WORTH IT
Well, here I am a little over a year after my surgery and I'm still so happy I did it. I've healed really well. I continue to use Mederma since I had a lift and have scars that remain but lighter all the time. I need to post more pics to show myself a year later. I think now I'm so used to them the DD doesn't feel big at all to me. Meanwhile, just a year ago I was just dreaming of these!!! Maybe I'll go a little bigger if I need surgery in the future for them. ;)

Hello. I have one more appt with my Dr and I'm all done. Yesterday went well. I noticed I'm feeling so itchy where my scars under the breast are. I am putting Mederma on but all must still be healing, I suppose I have to be patient all has been great but the itchy feeling is so annoying at times I just want to scratch. Some say that is the skin healing. All I know is today I wore a dress I could never wear it sat in my closet for 2 summers and today I felt great it in because I had something to hold it up on top ! LOL ;)

Hello!! I'm so excited about shopping for bras. I finally caved and bought a bra after only wearing camis for so long. It's been about 3 months since my surgery. I'm love shopping the clothes fit so much better. I pretty much fit into all my clothing just fill it in better. Especially strapless tops. I went to Vegas and really enjoyed going dancing and wearing a very low cut dress that I would never have been able to wear before (and with no bra) whoo hoo! I just turned 42 last week, I feel great!! I only have one more check up with my PS and that's it. It's been an awesome ride!

Christine! This was a joy to read!! I recently had a BL/BA on 5/17 and can relate to everything you wrote up through your first week so I'm hoping my next few weeks will be similar to your recovery! I haven't heard of the Genie Bra but after hearing you and the others speak of them I'm going out today to purchase. I am a 37 year old mother of 2, 5'8 185 lbs and previously wore a 38 C bra although I rarely filled it out (had to wear the padding to look proportionate). I had a full anchor with a Natrelle Moderate 397 cc in the left and a 490 cc in the right. After a week the right is still sitting pretty high so I'm wearing a strap as much as possible to push it down. It's still sitting a bit under my armpit.
Your results look amazing!! I'm also going to Vegas at the end of July and am looking forward to wearing some cute tops and dresses without having to worry about wearing a bra that "enhances" my chest!
Please continue to post pics if they change (I've read that they continue to settle over months) etc as I would like to follow the timeline of your final results!
Have a great summer :)

HI Andie, so glad you enjoyed my review. I'm glad to hear from you. Sounds like you are doing well. I"m so glad to share info on my surgery, finding peole on here helped me so I'm glad that someone can read my story and find it helpful. That's excatly what I wanted. I will post some new pics soon I figure I'll put my bathing suit photos on there I took a before in a bikini top but have yet to do the "after" pic in a swimsuit.
Oh fun Vegas will be awesome, it was really nice to wear fun tops that I used to have to wear WONDERBRAS to fill ;) Now I hardly wear anything just cami tops. The Genie Bra is in Bed Bath and Beyond and they take the 5.00 coupon! You can't beat that for two bras!! Have a wonderful time in Vegas! post pics when you are up to it ! Christine :)
