Finally allowed to exercise...3 month update

Well I'm finally allowed to exercise..... Who am I kidding, this gym junkie was back at the gym after 6 weeks - I know I'm terrible! But no exercise makes me anxious. I promise I took it easy, just enough to take the edge off ????

Sorry I haven't updated in ages, but I guess I didn't feel like there was much to report. Anatomicals settle differently to rounds, they don't drop much, so in terms of look they haven't changed much after 1 month. But they take way longer to soften and become squishy.

Every few weeks I notice a big increase in softness and squishiness - the photo shows me in the same push up bra after one month and then after three months, you can see they can be pushed closer together now! I'm totally stoked with my new found cleav and I'm hoping this will continue to improve as my muscles relax and the skin stretches.

I also posted a pic from the NZ Sevens - NZs biggest costume party/rugby game - was a great day and my boobs were great - but note the wide cleavage gap - it's great to see this disappearing since then, I feel like they look a lot natral sitting closer together.

Scars - they're ok, one is quite big and lumpy and you can see it side on. It's not ideal, but I don't care that much either. I'm fair skinned and I scar well, so evertually it will be all but invisible.

The other thing I'm adjusting to is my booby dance party trick (animation deformity) - the way my muscle contracts on my boobs when I use my chest muscles. It's truely weird and the only thing that makes me feel fake - I look just like Arnie Schwarzenegger! I had pretty tight well developed pecs to begin with, So i guess it's not surprising I can manipulate the implants so much. Lol it's great for entertaining the BF lol - hilarious!

Overall, they just feel like mine now, I don't think about them as much as I used to and I've really just adjusted to my new look and feel. I'm waaaay less insecure and I feel like I just have one less thing to worry about these days. Verdict - totally worth it x

Dr Glasson was amazing. Very experienced and incredibly precise - everything you could want in a breast surgeon. I felt like I was given a custom fit solution for my somewhat challenging starting point, and I really cannot believe the degree of symmetry and nipple alignment Dr Glasson has managed to achieve with the use of two different implants. If you're not happy with your current breast volume and shape and want more than just 'bigger versions of your current breasts' book in with Dr Glasson.

I was so pleased to find your posts! I am in NZ and got the natrelle soft touch textured anatomical implants 5 weeks ago. My biggest concern has been how firm they feel, but I was pleased to see your photo in the white bra that compares 1 month and 3 months. Im hoping they get softer and my cleavage gap closes because they seem quite far apart. How are yours feeling now?? Im guessing your approx. 9 months down the track?

Hi Amy, congrats on your BA, such an exciting time. At only 5 weeks you're still healing and getting use to your new boobs. I can tell you they do soften up, I remember being worried about the same thing at around the same time. I noticed a big difference around the 3 month mark and then there has been gradual changes since then. I'd say I've got my final results now. While they're not natural boob soft, they look fantastic and I'm really happy with them, my BF (who was very anti BA) loves them too. The white bra is a push up and you can see how they pushed together easier after 3 months. I'd say I still look about the same now as I did at 3months. Feel free to ask more questions. Also, what size did you get? That can make a difference to the feel too. Take care and try not to worry about them xx

Thanks so much for your reply Rach, im a lot less worried about the firmness now! The 4th of November will be my 3 month mark so I will count down until then. haha. I got 360 moderate projection on the right and 375 full projection on the left (under the muscle). I was a bit asymmetrical after breastfeeding my two kids. At the moment they are looking very even which is a good sign :)

I'm so glad I found your review! So far the first one I found here on RS that did the Natrelle 410 soft touch. I'm she du led for the same ones, size somewhere around 400cc, in February and it feels a bit "scarry" to have picked an implant almost no one else is using here (but that's probably because this is a mainly US site).

Anyways. Yours look LOVELY and so natural but still full and wow!
Then looking at your pictures it seems like your started looking normal (no square brick under the skin lok) very fast. Wonder if it had to do with the soft touch or that your body just handled the op in a very good way.

Hope your still happy with them!

its one of my biggest worries, and I'm concerned the risk might be higher with these!!!
THANK YOU!!!!

How do you handle 'The Question'

User Avatar
Rach. M
I had a beautiful day out at the races yesterday! (See pics) Beautiful weather, great company and a new dress especially for my new boobs ;) Thank you Dr Glasson!

I am really pleased with my progress. My boobs are softening up really nicely (who said anatomicals are hard???), the bigger (pre op) boob feels pretty much natural and the smaller one is softening and stretching everyday. Plus, my boob greed, was only temporary - it's gone! Yay-ya!

There is one thing I need advice on though. How do you ladies handle questions about your boobs?

Twice this week I was asked about them and both times I was completely caught short. I didn't know what to say.... So I lied, but even to my ears I sound unconvincing lol! Cringe!

The first instance was a female work colleague I'm quite close to. She asked after a mutual friend spotted me and casually said "Rach has lost weight, but her boobs are way bigger..." lol, snapped! I lied when she asked me, but the "new vitamins" excuse can only get me so far! So I ended up telling her the truth.

The second instance was at the races. Now my boobs look natural in a bra, and they look amazing bra less - too amazing it seems...
When I wear a dress like the one pictured above I don't think you can tell I have implants at first glance. But any woman who spends 30 mins in my presence can see my girls staying perfectly in place despite the barely there bra less dress (no readjustments required!). They soon realise something is up with this girls gravity defying boobs.

Anyway, that's what happened at the races. A girl I had just met eventually asked me "Are your boobs real? They're perfect!" And my response.... A fake confused look, followed by slowly repeating the question, then "Of course they are! Honey, haven't you heard of celebrity tape..."

The lie just popped out. Arrrggghh! It's not like she was being mean or anything! Plus, the worst part was the rest of the people we were with know I've had surgery! So silly!

So girls how do you handle it? What do you say? How do you feel about being asked? I'm sure some of you might suggest I cover up a bit to avoid the attention... But why would I pay all this money just to cover it all up? Keen to get your thoughts xx

Hahahaha I've told people it's just my bra that's why they look big. I haven't gone out with them like in a dress or anything ahhaha but I think I'll stick to the bra excuse lol

Lol I thought that would wok for me too... You can only fool so many people AND if you go bra less it seems you're 'too perfect' boobs stand out a mile away lol

This is a great post! I think you hit the nail on the head (in your NYE post) when you said that you traded one insecurity for another. I hate how negatively breast augmentation is viewed. I'd like to think that if asked (because I know it'll happen), that I would be truthful because I hated my non-boobs and I love what the surgery has done for me. (shrug) I guess I'll find out when it happens! Thanks for posting -- you look great! :-)

Yeah, I'm hoping I'll become more comfortable about it.... I think though everyone's nice to your face about it, but maybe some say nasty things behind your back (read jealousy ;P). I think I'll try and tell the truth in future, I mean it's either "fake titts and honest" or "fake titts and a liar" haha

Even in winter clothing I've been asked the question. I'm in the UK so it's cold and damp I'm covered up. It's usually "you look great"! I tell the truth. There's nothing wrong with making yourself feel better! My 86 year old friend noticed and she said "Good on you". She says I stand up properly now instead of hiding myself. She is so right! Don't for one minute be ashamed! If you are happy it was worth it.

Congrats on your new beautiful boobies!!! I am considering switching to anatomicals. Do you like them? I'm about the same stats and very thin chested and got 325cc & 350cc but I don't have the projection that I would like to have. Would you recommend the teardrop for a natural look?

I remembered when I posted my debut pic on Facebook everyone thought i was pregnant lol You look absolutely amazing and I love that dress!

5 week update

User Avatar
Rach. M
Well it's been nearly 5 weeks since my op and everything's going well.

Recovery is still a little slow. I'm still sore around my incisions, but it's getting better. Nips have gone back to normal sensitivity - thank GOD!!!

They don't look too different to me from the last few weeks, but I know anatomical implants although look about normal right away, take a long time - 6-12months to properly soften and give final results - so it's a waiting game for me.

Re size - the boob greed still rears its ugly head from time to time, but everyone says the look big and I'm crazy lol. I have to admit, the size is good for my body and they look great.

I've realised its kinda to do with the let down of excitement after surgery - the fact that I just look 'normal' now rather than $12k better than everyone else haha. I'm sure this [RS bleep] will pass, because that's all it is!

It's particularly funny how quickly you forget how far you've come since pre-op!! I quick look at pre- op photos fixes that quick smart.

Other than that not much to report. The BF who was originally so against the op now tells me he 'loves them' lol. I love seeing my DD bras in my draw and I can now wear and feel hot in any bikini, dress, top I can get my hands on! It's awesome.

To any one still on the fence about having this op - just do it, if you're anything like me you'll wonder why you waited so long!

Happy to hear you are healing up nicely and things are slowly moving along ;) yes the waiting game can get the better of us, but oh so worth it as you said! Love the white lacey bra!

Yeah I'm def feeling better about my size - I think there's something to be said for subtlety... Some people want a really fake look and that's cool, but I'm not one of them... I also think it's easy to get too obsessed with giant boobs in the realself community...

You look amazing hon!! :) Thanks for the words of encouragement! I am booked in to have my BA in April, and there have been times in the last month where I was really unsure... But like you said, I've waited for pretty much all my adult life so far to have "normal looking" boobs. I reckon if I chicken out now it'll never happen :P

Thanks Amimo, I felt a bit guilty 'encouraging plastic surgery' in that post, but I am so glad I did this, and I feel like if you're mature, have done a lot of research and are doing it for YOURSELF and NO ONE ELSE then there's no harm doing it. You sound like you tick all the boxes, so try no to chicken out! Pre op is the hardest part! Once you're done you wonder why you stressed so much about it!
January 15, 2015
Thank you so much Rach! :) Ah I don't think you are encouraging plastic surgery as such, but instead speaking from your own personal experience and journey! I so appreciate that! Yes, I have done looooots of research, and I feel the time has come to (finally) make my long awaited dream come true. Well, still four months to go but I'll get there ;)
