Just wanted to update that after 3 years, I still love my implants. So glad I did not go any bigger than I did. They are very natural and fit my body just right. I probably could have gone a size smaller and still been satisfied.

Thanks for updating. Not very many update past a few months. So great to hear you are still happy with them. Would you mind posting a pic of they look now? Thanks!

That is great to hear! A picture of the end result would be an inspiration.

It has been 5 months since my procedure and I am very happy with my results. I am a 32 C or D depending on the brand of bra. VS bras are a D cup, but I think they have vanity sizing and their bras run small. While I'm very happy with the size I chose, there is still part of me that wonders if I should have went the next size up. I got used to the largeness and perkiness of them during the healing stage that now I miss that! But, I guess that would happen no matter what size I chose. I would be used to the swollen size and then be sad when they shrunk. I think getting them done in the fall/winter is the best idea if you want time to heal and not have it be such a big deal. I was able to cover them with bulky sweaters and I didn't mind wearing the surgical bra because I could easily hide that under sweaters too.
One major regret was not getting a lift. One doctor said I should but I went with the doc who said I didn't. It was a purely financial decision as it would have added another 2 grand to the cost. But I wish they were a little higher. I hate complaining about size and placement because I feel after spending $6000 on myself I should just shut up and be happy already!
I waited my full 6 weeks before lifting weights at the gym and I'm glad I gave myself time to recover. It took about 3 months to gain back my full range of motion for doing bench presses and push ups. It felt like the implant was tearing off my chest when I first tried doing them. My advice would be to take it slow and give your body time to heal.
So, here are some quick pros and cons:

The pros - very happy with results, they are definitely becoming part of the "normal" me, boosted my body confidence, clothes fit me much better, breasts are proportional to my small frame, no pain or general discomfort, feel real

The cons - Feel very heavy or uncomfortable without a bra, wish I did a lift, constantly paranoid there is something wrong with them (too far apart, getting capsular contractures, pulling muscles while I'm lifting weights), slightly self conscious in a bikini like they are too big or noticeable, embarrassed by family member who constantly makes a big deal that I had it done.

Wow, I think your results look amazing, truly! Your nipples seem to be in great position and I don't think they appear droopy at all. I know it's so easy to second-guess yourself after the fact (I'm doing it too!), but you really do look fabulous. Perfect, full size for your frame and great shaping and symmetry. If you had a lift, it would have meant more scarring as well as significant changes to the appearance of the areolae. (As for me, I may opt for a lift several years down the road as aging takes its inevitable toll, but for now I'm quite satisfied with my outcome.) Thanks so much for updating us on your progress!

Thanks so much for your kind words! They really made my day. I will probably need a lift too in the future. Guess we will cross that bridge when we get there! :)

Love your size- am downsizing from 450 Hp and looking for some inspiration. You look great!
April 27, 2015
Thank you! I'm happy I did the size I did. I feel very comfortable with them.

They look so natural!!! Beautiful results! I went for a smaller size, and part of me also thinks about maybe should have gone a little bigger, since I am still healing and I now fit on B nicely. I wished for a full B and got scared at the sizers and got a 275cc. However, when I see your results after 5 months, they look really good and you can always make them bigger with push up bras! I hope I look like you 5 months down the road!

I am downsizing to a 250-275 from a 450. I cannot wait! I wanted a C at the time, got a D and now know that I will be happy with aB :-)

I am also debating about a lift.reading your post has made me think. I will be better off getting one. I am removing 450ccs and am worried about sagging. I think you look great . Your breasts appear very natural most likely because they are not sitting so high :-)

I am wanting to get breast augmentation. By the sound of it I have a similar body type as you. I am 5'2 and 100lbs. I notice one of my boobs snag a little. I blame it breast feeding. But my question is will surgeon recommend getting breast lift or did you inquire about it? Why high profile vs mid? I was thinking about 300cc and mid? TIA You breast look great also.

Day 4...

Petite Mama
Ok, so as far as pain, I am feeling really awesome. I only did 2 days of pain med and muscle relaxers and then switched to extra strength Tylenol. I am able to move my arms around without some discomfort but haven't had any shooting pains through my breasts the last 2 days. My incisions are tender, but I think it is the surgical bra rubbing against the bandages. I am definitely sore, but I am able to do a lot around the house that I didn't think I would be able to do.
I'm still sleeping on the recliner, I haven't experienced Morning Boob yet, and hopefully I won't. I am bloated and constipated (tmi, sorry). This surgical bra sucks and after my 2 weeks of wearing it are up I want to burn it.
I'm so grateful my mom has been here taking care of my kids while I recover. It is hard not picking them up or being in pain trying to bend over for hugs.
I'm worried I went a size too big. I didn't want to be so obvious, and they feel huge. I hope I learn to love them after everything I have gone through to get them!

I have to say Day 4 you look great. The size is not too big for you at all they fit you very well. I think they will only get better as time goes by. The surgical bra is the worst part as you say. I am at 3 weeks and I still wear it (unless I go out) til I see the Doctor tomorrow. I too am going for Thanksgiving to my in-laws house and nobody has seen me since the surgery. Hope all goes well.

Congrats! I really hope I have a smooth recovery as well! Happy healing, they look great so far!!! Can't wait to see once they start dropping.

How are you feeling about the size now? I'm waffling between 250cc and 300cc, and since we're similar stats, I thought I'd ask. :) I really want a natural look, so I'm nervous to go "big". I think yours look great at 4 days post-op!
