Not really much change. I am a 34 A. According to VS. Its a more common size in the Pink section. So my bras are cheaper. Keeping pain under way with Hydrocodone and 600 mg of Ibuprofen 2 hours later.

Girl...you have had some dramatic changes and soooo quickly! I just had mine out 5 days ago, and I still haven’t seen any fluff. I’m sad.....I mean they are sad!!!! Good luck on the rest of your healing. You look pretty Awsome so far.
April 25, 2018
Thanks for the encouragement. Wishing you the fluffiest of fluff! Hope you re healing well!

You’ll be fine!!! It just takes time and being patient. I’ve broken down a couple times too, but I’m praying a lot. Asking for forgiveness for trying to change what G D have us in the first place, then asking to please put it back the way it was . It’s the real you now, so ya have to just accept it and be happy with Yourself, cause I think that’s the bottom line. I’m sorry....didn’t mean to say so much but you’ll be fine, I know ya will. And me too, I hope. It takes a couple weeks sometimes for the anesthesia and other meds to get out of your system and that causes us to feel differently. It’s a traumatic thing to go through, at least it is for me, but I’m just going to take it day by day and see what happens... it’ll all be good

Omg pls remember, whenever tempted to go through more surgery, to look back on the pics of your progress from day 1 to now. It’s UNBELIEVABLE. I genuinely don’t personally see ANY issue with size, btw. Obviously that’s a personal thing that can’t/shouldn’t have to be explained so you do you, as they say. To me, shape just goes a longer way — BUT even that isn’t a problem for you from where I stand. Seems like time, healing, and improved health will absolutely take care of everything for you as it’s been doing. You look beautiful and attractive, not JUST natural. I was convinced to do implants when I should have stood my ground for a lift only (preg took large b/c’s to G from 1st trimester and nursing just did me in) and now I face all the issues you did (plus 40lbs gained out of NOWHERE!!!?!?!). Wish I was in your shoes but it has to wait. Don’t doubt yourself. You did what you needed then and now you’ve done what you need now, and you’re lucky enough to have your chest as beautiful as the heart inside it to boot. Feel free to focus on healing. It’s clearly doing its job and then some.

I must say I was almost led to tears with your genuine encouragement. Sometimes I get carried away in the perfection of it all. I almost so sternly it scares me;) tell myself directly looking at myself in the eyes... positive affirmations “You are an amazing courageous woman, you knew the cost and you gave your children the best start in life you possibly could, You have 4 children who love you, these are your warrior wounds, you are strong and brave.” Sounds silly but when I’m hitting my sorrow moments it sets me straight. I’m glad you have time to do it right. The time is always valuable to sort out all of the odds and ends. I never loose my baby weight until my babies are 1-2 years old. I’m not sure if you have or are planning on more babies but I would see if you can still nurse after a lift. It sounds like you may be interested in that. THANK YOU for your support. Please post your story and inbox me when you make a move. Prayers for all your efforts to be blessed!

Hey lady! I hear ya. When we bother doing nips and snips at all, we obviously want to make the most of it but that can easily spiral and bite us in the “should I get this thing lifted too” butt! Here’s a tip - set your standards by what you’d hope your DAUGHTER would be happy with - period. You’d be surprised how much finality and confidence (and grounded ness) this provides. As for me, yeah, done with the one kid. Pregnancy did a major medical number on me and I was advised to stop at one if I intended on being able to raise her at 100% capacity and I listened. That’s ok tho - I got the exact one I needed (wish i could have offered her sublings tho). I’d say cosmetic-based lifts are better done when kids are tho, right? When funds gather I certainly will inaugurate THAT fun (yeah, right) journey with a removal and consider posting a story about it. I’ll be sure to tap you then. Keep your chin up and your obsessing low - it’ll promote the healing!

You look fantastic! I hope you are in good spirits and feeling better all the time! Its been awhile since you updated & I would love to how you’re progressing & if your health has improved?? Did you have en bloc/complete capsulectomy? Hugs!
July 12, 2018
I did have en bloc. My hands tingling has gone down majorly. Also the back pain. Way different! Improved overall. Feel the occasional tired. But overall health is better. Yeast infection still lingers. Probably tmi! Hug to you too! Hope your journey is blessed. I’m still looking into a fat transfer in the future.
July 12, 2018
Oh something fantastic... My voice is stronger! I can sing louder! 0 push-ups to 7!
July 12, 2018
That’s all so awesome!! :)) Does she provide photos of en bloc, give implants back and does she send to pathology? Thanks for your feedback!
July 14, 2018
The implants are given back as an option and the tissue samples are sent to pathology. I wanted to confirm the implant related cancer was not present for my well-being. I no longer obsessively look into breast plant illness. Started my whole family on juice plus gummies and all of us have maintained good health. My eyes don’t itch at all anymore forgot about that! Oh, and because my boobs are not so hot, I would really preparing your significant other. Work him up in the health. Get him on your side vs. the esthetic side. I went in knowing I had very little breast tissue. Myself and husband are still in a shock wave intimately about the “girls” however they prepare me for how my skin will look when I’m 99! Bahahahaha! They my face look plump as baby skin in comparison. Ive learned to have a sense of humor it helps. Still the story goes on, I will post my fat transfer and possible mini lift in the future.

Just taking it day by day. Any suggestions on how to fluff our gals naturally? Right drain came out on its own. Alternating Tylenol and Ibuprofen. Took a shower and got bandages wet. Tried to blow dry them as prescribed but that didn’t work. So gently peeled away the bandages. Don’t regret it at all yet! The stitches look AMAZING!!!!!!

i am wanting to take out mt implants... i have had them since i was 19 and I am now 35 with 3 children. i hope you keep posting updates! i have understood about 6 months after they start filling in.
April 24, 2018
Oh ok,6 months. Thank you:) So I will admit to having my cry in the shower moments. Thank God I had some oxycodone from the birth of my 2 year old. The Tramadol mixed with Lorazapam was not a good mix for me. I nearly gulped down an entire bottle of children’s liquid ibuprofen in ones day. I was in refusal mode that I didn’t need it. My drain on the right fell out on its own. The left drain was removed today and sharp pains came hours later. My kids cry because they want mommy to hold them. My 5 year old told me I look like I had flat bread on my chest. So despite the health physically their are mental aspects that make this challenging. Fortunately my biblical beliefs comfort me. Have a strong support system. That no one has recommended yet. Pray and I think I’m weak moments of the physical aspects effecting the mental.... I’d have written a list of reasons why in a jar..pull one out when needed. I will keep updating. No major changes yet. Pooh! Lol
April 26, 2018
Wow! Looks like they fluffed in two days! They’re going to be nice, hope mine start the fluffing, I’m on day 8. I’m still happy I did it.... only wish I didn’t wait 18 yrs! Thank this site and everyone on it for helping me with my decision. Just reading everyone’s story and their pics before and after is really helpful. Hugs

I’m in the same boat, trying to fluff the girls after my explant surgery 3weeks ago. Not sure what to do either…..but so glad the implants are out!! I can’t describe why I feel better, but I just do. Now a 34 A or double A
