Almost 2 years now. Thought I should update my photos. Overall pretty happy with my size. Sometimes I wish the gap between my breasts was a little smaller, and that the right side would have dropped a little lower but, I am a perfectionist and these are things I can live with pretty easily. I do have my ups and downs still, sometimes I wish they were bigger, sometimes smaller.... I am a Gemini so, I was never good at making my mind up about anything anyways.

Wow first of all you rock for posting updates after the 6 month mark and even better after 2 years. Second of all your body is incredible. You are gorgeous. I am up for a revision next week and am switching from smooth round implants to natrelle 410 gummy bears. The doctor will decide in the OR whether he will use round or shaped gummy bears based on my desired look and how they look with my body type. I am super slim like you and seeing your results gives me hope! He has told me over and over that I shouldn't expect them to soften up until about 6 months. Much different then my experience with the smooth silicones that take maybe a month or 2 at worst. Anyways I am very happy for you and very glad that you continued to post and share your story. Good on you girl! You rock! If you have any advice or feedback feel free to write back :) Take care xoxo

Your CCs is exactly what I am looking at. Couple questions, are you happy with the gummy bears? Are you happy with going under the muscle? Just booked my first consultation today.

Thanks so much for sharing! I started off as a 34 A, got 255 cc textured, round 5 days ago and I have been going through an emotional roller coaster wondering if I made the right decision!

Anyone else have torpedo nipples after breast augmentation?

I love my new boobs, the only problem I have is my nipples always nipping out! They are always visible even through light padding, have to add light padding to every sports bra and bralette I wear and I have to wear silicone nipple covers when I want to go braless. I used to be able to get away without padding or nipple covers when I would wear a very tight fitting top. My nipples would just be pushed back into my soft boob tissue and wouldn't be a problem. Now they don't really do that, It seems like the implants pushing out from behind don't let my nipples push back into the tissue, so they are always sticking out :( Not a huge issue but a little annoying. Will this get better over time as my breast get even squishier and soft? I hope so. I always had big nipples to begin with so it's not too surprising.

I have perma-nipple too since my BA (250cc HP) and loving them! I'm 9 weeks post op and still wearing sports bras but haven't bought any bralettes yet. What brand of silicone nipple covers did you buy cuz I tried on a set and they were very thick and looked obvious under a tight shirt.
Good to know that it may take up to a year before my textured gel implants soften up ~ mine are still very firm. I also have no cleavage but am happy with a bit of the side boob too. You look fantastic!

The silicone nipple covers I use that are greAt are called 'nippies skin' by bristols6.com . You can get them with or without adhesive. If you are wearing the under something that isn't tight I recommend the adhesive, if your top is little tight get the non-adhesive, they still kinda stick to your skin but no adhesive which can be irritating after a while. They are reusable as well. And they have 2 sizes. The normal size is 3.25" and size 2 is 4.25". I'll wear the regular size most of the time but I wear the larger size if the fabric I'm wearing is really thin and I don't want to look like I have a little circle surrounding my nipple, because it's covers a lot more of my breast and looks more like a bra line if you see it than a pastie circle.
These are totally worth the Money and way better than the cheap stuff you find at target etc.. which are garbage and weird looking.
