Well, well, well .. Now that I'm all healed I haven't updated at all ! I've just been living life and enjoying my body :) I'm 100% back to my old self, working out, running, ect ... I do it all ! Having my boobs done has done nothing but make me more confident. My boyfriend is happy I am happy, I know he likes them too ! I feel confident wearing cute dresses even some without a bra so there aren't any awkward bra straps. But generally I wear exactly what I used to, it all just looks better. I think I chose the perfect size for my body. If I'm not wearing something revealing no one can even tell. Please ask me any questions !! I was SO nervous going into this and this website helped me a ton.

I have question for you. I had mine done 6 weeks ago. I got 310cc silicone under the muscle. They look great and have dropped and settled. My question is how long do they continue to soften? Mine are very soft on the outside of my boobs and the underside too. But I really hope they will soften more in the cleavage area. I think being under the muscle I'm feeling my muscles there and they obviously aren't as soft as the implant. Don't get me wrong if I lean forward or round my back they are very soft everywhere, it's when I'm standing up strait or laying on my back that they feel firmer than I like. Anyway now that I've rambled on for awhile I just want to know if they will eventually feel close to real boobs no matter what position I'm in?

Over a month ! Almost 5 weeks :)
Time has been flying!! Can't believe it's been almost 5 weeks and it's almost CHRISTMAS! Woohoo! Anyways, a little update, I am very comfortable with my boobies! I just started going to the gym a couple days ago. It felt SO good to not feel like a little boy in a sports bra! Haha I did cardio (the stair master, no running yet) some arms and lower body. No pain at all in my chest. I noticed I don't mind sleeping on my back now and it's not painful to roll over to my side sometimes like it used to be. I bought a couple underwire bras. They aren't SUPER comfy like my sports bras lol but I'm slowly but surely trying to get used to them again! I went to Victoria's Secret of course and ended up with a 36D.
I only have ONE concern. My left boob has been my troublesome boob since day one. It's always felt tighter, it was harder to get movement back in my left arm and the stitches even looked worse in the left arm pit. I've been fortunate that even with these "troubles" it's been a VERY smooth recovery. But now my left boob isn't dropping like the right. I'm trying to be patient. I was just wondering if anyone else had this issue even at week 5?? Im completely content with my decision even if my lefty is stubborn! I've been told to start massaging it and when I push it down you can see the pocket is lower like my right, but once I stop pushing it pops back up. Im just going to keep massaging and being patient :) I know no matter what I'm 100x happier today with my boobs than I was before surgery! Im so lucky to have the chance to make myself feel more confident!
I hope everyone else is healing up and feeling good! Happy holidays everyone!

Hi beautiful, you look great!! Isn't it the best feeling to get back into the gym?! I definitely am feeling my leg workouts for a couple days after but I will be honest I did not go back into it lightly (for the lower body lol
I can see what you are saying about the dropping, just remember that you got pretty big implants! It takes them a lot longer to drop from my understanding. Another thing I think I have read is that the arm pit placement implants are also a bit higher so will take longer to drop but I could be wrong, I went IMF! You look great even with the slight discrepancy, and I am sure that by 6 months it will have sorted itself out :) the massaging should definitely make a difference! Happy Holidays to you too!

Thanks for your input girl! I read your post and I feel the same way! You have to be realistic when you get this done :) I took it easy at the gym and I'm still a little sore haha I think I would have died if I really went for it. I'm glad things are going well for you though! I'm just glad the hardest part is in the past. Feels like it was forever ago that I was on the couch in pain lol
December 16, 2015
Right?! I feel like when I first got the idea of getting implants I wanted them to be perfect if I was putting 7k into them!! But after actually realizing that it isnt something a doctor could fix, as genius as he is... It just works out better lol I know! I can't believe it has been 6 weeks since we woke up asking about the size and taking pain meds to make it through the day. Before we know it we will be at 3 months!! Have an awesome time getting back in to working out, I actually love the sore feeling and with working out so much it kind of dissipates, so not working out for 5 weeks has totally brought the feeling back lol

Hi :) your results are absolutely stunning, and they look wonderful on you. I'm curious if you really did end up going with 500 cc's? They seem small to me, and yet perfectly fit you! If it IS 500 cc's, that's likely what I'd be requesting at my pre-op. Let me know if you get a chance, I can only hope my results will be as nice as yours! So crazy how height difference can change the look of a larger implant, isn't it?
December 29, 2015
Thank you so much!! I did end up with 500cc! I know, I think they seem smaller than a lot of other girls with the same size. I love them though. I look at them and feel great! I'm glad even though they seem a little smaller, I haven't felt boob greed! I'm wondering if with time they will continue to drop/fluff and look bigger?? It's only been less than 2 months so I'm sure a lot can still happen. But I love that I haven't had to tell anyone who I don't think needs to know. No one can tell I've had surgery since my old bras were extra thick padding, so I almost look the same with clothes on! :) I have a feeling once summer time hits they might be a little confused when I wear something more revealing than a hoodie haha! I'm excited for you to join the big boobie club! If you have ANY questions just ask! This site has been sooooo helpful!

You're making me want 500's in the worst way!!! They're amazing. With very similar height and weight I can't help but wonder if I could pull them off the same way! I will certainly be asking more questions in the near future ;) thank you! They're definitely full tho, no need for that greed! Lol.

Hi girl, did your left boob ever drop? My friend just got implants with Dr. Mangubat and I'm considering him as well, are you still happy with them?
March 21, 2016
My left boob hasn't completely dropped still.. If I squeeze it you can tell the pocket is in the right place, I just need to get it down there ! I just got back from Mexico and honestly it didn't bother me one bit.. I'm trying to be more persistent about wearing the strap over one boob so it'll even out. I was pretty happy with my experience at Dr Mangubat. His staff is really friendly and the lady (I can't remember her name) that does a lot of the work for him is super helpful ! If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask me :) sorry it took me so long to respond !

(Almost) 3 week anniversary!
Tomorrow is 3 weeks! :) everything has been going really well! They feel more and more like me every day! I'm still doing just fine at work. I'm soooooo thankful work hasn't been hard because the day before thanksgiving was SO busy and I was moving around like crazy and busting my ass. But no booby pain! Every couple mornings I do wake up with morning boob. Once they wake up after a minute or two I'm good to go. My boobs are ultra sensitive (which is better than having no feeling)! As always, I'm feeling better and better every day! They get a little softer and giggle a little more every few days :)
I'm going to Mexico in March! I can't wait to see how they look then! Yayyy! Hope everyone else is healing up well!

You look fantastic! You must feel so great. I had my surgery this morning, and we are going to jamaica in march and it's all i can think about, so exciting!!
December 4, 2015
Looking good!! Your incisions are looking fantastic actually :) that's awesome that you had a good time at work even if it was busy! You're awesome lol I had a hard time at my freaking office job!
December 4, 2015
Thank you!! I was really nervous to go through the arm pit since mostly everyone goes under the boob but it was actually a lot easier than I thought and they've been healing well. It sucked not being able to shave for a few weeks! Totally grossed me out haha
December 4, 2015
I wonder if you would be able to do laser? I have done 5 treatments and there's like ZERO hair! I'd wait quite a while if I were you but its totally something to consider :) I am so happy with it
December 4, 2015
Your incisions are healing up great! And your boobs are looking awesome! Glad to know that you are doing good at work. I use my arms a lot at work so I'm super worried about that!
Glad you have been loving your body and loving the ladies. They look fantastic and you should love them!
