Well, it all started 20 years ago when I got my implants. I was young and very small breasted. I felt I was missing out on something by not having large breasts.
They served its purpose and I did enjoy my new breasts for about 10 years. The next 10 years I spent trying to hide my breast. I also found it very difficult to buy clothing because my breasts were so much bigger than my waist. I finally got up the courage and came to a solution, I wanted my breast implants gone and a small lift. I scoured the internet and found a great Surgeon in Seattle. Since I had saline implants, we agreed to drain my implants two weeks before my surgery, and let my skin heal and start to retract on its own. During those two weeks after we drained my breast , they started to look more and more like my own breath I remember 20 years ago. I myself am a surgical nurse, I am very aware of what goes on in the Operating Room, and a great judge of service. Dr Sowders whole team was very efficient, respectful, and knowledgeable. I felt she was honest, and really LOVED her job. I do not know my final results yet, but I will keep posting.

I had a similar story. Wishing you well. So much better after deflation. When you've been THERE and they're gone it feels so good. Almost like childbirth after a two decade pregnancy.... hoping your surgery went well.

agreed. you look great. you are now free to jump rope, run upstairs with out holding your boob's, run, sleep on your tummy, feel hugs, and buy cute little bra and panty sets, strapless sundresses..... I wish I'd have done it 10 years ago too! Take care of yourself. Lots of healing to do.

I really liked the Serica scar treatment at Walgreen's. You can get a $5 coupon online. It's not sticky or greasy or tape. It worked like a charm for me.

Thank you so much! Yes, I have already bought so many cute sundresses( no longer look preggers) and lil lacey bras (no more 100$ boulder holders!)

I can get massages laying on my tummy comfortably. So happy......here are some pics my surgeon took of before and a month or so after.
