All is great. Went to my 3 week post op follow up appointment on Friday. Starting scar treatment this week. First workout on Saturday morning— felt super!
Very happy with the revision. So glad I decided to go through with it. Posting two quick pics I snapped tonight— these are cute and pretty. I still feel like me. They’re enough to make me feel feminine yet still make me feel/look slim.

Feeling great!
Okay. Let’s try this again. Not sure how much I will get to cover but whatever I leave out I will update tomorrow. Just like the first time, this is a very easy recovery. But this time around ... just muuuuuch muuuuuuuuuuuch easier (and the first time around was very easy!). So I definitely have dr. T and his team to thank. Took ibuprofen the first two nights (cause it said to on the bottle... but really... didn’t even need it after the first) I was super coherent when I woke up from surgery, it kinda freaked my hubby out a little bit how clear headed and super awake I was. Oh! And i forgot to mention my post op room recovery nurse , Michelle, the first time around... so I won’t forget again... she’s super awesome and a great face to see/voice to hear when waking up from the anesthesia. Anyhoo... Um... second day (first day post op) I was really down because my boobs looked really sad. You know the look.... right after you’ve stopped breastfeeding.... and the milk is gone.... and your boobs look shriveled up and haven’t yet adjusted to not producing milk? Yeah my boobs looked kinda like that... so that day I was really down (even though I knew , in my heart, the skin will adjust and this was just very temporary). And it was VERY temporary... third - fourth day they started to take shape and did I mention I was feeling great? No pain no weird pulling nothing. Baked multiple cakes and went to a huge children’s bday party third day post op. And I felt great because I looked thin in my clothes again. With the 240 moderates, I always felt a touch heavy. Yeah. Boobs can do that. And I wasn’t very comfortable with that look. With the 190 low plus’ ? I look thin again! And I felt like me. I actually had a lot more I wanted to talk about (I think) but it’s getting late, I had a long day and my brain wants a rest So I will just post a few pics I took real quick .

Awesome update! Glad to hear your are doing well and happier with the revision! :)

Just found your review, both of your results looked great but good on you for doing what's best for you! Some days I feel like mine are just a little too big for my frame as well, a touch too much projection and width, so I totally get what you had felt. It's almost refreshing to see that others feel the same..usually you hear a lot of women wishing they'd gone bigger! It's so hard to know before hand what you'll end up with, but knowing now I think 270cc would have given me exactly what I was looking for (I have 325). I debate if one day I will downsize, but right now I just don't know if I could justify all that cost again. But possibly one day if after I have kids.

These things aren't permanent. And eventually down the line you'll have to switch them out anyway. so if you're mostly happy with the ones you've got, you're fine! :) don't touch them. there is no need to rush to get a revision. for me though, the extra fullness and projection was driving me nuts.... and i would have much rather taken them out completely than keep the 240 moderates.
March 28, 2019
Thank you Summerbright for this feedback/comment! I've been trying to decide if I downsize by 50cc as well and really flip flopping back aNd forth. Some days I'm ok with the fullness and other days I am really cringing. Especially when in a bathing suit or similar situation. There are so many factors to the swap:
Money (it's not nearly as expensive as the first time around but it's still $$)
Time off (again not that bad but my little kids just went thru a lot when I couldn't pick them up for those few weeks)
What if they look worse than now? I had asymmetry and what if they look super symmetrical again.
I really appreciate your advice: that you would have rather taken them out completely or downsize. I wouldn't want to take mine out completely so perhaps I'll just keep as is?
I can always revisit later down the line in a few years I suppose. It's just that when I don't like them, I really really just hate them. They make me feel cheap and heavy.
Other times I don't even think about it.
I didn't think I'd struggle back and forth after the surgery!!
Any more advice since swapping? Would love to continue to see updated pics as you heal. Congrats !

thanks mylarbunny. i will definitely continue to post updates :) as for advice? lol i haven't any, really. i don't know what i'm doing? haha. i just had to go forward with a revision sooner rather than later because, for me, it was just affecting my day-to-day.... and who needs that kind of nonsense? just needed to move forward and move on. I'm not one to give advice on the subject, though. but i am happy to answer any questions you might have. and here to chat. :)

Thank you for your review! You’re results look great! I’m glad you wrote a review because I am struggling with what size, I’m on the petite size 4’10 and one surgeon suggested 200cc and another said anywhere from 225 to 175 CCs and I’ve been sure what size to get!
March 26, 2019
oh you ARE petite! :) ya know.... it really depends on what look you're after. some women know they want big.... some women know they want subtle.... and then there are others who just don't know what they really want. for me, less is more and bigger is not better. :)

I'd love to see an updated pic if you are willing to share!
How has your skin responded? As in, has it become tighter since downsizing?
Are you back to working out and picking up your kids? (Aka regular life, haha)
Hope you are feeling well and loving them still!
Hope you are feeling well!

hi mylarbunny! oh yeah, i'll take a few pics this week and post :) skin has become tighter around the implants, for sure. lost the looseness very quickly. and yes- definitely back to regular life (minus the working out -- more so because of weird schedule past two weeks... will definitely pick it back up next week) as for picking up my kids, YEP i have been picking up my kids. i'm currently three weeks out. i believe on post op day 8 i took my 40lb son out to ride his bike. and well he suddenly fell, so i ran to him, swooped him up and consoled him. and it wasn't until he stopped crying and got back on his bike that i realized i had lifted him up and had been carrying him for the past, i dunno, 5-10ish minutes? and i felt perfectly fine having done so.. but i knew that even though i felt fine i probably shouldn't be lifting yet? so i waited another 5 days or so..... and right before the two week post op mark was when i decided i 'm ready. i've been listening to my body and i've just been ready . everythings felt normal for a while so yes - been happily picking up my kids :) i'm feeling great. and yes i love these . how are you feeling about yours this week?

Revision
Check in at 7 surgery was at 8 and I went home at 930. No pain. And very minimal grogginess from the anesthesia. Came home, ate a bowl of a oatmeal and a croissant. Rested for two hours. And had some lunch! Swapped the 240cc moderate profile for the 190cc low plus. The 240cc really looked great but didnt fit the super natural look I needed. The 190s have only been in me a few hours but I can tell these will be looking Uber natural on me. Feeling great. Kids are waking from nap soon and will take them for a walk on the sand :). Beautiful day in Santa Monica.

Arghh! Wrote a long update on my phone and somehow hit the wrong button and lost it all before I got to post! Ugh. Will try again this weekend on my computer! But all is good on my end! Easiest recovery. :)
