11 month update pics
A lot has changed in eleven months. When swelling decreases it certainly does transform your breasts, mine looked substantially smaller, and I felt slightly disappointed. In my mind "substantially" was how I felt, husband begs to differ that they in fact actually looked smaller.
At two months post, I had a multitude of internal stitches that spit their way out through the incisions. Only time i have dealt with dissolvable stitches and yet it's highly rare to have an allergic reaction, I am certain my body was rejecting them, this however caused my scars to change texture and shape. They are more pronounced and even though they feel slightly smooth, it's appearance will unfortunately always be there. I will say however before they started too spit, scars were white and almost unnoticeable.
I just wanted to note with women inquiring about breastfeeding, I have stopped feeding since January 2015 and I still produce colostrum in both nipples. So having an invasive surgical, under the muscle has not disrupted the milk ducts production.

2months post op
So much has happened since my one month post op review.
I've had four internal dissolvable stitches prutrude through my incision sites. Scary at first, but I clipped them off and they would leave a tiny hole and eventually scab over. I can see dark spots through the incision sites, where I suspect more sutures will be spitting out.
I sleep on my side most nights, I wake up slightly tender, but the discomfort very quickly disappears. I have aswell slept with no bras some nights, which feel really great. I have no idea if I am NOT suppose to do this.
Awhile back i was sitting on the floor and without thought, put all weight on my left arm and lifted myself off the ground. I was certain I busted my implant. It felt displaced, tender, very uncomfortable and warm. I finally was able to get a hold of my clinic and spoke with Lori Pollock my surgeons in clinic consultation nurse, and was very disgusted with her professionalism and service. It was that 10minute conversation that had me disappointed with her care and regard of out of town patients follow up post op updates. I paid over $8000 for the surgery, not including my $4000 for airline tickets for my husband to aid me after surgery to have her joke and speak to me with, "meh attitude" . I was so disappointed that I was calling other clinics to take over my follow ups, to no avail. However when I re-book my check up with Dr.bendago in the spring, I will ask the front staff to go directly to the surgeon, as I am not spending all that money to speak with her. I am certain I have a slight bottoming out on my left bust, as my nipple measurements indicated preop that my left nipple was one cm lower then my right. And as of now they look pretty symetrical. The incision has slightly lifted aswell. My nipple location looks like they are in my upper pole region, and I feel like when I lifted myself up I pushed so hard down on my pocket that it tore. And that's just my internet research thougths.
As per my implants, I feel as if all the swelling has subsided, I even see a difference in size since my one month pictures. Smaller then before. They are extremely soft to the touch, they jiggle and move very natural, I can even push them together and form cleavage for the first time in my life.
I find when I try to work out or run that my incision sites become irritated and red and puffy. I do not know if this is normal aswell, but I have reduced my working out.
I can lifted my 30 pound princess quite comfortably now, just not for extended periods of times as I still do not want to strain anything.
All in all I'm happy with the results, maybe slightly sad In regards to the swelling subsiding and making them a tad bit smaller then expected. I bought an awesome trianglr brand neoprene bathing suit, size medium. Which indicates cup size c on their website. And the cups are almost an inch too small on the sides, and my nipples are at the top black stitching in the busts, which also tells me I have slight bottoming out. So I have no idea what cup size I actually am I guess.
Also wanted to note. I found the bathing suit tops I posted in my very first review of my before images while vacationing. And tried them on for comparison, I've added those pictures for an after assessment.

Provider Review
Dr. Mansour Bendago
Clinic was slightly hectic, and his patient coordinator was very Slow at returning emails and answering questions, not as professional as I would expect a nurse to be. Dr. Bendago was patient, calm and I felt very relaxed around him. Procedure was fast, recovery was easy. And started massaging three days post op. Shout out to the front desk, always smiling, and gave me more information then the consultation nurse. The Manager was truly amazing as well, and returned my calls immediately after surgery. Very much appreciated :)
