Checking in/ Breast Lump
Just wanted to check in with everyone here :) Most days I absolutely love my new boobs! Sometimes I wish I went a little more "fake" but overall I think that my breasts look fantastic in a good bra :) My husband insists that my news boobs are better than sliced bread! He always said he wasn't a "boob guy" but he certainly has changed his tune! We're both happy with the result :)
With all the good news, I am a bit concerned with a lump I found last month. I didn't think much of it, because well... I just didn't think it was a big deal. It's about the size of pea, and its on the lower portion of my boob... closer to the armpit...Unfortunately, it hasn't gone away.
Today I had an appointment with my doctor who scheduled me for a stat mammogram and ultrasound. I thought this was all pretty normal and wasn't really concerned. But during my ultrasound, the tech called in a doctor to come look... they started asking more questions about pain, nipple discharge, etc. I honestly haven't had any... and the lump is so small that I didn't really think they would do anything today. So anyway, long story short, I'm scheduled for a biopsy in two weeks. The doctor said it could be a fatty tumor or something else benign, but they just want to make sure it's not cancer. So... I don't really know what to think. I'm sure it's nothing, but it is kind of scary to think of what it could be. I know this sounds so stupid, but I'm worried they'll pop my implant during the biopsy! I mean, I don't know how deep they go... surely it wont go through the muscle right? I have no idea! Lol!
The only other thought in my mind is that if it is cancer and I need my breast removed I ONLY want Dr. Feldman to fix me!! I don't even know if he would, but I don't trust anyone else!
Anyway, I hope everyone is well! If you're still reading, thanks for listening to me vent lol.

I am really sorry to hear that girl, I hope everything goes okay for you! If you are a faithful person keep your faith close to you! I will pray for you. If it makes you feel any better I have a little lump in my boob that I found 2 days post op. I am now 13 days post op and it is still there, although i am really hoping it is just part of my "fiberous" breast tissue I had before and just couldn't feel it before my surgery. Were you ever told you had lumpy breasts before surgery ?

Hi there! Where is your lump? Mine doesn't feel like it's related to
My implants... it's hard to explain, but it feels like it's under my skin, but above my implant. What does yours feel like?
My OB/Gyn never said anything about lumpiness when I've gone for my woman's exam... it's strange because I've massaged my boobs everyday since surgery and just recently found it... I think I would have noticed it before, but who knows lol!
I hope your lump clears up soon!

That exactly how mine feels also, it's on the inner side of my leftie I'd say half way in between my cleavage and nipple. It's still there, I tried not to touch it or think about it for a couple weeks but checked on it again the other day and it's definitely still there, and I can feel it slightly more now that my implants and muscles have softened up. I think I am gonna go to the dr and have it checked out. What ended up happening with yours? Did you get the results of your biopsy yet?
February 7, 2017
I cancelled my biopsy :/ My husband has a wonderful, but very NEW job and he couldn't take any time off of work the stay with our little ones. We don't have any family in the same state and I just didn't want to deal with asking friends. Lol. I'm really bad about going to the doctor... I really hate going! I'll probably go back in a few months if it's still there :/
Let me know what you find out if you get yours checked out!

I think you will be okay, just have faith and everything will work out the way it is supposed to. Keep us posted we will pray for ya
January 19, 2017
Thanks :) I will definitely post an update with the results either way. Hope you're doing well, you look great!!

I have a quarter size of hardened tissue right near the armpit in my left breast. I had it before my implants but I remember how scary it was when they did the ultrasound and kept asking questions and getting second opinions!! I'm sure it's nothing but that's so good you caught it now... I'm always feeling around my boobs now I feel like there's so much ground to cover lol. And I completely agree.... I'd be the same way about anyone except dr Feldman working on me!
January 20, 2017
Thank you for commenting! I haven't been able to find any other women that have had this happen and it makes me feel better that yours ended up being benign! Did they say if it was just fibrous tissue or fatty tumor? I also feel like there is so much boob to inspect lol!!! I have military insurance so I'm not sure that I'm allowed second opinions, but I'm hopeful that the biopsy will come back 100 percent conclusive that its absolutely nothing :)
One funny conversation that kept coming up through this whole thing was what a good job my surgeon did on my breasts. My primary care doctor said he has never seen such a small and perfect scar in the inframammory fold. And then, the ultrasound technician (who also happens to be another male!) told me that he scans breasts with implants all the time, but mine were "really nicely done". Its kind of strange, but I'll take the compliments lol! I seriously wouldn't choose any other doctor for my boobs!

Wow woman I'm praying for you please keep me posted

Thank you! I cancelled my biopsy and haven't been back to the doctor. I'm going to go back in a few months if it isn't gone.

There really haven't been any changes lately. I'm still happy with my boobs although I do worry about needing a lift and all that goes along with that surgery. Hopefully I'm still years and years away, but time will tell!
I still get very sore boobs after doing simple things like moving furniture or lifting weight over my head (think re-organizing closets). I'm not sure if this is a result of the implants or the result of me basically trying to not use those muscles as much as possible. It's doesn't really bother me, but I thought I would mention it here.
On another note, I can still "feel" my implants. When I grab my own boobs I can feel the implants get squeezed, but my husband can't tell where they stop or
Start. I can always feel my implants when I hug people, but again no one else can feel them lol. It's a strange feeling.
I've added some pictures just to show they are still hanging in there lol. Please excuse my mom belly! I haven't been nearly as dedicated to the gym as I was before surgery lol! Hope everyone is well! Any questions, just ask!

they simply look like perfect big natural boobies that you've had forever! :) you look great!
December 19, 2016
You results are Awesome! I wish I went bigger and was more your size!! Congrats!!
December 22, 2016
Thank You! I was so worried about 520cc not being porportionate, but thankfully it fits my body pretty well :) You're results look amazing, too!
January 9, 2017
U still look great I know exactly what u mean I can feel mine and nobody else can my fiance thinks I'm nuts but I can definitely feel them but my boobs are soft now and for the most part dropped into place my left one is a little bit more firmer still I feel it will probably drop a tiny bit more but I am happy with them.. I do everything like normal now lifting ect.... I still feel them move when I bend over getting use to it though and I do still wish they was bigger lol but they fit my frame well I guess.... When you lay flat on ur belly do they feel weird still I definitely haven't gotten use to that yet Hahha
January 10, 2017
You look awesome! And I'm glad you're doing so well! I don't ever lay on my stomach for more than a few seconds because it was one of the restrictions my surgeon gave me :( I know the feeling you are talking about though. When I lean on something that squishes my boobs it feels so strange. Like water balloons are about to pop inside my skin lol!
January 10, 2017
Can you post some updated pictures?! I have similar stats and implants as you and wanted to see how you are coming along and how you feel about them
January 10, 2017
I can definitely post some updated pictures soon :) I've been trying to get a few good pictures, but they never photograph well! When I look at them in the mirror I love the size and shape, I don't even mind that they are a little saggy. My husband tells me everyday how pretty they are lol. But when I take pictures, oh my god... I just hate the way they look. This is really new for me, because I've been LOVING them this whole time. I guess now that they have settled they just look more "mom-ish" than I'd like for being only 27. Sorry for the rant! I'll try to post a full update this week! Btw, you are looking fantastic!
January 10, 2017
Lol, well the last pictures I saw looked great, and you know I have heard men prefer natural looking boobs over fake looking anyway :)
January 10, 2017
Haha well thanks! I'm definitely looking natural over here LOL! How are you liking your results? After looking at your photos I kind of wish I would have gone moderate profile because I think it would have helped the "gap" in between my boobs.
January 10, 2017
Anytime, I almost didn't get them for that reason but really didn't feel comfortable naked unless lights were off. I honestly am really happy up to this point it hasn't been long enough to fully assess though because I think they will drop a little.
What profile did you get exactly why is the number on your CC card?

I have also been sleeping with pillows under my arms to keep my cleavage pushed together wile sleeping... I think it's helped a lot
January 10, 2017
Ahh that's a good idea! I should have kept the pillows under my arms after the 12 weeks, too! I still sleep mainly on my back, but occasionally I'll wake up on my side.
My card says SRF-520. I know Dr. Feldman said I could have gone larger, but I did not want HUGE fake boobs. I really just didn't want to look like a scooped spoon anymore! Before I had surgery I cannot remember a time I took off my bra during sex, because I was just too self-conscious about my boobs. So we are definitely alike! I'm so glad that you are happy with your results :) You really do look great!
