing from that big wound is your very positive attitude. I am researching and looking forward to TT and BBL. I wish you the best!
Thanks. Good luck! I wish you the best!
I'm glad to see your doing better. Question, why didn't you consider losing weight prior to the surgery? Do you think your weight had a lot to do with your results. Sorry you had to go through that awful experience. Your PS should refund you most of your $$ for a revision, he definitely need more experience and education on it...
Congratulations I read your journey help me to understand the different issues that we can confront but at the end its working!
Hi I was wondering if you can please post pics of yourself now. I know it's been a couple of years but I'm just curious to see how you are doing now. Dr Greene did my boob job just 11 days ago and now I'm considering a tummy tuck. I'm so glad you shared your journey. Thanks and hope all is well with you.
Hi Stronger117! I haven’t been on Real self for a while... I just now noticed your message. I’m doing great I STILL wouldn’t change anything. Other than of course taking it easy. Lol I’ve gained weight and lost most of it. Went up to 235 lbs and now thank God I’m back at under 200 lbs. I wear a size 13 juniors pant and a large or sometimes XL shirt. I LOVE my boobs. Although my left side has a contracted capsule. It’s barely noticeable. I STILL plan on going back to Dr Greene for the scar revision and to fix the left side. I’ll post pics later tomorrow. How have you been?
I have been good. Thanks for replying. It’s been 8 months since my surgery and I feel pretty great. I still kinda wish I had more cleavage but I’m happy. I have noticed that a lot of the implants are under my arm. Not sure if that’s normal. Dr Greene was on vacation since May and returned in November so I need to schedule an appointment with him to see if that’s normal. Im happy Fr your weight loss and keep up the good work especially during the holidays lol! Ok keep me posted please if you don’t mind.

Got properly fitted yesterday! 38DDD

So I went to Macy's and the little old lady there told me yes ma'am you are in the wrong size (which is a 38DDD) you need to go up to a 42DDD or a 44 DDD so I let her bring me some bras. Well NO!! EVERYTHING she brought me was way to matronly and way TOO big! So I left quick! Headed to VS and there the young lady really didn't want to help but did and she said you are a 38 let's see if you're a DD instead of a DDD so I tried on several bras and nope. None fit! Oh well I guess the reason that I thought I was in the wrong size was that I had taken out the wires of a Fredricks bra and they're not meant for that. So that's why it felt kinda funny. End of story I bought two bras there at VS and went to Lane Bryant and found a HEAVENLY no wire bra and a beautiful underwire. So even thought I'm not supposed to wear underwire yet I got three and one soft cup. I hope they settle soon so I can wear my beautiful bras soon! I'll post pics later. ;)

Thank you so much in sharing your story with us! I also am looking into getting a mommy makeover (TT & Breast Aug.)
I had my son at 18 and that pregnancy wrecked my belly!
