Boob Greed

WORTH IT$9,000
It's been a little over 3 months and I definitely don't regret getting my BA but I wish I would've gone bigger. I used to always wear a VS bombshell so now I honestly feel smaller than I did before. No one can even tell I got them (except my fiancé). But in clothes you definitely can't tell. I am happy with how much they've rounded out! I've come to accept the fact that they will just always be a little asymmetrical. Scars are still visible but are softening. Still no feeling on lateral left breast.

Dr. Caplin is amazing at what he does. I knew from my first consultation that he was the best. He is straight forward and matter of fact. I had never had surgery prior to my breast augmentation, and he made me feel completely comfortable and not nervous what so ever. He knew by looking at me (with clothes on!) exactly which implants would be the best for my frame, and those are what he ended up going with in the end. They look great. I had minimal pain postoperatively and have had a great recovery. I've seen him several times for postop checkups and he is always pleasant, quick, and on time. Highly recommend!

That looks good after 3 months! How are they doing now?
these were the tear drop shape correct?! I’m having moms done by Caplin this Wednesday, getting super nervous
Tell you the truth....I liked the before.

6 week photos

I can't believe it's been 6 weeks! They are looking better and better. The slight double bubble I had on the left breast is almost completely gone and they have dropped some. Now that all the swelling is gone I feel like I could've gone a little bigger but I'm definitely still happy with them! Still no feeling on the lateral portion of my left breast and still experiencing some nipple sensitivity but am able to go through a complete 15 hour work day without any issues. I can't wait for summer so I can show them off! :)

Congrats! That's great that the double bubble went away. I had no idea that could go away on their own. They look great!
Thanks! My PS said the cohesive gel implants are more firm so they can stretch the skin out where the old fold was, sometimes completely and sometimes not. I guess I lucked out!
Looks so good :)

Going back to work tomorrow :( :( :(

I have to go back to work tomorrow morning super early (dreading the morning boob) and I am feeling super anxious about it! My job is pretty labor-intensive and I'm not sure how much I'll be able to do since I've been trying to rest up. I also am worried about which bra to wear, none of them are comfortable but all for different reasons. I can stand all of them for awhile but my hours are looooong. I might bring one to change into midway through the day lol. Besides that, not much has changed. My nipples are still extremely sensitive--they burn/sting/feel chafed all day, and when I shower or touch them they have this deep ache that I cannot describe. I've tried massaging them but it doesn't change anything. Hoping this goes away soon, it's been my biggest complaint thus far.

Can I ask how tall you are and weight? I'm on the fence with sizing (2/17 date) and yours are a nice realistic size.
I'm 5'3 and 106 lbs. I love mine but I could've gone bigger. I look like how I looked before when I wore a Bombshell. I think this summer when I wear swimsuits and backless dresses etc I'll be more excited about the size. What are you deciding between? I ultimately just let me doctor choose
My dr is suggesting 405 and 370. I was thinking more 385 and 350 but am so unsure. I'm 5'4" 116 lbs.
I think it also depends how much breast tissue you have to begin with. I was a 32 C at VS prior to surgery so I had a little something lol! Either way yours will look fabulous!
You look amazing! Just been trying on my bikinis ready for my sunshine weekend end of march and am soooo excited! How has work been? X
