Rash is finally gone!

Well I thought for sure I was one of those very rare cases of being allergic to the implants, there were a few days I was ready to call it quits and just have them removed. Not really sure what actually caused it but it was something used during surgery because the outline of the rash was all over my Breast and only that area. Whatever it was I'm so glad it's gone. My dr called in a prescription pill and cream and I think it was the pill that made the difference. It lasted about 3 weeks. Other then that snafu it's been smooth sailing! I think they have settled in to their final position and the scars are still healing nicely. I switched to Aquaphur on the scars since I know that I'm not allergic to that. Other then that, I've pfetty much been able to have them go unnoticed. I visited my hometown last week and no one noticed! Probably because they were to focused on my booty change :), and like I've mentioned before my boobs always looked decent in a bra. Now, if I where a bra that provides any support they do look much bigger. But with my rash I've really just stuck to cami style bras or bralettes. I have bought quite a few though that I will wear soon! Here are some new pics. Ps they are getting much softer!

Weird rash at 2 months postop? I still love them!

So weird, I kind of expected to have an allergic reaction because I have such sensitive skin, I'm allergic to most makeup, lotions, latex and adhesives so I thought it was great when I didn't get one postop, but then I got a huge rash on each Breast... Weird, I kind of freaked out but the doc said its not an infection just a delayed allergic reaction... So itchy I almost called in sick today.... But instead I just kept my door closed all day.

Other than the rash I really like how they are progressing, I'm just patiently waiting for the lower pole skin to stretch, not really sure how much more it will but I'm optimistic.

on another note we finalized our taxes today... :( uhhh I hate having to pay, wish we could write off plastic surgery :) anyway while my husband was gathering all of the tax paperwork he came across my "wish boobs" pic and he said "hey look you got exactly what you wished for". Obviously I thought he was being nice but he insists that I'm not that far off from what I wished for. I asked for a natural non-augmented look and I think that's exactly what I got, doesn't mean I don't wonder what it would've looked like with 425ccs but I have no regrets.

Also one of those nights where I couldn't sleep I read up on the right way to measure/fit a bra and I've put it to a test (several actually) and my size is 36DD OR 34DDD. The 36DD is more comfy, but the 34DDD creates more cleavage. I've purchased several of the 36DDs. I've measured wrong all these years... I've also noticed that it's really hard to buy cute bras without padding, my old bras weren't really padded but lined enough to cover my nipples, they were all underwire though... I have a huge box to donate, I wonder if anyone would even want them?

1 month post! And my 1st non-padded bra ever!

Today was a stressful day at work, to say the least! So to reward myself I thought I'd stop by Nordstrom Rack and buy myself a treat! Where I live that's the best place to get bras. I was looking for Natori brand but stumbled along Feline brand and they were really the only ones that were cute and non-padded. I hesitated because they were DD but bought them any way. To my surprise they fit perfect! And honestly I never really cared what size I'd end up, I just wanted better shape, restore some volume, but never top heavy with my petite frame!. It could have just been the brand too, either way not a big deal... When I head to my hometown of San diego next month I will go get sized just because i want to buy the right size from now on. They do have underwire though so I won't wear them much for a few months but I'm keeping them!

Pain wise I think I'm progressing just fine, I have from time to time some nipple pain and the incisions sometimes feel tender, but not worthy of even taking ibuprofen anymore.

They are a lot softer now and the incisions are barely noticeable. I thought they'd be dark because of my skin tone but they are not.

I'm still patiently waiting for my skin to stretch but other than that I am super happy with everything! They are starting to feel like a part of me now.

It's hard to express how they make me feel, I've always felt girly and cute, (yes, even with my pre-boyish figure) but now I feel different, not sure if sexy is the word. My husband tells me I'm different too, in a good way, I think it's my confidence during intimacy. He has always made me feel beautiful even after 10 years of marriage, but now I guess I feel more like the way he treats me.

My doctor is the best! I have proof! And I have no doubt that he will exceed my high (but realistic) expectations for my upcoming breast augmentation! 2-13-15 He did it again! He exceeded my expectations, and I really can't say enough good things about him and all of his staff! I also really love the anesthist he was there for my first surgery, my cousin's surgery and again for my breast augmentation. I guess I feel like that is such an important aspect of the process. Then of course the nurses are awesome too, especially Lindsay and Tanya both are always there. I think I'm done with plastic surgery for a while but if I ever need/want anything else done I know where to go! I would recommend Dr. Yates over and over! In fact I already have, and I don't have one hesitation about it. He is awesome, and yes it's true what many other reviewers say about him he is really handsome so it's a little embarrassing for him to see us while we are so vulnerable. Ps the anesthetist is also really handsome :). Ps I'm on my meds so they may be acting like truth pills! Haha!
