Hi Realsealf, so Ive tried staying off this for the past week, Ive been finding myself wandering this website like a drone, getting caught up in comparing my results to other girls on this site, and I constantly have to remind myself how different everybody's bodies and lifestyles are, envy is such a dangerous emotion. Im happy for everybody who's had amazing results to say the least, and for the females that have allowed a BA to motivate them to exercise reaching their goal body.

Im unsure about exercising right now. I am used to olympic lifting, which of course I am unable to do for at least another couple months. So when Im at the gym Im only doing accessory exercises, squatting on the smith machine etc.

What sort of exercises are you guys performing in the gym 5 weeks post op?

Ive also gotten back on my bike, not on any sort of crazy excursions bc Ive found that Im getting winded / out of breath / an increased heart rate compared to before my surgery. Bluhh Im sort of scared that this might encourage capsule contracture.

I am also contemplating deleting my account on this website. I don't think that it is no longer beneficial to watch other females progressions as everyone heals at different rates, and it might be driving me slightly crazy wondering why my implants aren't dropping and other girls are. On the other hand I created this blog in hopes that someone pre op or contemplating getting a BA can gain something from reading my review and browsing through my photos. But Im not too sure if it has helped anyone though.

I attached a photo of my tiny invisible incision marks under my arms

I hope you don't delete this review! (And you can always disable email notifications to prevent you from wandering back. ;-) ) I found your review full of information and insight that would be so helpful to so many people researching or going through the BA process. As far as you not progressing as fast as you'd like, you should reference one of your older posts about smaller implants dropping slower. Also, "virgin" boobs (no pregnancy/breastfeeding), under muscle and on and on. The whole dropping process is tedious and painful for those of us with little patience (*raises hand!*). I've found that finding others with similar sized implants who are further out helps me to calm down; I can see what lies ahead and don't drive myself mad. Also, it's so much more mental than physical. I was fully prepared for the pain and what I'd be limited in, but I wasn't ready for the emotional roller coaster ride. It's exhausting! Anyway, I think you're healing fabulously and I hope you keep your review up. :-)

Thank you! You just made me smile, Im happy that you found insight in my review. And yes! I agree I try and invest more energy paying attention to people who had gotten similar sized implants, people who're easier to relate to.. doesn't seem like there's many people who go smaller then 350cc!

Thanks! Oh and are you massaging? I felt like mine started dropping more once I started aggressively massaging. Or maybe it was just a time thing. :-)

No! my surgeon didn't give me any instructions for massaging! Only the band, I wear the band every night when I sleep, and when Im just lounging around my house, slowly but surely they're dropping :p

I have a BA booked on Feb25th. I am the same height and weight as you. I appreciate that you shared your details and photos. I am interested in a modest augmentation however I'm not sure what that even means...my surgeon suggested that I might feel "too busty" with 275ccs. I think you look beautiful and I value that you shared your results as your pics provide a point of reference for those of us who share similar dimensions. Thank you for your updates (and you write beautifully!).

Thank you! As an aspiring journalist that compliment means wonders to me. If you tried on the sizers they will look a lot more 'busty' then surgery will show. Although it does depend on what type of profile implant you get, I don't know if you're aware of this term, it just refers to the projection of the implant. For example I got medium profile, so my boobs are pretty squishy and (as they are drop and fluffing) they look more natural then a 'medium plus profile' or a 'high profile' (HP) implant. I had written earlier how my new boobs are really versatile, thats because theres a decent amount of 'boob' there, more then a handful, but when I wear a sports bra they do look considerably smaller then when Im naked (because they're squished down, opposed to being very projectile). In my opinion, this is awesome because I can be modest at the gym or school or around my parents, but once I put any sort of real bra on I have the ability to make them look massive. That being said medium profile still allows them to be realistically perky without a bra (not over [RS bleep] star round and in your face as I assume 'high profile' would make them appear). Honestly, I wouldn't recommend going less then 275 cc, you might be disappointed, once you have a bit of boob it really make you feel a lot sexier and confident even if you're not showing them off, and almost always, having that new bit of boob only makes you want more .. boob greed haha. Good luck on your surgery and I hope this helps!

Very good review and thank you for sharing. Your advice and lessons learnt I think need to be published. It's now summer and reading this six months after you posted shows that it's helping people. I'm taking the missus to Korea for her procedure and your notes are very helpful. Btw, you look gorgeous and I think there are more girls out there who want to keep a natural line like you and could use the support. Well done.

I like my boobs and surgeon more and more everyday

courtstrath
The more I read other peoples reviews, I realize that pessimism in the beginning of this whole procedure is almost innate! The first 2 weeks after my surgery I tried to justify not being completely happy ("its my surgeon, its my implant size, I should've gone over the muscle!"). But in all honesty I realize now that, that was just a fury of negative emotions brought on possibly from this sudden change in my body, or from being immobile and not being able to ride my bike or go to the gym. Maybe it was anger towards my family as I only stayed at my parents house 2 days post op, after then I came home to my studio, and as immobile and in pain as I was, somehow survived by myself.

I guess in comparison to some other peoples reviews my surgeon has been great. He gave me his number and told me that I was able to call him at any time if I felt something was wrong. I've already seen him twice since the procedure (Im 24 days post) and have another appointment booked in 2 and a half weeks to see him again for a check up. Also, our first consultation was over an hour where I realize now, he actually showed how fankenboob I was going to look for the first few weeks after surgery, (which Im assuming my excitement for new boobs probably dwarfed).

Also, my slight anger towards not going bigger has ceased. Prior to my surgery I would look at girls in my gym who had gotten implants and for those who had gotten what Id guess is 350cc+, Id think although big breasts are nice to look at, there is an underlying 'I like attention' or maybe its a 'I hold sexuality in high regard' message. Something I didn't want to portray. Also, when I strut across the room or hop down the stairs Im like 'ow ow ow ow' the weight of them bouncing up and down hurts! Even when I bend over in yoga my implants follow gravity and push against my skin, I have to hold them as if they're going to fall out of my skin. My friends are like 'stop grabbing your boobs' but Im just holding them down!) I can't imagine the pain of them if they were much bigger. And lastly, one reason why I chose smaller implants was to imitate the look of such females I've seen in [RS bleep] (everyone watches it, and Im sure has boob envy of someone they've seen). I prefer the appearance of a full round chest, maybe I associate it with some sort of innocent youthfulness. And I assume the smaller the implants you chose the slower gravity takes over?
* * * * * * *
Anyone experiencing boob greed or contemplating what size to chose definitely consider all of these factors. It seems that boob greed is so common. Its like we see females in comics and such and think that massive round breasts is what we need for a feminine body, or maybe its what we think other people need to see on us to view us as feminine, or sexually appealing. Its easy to get caught up in those thoughts (especially when we have the opportunity to chose any boob size wed like) opposed to functionality or even just appreciating our own bodies without comparing them to lets say someone else we've seen on this site or someone exploited in pop culture.

Happy unboob greed everybody!

Great to hear you are feeling more positive about everything :). I love this post! You brought up so many good points. You're right, you hear so much about "boob greed".. I have even seen women on this site say that everyone wishes they went bigger.. umm speak for yourself I certainly don't! Not saying that I regret the size I have but there are moments when trying on certain clothing that I think smaller would have looked nicer. I needed a little more volume to balance out my curves and get back to my pre pregnancy size though. Seems like women get so caught up in sizing and this strange "the bigger the better" mentality and don't stop to think about all the things you just mentioned, especially the long term effects that gravity will have on large heavy implants!!

Your breasts look amazing! I'm 2 days post-op with the same PS - I could tell from your review exactly who you were talking about. He strongly encouraged me to choose a smaller implant so I went 300cc even though he said 325cc would be the biggest he'd feel comfortable inserting because of my frame. (5'6, 122 lbs.. Zeroooooo breast tissue) I'm trying not to look at mine too much because it is so early and I'm prone to over-thinking things but I'm super happy with my choice to go with him. He really does beautiful work.

Wow, thank you soo much for sharing your thoughts and feelings here. I haven't had mine done yet but you're so right, it's so easy to get caught up in thinking bigger is better. I have yet to go to my consult, (next month,) but you have definitely given me food for thought. I also wanted to say thank you for deciding to go through with posting your review even though you normally aren't a fan of forums. You add a lot of good insight & are extremely smart/ helpful. On top of that, you are gorgeous...you appear natural, feminine & sexy! I would say you chose the perfect size for your body! ( : As an aside..although we do this for US & no one else, for what it's worth..According to many guys I know, it's not simply large breasts that attract them. The proportion of breasts to body, is where it's at. You nailed that one, lol!! Anyhow, congrats on your progress & thank you again for sharing!
