Surgery was 9/20/21. Today is 9/21/21. And let me just say OUCH!!! Hole cow. I have yet to see them but I can already tell I will love them!! Can finally shower tomorrow night. (48 hours)! Truly can't believe this day has come!

I had to wait an extra day to shower, only because I was feeling a little unstable from the pain meds. I normally only take Tylenol. So switching to a narcotic was a bit of a stretch for me, but definitely a very needed one! I am already in love with these girls!

Waking up stiff and sore. I am a stomach sleeper. Like face down flat on my stomach. So sleeping semi reclined on my back has been killer. I’ve had to use a heating pad to fall asleep. I started only taking the Oxys right before bed to help sleep. Antibiotics twice a day and a Valium in the morning to help with the tightness.

Too sore and stiff. No pain meds besides Tylenol, and a Valium in the morning to help with the stiffness.

No big changes yet! But definitely love them!

Day 7! Finally got to see my incisions! Yikes! Right is still higher but not much! I can’t believe these are mine! Finished all my antibiotics, no more pain meds and using arnica for the bruising and swelling. Still stiff and sore. Range of motion is getting better. Tried to wear a regular t shirt but I got literally stuck in it trying to take it off. I’ll hold off on anything that requires lifting my arms to remove.

No huge change! Still loving!

Not much change, I can’t wait for them to start dropping more. I still haven’t seen my scars. Steri strips are still holding tight. Should be a couple more weeks before they fall off naturally.

I love them! But this band is driving me crazy. I know it’s only been 2 weeks, but I wish this right one would drop a bit! Anyone else have a stubborn boob? Or have 1 that took longer to drop? They are still rock solid so I know it’s still early! Also already loving them in a bikini! Come on drop and fluff!!

Twins are 3 weeks old today!! Not much has changed. My right is still stubbornly higher but is starting to drop! Instructed on how to massage it to help get it come down. He even told me I could try sleeping on my stomach, which could help them drop and fluff. They are so hard still so I don’t think I’ll be able to do that comfortably yet, but this stomach sleeper is excited to try! He removed my steri strips and clipped my dissolvable stitches so now they are only internal and not hanging! Seeing my scars for the first time was scary but I was in disbelief at how great they are!!! The right has a bit of dried blood and a little puckered due to the stitches inside but I think they look amazing! I’m so happy! Still wearing my band, but now I get to wear it more loosely. I couldn’t have picked a better surgeon, I’m so happy with everything.

Long post. So I’m sad. I am obsessed with my girls, but I’m having some regret. My LEFT boob is everything my dreams are made of. It’s perfect, it’s soft, fluffy, my nipple is placed beautifully, and it feels like it’s been part of me forever. It’s everything I wanted out of my wish boobs. With that being said, my RIGHT boob is literally my worst nightmare coming true. It’s hard, won’t drop and beyond sore, uncomfortable to move, when I breathe it feels tight and pulls oddly, and pushes uncomfortable into my chest. My nipple placement is low, and it’s about a half a cup size smaller because of the fluffing of my left one. Which is odd since that one was “bigger” pre op. I look like I have 2 completely different boobs on my chest. I hate how insecure, sad and worried it’s making me. I’m still “early” but I just have this gut feeling it’s stuck like this. I’m feeling all the early signs of capsular contracture, which sucks because I specifically went UNDER in hopes of preventing that. I see my PS in a couple weeks, and it can’t come soon enough. Maybe by the 6/7 week mark things will change. Anyone have this happen and it worked out in the end?

8 weeks has flown by! Not much has changed, right one is still higher, but much better. They feel much softer and squishy. I have days when I wish I would have went a tad bit smaller at times, but not often! I’ve been sized at a 32 DD(E). Although I prefer a 34, I hate how tight the band is on the 32’s. I normally just wear a comfy sports bra or bralette. I was wearing a large, but the mediums are fitting better now. I think the swelling is completely gone finally! Had my 7 week post op last week and Dr. Jean said everything looks great! So I will see him again in February!

The twins went on vacation!!! Haven’t taken many progress pictures lately but these are a few from wearing a bikini for the first time! I love them so much!! I felt so comfortable in a bikini for the first time, the boob to rib ratio was so amazing!!! First time I haven’t felt insecure because my ribs stuck out further than my boobs!!! Best decision ever. Get the boobs!

I’ve made it 4 months and 4 days! I am obsessed! So happy I made this decision. I was so nervous at first, I let myself get overwhelmed with the healing process. I forgot to think of each side healing from its own surgery. I am happy to announce that my right has pretty much caught up with my left! It’s definitely still higher, but I am extremely right side dominate so that muscle is taking longer to relax and drop my implant. I haven’t done much as far as scar treatment, but they sit perfectly in the crease so I can’t see them. I am going to try to be more vigilant on scar treatment.

Had my 4 month post op on 4/3. Can’t believe I don’t go back for a whole year!! These babies are officially all mine! I can’t remember life without them. These babies are the best.

Consider this my 6 month update. Probably won’t do another one for a while. Best decision ever. Started working out again. Thank goodness!! The weight I’ve gained should be illegal! Ha! I was concerned about my right dropping but it’s evened out so much. I have realized my right areola is bigger than my left, which messes with how they appear to be settling. I love the way clothes fit, and just how I feel about myself! I am a 34 DD, I don’t see my size changing anymore which is perfect because it’s exactly what I wanted to be!

Did I mention I absolutely love how my clothes fit these days?!?

Some people have asked for before pictures. Here are a couple, and 1 current after. I will be 6 months post op on the 20th.

Thought I’d give a little update! Made it almost 10 months! Love love love!! I was worried about going with the biggest size I could fit. Sometimes I wish I would have went smaller, but not often. I am so happy and more confident in clothes. Although- Sometimes I get a bit self conscious when I feel like they are too big for situations, family weddings, or meeting new people. It’s weird because I feel like they’re bigger than what people see. Ha! But I wouldn’t change anything! The weight I put on after surgery has helped make them even more propionate to my body. But I’m ready to lose that weight now!

I feel like I was born with them. 100% natural feeling and look. I am so happy with them. My scars are completely nonexistent as well.
