Filler still going strong

WORTH IT$8,400
Hi guys,
So far, the filler is doing the trick. I hope it lasts, or that the implants settle to the point where I am satisfied. It was still really worth it. I feel totally in proportion now, and am very comfortable moving and working out- even lying on my stomach for a massage. I'm still pretty self- conscious about them when it comes to men-- I feel like there will always have to be a conversation or SOMETHING, but otherwise, I can't complain. :-)

Well, as time goes on, I feel like my implants look better and more natural. I was still disappointed with the dent (see previous update), so I had Dr T inject some cosmetic filler in the dent. It's filled it out to a point where I am satisfied. This is supposed to last for a year, so then I'll see. I would really love to have a permanent solution, but I'll take this for now.

I really like your results. I am scared of having this done and being too big. My surgery is scheduled for march and I will be discussing final size at my pre-op. my dr said advised anywhere in the range of 300-390. I was just wondering if yours were high profile or moderate? I really like the way yours look natural and not at all fake. I hope my outcome looks as good as yours!

I should've mentioned that I'm getting saline instead of silicone so I'm not sure if the sizes in saline vs silicone look different... Ugh, there's just soooooo much to consider.

They look really beautiful! Thanks for sharing your story :) im also getting Sientra implants that are the same size. Do they feel natural or anything close to real breast tissue?

First disappointment
subtletyjaneFebruary 26, 2014
Hey guys, posting a new pic- as the swelling went down, this small indentation has developed. It's because of the size of my chest cavity, coupled with my lean body mass, and it's always a risk, but since everything has gone so smoothly to this point, it's a little let down. My doc says we bed to wait a few more months before doing anything about it, and I think he's right- still just a few months post and they will continue to change for up to a year. Hoping that as they drop and flatten, this will go away. My friends have all said it's not a big deal, but of course when it's on your body, it's different!

You look amazing! so funny how different ccs look so different on everybody! You look so natural. Congrats! Sounds like you healed pretty quickly and were back to normal. If you can be carrying heavy trays for 11 hours at day 11, hopefully, I'll be ok to be watching my lil one I nanny for after 10 days of recovery. Thanks for sharing girlie! Xo!

First... You picked a great size for your frame and lifestyle. I'm very similar to you, and I picked 250cc. I have the same concerns as you do too... When did you u first notice about that indentation in your breast? I totally get you... It is easy to say when you aren't the person that has it, and when we all went through surgery to look beautiful... I get it.

Thanks for the support. I first noticed the dent around the 3 month mark, I guess, and my doctor admitted to noticing it, too. He wanted to wait longer to do something about it, which I think is wise (who knows how they'll continue to settle), but it is definitely disappointing. I'm almost at 6 months now, and I *think* it's less noticeable, but if I move my pec in a certain way, it's, in my eyes, incredibly obvious... which was the exact thing I wanted to avoid! I'm seeing my doc again in a few weeks. Options would be a fat transfer, or re-positioning them. I hate to go through surgery AGAIN, but I can't have them looking fake. Disappointing, too, because the other one is PERFECT.
When did you first notice the issue? Have you taken steps to do anything about it?

Wow your results are great!!! Did you chose sientra smooth round? Or textured?
May 18, 2014
Wow! They look amazing. If you don't mind I like to show my dr your pic as my wish boobs. My consultation is on 29th. If you mentioned that you were comfortable not so much pain , is they anything your dr did? I'm so worry about the pain and how am I going to care my my children. I read so many stories how much pain other ladies went through and the blues that came with it. I'm so worried about this.

My doc just did a great job. i'm still disappointed about the dent, but c'est la vie. how was your consultation??
June 30, 2014
You look great!! :) Hope the indentation issue is getting better for you!
July 1, 2014
thank you! it's sort of staying put, unfortunately, but i'm hoping the "older" they get, the less noticeable it will be. hopefully!!
