Pain, Pulling Lines and Squeaky Boob Toy -- 3 Week PO Today
I have so much to talk about this time. First, I want to go over some of the concerns I've had to google and what I learned about them, in case anyone else has the same worries.
I have had a sharp pain in one spot of my right boob, down at the crease, toward the bottom outer corner. This Question helped ease my mind http://www.realself.com/question/breast-implants-pain-right-breast and my PS told me to press down where the pain is, causing the pain to happen and hold down for several seconds. She says it will go away within a few weeks.
Next, pulling lines. Below my incision on my right boob, there are these pulling lines when I lift my arms. The image in this Question looks exactly like mine and again, it's nothing to worry about. Give it time. http://www.realself.com/question/vertical-lines-crease-and-pulling-after-breast-augmentation
Finally, Squeaking boob. I had the sloshing and squeaking the first week but the other day there was a different sound. It's like rubbing a water balloon, but I feel it deep down in my chest rubbing. It happens when I reach my arm across my chest (again on my right side only). Here is where Google took me on this one: http://www.realself.com/question/rubbing-squeaky-noises
There are several opinions on exactly what is happening inside, but I particular like Dr. Haeck's take on it as it matches up best to what I can feel and hear happening.
So, today I had my 3 weeks PO appointment. My PS seemed pretty impressed by her work and how quickly I am healing. I get to start my displacement exercises and hopefully get my right boob to catch up on the dropping and fluffing.
I can now wear underwired bras, submerge them in water (yay! Swimming!), enjoy them!! But I cant get on the treadmill until next week. Apparently it has to do with no wanting my heart rate to go up too high as there is still potential for bleeding.
So I left the doctor's office smiling and thrilled with how well things are going. I love my size, I love my body and I am excited to go buy a bra! A real bra with a wire!! So my husband takes me straight to Victoria's Secret. I ended up crying as I left Victorias Secret....I feel like a crazy unstable woman...but let me explain. I am sure I'm not the only one with these thoughts and feelings.
As I said, I love my size. I love how they seem big when I am naked but I can easily dress them down with most of my shirts. But yet for some reason the moment the Victoria Secret employee tells me I measure in at a 32DDD I panicked. I am only 3 weeks PO.....most people I have followed on here increase in size from now to the 3 month mark. Where the hell am I going to buy bras!? I was limited in my bra options at VS because of the size and none of the swimsuits will fit me right.
Suddenly I felt like a freak.... a freak who purposely distorted her body so far that they dont even sell bras to fit her gigantic boobs. But at the same time, I love my boobs and how big they are! This is why I say I am acting crazy...I have a war of the minds happening right now :)
Someone educate me, where do you buy bras if you go beyond a DDD cup?!! Especially with a 32/34 band size?
So, after laughing and crying at myself....there was a pet store in the mall!!!!! I love dogs and I especially love Boston Terrier dogs, my second favorite are French Bulldogs. Lucky me, there was a Frenchton (Boston Terrier mixed with a French Bulldog)!! I played with him for a bit and he gave me some great smelling puppy kisses. I felt much much better leaving the mall :)
So, end of the day- I love my boobs....Even if they are bigger than what may be proportionate to my body. I wanted big and I got it! I am very blessed!!

They're getting softer and looking more normal!
Just a quick update via pictures today! My right boob is still more swollen and uneven. But I still have belief it will even out. I read today that if one side has a stronger muscle than the other, it can take longer to heal...plus that side had a smaller breast width pre implants.

Absolutely loved her! Very easy to talk to, down to earth and listened to me. She is really respectful and her staff is friendly. They all made me feel at ease.
