I'm 27 yrs old and have a 1 year old boy. Before baby I was a 34A and weighed 123lbs. After having my beautiful baby, I shrank to a 34AA and weigh 114lbs. I'm 5'2 and a slim chick with no curves! I wanted those full C's my pregnancy gave me back! I decided it was time to go see a PS.

I decided to go for 420 cc silicone Mod plus. I was very specific with my PS about NOT having the push up look. I wanted a little side boob and a two finger gap in between my breast. He suggested that the Mod plus would give me that look.

I'm on day four now and today has been rough. I thought I was in the clear since I had 3 easy days recovering but my left breast is killing me! My right breast has been doing great! It's slowly dropping and fluffing :) I really hope by day 6 I feel a whole lot better.

Will be posting a new pic next week!

Happy healing. Looking forward to hearing more about your healing process. Especially how it goes with your little one. When will you be able to hold him and pick him up? I'm worried about that. I have a 9 month old now and if everything works out like I want it to I will have my BA when he is 14 months old.

Today, was the first time I held him and I was okay. I used my right side since it has been healing pretty nicely. I'm getting a ton of help from my family and friends so I'm only carrying him if need be. My PS said I would be fine as long as I don't lift him using my chest muscles. I'm using my lower body to help with the lifting. :)

That's encouraging to hear. I thought I could do the same thing maybe kneel down and have him climb in my arms then I use my legs to pick him up. :)

I think you should be okay. Maybe your little one will be walking by then! Fingers crossed! My son is pretty compact so he's easy to move around. I'm on day 7 and it gets easier every time I hold him. I'm not putting him in and out of his crib yet. I will try that on day 10.

Just read your update. You look awesome!! Looks like I'll have my BA next Monday instead of in Jan. I decided to have it now because my son is already 19 lbs at 9 months. The longer I wait the bigger he will get. We are going to put him in daycare for 2 weeks and my Husband will be here before and after daycare to help. I hope it won't be to difficult. It's honestly the only thing I worry about.

Day 6

Day 6 has been okay. I picked up my 19lbs child today and it was painful only when I put him close to my breast. I only held him to put him in his high chair and it wasn't too bad. He can stand so all I do is bend down and use my lower body to pick him up.

I'm only on Advil now so the pain is mainly coming from the incision. I having "morning boob" which feels like my milk is coming in and my breast are hard as a rock! Ouch!

My only concern is my left breast which seems to still be high and swollen. Did anyone else experience one breast dropping and fluffing faster than the other? I'm messaging it more than my right and making sure I'm icing it. Any tips to get the other one to drop?

:)

Day 11

I finally got my stitches out! Omg! I'm not going to lie, it hurt! My right stitch was stuck so he had to pull at it. :(
Then he massage the top part of my breast...ouch! He said they look great and that my left is just taking its time to drop. I can't wait till they both settle and look nice and pretty :)

He cleared me to wear whatever as long as its not too tight. I bought a VS bra and measured at 32 DD. I ended up buying a 34D bc I want to be comfortable. I'm hoping to fit a 34 C in a few weeks but looks like these girls will stay at a D.

So far I'm super happy && can't wait how they look next week!
