A to DD! 3.5 Months Post-Op, Silicone gel unders, through areola. 27 y/o Mom

It's been a while!

WORTH IT$6,000
I cannot believe 3.5 months ago I had implants placed through my areolas. I still feel that foreign feeling when I flex my pectoral muscles -- I wonder when I will think nothing of the implants inside there :D I haven't had morning boob in several weeks -- which was my only real complaint before. So, I'm not massaging as often as I probably should. The scars are healing nicely with no products bring used. I've attached a comparison of my preop and today pictures. The transformation is amazing... Dr. Pousti did a great job creating more symmetrical breasts for me, and my nipples are less "baby mouth" shaped haha. Still fitting into a 34DD bra at VS. I purchased my first wired bra last week! I find myself wearing my sports bras often, especially when I'm around my girlfriends and our kids. DD sounds so big, but they are very easy to hide under clothing when necessary! :) I am truly happy and pleased with my results so far. It's nice to come back here to see my old photos. Let me know if you guys have any questions! I'd love to help.

I loved reading your story and progress!! I go Friday aug 22 to get mine done. And I was wondering how long will it be before I can run again? I have a 12 mile obsticle course coming up in march and I want to be prepared for it
From what I've experienced I would say you would be fine by March! Using your pecs may still be difficult, especially if you're going under the muscle like most people do. Ideally your incisions will close fully by around 2-3 months and you can start back into exercise with little impact. But everyone's body is So different! That's a good question for your PS! I believe mine told me I could start light no impact exercise (no pectoral) at about 1 month post op. Good luck to you! The 22nd is right around the corner :D
Ok thank you! Yes it is a week away!
Thanks for your review - super helpful!
You're welcome! Glad to be of some help
Thank you for your amazing review!! I loved reading it as it was extremely helpful! Btw, you look awesome!!!

2 month post op appointment

I saw my surgeon yesterday, and he said I was doing great! My implants have dropped into place evenly, and he said my scars looks great. I asked him about a small amount of foul smelling-offwhite discharge I had from a small hole in one scar -- he said it was a stitch abscess that will resolve itself. I'll cover it with a bandaid so the discharge doesn't stain my clothing. He said I didn't really need a scar cream, which meant a lot to me because his office sells a nice silicone one I was expecting to purchase that day. Dr. Pousti is a great man!

So, I'll save the scar away strips for my preschooler lol :)

I've been spending the last week gardening and at the beach/pool with the little guy. At almost 2 months post op (in 5 days) I'd say I'm back to normal! The only weird thing I experice is a foreign feeling when I workout and my pectorals are flexed haha. I'm sleeping just fine on my side/stomach like I was before. All normal duties have resumed. If you read earlier, I even helped move a washing machine with my husband mid-June... I think it's safe to say I'm alright!

I'll check back in a few months when I have another post op! :)

Mommy belly is getting better!

I've been doing 45 mins of cross fit type workouts 3-5 times a week. I skipped the past 2 weeks because I was moving from an apartment to a house, and I concluded that should qualify as my workout those weeks lol

I started back again today. Compared to my first picture 22 days post, idk if I see a difference in my midsection, but my legs and butt look awesome! :) here's a picture from today. I love that I can diary and track my results here.

You look great. I'm very envious of your flat tummy.
Thank you red! I'm trying to get it as flat as I can. Baby boy left me with some extra skin. But id never consider surgery like a TT for that. I love your results! So natural still.
Thank you. Any tips for helping get my tummy flat? Or avoiding the old lady flabby arms?
For my mid section I've totally changed the way I eat. I'm getting older and the fish sticks, pizza and whatever else my toddler shoves at me started going right to my belly and legs over the past few years. So based on my activity level I figured out how many calories I need vs what I usually eat. I now consume way less calories after having that reflection and I'm not missing them at all. When I sat down and actually thought about how much I eat out of boredom or emotion...I realized It was pretty often!! I started doing 45 min workouts 3-5 days a week at home. Jillian michaels and t25 are awesome. Today, I joined a weekly yoga/crossfiit workout with a group of ladies, and that was nice. Long story short... I'm consuming less calories than my bodies needs, so I can burn the fat I have stored on my body. But I'm eating enough to not want to strangle anyone lol :)
Damn!!! You look awesome!!!!
LOL Ty!! Checking your profile out now...
I'm looking on netflix for work out dvds now. Looking at your profile is motivating me. I think I have less than 3 weeks until I can work out. We are almost the same size in your photos before you started working out.
It's amazon prime that I find Jillian michaels! I've been saying the wrong program. I was thinking that we were almost the same stats when I was reading your profile yesterday! Good luck!
Thanks you too!
