I haven't posted in forever, because honestly, everything has been great and I've been busy enjoying my new boobs! haha Everything is still really great! I went for my 3 month post op on April 2nd and the doctor said I'm healing very well and everything looks good. They've settled and look AMAZING!
I finally went and got fitted at Victoria's Secret the other day (I felt like this was a rite of passage or something) and they said I was a 32DD. I know their bras can run a little small, so I might be a 32D in other brands, but with either of those sizes, I still have to shop at VS or online because I haven't really found other places that carry them - at least not with a 32 band size (and 34 doesn't work on my narrow frame at all). But that's ok, I'll take it! :)
I do still have some numbness on the bottom of my breasts and some hyper-sensitivity on my nipples, but my doctor said that is completely normal and it can take a year or more for it to all go back to normal. It's not hugely bothersome, so I'm ok with that.
The size was probably my biggest worry and I'm so happy that I trusted my doctor and husband's advice. I love that I can wear a push up bra and look "va va voom" or a regular bra and make them not so noticeable. Originally I told my doctor that I didn't want people staring at me at PTA meetings or church functions, but I also really worried about them being too small - and I feel like I got the perfect balance. I'll try to upload some new pics sometime today. :)

Holy cow are my incisions itchy! My steri strips...
Holy cow are my incisions itchy! My steri strips are starting to come off and the itchiness is insane, particularly on the side where a portion of the incision is now exposed to air a bit. I know itching is a normal part of the healing process, but has anyone else experienced it like this? Is it the healing combined with the steri strips coming off? The skin doesn't look red or infected or anything like that, just itches. Would it help and be safe to take some benadryl?
Otherwise, I'm starting to become a lot more comfortable each day. I'm sleeping on my side fairly successfully now. They still don't look like they're dropping much, but I need to take some new photos and really compare to be sure. But on the bright side, I cleaned out my closet this weekend and it was SUPER fun trying on clothes. It's like a whole new wardrobe! :D I'll take some new pics today and post them soon!

Hey LJ. I had my revision done on the 16 and am also having a lot of itching. My steri strips have been coming off the last few days too. I just cut off the ends that aren't sticking just to help prevent them from getting caught on anything. I go see my ps this Thursday to have the steri strips removed and the suture ends trimmed.

Hey justLj. Congrats on the new boobs. What did your ps recommend for itching? I'm hoping I avoid this with my lift.

Hi, you look fantastic, congratulations on your new boobs. My BA is on the 11th of April and I am deciding what size but after looking at your final size I think I am leaning more towards 320cc, I originally thought 280cc but I am totally flat. I too don't want to look obvious, but looking at your size they look so good. Hope your recovery goes well and Im looking forward to seeing new pics of your progress :)

Don't forget you will loose about 50cc if your going under... So go bigger, you will not have any regrets at all. Everyone looks good five days Post op but the real deal is you will loose alot. Trust me. I started at 36AA and I went Style 45 which is Ultra high profile, 550cc I am 36DD in VS but others 36D so don't go by CC. Do the rice thing.
