36 Years Old, 3 Kids, Active/Athletic, Desire Natural Look - San Francisco, CA

So in my last update I mention I wish that my augmented breasts were a little closer together. They are slightly more separated than my natural breastfeeding breasts. However, I also think they are a but smaller which might account for some of the additional separation. Perhaps the rest should be attributed to going under the muscle? Anyway, here are a couple pics for comparison. I actually prefer my breasts do not touch. I think it looks best on my frame. But it would be ideal if they were spaced exactly like my natural breastfeeding breasts. But I would definitely want to go any bigger! Also, since someone asked about the profile in the comments, I should note that "moderate" profile in Sientra is the medium profile, not low. So I went with the middle profile.

I feel almost normal. Think about implants much less frequently. Cardio exercise 100% back to normal. Have not tried weight bearing (like BodyPump which I used to do all the time). I think it still might be a little uncomfortable to flex pectoral muscles during heavy lifting.

The breasts don't look much different in these photos but I feel the swelling is completely gone. They are a little far apart but I guess that is just my anatomy (and low breast fat tissue prior to implant). The right bra brings them closer together. I am wearing bras with no underwire and have found that a 32B fits best. I have a bunch of swim suits and dresses with very low cut v-necks. Prior to surgery they used to be no big deal. Now they really emphasize the implant. Perhaps in a way that is less than ideal. :( you can see the unnatural roundness and separation despite fullness. But aside from this fashion they look very natural in clothing. Mostly feeling good about my decision to augment.

So I just had my 6 week post op this a couple days ago. Everything looks great and I am cleared to resume normal cardio. Still take it easy on the heavy core work for a bit longer. I actually have not run yet but plan to try soon. Still a tiny bit tender.

I am finally feeling like I am ready to stamp this review as "worth it". I have definitely had my doubts and even regrets along the way. But as I have healed I have felt more and more like myself. I am still not certain I would choose to do this again. Some part of me still feels like I mutilated myself. Elective plastic surgery is tricky. Something I personally will avoid in the future.

Despite my uncertainties about things, I really do like my results and am enjoying the look with clothes. Swelling has really gone down a lot. I still fit in my size 2 JCrew button shirts for work. But I definitely would not have fit in them if I would have even gone up to 275 cc. Happy I did not go bigger!!
