One month update! Comparison Pics
So it's been a little over a month and I am sorry if I've missed anyone's comments! I wish real self would separate comments from every single other update!! I would love to answer any questions anyone has about surgery prior to surgery. It's funny looking back at my updates because I was so drugged up those first couple days I hardly remember writing this stuff lol! But I must say it has been totally worth it and I love these things. My clothes fit inifinely better and it just boosts my confidence so much!
My doc has approved me to workout as soon as possible after surgery and also did not want me wearing a bra the first week. So I'm happy to report I've been working out since about week 2 but today was my first time running and it was totally fine! No more pain at all. And I actually, somehow, am able to sleep on my belly! Lol! Never thought I'd be able to again but somehow with my head on my pillow and my arms tucked up under my breasts it leaves enough of a hole for them to sit comfortably :)
As for size, I was a 34B (barely) at VS and went back and got sized recently -- 34DD or 32DDD! This is with 500 cc implants and actually turned out exactly the size my doc predicted. He is wonderful and I'm so glad he helped me choose this size. I feel that it is perfect for me :) I'll be posting pictures to compare to my befores as well as with my rice sizers! I'd love to answer any questions or comments.

10 days post - getting squishy ;)
These babies squish together now so it's kind of fun :):) I might post a video later today of the squish factor. Until then I have a few more pics. Everything is dropping nicely but I think (still) righty has some dropping to do. They also look like two different sizes because the left one has dropped right into its pocket and is nice and round with good side boob where as right is up higher and is more "up & down", "rectangular", not so round. I am so hopeful it catches us or id consider speaking to my PS about a revision. But seriously, overall they are great. And in close they are perfect and are *'not* even big in clothes. I'll have to post pics of that. Because they seem so big naked, but in clothes, totally natural.
Also I was given the go ahead to sleep however I'd like and now even sure how I end up sleeping but I'm not having any pain and sleeping well! Even without Valium! So all is well here :) Still minimal use of a sports bra, doc says only a couple of hours a day.

One week and status changed to *Worth It*
Okay it's been a week and I'm feeling pretty well back to normal :) they are *almost* just part of me lol still a little getting used to .. Like when I look in a mirror and I'm like oh Hot Damn! That me?! That MY cleavage!?? Lol love it. Sent pics in to my doc in lieu of a one week post op as he is 3.5 hours away and he says everything looks great. Of course, me being overly picky I had to point out the slight asymettry and that Mrs. Right does not want to drop down like Mrs. Left but he assured me that they heal and their own pace! And no strap even though I said I'd be happy to use a strap! I think he's anti-strap lol he's also anti-bra. He'd like me to be without one as much as possible in the next three weeks which is fine with me.
Anyway, bought a few new sports bras today as he cleared me for exercising -- just no heavy weight lifting but like any cardio, even the elliptical is good he said. Any activity is encouraged. I tried on a cup bra just for [RS bleep] and giggles and it seems a 36D in a Walmart bra fit me well :) I'm good with that. Now that probably puts me at a 36DD at Victoria's Secret, but at VS I was at a 34B prior to this and even that was on the big end, so I'm happy with that. Here's a few more pictures and from here on out I'll be posting probably once a week! Will be doing lots of massage, trying to work that baby down ;) happy boobies girls and I'll still be checking for questions or comments! I enjoy them! XoXo

Provider Review
Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
680 N. Lakeshore Dr., Chicago, Illinois
A friend of a friend referred me to Dr. Pensler as she was beyond happy with his work. So far, I've had a consultation and have had lots of back and forth communication with his patient coordinator, whose been wonderful. I was relieved at my consultation to find that the Dr. Pensler's idea of what would look good on me was right in line with my idea of what I wanted -- definitely made me feel at ease! He took photos and used computer imaging so we could get a preview of what different sizes would look like on me. We decided to go with the 500 HP to fit my broader frame. I am so excited and trust that he will do a great job!
