Worth it!

I can't believe I'm approaching my year anniversary. Time flies! A year ago I was so nervous about having this surgery. I'm so glad I did it and didn't chicken out. My breast are soft and feel very comfortable and real. Before surgery I was worried I would always feel something foreign in me but that is not the case. They feel very much a part of me. I wish I had more pre-op pictures. When I see my ps at the end of next month I'm going to get copies to compare how I looked then to how I look now. It's funny how easily you get used to your new look. They are sisters not twins. I like the left side with the smaller implant best. It looks slightly bigger and has more side boob. All and all I'm really stoked with my results. Definitely worth it!

Thank you so much!!! I am soooooo relieved! My fear was they were gonna look stiff like a mannequin and not squish together on your side. Looking at your pics they seem to fall pretty naturally.
I see what you're saying about that space. I have a similar space (which I never noticed before I started obsessing about this augmentation). Was there anything the ps could have done differently? This is also a topic I want to discuss with my ps. I think I'll be okay as long as I know what to expect.

I didn't notice my gap until after surgery. I thought the gap was from lack of boobs. At my 3 month post op appointment my surgeon did say he could do fat injections. I wish I had known more about profiles before surgery. I've wondered if I'd have more projection with a different profile or a larger implant. I focused on looking natural and worried about going too big. If I could go back in time I'd definitely ask for 350cc or 400cc. You should check out Britt56 review. Her results are amazing. Glad I could help. My breasts didn't squish together like that right away it took a couple months. You should start a review. I was hesitant at first but everyone is so great and supportive. Even though there are things I'd do differently overall I'm really happy with my results I look way better than before. I'm glad I finally took the plunge and had this surgery. Honestly the most stressful part was preparing for surgery. Best of luck. Keep me posted let me know what your ps says about filling in the gap :)

I love the way britt56 looks!! Another thing I like about both yours and hers is you didn't have that frankenboob look where they look scary, square and super high. They look really natural practically right after surgery. I guess that's the point of getting the shaped implants.
I am very excited about the results but am nervous about the pain and lack of movement. I go back to work 7 days after surgery. I hope that's enough time.

Yes I was so scared of the square boobs! Although my breasts were higher after surgery it was mostly swelling and muscle tightness. I used ice for the first couple days. I also found the Valium worked best for pain. It relaxed my muscles and I felt relaxed which allowed me to actually rest. I took 1/2 the suggested dose and it really helped. I took the pain med too but after about 4 or 5 days I didn't need either medication. I think 7 days is enough time. I had my surgery on a Monday and by the weekend I was getting back to my normal routine. I just moved a lot slower. The pain isn't too bad. The first day or 2 is just weird from the anesthetic and medication. I felt out of it. The pain is like tightness. It reminded me of when I was nursing and my milk came in. My ps allowed me to do arm exercises after the 3 day. That helped a lot with muscle tightness. Ask your ps they all are different. You'll do great. The time before surgery is the hardest part.

This is awesome that you took and posted these pics! Wish I had seen them prior to my BA as well! I did get the high profile (300 cc) and am really happy with them...had to get a revision on my left, but it looks good now. Yours actually look really even to me...but then again I've been obsessing over my asymmetry for months now! (Mine rotated and didn't drop...it was way more obvious than yours...which I have to look very hard to see any difference...they look very natural, congrats!). Thanks again for the informative photos!

Hi. I can't believe its been over 6 months from my surgery. My implants feel like a part of me. They are super soft and jiggly. They feel natural. My muscles have fully relaxed and I don't get little twinges of pain anymore. Due to my anotomy my breasts sit far apart on my chest. I wonder if I'd chosen round implants or hp if they would be closer together. The size is modest and exactly what I asked for. When I feel they are too small I look at my before pictures. I'm very happy with my results. My only regret is not doing it sooner.

Thanks you are so sweet. I was super scared. It took me years to finally decide to go for it. The funny thing is everything I was afraid of was not an issue. If you have any questions feel free to ask. If you have any questions feel free to ask. Best of luck :)

Wow, can't believe how natural your look! Did you get the round base and what projection? I got round and I was scared it would make me look too wide, wasn't used to having breast overlap my armpit area, but at 6 months mine is settling down now too. Can you get yours together now? Mine are almost there if I push really hard.

Thank you! You look amazing! Mine are classic base moderate projection. I can push em together comfortably now. I have always had huge gap between my breasts. I want to find a bra that pushes them together rather than pushes them up. Any suggestions? If I were to do it all over again I would ask if a higher profile would help close in the gap. I'm sorry to hear you have to have a revision. Glad it's not cc and an easy fix. Good luck with surgery and keep us posted.

I ended up with high projection 300cc both sides, and I haven't gone "cleavage" bra shopping yet, I have a feeling I won't feel comfortable about it until at least a year out...I didn't think there would be a significant change between 2 and 6 months, but looking at the pictures ...I'm wrong! I'm sure there will be more changes in the next 6 months for me (especially after my revision this month). Thanks for the response...my husband isn't a "boob" guy so all of this is wasted on him (although I do think he is slowly changing his mind!)
