about 2 years later and Perfect Boobs!

I have no scar, the under muscle incisions are paper thin white 1.5" lines above my boob crease and the scars are invisible. See the picture.

While I still think I went too big, I have to say that these are perfect for my size, look great, and feel great. In every way.

I stopped chest exercises post op and never went back! I am too scared to do anything more than a few chin ups and avoid bench pressing now, for fear that my pectoral muscles will pull the implants towards my arm pits. They are perfectly positioned and I want them to stay that way.

They bounce now. But still defy gravity, look natural, and every woman I've met thinks they are. If I share that they are implants they are stunned.

More complements than you can imagine... more than I ever imagined. All polite and appropriate (according to the activity, such as in costume at a social event and a woman privately compliments me on my physique or asks how my boobage looks so good). Most of the time I just say it's all about how you kinseotape the girls up under a costume. They all believe it.

I'm sure that later in life I will go down in size with another surgery, but for now, I'm enjoying these perfect breasts and so very happy I did this surgery.

11 months post op

Wow. These things defy gravity, are perfectly shaped, get me so much attention. Worth every penny.

The .4 inch incision scars are invisible now. I can't even feel them, they are smooth and feel just like my normal skin. My boobs would not be able to hold a pencil under them. I asked the PS about that (when will the drop?) he said naturally over time they will, but my muscles and the capsule my body has formed around the implants are tight.

I also asked when will they bounce? They jiggle a bit and are very soft and natural feeling, but do not bounce. I can jump up and down and they just don't bounce. PS asked, "did you want a bounce?" I said that not really, but I do want to know if they will eventually bounce and act more like a normal boob. He said, yes, with time and gravity.

Okay. Everything looks great. They are perfectly round, centered, and give amazing cleavage. Pushing them together is cool. Letting them free under a leotard with no support, way cool. I got the Amy Adams boob clevage I always wanted. Check out the picture! I have side boob too. I went dancing and wore this, with silver chest body paint. So many complements! More women complemented me than men. Crazy. But they were all positive, it was like a girl power thing.

I've ended up with DDD boobs and they look amazing. They only dropped one cup size after surgery. It took about 8 months before the square boobs disappeared completely.

I lift heavy and move with no problem. The only problem I encounter now is dancers who hate on me. Most women and all men don't. Ladies, get them. They are worth it.

7 months post op - burning? pain?

http://www.realself.com/review/Breast-implants-Extreme-Pain-3-years-after-breast-augmentation oh wow. scary reviews there.

I'm doing great but have to say my implants are so heavy that they hurt. A burning does happen under the muscle in the implant pocket if I put too much pressure on them or if I'm sleeping on my side with out wearing a bra. I'm hoping that it's just a result of my weight lifting. I recover about 4 - 5 days after heavy chest day workouts to make sure that the muscles and the attachments are all healing up really well.

The breasts look great and my husband and I absolutely love them. While I am very happy I did this, I do wish I had gone slightly smaller. I am a DDD cup and did not intend to be that big. That is over seven times more full than I previously was and I'm still getting used to them.

I absolutely know that people treat me much better with boobs than they did without them. Complete strangers tell me "you're hot" and "gorgeous". I've never had that before and it's totally creepy.

I am happy that I did this because I enjoy dressing up and wearing clothes that make me look like the woman I've always felt like. I am really surprised at how many people in my life react to them, and while most of the attention is fun, the people in my life who matter to me most reacted in a way I never ever imagined; my best friend became distant and treats me like I killed someone, my husband has really enjoyed them far more than he ever did, my parents gush about my beauty, my business peers tell me that I'm in the best shape ever physically...I really had no idea that looks were so f'kn important! What a psychological eye opener! A lot more has happened to me after this BA than I ever thought or planned for.

All good! The Doctor is super mellow, well educated and makes me relax every time I talk with him - steered me the right way and was very polite about everything. Dr. Chike-Obi performs BA, Breast Reconstruction, Breast Reduction, Liposuction and more. I feel like he is very mindful of what would be best for me as well as safe. I do wish he was more explanatory about the specifics of the healing process and exactly what the muscle will do upon recovery. The only answer I've received about the pocket healing is that it will close up, with a lot of rest, and be as good as it was preop. I just couldn't wrap my head around how this big implant will stay put under the muscle, but it does! I'm very inquisitive, (a year post op and this is true - but I followed the strict NO LIFTING for 6 weeks rule he gave me). Two of his nurses explained a lot to me on my 5 week follow up appt. that the Dr. was not at due to a schedule change. The staff accidentally forgot to reschedule me, but handled the mix up pretty well. Considering that they each are a couple of months into BA recovery it was a good mistake. A year later I am ecstatic over my perfect breasts, they defy gravity and he gave me the look I wanted. They look great, are the same size, and I exercise with them with no pain. The 0.4" under boob scar is invisible.
