I met my surgeon again yesterday (extremely briefly) and had more photos taken. The surgery and results are good, but the follow-up care is NOT good at ID hospital in Seoul, ROK.
Anyways, my health is good, but I still feel weird about chest exercises (I had sub-muscular implants and it stll feels strange to do pull ups and push ups). I am going to wait a few more weeks before incorporating them into my regular workout routine (but try to do some sporadically). I also have to wait until the 6 month mark for underwire bras. Also, the scars are beginning to fade also the small bump near month left incision is dissolving slowly. I'm feeling more optimistic about the surgery although I am considering starting a body building program soon, so I am concerned that I may be limited in my program. I'll update later as I see what happens!

Just finished reading your review. They look fantastic and you deserve kudos for going larger, because I think the 300 would have been too small. You still manage to have a very elegant gap between due to the sternum and yet you have shapely side boob. Congratulations and happy healing.

@Wetworks her gap you refer to is her anatomy and BA only exaggerates that. Unless the surgeon purposely goes in and fixes that issue they go in and place the implants so they're centered directly under your areolas. I think what makes lovely results is that everyone's boobs are different, no two sets are alike. That's why their sisters not twins!

I think you have beautiful results! Sorry your PS/hospital didn't give you the best service possible. Love to see an update. Thanks for sharing your journey with us on RS. :-)

Hello all,
Well my last entry was an anxiety-filled rant. Not exercising was EXTREMELY difficult for me, and my emotions seemed to go up and down every other day.
I enjoy many sports and activities, including yoga, and I could not do a simple chaturanga until recently. While I haven't specifically trained chest in the gym, I am slowly introducing more compound movements around that area to build strength and get accustomed to the strange animation deformity feeling. It is strange.
Other than I cough I have from a cold, these days, my health is MUCH better.
Here is recent picture for 13 weeks. Boob greed is definitely real! Some days I wish went another 100cc bigger, and other days I still wonder if I should have gotten boobs at all! I basically try to not think too much about it these days.
I have a checkup with my P.S. next week for a 3-4 month check. I want to check out a small painless bump near my incision scar which I am guessing is an internal incision or scar tissue.
Other than that, I have no pain these days, but sometimes I have aches or strange sensations that come and go, which could be related to my increased activity and working out (and the muscles adapting, etc.). The incision scars are fading, but my healing is not amazing. I'll post photos of them later.

Hi, I'm glad you're feeling a bit better than last post. I see a lot of improvement since your last pictures, you have a very beautiful result. I hope your check up goes well x

I'm feeling you on so many of your issues.. I've got rippling, my implants are two different sizes which is driving me crazy... and I am already thinking in my head "next time I'll do xyz differently"... next time? How am I already planning another surgery... I feel nuts!
May 11, 2017
Ahhhh - believe me, I get it. The healing and cost is no joke. I think I will get another surgery eventually. I got mine under the muscle, and didn't really realize how it could be a problem if I get more into weight lifting. I'm hoping to do just that and now I'm a bit worried! I'll check out your profile and read your story! How are you feeling now?
May 11, 2017
I'm worried about lifting too!!! I work out a lot and plan on really getting back into it as well... and I need to do a lot of upper body work! I'm feeling pretty good. Still have random nerve zings from time to time. My incision sites itch very often and wearing bras all day every day is getting really uncomfortable. But I'm already a little unhappy with how low my breasts are... so I don't want them moving!!! I hope lifting doesn't cause you any problems or discomfort!! I know I'm scared to get into it just because it already feels very strange to flex my muscles... forget trying to lift or push weight! Ack... it is such a love hate relationship with these boobs... I had them before, and missed them. But it's just not the same...

Regrets and General Emotional Upset
applebottom9February 27, 2017
Hi,
So today is exactly one month post op, and to be honest, I regret my decision so far.
Every day I am concerned that I will eventually have some complication. I just returned to lifting legs at the gym two days ago, and I am just generally feeling horrible about my body. The scale is nearly the same, which is not a good sign, since I gained two breast and I can see my muscle has atrophied.
While it is good that I can do legs now, I feel like my body is not my body. I struggle with body dysmorphia, and it feels really bad now since the operation.
Regarding my actual breasts, I have rippling at both sides when I bend over (somewhat common I researched) and also visible, but not horrible rippling in my front cleavage right breast. When I push them together, the rippling is barely noticeable, but as said, I'm just waiting for things to get worse.
I have a 5 week appointment this week with my surgeon. I have no clue what he will say, but I assume nothing can be done, except another surgery! I can't imagine having another surgery and the healing time all over again.
Basically, I regret this whole thing. Can anyone help me? Will I ever feel normal and good again? I am dying to lift again and return to my healthy state. Lately, I just have anxiety and I haven't been sleeping well. :(

I’m sorry to hear that. I’m one both in today, and I also have anxiety because I have rippling as well! did you get the Qid version or no? I didn’t. I’m not sure if I really have motiva implants now.
I can't remember exactly, but I think I waited to squat until 2-ish months. I did other leg stuff like quad and hammies on the seated machines.
Perhaps three months for proper squats, but you can start trying things out at 6-8 weeks and see how you feel. To hold the bar? You have to have an open chest and back, and while healing, I know I rounded my shouldera for awhile a while felt like I had rocks on my chest. I had considerable pressure on my sternum for several weeks.
Now, I'm all good except for push ups and pull ups. I haven't tried benchong bc I assume I am not ready. I will wait another month or two for that to be safe. I also dont want the breasts to move to the outside with too much cheat wotk, so I will always be cautious I think. The muscle was cut so I think thereally is still swelling inside. All surfacing swelling has subsided and I just think the breasts will continue to soften amd loom a but more natural with time, say 6-12 months.
Have you been doing Jornal day to day stuff now, like holding bags, etc.? How are you?
