After my Post-op! 2 months

Went in for my last post up at 2 months after surgery. Everything is healing great. My doc had to remove two stitches that had worked their way to the surface. That hurt like a [RS bleep], but they're out so that's good! My next check up will be in June.
Now it's about managing my scarring. I'm using scargaurd to try to get them to fade as much as possible. Every day my breasts look a little better; a little more even, and hurt a little less. The healing scars do itch like a mother f-er. But I'll deal with it.
Overall this has been a great improvement to my body and my life. Looking forward to the next few months!

Any update? I am experiencing what you have already experienced. Am searching for some insight from someone who has experienced it.

Last week's photos 7 weeks post op

Here we go; these pics were from last week. I'm settling into my new shape and size. It is weird to have them so much smaller then they use to be... But I like them this way. I found out at my last post op that my husband must have heard my surgeon wrong... I originally had 475cc implants and now I have 300ccs. So it is a BIG difference in size. i thought they looked smaller then 400cc, but I just listened to what my husband told me after the surgery. Anyway... I like this look better. these new ones are proportional to my frame and they look and feel better then my old ones. Before I always felt like my boobs entered the room before I did. Now I feel like people see me first. It is hard to get use to to sometimes because I don't fill out shirts like I use to. But I also don't feel like I'm going to bust out of shirts like I use to.
Right now the only issue I'm having is I have a couple of my disposable stitches sticking out. They're suppose to just fall off; but they haven't. So they're annoying. But I have another doc appt on monday so I'm going to get him to take them out then.
I'm back to almost normal in the gym. I'm working with a trainer when I do upper body workouts and I'm not pushing as hard as I know I could. I just don't want to push my luck!
The incisions are healing very well! They just itch right now as they're healing.
My coach says I'll be ready for my Pro debut in May!

Here we go! Three weeks post surgery and my breasts are looks SO much better! I still have the surgical tape on them due to the length of the incisions but they're settling nicely. I have another check up with my doc on feb 7th. I'm hoping he'll clear me to get back to working out again.
I was able to wear a bra other then my surgical bra for the first time a couple days ago without any pain.
I did try to mop yesterday and my chest super sore afterward, so I know I'm not all the way healed yet. One more week and I'm hoping that tape can come off!

You look great! Your surgeon did a wonderful job. How are you feeling now? Are you able to work out yet?

Thank you! Yes my surgeon did amazing. I've been working out for the last two weeks. :) I wrote a whole update but my computer deleted it before I could post it.... stupid thing! lol. Anyway I'll have to update again here in the next few days. My breast look AMAZING and the scars are hardley noticable already. I'm shocked to be honest. One of my girlfriends has been debating on if she wanted to get her breast re-done and after seeing mine, she's booked a consult with my doctor! She was super impressed and seeing mine made her decision for her. My chest has settled, both breast look about the same now. All that's left is to fade the scars. Really an incredible transformation.
