Size still the same, yet getting softer breast tissue each week! Yay!
WORTH IT$7,500
I wondered just how much my textured, highly cohesive Sientra implants would soften and they have! Just in the past month especially! Really happy with the outcome! Can't thank Dr. Stridde, MD enough! Here are a few photos from a shopping trip to VS yesterday!

Hi Hope42.. I know it's been a while since you had your surgery but I was hoping you still get connected with "real self". I have to say that I am your biggest fan. I am 40 years old, 5'3" and 115 lbs. I just got my BA 3 days ago (August 30, 2016). I'm still adjusting. Pain was more than I thought will be. Breast doesn't exactly looks as pretty as you dream will look right away. I was looking and reading you profile (for the 7 time maybe) just to get inspired that at the end everything will look just like I wanted. Thanks for all those post you put last year when you had your surgery!!

I'd love to see them now, I'm the same height/weight and my doc recommended the same size. Anything you'd change?

Post op, 3 month, bra shopping!!
So fun to go to VS and try on underwire bras! No discomfort these days at the incision sites and the lumpiness of the scar tissue is gone, too. My breasts are continuing to soften and haven't really changed in size. So happy to now do pushups with much less pectoral muscle awkwardness (felt like they lifted and became tight previously). Happy to be healing and to now wear underwire bras without the push up padding! I did however choose this one that has slight foam padding on the bottom. I could not resist the color! :)

Is that a fitbit in gold, it looks like jewelry, mine is purple and only goes with gym clothes : ( You look great hope, at this point have you finished d&F or in the process, do they feel bigger as the months go on?

Hi DR35, I'm wearing the UPBand2 in champagne. I love it! I really need to track my deep sleep as I usually don't get enough of it within my overall sleep. Thank you for the compliment! :) I think I am finished with the d&f now at 16 weeks post op and they pretty much have stayed consistent on the size. :)

What is your size now? Funny that is the same reason I got fitbit because I am a total insomniac and wanted to know what my sleep looks like (and the other things are good too,water intake, food to calorie ratio, and heart rate). I wanted the up band that you can buy things with by tapping it to the Barcode with AMEX, but we had to get fitbit becausey husband's company would only pay for that : ( Fit bit needs more style seriously, I feel like a dork wearing it around all day,lol!

At VS my size is 32DD or 32DDD depending on the type of bra. It sounds like your Fitbit provides some great feedback for you! I need my UpBand to track sleep (especially deep sleep) as I too, am an insomniac early riser!! I think my UpBand2 doesn't do the purchasing option, but probably a good thing until I pay off these new additions! ;)

December 9, 2015
Hahaha! Exactly, I already told my husband we will be in debt by valentine's day! I know if I got the Amex fitbit my children would really abuse me in toysrus, they would slam me into a huge 100$ Lego structure and say oops now we have to take it home,lol!

They look amazing, thank you for posting these photos! I'm 1-month post-op, very lean naturally, & am nervous about whether or not they'll come together in a push-up bra eventually. They're way softer than I thought they would be at this point, so I hope that cleavage is coming soon!

Thanks so much, that is the side profile I hope for too, but your nipples are better than mine, it's so weird saying these things, I guess the only place it's appropriate is here, hahaha,but my nipples are darker and bigger than you, it gives the illusion of the breast being smaller because you can see less of the lighter skin around it, so you already had small round nipples, now they centered evenly on your bigger breast making them look big, round and symmetrical, I feel like my nipples will complicate the look because unless I do a nipplectomy, (which 2 PS have already recommended ), it's harder to look full and round from the front with so much nipples in the way, in looking at my wish pix I noticed that was a common theme, the more round symmetrical fuller ones also light colored small nipples that didn't detract away from the look, big nipples are like bullseyes!!

October 24, 2015
Sure, happy to help… I know it was very important for me to see others comparison photos! Are you thinking of having a nipplectomy then? I could imagine it would add a little bit cost wise and healing time? Also, more risk of desensitization of nipples?
D
October 24, 2015
Not right now, maybe if I do a lift in the future, but from what I have seen over time the nipple scar stretches like a star instead of maintaining it's normal round look with a nipplectomy, but for now I am trying to find a good ratio between upper and lower pole volume with my nipples centered . I have an off topic question, my husband was invited to a black tie event 3 weeks after my scheduled operation, what do you think, will they still be so high everyone can tell in a dress? And what if someone goes in for a hug and smashes my new boobies, is it too early?

H

Do you already have your dress picked out? I had an inexpensive dress I bought on Amazon.com that worked out well – body-conscious, but not low-cut – I think it's called a bandage dress? Maybe you can get away with something like that? I know when I hug my friend who has had implants in the last six months they feel solid. I think you'll be fine though if you're concern of possible discomfort. It's more comfortable if they are lifted more than anything.

* uncomfortable if they are lifted – not really when pressed in (like in a hug).

im cup a, explanted a month ago hopeful i wont need reimplanting. well, i was in the wrong, anyway, they did look great. have a cool day!

@Marmolada, I saw your profile and see the journey you have been on. You have beautiful breasts even after explant! Hopefully you don't take this wrong, but your nipples are what many men and women would find attractive or even ideal! I get what you say about wishing for more natural breast tissue to begin with. Hopefully, you can feel at peace with the transitions and never feeling wrong for your decisions - as you made the best decisions given the information you had.

October 28, 2015
@Hope, your nipples are ideal too ; ) you look awesome. @Marmolada, I agree with hope, you have to consider a lot of things before reimplanting, you are very slender and tall and I am guessing small rig cage and breasts width, decide whether you are going to go bigger than what your frame can take or decide on what is within the boundaries created by your own body, also I know you love yoga and we're considering becoming a yoga teacher, that should play a huge part in your decision, are your breasts going to dictate what your lifestyle choices are and what clothes you can and cannot wear? You may decide in ten years that you absolutely love yoga, but may be living with regret again for different reasons. We all have to make some of these decisions before the BA, but I think one that is overlooked is how will you feel about them 10 years later or when your are 60 years old or if you have children. My nipples were like you and Hope42 before pregnancy and breastfeeding, lol! I just looked at the most recent version of VS magazine, all those VS models have small breasts, maybe B cup at best, if they look huge in a particular pix, they were photoshopped in, the very next page they are small again. Many hot celebrities are also around a full B, it's like the style now, long slender bodies, perky breasts. So I only mention that because your body is model like and maybe it might look more proportionate to keep it conservative, but it depends what look you are going for in the end, nobody's wishes are wrong here, people want different things for different reasons that's totally okay : )

hey there, DR35, so lovely of you to remember me. I did love yoga but im never going to do it the way I did in the past. I was letting the trauma I landed in as a teenager condition me. No longer do I have to prove Im strong, and tough. I am not. Never was. I don't need to.
Its such a freedom to be free. I consulted a doctor, and we both agreed that stretching is not recommended in my case. With my body type its good I do moderate sport only to build and maintain muscles , which I wasn't developing when practising yoga. Im glad Im no longer a slave. I can breath, relax, and enjoy life at last without stressing Im not whatever enough. What a blessing!!

Thank you:)) Im finally over the demons from the past. No longer ' a victim' of what happened in my teens. Very liberating. Finally at peace . Im glad I didn't rush to reimplant.
Thank you for posting your review, and don't worry about rippling. Im positive it will be invisible in your case!! You have a fuller 'torso'. Have a great day!!

Wow your 32DDD looks so much more different than my 32DDD! I want to order the NightLift bra as well, but my cleavage isn't wide like yours. Wonder if it would work for me? I certainly don't want to push my breasts apart.

I saw your profile and I know each woman looks different with implants even if they have the same bra cup size. Your implants are 450cc and mine 385cc. I can't answer if it would work for you or not. I find the bra very comfortable though. Good luck!

Gorgeous girl :-)
