My journey at 6mths post!

WORTH IT$9,200
Im kind of late posting on my 6mth appointment but once you are far enough along and not scrutinizing your boobs 24/7, you really do forget about them! Lol. 
So I had my 6mth appointment mid Aug and hit 6mths on Aug 26.  The doctor said everything was looking great.  I personally think they look quite small and it doesnt look like I have 415cc, so that just goes to show that you will never know how they will end up until its all done.  I thought by looking at hundreds of pictures and comparing to people that were roughly my size, that I knew how mine would turn out.....far from the truth!  Even the nurse who took my picture came in and was like "oh so whatd you get? You went with the 345 or 365s????"  And I was like "No I got 415cc!"  And she said...."Ya I guess you can never really tell and you must have had little to no breast tissue."  So to everyone.....dont get hung up on the number.  If you get the same exact implant as someone on here because you like their pictures....chances are that yours will not look the same whatsoever and you won't even end up with the same bra size!  Its confusing but thats just how it is lol.
So at 6mths I still have a weird sensation under my breasts where the incisions are.  The skin still feels numb but then it also kind of gives off an irritating painful feeling as well.  Same as my nipples.  I do not like either areas touched!  This was my main concern when seeing my doctor and he said that the nerves are the longest part of the process to heal and it could take up to 1 to 1 1/2 years.  Fingers crossed everything does go back to normal.  I was really worried about not having the same sensation in my nipples after this whole process and so far that is the most upsetting thing to get used to.
Looking back I think I would have been happier with the moderate profile instead of the high profile, which at the time I knew, but went with what my hubby wanted.  I like a more "hangy" and "droopy" boob with very round lower pole if that makes sense.  However with that said....I would have been upset to get anything less than 415cc because they are quite small and the largest moderate profile I could get was only 345cc.  So I guess you have to compromise somewhere!
I do love having boobs though.  Its great having more shape and being able to fill in shirts.  However now the button up shirts are a little difficult to wear lol.  I just wish they werent as far apart and I didnt have to work so much to get cleavage.  I have to wear a really big pushup bra for any sort of cleavage....but I guess before surgery even if I did that I still didnt have cleavage, so should be blessed with what I have now!  Its hard to go through this and not have high expectations for perfection.  You really cant expect perfect breasts.  Does that even exist????  What is perfect to someone, isnt perfect to the next, so just work with what you have and try not to dwell! 
I had a trip to Mexico over the summer and it felt great to wear bikinis and not be jealous over every female with boobs because I actually have my own! Lol.  And I have an upcoming trip to Vegas in Feb so Im already stock piling my wardrobe with some sexy tops!

They look great! I had Dr E as well - love him! I wish I went a little bigger but really I won't worry about that too much. Where did you get that bra in the last pic - looks super comfy. Love how it comes down quite low. BTW love the blond too!

Oops accidentally replied to the whole thread.....

Thank you! You look great too! Yours are nice and close together...you will have awesome cleavage!! Super jealous. Lol.
The bra was from Victoria Secret. I think it was one of their wireless lounge bras, but it was push up. It is super comfy and gives some nice oomph for those date nights or nights out lol.

Hi, Oilymomma! It is so nice to see another update from you! You look fantastic! I think the HP was a good fit for you after all, especially since it let you increase the cc's. It's pretty amazing how some bodies just eat up the ccs and some don't. I so agree with you about high expectations for perfection and learning how to love and work with what you have. You really do have an awesome results. I'm so happy for you that you are really enjoying them. xoxo

Hey!! Thank you so much! You look fantastic as well. Hard to believe we are this far along now, eh? I remember the early stages, and it felt like time was never going to pass. We both have come a long way! Glad you are enjoying yours as well!

I know we all want perfection & your so right - there is no such thing I struggle myself with that Guess my expectations were high! Lol But I do love my boobs more & more as they continue to drop & fluff & heal! Have a Great time in Las Vegas!!

Hey, no problem and thank you very much!
I hope I get the sensation back in my nipples too! Its so frustrating, esp for my hubby because that was his little trick and now I'm like, "Ok, well just stop because I don't feel a thing" Lol.
I found I had a lot of dropping after 2mths so you will see big changes very soon! I hope you continue to heal nicely!

Also wanted to ask So at 6 months are you still a 32 DD in bras?
User Avatar
September 27, 2016
VS bras in 32DD fit very nicely, except for the push up....I think possibly I may be a size bigger in those ones because I find the cup doesn't fully cover and my nipples start to pop out throughout the day when I'm moving around. Some other brands I fit in to 32D....so it really varies lol.

Ok thanks! Good to know! Have A Great Day!!
September 21, 2016
Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! I wish I could go 400 again, but I and my surgeon, are highly doubting it. Oh well, better than what I have now. You should be so happy...such a beautiful result!

September 27, 2016
Aww thank you.
I'm sorry to hear about your journey so far. But your new surgery is coming up fast!!! What size do you think you will be able to go with? Good luck with everything and I hope you get the results you want.
September 27, 2016

I just want to thank you for sharing your journey & pictures
It's so helpful & you really look amazing!! I scheduled surgery for August but different doctors have said different things so it is confusing- to me now I'm second guessing do I really need a lift or could I benefit like you - from the size you went for and lowering the fold a little? I just hope mine will turn out as beautiful as yours!!! Thanks!!

Aw thank you! It can be very confusing to know which route to go. I only met with one doctor so I didn't have conflicting ideas.....but choosing between sizes was hard enough for me! Lol. So I can't imagine how you feel. All you can do is go with your gut and choose the doctor who you think will do the best job. Good luck with everything!
July 18, 2016
Corey8 I haven't read your review yet but I was really devastated when the surgeon told me I needed a lift but now I am so glad I went ahead and did it.

So question, was the pain worth it? Would you do it all over again?
User Avatar
July 20, 2016
I won't lie....the pain was brutal. There were times I didn't think Id make it through. BUT I had a breast crease lowered, which I believe was the reason for the longer recovery. I think the nurse said that I had internal stitches attached to my ribs! The first 9 days I didn't leave my house and couldn't stand for longer than 1minute without excrutiating pain. BUT Ive read many many reviews where girls barely experience any pain and are good to go by day 3 and barely had any trouble! I think if you have straight forward BA you will be just fine. I am glad I did it, because I love having boobs. Dressing is so much more fun and have way more confidence. I just really really hope that I never need a revision or to replace them though. I'll go to the grave with theses babies lol.

A few weeks ago I was able to make it over to the States and not only did I find a Victorias Secret, but it was their semi annual sale! I couldnt pass up $14.99-$19.99 bras!! Even though the conversion isnt all that great right now, I know I got a great deal! I ended up with 8 bras! A little bit of everything and all were 32DD.
Going over my profile I noticed I don't have many bra pics, so here we go! I'm 4mths post op now. Size is still smaller than I envisioned so I like a good pushup/underwire especially the VS Very Sexy front closure. You all have to buy that!

Gosh, it must be so much fun! I'm just five days post op and I'm still in the land of high, swollen to the max and tight and OMG what did I do?!?! Lol
User Avatar
June 29, 2016
That part sometimes feels like it will never end!!! I remember the time I could only fit one finger width between my collarbone and the top of the implant! I thought they would never drop. But now its like my whole hand that can fit, so that phase WILL pass. The hardest part is waiting and wondering.
June 29, 2016
Thanks so much for the encouragement. Tomorrow is one week and this has seemed like the longest week ever. I am so over being sore and tired and swollen. But it helps to keep my eyes on the end goal and reviews like yours help, especially.

Great Deals!!!
I'm considering getting BA - would you change anything? Are you happy with the size you choose?
You really look Great!! :-)
There are lots of decisions - which u know lol
Thanks again for sharing
User Avatar
June 29, 2016
Good luck with your decision. I am happy with the size I chose, as I would have been upset to go any smaller. 415cc was the largest I could go, so Im happy I went with it because they ended up a lot smaller than I imagined. Sometimes it hard to even make aware I have boobs under my clothes! The sizers seemed enormous!! My boobs definitely didnt end up like that at all. The only thing I am pondering about is what it would have looked like going with a different profile. I went with high profile and I think I migjt have liked moderate better, however that would have been a way smaller cc, so its really hard to say!

I'm also 32DD in VS. How perfect you got to shop on there sale and actually have options to choose from lol. That size apparently popular where I'm living cause the styles I like are always gone! :P I'm also hoping I get feeling in the lower part of my breasts, it's pretty growse feeling. I think you turned out beautifully!!! They compliment your frame well
User Avatar
July 2, 2016
Yes normally I don't have much luck finding the 32DD either. So when I saw a whole bin full of them I just went crazy lol. I probably shouldn't have bought that many but ah well!
The feeling is definitely gross. I don't like it at all. Thats definitely been the big downside of the BA so far. I'm wondering if I had done a nipple or armpit incision if I wouldn't have had this weird feeling.
Thank you for your kind words!
