One year since N.A. surgery
Hi everyone. Today is one year since my BA so I thought I'd document here for anyone who's interested. Although I am overall pleased with final results, I occasionally wish I'd done more research before taking the plunge. I may have opted for round vs teardrop and/or slightly larger. Most of the time, however, I think I made the best choice (with surgeon's input), that my new boobs are proportionate to my frame & are as natural looking as I could've hoped to achieve.

Hi and happy anniversary to your new boobs! I really think they look gorgeous and veru natural. I personnaly think they are very big and bigger would look tacky to me... The pornstar look you did not want!
May I ask why you wiuld have chose the round implants instead? I am really torn between both implants as well!
It must hard after with all those sort of implantson market and sizes, you always wonder if another kind or size would have been better.

Thanks so much, Vanessa! I do think it's impossible to be objective about our own boobs & body parts so I really appreciate an outsider's feedback. I happened to see my surgeon last week & he reiterated that he didn't want to go any bigger on my frame, also stating that with time a larger implant would stretch the skin tissue & begun to sag so I am convinced now that 335cc size was the right choice. I originally shunned round implants thinking I'd end up with those telltale grapefruit looking boobs...too much upper pole fullness which isn't so natural looking. However, I didn't consider that the submuscular placement negates that result & end up looking more like a teardrop shape over time from what I've read- the bad boob jobs I've seen were probably over the muscle where there wasn't enough natural tissue to conceal the roundness. I also think a round implant MAY have given me better cleavage, or at least a smaller gap, but the surgeon insists that the gap is entirely a result of where the muscles attach to the sternum...mine happen to be attached further apart. The round implant is a couple grand cheaper than the teardrop for what I believe would have been a similar result so if money's a consideration, that's something else to consider. On the plus side, because it's form stable, I feel more confident that I have less to worry about with rupturing, oozing & related complications. Also, the full height, full projection (FF) of a teardrop implant was prob best for me given the longer than average distance between my clavicle & nipples...I NEEDED height & projection. So overall, I'm happy with my choice...my visit to the surgeon was affirming. Best of luck to you - would love to hear what you decide to do!

Hey, seen your comments on a few reviews, how you doing- are you still deciding between teardrop or round? I do hope you get your wish boobs soon if that's what you chose to do :)

Hi! No, I had my BA over a year ago & went with the teardrop. I've had my doubts about whether I made the right decision (round vs. teardrop) but I'm quite pleased with the results - I'll never take my boobs for granted! Did you have surgery? I'll have a look... : )

Hi. I have to say your end result looks so natural. Its very hard not to feel boob greed when looking on here :)
Im a similar age and had the same teardrop implants (except with a mastopexy as well). Mine feel quite firm, especially when I lie down and quite a different feeling to my breast tissue. Do you find this with yours and does your boyfriend comment?
Thanks in advance :) Id give your doctor 10/10

Thank you! Your results are great, too! I agree - boob envy! Human nature, I suppose, always thinking someone else has something you don't. Mine feel the least natural when laying down, like you said - very firm at the base - probably because there's less natural tissue there (it's mostly at the nipple area & above) & also because they're form stable/textured. It's a trade-off, I think. They'll never lose their shape & we should never have to worry about rupturing. At our age, too, less likelihood they'll ever need replacing! My BF likes them very much (he says!)...he'd had a couple prior GF's with implants which he described as crystal balls in a sock!

Ha ha. That's good to know as I did wonder how they compare to others - shame we cant feel beforehand and say "ill have two of those please" :). Thank you for the reply and reassurance about your feelings of how yours have settled. I really do feel more feminine and cant wait for Summer over here where I will actually fill my bikini top this year!!!

You look amazing! Sometimes the rounds can be too much on someone you size. They spill over the sides and will make you look kind of heavy. You chose the perfect style and you simply could not look any better!

Thank you for the positive feedback! I think you're probably right but regardless I have to accept what I (& surgeon) chose. I'm amazed at how many women get revisions done to swap out - wouldn't be worth it to me. As I said to someone else, it's our nature to second guess our choices...unless the end result is completely at odds with one's expectations, best to accept the final result.

Hello! You look lovely! I am currently researching the Natrelle 410 teardrop, as I don't want the "stripper boobs." Why do you feel that you would have opted for the round vs. teardrop post year? Are they comfortable? I heard from several reviews that they are very hard. . .thank you for your help!

Natural looking?
This is the silhouette I was hoping for. Although I still wish I had a little more lower pole volume, I'm very happy with the natural appearance. They are lower on the chest than average but that's just the way I'm built.

Looking really great! How do they feel? are they hard when you hold them?

Thank you! They are quite soft & squishy, actually. Granted, my natural breast tissue sits on top so that makes a difference but even the implant is very malleable.
