Wow it's been a long time since I posted a photo! It's been 1 year and 9 months since I had my 550cc high profile silicone implants done. At first I was upset with how uneven they were, then I realized, that's how my breasts were BEFORE the procedure. Now I absolutely LOVE them. They're beautiful and huge, just like I asked for :). You can't even tell they're uneven when I'm wearing a bra.
Bras: I find myself wearing 34DD Full Coverage, lightly lined bras from Soma. They seem to fit better than VC bras.
Swimsuits: Near impossible to find tops that fit! Old Navy extra large tops are the only tops I could find that covered the most.
Wardrobe: I had to seriously toss almost all of my work dresses and a bunch of tops. I've since replenished my wardrobe with some very nice items. I still dress professionally at work but find it quite hard to find dresses that don't show cleavage, because, well, let's face it.. I have A LOT of cleavage (even when I'm not wearing a bra).
This is probably my last post. Good luck to everyone searching for their dream boobies :). Happy to say I've found mine.

I'm only 5 ft tall and I weight 150. I'm not really big really even if my weight - height say otherwise. I'll be one year post op in April. A lot of the time I say to myself I'm going to get bigger ones in a few years :-)

....but with only one month post op- I would give it at least till the 6 month mark to really see a big difference from where you're at. I look at my one month and they looked like boxes on my chest!

I'm with you on the slow drop, I'm 7 weeks post op yesterday also 550cc sub muscle.. And ones going down faster then the other. They told me I could swim and after.. Right back swollen again... Ughh. Can't tell in my pics since the swim suit hides it. I'll be asking my dr next week about wearing normal bras ;)

I was also asked to go bra less (which seemed crazy then) , but they are now almost at the same high. It has been two years thou and took a few months before i was "happy" about their symmetry

Yesterday at my Consult the doctor told me he may need to lower the fold in my right breast! I am now soo nervous that mine will be uneven... Even tho he's evening them out!

I also have 550 UHP. I'm 6 days post op and they have not moved one bit. They are high up to my neck. I'm having pain on the right boob. If it wasn't for that I would be ok. I haven't been able to go back to work. I'm so scared that they will take months and months to drop:(
Good luck with your healing. I also had one breast a little lower than the other one but the Dr was going to cut the creases so that they will be even. Best wishes your way.
