I actually had to argue a bit with the plastic surgeon because he was wanting me to go larger than I was comfortable with. After all these years the implants are still soft and in clothes look pretty natural...if not like I am an old broad with perky young boobs. At least you got to keep your nipples...mine are just a memory.(July 28, 2020 at 8:57 pm)BrianSoddingBoru4 Wrote: Are you having any post-operative complications?

Not too much. Just a decent amount of pain that's making it difficult to walk around (and when I do walk around, it's usually bow legged). I might have a minor dehiscence around my perineum, but it's very small and the surgeon says that it's very common; just keep putting bacitracin on it and keep it clean.
Some of the facial work has left certain parts of my face feeling a bit numb. My head, where I had brow contouring and scalp advance is a bit numb, which makes washing my hair difficult.
Bigger boobs take a little getting used to, but I like the way they look.
I hope your recovery is swift and your discomfort manageable.
