1 1/2 -ish Year Update, Including Weight Gain
WORTH IT$8,500
Hello my beautiful ladies! It has been nearly a year and a half since my BA, and I have never regretted a single moment. The girls are doing well and are looking incredible.
I thought it might be a good idea to post my experience (and photos in a couple of days) of my implants and how they look with significant weight gain. Being in a PhD program has been kicking my butt, and a lot of stress has come with it. I have gained about 40 pounds since my BA. While the rest of my body looks quite fluffy and not exactly up to my own standards, my breasts have done exceptionally well. I have gone up to a 36DDD, however they still look natural and beautiful. I was concerned about any potential weight gain, yet no concerns now. I am presently in the process of dropping the pounds, and will update when I can so as to show the results of how my breasts change with my body. I am pleased that my breasts did not become awkwardly shaped, and that there have been no abnormalities in my breasts given the dramatic weight gain.

7 1/2 Month Update! Drop and Fluff, Numbness, and Scarring
Hello ladies! It's been quite some time since the last time I've updated! So sorry to have kept some of you waiting!!! Well, Marilyn and Angelina have settled in very very well! I don't even feel the implants themselves anymore. It's weird not being able to sense that they're there...the human body is quite an amazing thing! 7 1/2 months has flown by. I have been loving buying new clothes, bra shopping, and feel more comfortable seeing myself nude. And, despite my 10 pound weight gain due to the lovely holidays, I'm surprisingly not disgusted with myself (I have pretty poor self-esteem to begin with), rather, I see that I still look pretty proportionate, lacking a pear shape and having an hour glass shape, and I'm pretty okay with that. I still want to drop some pounds but I'm not as hard on my self as I used to be. :)
Scarring...
Oh the scarring...ew. So scarring is no fun. Apparently lately over the past year and a half, my body has decided to no longer heal normally, and close up wounds with a small barely visible scar. Now, it's almost as though my body wants to show off any and all battle wounds! Keloids. Ugh. Gross. Ugly. Ugh. Even if it's a minor scratch from my cat. Oy vey. I was crossing my fingers and hoping that my body would decide that keloids had no place on my lovely boobies. Nope. Wrong. It looks awful, but at least the scarring is at the crease. I have been really bad at putting the scar cream on the incision site, so it's likely that if I had been consistent with the cream, I would not have such crazy scarring. I think I'll start it up again. I don't like the scarring, but I know that it will go away in about a year. My weird keloid-ing body un-keloids after several months (odd, I know). Here's hoping that they will be much less visible in the near future!
Numbness...
So I've been having a wee bit of difficulty with my patience. The lower third of my breasts are still relatively numb, however slllooowwwllllyyyy day by day, week by week, the numbing is lessening. I haven't had any numbing issues with my nipples thank goodness. I was aware pre-surgery that there would likely be some nerve damage and that the body sometimes needs a great deal of time to repair/replace the damaged nerves. I was just hoping that I would have healed faster, but oh, well. Interestingly, at times I have some minor short bursts of aches and pains in the areas where I am numb, and with time, those areas gain more feeling and no longer have the aches and pains...apparently that's part of the healing process. Every time I get the ache or pain, I get excited because I know that means I'm getting more feeling back in my breasts! Hopefully we will reach 100% feeling! But I'm still impatient. It's annoying, to be honest. Speaking of which, I'm having some dull pain in my left breast as I type...hello new nerves!
Jiggle! Squish!
They jiggle! And they wiggle! And they bounce! So much fun! And the squishy! So squishy! I did not expect them to look and feel so real! Granted, they are a wee bit firmer than a natural breast, however they are surprisingly natural-feeling! Yay!

Wow!! You look incredible. They fall so naturally too! Very happy for you!! I hope mine look that great once they're done healing! My scars haven't healed the greatest either but I've also had 3 surgeries. My surgeon did mention that the silicone scar sheets have been scientifically proven to help keloid scars. Maybe ask your surgeon about them? Like you said though your scars literally fall exactly in the crease. One of mine does for the most part but not so much for lefty. Anyways this review is super helpful. The highly cohesive implants take so long to heal it is so nice to see someone basically on the other side!! Keep us posted if you find any scar solutions!! Thanks again love! Happy healing :)

Thank you :) You're very kind! I'm sure yours will look positively fabulous. I will ask my PS about the silicone scar sheets...I hope they would work so late in the healing process. I'm glad my review has been helpful to you. Yeah the healing has taken a bit longer than expected but not too bad. I will absolutely keep you all updated re: my scarring! I'll post another photo of them in a few weeks to show any improvement. :)

I just wanted to say that I SO APPRECIATE your reviews and time and photos. Wow. I am 9 days post-op and want to cry daily. They're so big and I need them to drop and fluff as you said. I also have the natrelle implants which is what I searched to find some posts with those types of implants. Your breasts look wonderful 7.5 mos in and I appreciate all the honest comments. Thank you!

11 Weeks 4 Days Post-Op! So Much Has Happened!
So much has happened since my last update, I can't believe it. I ran into a couple of obstacles but everything is great now. I'll put up another post later on today with my progress but for now I just wanted to add an updated picture as of last week :) I've had quite a few compliments on my breasts (I'm not afraid to disclose that I had an augmentation)!

Thank you thank you! I know I said I would post another update but classes started up again and I've been crazy busy!!! On the bright side my girls are doing beautifully! I'll try to post another updated photo by the end of the week :)

September 14, 2016
Awesome! I understand busy!!!! I am doing pretty good. 10 weeks and 4 weeks PO. I had hematoma at 6 weeks and had to have surgery remove implant and put back in. Doing much much better! Glad you are so awesome and lovely!

September 20, 2016

It wasn't really a hematoma. I was having difficulty with the healing, and spit a stitch. It wasn't anything severe but my PS wanted to cover all the bases (I'll put in details later this evening when I get home). The place on the incision where the stitch spit had scabbed up, but the scab came off in the shower. There was a teeny open wound but I decided to play it safe and tell my PS. All is well now :)

I thank god! Yeah, that seemed really late for a hematoma !!
I hope you are still happy!!
I hope you are still happy!!

Just read through your story and your implants settled so nicely. They look just like your wish boobs so hats off to your surgeon! Any more recent updates now that it's around the 6 month mark? Would love to see your progress. I just had surgery with natrelle 410s last week and am impatiently waiting for them to drop and fluff :) yours look significantly softer by even a month out. Gives me hope!!

January 11, 2017
I'll be adding a post today. :) I've been a wee bit lazy! I hope your boobies are doing well!
