8 weeks post op - WOW! 2 month mark! I didn't...
WORTH IT$8,900
8 weeks post op - WOW! 2 month mark! I didn't realize how long it's been since I've updated anything on here. Busy summer I guess. Had another post op appointment on Aug. 9th with my PS. He said everything looked great and going as he expected it to go. So that was nice to hear. I pointed out to him that I had some scar tissue developing in my right breast near the incision. He had a feel and said it was normal. Then he told me to "rub/massage the heck out of it". So that's what I've been doing. :) I've rubbing on the lumpy part for about 1 minute everyday since, and I've noticed the scar tissue going down quite a bit - so it's working. :) Breasts are nice and soft now too, so I'm liking that. I don't notice a ton of dropping since my last photos, but I know it's a gradual process for most of us.
Anyway, next appointment with the PS is in October sometime. I'm sure there will be a lot of change at that time. :) Still SO glad I decided to go through with this. Confidence is sky high! And I love they way I'm filing out my clothes.
Well that's all for now. Take care!

4 weeks post op - Can't believe it's been 4 weeks...
4 weeks post op - Can't believe it's been 4 weeks already!! I'm loving how everything is looking and shaping up. The twins are settling into place nicely. Still lots of dropping to do, but not riding as high anymore. As for pain - I really don't notice any pain anymore. I was a little achy today, but I think it was more of a bra/outfit issue. Changed into something more comfortable when I got home from work, and took an ibuprofen - feeling MUCH better now. :) I got measured for a bra recently....drum roll please...34C! However the 36C was more comfortable. :D Loving it - I feel like ME again!
I'll put up more pics in the next week or so. (Not too sure why the pics aren't showing the captions on them anymore?? Must be something wrong with the site...hopefully they fix that soon.)
That's it for now! 4 weeks and happy as ever! Take care everyone, and best of luck to all of the ladies getting their surgery in the next couple of days.

3 weeks post op - Haven't noticed anymore zingers....
3 weeks post op - Haven't noticed anymore zingers. Those pretty much stopped after about 3 days. Thank goodness, because they were kind of painful. I had to peel off the surgical tape today as it just wasn't "falling off" in the shower like it was suppose to. I'm sure I could have taken them off sooner, but I was too chicken to do it. But now they are off, and I can finally see the incision - looks pretty good so far. Everything is healing nicely. I feel so great! Recovery after having children was more painful than this whole experience! :) I feel so much more confident and my husband can't stop staring at me! lol! He really likes them, and the size I chose - I of course am happy with the size too. Now my mom is thinking a lot about getting hers done. She was not very lucky in the breast department either after having children. She told me she has wanted to do it for years - I told her to go for it! :) I think she sees how good I look (natural looking), and how good I feel, and I think she wants to feel the same way about herself. So of course if she goes through with it I will be right by her side and support her 100%. :) Anyway, that's all for now. New pics up today too. Take care!

They look great. I also took my tape off on sunday two day before my 3 weeks mark. they werent falling off as i was aslo instructed to wait. plus my tape were so wide and big it created a dent under my boobs that looked like a double bubble and had me freaked out. i contacted my doc immediatel and he said it will drop some more and fill in.I am so happy i took them off. geesh! its looking much better. My boobs needs to drop a little bit more and they will be perfect but ur results are amazing hun. keep it up and we will all support Mama. :)

all for me~WoW you look fabulous!! My surgery is tomorrow@9am.AHHHH I am sooo nervous. My Inlaws picked up my kids yesterday afternoon. And they are coming home saturday, but my husband is off until monday !! I wish I knew what profile you had. My surgeon is bringing in 275cc & 300cc to try in me. He is going to decide for me what looks best :) I don't want to be too big, but since I am only getting moderate (lowest) profile I think I will be ok with either. Do you have your implant card? It will tell you exactly what you have. Well I am in cleaning mode since I am kid free & hubby is @ work.

Thanks detroitchick! I hope your surgery went great! I checked my implant card, and all that's on there is the serial number, brand, and lot # from the implant. Doesn't say the profile. I wish I knew what profile I have! Hopefully I'll find out in August when I see my PS again. Anyway, let me know how your recovery is going and what size your PS decided on.

Thanks.Everything went great. Way easier than I thought. I am pretty sore but keeping up on pain meds. I got 275cc moderate profile silicone unders with crease incision.He said the 300 were a lil too big for what I had showed him I wanted. I have a huge piece of fluffy gauze down the front of my surgical bra that has to stay on until Sunday. So I am unsure on size. My doc gave me his cell# incase I have any concerns. So I sent him a text asking him if he minds me texting Him any questions..he said no prob!! I thought that was pretty cool of him. I go see him this Monday for my 1st post op.

I noticed in your posts that you were going to ask the Dr if you could. Cut short wearing the compression bra. Mine told me I would have to wear it 3 weeks but other Dodd let their patients wear a sports bra after like 1 wk. Did you enc up asking doc, what did he/she say?

I was able to wear a sports bra (of my choice) basically after the first week. Ended up getting the "Ahh Bra" (same thing as the Genie Bra). It's nice a stretchy, and we able to pull it up over me to get it on - since I still had limited arm movement and didn't want to lift it over my arms.
