WORTH IT$9,000
I went for my 2 month check up last week, everything was good.. Just gotta keep massaging. I addressed the need for a lift, dr pousti said he'll see me in a few years and lift whenever I want too.. Just keep them in good support for the first 6 months.. Which I do now because when they aren't super supported I feel like they're gonna drop to my belly button lol.. Rather be safe than sorry.. I still sleep with my surgical bra.. I normally just put it on over whatever sports bra I was wearing.. I'm a wild sleeper so I don't wanna sleep on them and possibly push them out or strech out the pocket... Other than that everything's good.. I've started hiking again, yay ! And they feel so soft I can barley feel the implant .. It's crazy how natural the silicone feel compared to my old saline impants ... Here's a pic I took last night .... The tan line show I've been enjoying them ;-)

Thanx bubbles!! I love the way the look from the front ! The side they look small, like that I can hide them too because I didn't get the high profile and make them project so far off my chest for being such a big implant lol!!! Watch I see bigger boobies down down the road for you lol ;-) hope everything's been going smooth with your boobies and beautiful fam xoxo

Lol that's funny, and thanks. Maybe, I'm happy with mine and I'm happy for ppl when they get big ones instead of being enviess of them. I was born on the itty bitty [RS bleep] committee as my sister with almost triple d's natural and still nice and high clowned me my whole life. As I wld pick at her too. It was all in fun. So I've always loved big boobs all my life. So I'm super content to be as to fill out a top;•}

I wish I was close enough to go to your doctor. I live in SC and I really need a revision done. My doctor thinks he is a god and doesn't make mistakes at all. If something goes wrong it is my fault or could have happened to anyone and he made me aware before hand. ...even though it says he will not charge his portion of the fee to go in to make corrects..... he is now say I have to pay the full amount to have them redone if I am not satisfied and can't live with the results I have now....double bubbles...one worse then the other...size of implant does not fill out the skin I have (I nursed)....and one breast lifts and tightend up oddly when chest muscle flexes. I just wanted pretty breast to improve how I see myself ...and how other see me as a woman. My doctor doesn't see my complaint as a problem...... The problem is....I am separated as of two years...divorce in progress. My fear is having another man seeing what I see in the mirror.....and be disappoint, turned off, disgusted, and so on. If I wanted that result I could have stayed the way I was originally. :( I wish I could be pointed in the right direction to find a Surgeon closer to home that will understand and truly want to make things right.....I would like to see myself as beautiful as I hoped I would have as this past BA.....it hurts to know I tried, paid a lot of money that I did not have to waste, to see a doctor that steps on me....knowing all well my breast do not look natural...at all. Oh..and they fall to the sides and as far as cleavage. ..I don't have any unless I push mine together because they are so far apart.....size 34 DD.......they should be perfect. And speaking of pockets...mine must be huge...from the first day out I was told to massage them up and down and to the sides...no support bra...no support tape....and I was told to move my arms above my head several times a day.....also to wear a band that would push my breast down wards ....for about 4 months..maybe 4 1/2 months...which I believed help with the double bubble. And I was released to lift boxes weighing over 50 to 70 lbs after 6 weeks.....but he failed to tell me before 4 weeks not to pick up or push anything heavier then 5 lbs. If your doctor knows of a good surgeon in SC....or NC or GA that border my state that is good and doesn't have the attitude mine doctor has please let me know..... I really would like to know the instructions your doctor gave you to keep everything in place and perfect. Thanks for any help you can give to help me get where I would like to be...fixed and beautiful. KateyC

Hey katey! Ugh I'm so sorry your going through that... The reason I think my revision held up so well is all the support! I was wearing padding under my surgical bra to make it tighther for the first 4 weeks.. Didn't even take the bra off to look at them.. ( It hurt when they weren't fully supported) at 4 weeks the dr took off my supportive bolster that was taped to me under my surgical bra and cleared me to shower.. I still didn't shower for a few days because it hurt without a bra.. Then u bought a tight sports bra to put on during showers.. By week 6 1/2 weeks I could have my bra off for about 10 mins ... Without pain... By 8 weeks I was showering but still like trying to hold them up when a bra was off and it wasn't till about 3 days ago I really feel they're normal and fine without support! (8 1/2 weeks) I'm still not lifting anything more than 10 lbs because I can't . And I don't wanna push it. I still wear my tight sports bra 24 /7 and my supportive surgical bra over a sports bra at night! I think no lifting anything and great support will be the keys to making ur revision stick! Just baby your arms and try not to use ur chest muscles.... I know travel is one of the issues but if you could save for a trip out here atleast you know you will be in great hands and you can rest assured you will be satisfied with the outcome... Dr pousti is really amazing.. He really knows what he is doing, and he's so confident about his work and not cocky about it... If not just do extensive research .. Revisions shouldn't be played with and there Are so many "surgeons" who make situations worse due to lack of experience and real skill.... Let me know if you have any other questions :-) Xoxo

Thanks so much for sharing your journey. I am scheduled to have revision surgery with Dr. Pousti on 9/16. Looking to go 650/700. I'm having Alloderm so it was helpful to hear about your patience through the recovery. I don't see any of your pics are still attached to your profile. Would love to see your current pics!

Hey :) I love going through your page and reading your updates .. Your so sweet, you look great and your scars look very light.. I started using the " scaraway " strips and they seem to work well seems like they hold the scar tight.. Hope your girls continue to fluff out a little like you want:-) they look great

Awe thank you, you are really sweet. The acne is killing me still. One day it seems to be clearing up the next day it's bad again. Right now I have crushed strawberry and honey yogurt mask on my face and wow you wldnt believe how freakin tight it feels. Hope my skin is still tight when I rinse it off. I really so just love the size of your boobs, are u really tiny, bc you look like you might be;•}

I like egg white masks too ;-) they are good for blackheads and they always make my face feel tight too! just whip them up to a foam and let it dry on ur face.. I'm not too small I'm 5'6 .. I'm thin right now only 117.. I use to be 150 a year and a half ago before I started eating healthier and working out :-)

I was looking at pictures from last summer (pre revision) when I had my old saline 550 HP implants... I can't believe how messed up my pockets and implants were .. I put a few pictures together ..

Makes me love my new boobs even more.. I'm also gonna post a pic from the pool tanning yesterday.. I love how my implants don't fall into my sides anymore.. I can't believe looking back at pictures..


I keep massing them and they seem to be getting softer by the day.. :-)
