5'4, 120lbs, Deflated 32b. Los Gatos, CA

Finally back on here. I will admit, I got so upset with this whole process I almost deleted my profile and wished I never went through with this boob job. The 1st pic (at 4 months p/o) I absolutely hated my breasts. My doc told me it looked like I was getting capsular contraction and immediately started me on medication as well as giving me a band which I was suppose to wear 24/7. It was awful. The band went over one breast and completely smashed down the other breast. (too help it soften and drop) I hated wearing it and could not wear any cute / form fitting tops with my smashed mutant looking breasts. To top it off I still couldnt straighten out my arm all the way and I seriously thought it might become some life long disability. Plus, reading all the reviews on here made me want to cry because everyone kept saying, "at 3 months post op, you have a pretty good idea of what your breasts will look like." And mine looked horrific. I'm not a cryer, but oh lord, I wanted to cry when looking at myself in the mirror. I also kept bashing myself about what a horrible mistake I made and thought about how foolish I was. I'm not really a "Debbie downer" and decided to just get over it. My doc also informed me that if I still absolutely hated my breasts at 6 months, she would do a free of charge corrective surgery to help drop the breast (but she really urged me against this). Now, at 7 ish months post op, I'm so happy I waited it out. I didn't realize until a couple weeks ago that things were actually falling into place. Pun intended. (; I stepped out of the shower like woah, when did that happen?! They're still a bit too big for my personal taste, but I'd rather have these boobs then my "before" boobs any day of the week! And as far as the arm thing, I think the pain fully went away around 5 months and I was fully able to extend and move my arm any which way. So for anybody out there freaking out, just know, it gets better. I cannot stress how happy I am that I waited things out. So glad I didn't traumatize my body any further with another surgery. But, this is just from my personal experience. Oh, and as far as bras go, my sizing is all over the place. I've been sized at anything from a 34D to a 28G. And I have bras from sizes in between too. Overall, I'm finally happy with the descion I made. Hopefully my story helps.

Sorry I haven't been on in a while! Had a EXTREMELY rough first week. By the time week 2 came around I still felt like crap. I was much better than week 1, but definitely not back to normal. The nausea was soo bad! I literally felt like I was painfully hunger over the entire second week. I'm now approaching my third week & I feel good. Not back to normal, but good. My surgery was axillary (underarm) 390/360 cc saline moderate profile no lift. I was a 32b before & measure at a 32DDD now. I still cannot fully raise or straighten my left arm. My left side has healed more slowly & been more painful since surgery. Still a bit sore too. Mornings are still really painful/sore. I need at least 10 minutes to adjust in the mornings. Not entirely happy with the size. I didn't realize how big the implants actually are. I'm also still adjusting to seeing myself with boobs in general. It's getting better with time. I'm also noticing how "veiny" my boobs look, it's like pregnancy boobs all over again. Also, I kinda feel like my left side is " bottoming out," it also has more swelling, but it could just be that my right side hasn't dropped yet. (Your left) I have an appointment coming up so I'll just have to ask the doc. Kinda freaking out about it/ kinda remaining calm until I see my doc. Still light bruising almost 3 weeks out. 1st week I had a 35 bust now it's a 34 so that's an improvement. Boobs are measuring at about an inch difference. I believe one side was 9' & the other was 10'.. Don't remember exactly. Can't wait to see the final result. Hopefully everything evens out & falls into place. Kinda really nervous!

What a crazy ride this has been! Soo.. I made it to the 5 day mark, woo hoo! It was not easy! I've had a lot of mixed feelings so far. It's hard to be happy about your new boobs when you're in constant pain. Yes the pain meds help, but they do not get rid of all the pain, so you're in a constant state of distant throbbing. (If that makes sense) plus the pain meds have made me super constipated! Tmi I know, but seriously, I normally poop at least once every day. And now I'm going once every 3 days.. And I feel super bloated, and I suffer from chronic headaches and just the combination of everything has just been overwhelming. I've also had a bit of the "boobie Blues". I felt like they were too big for my body, questioning if I made the right choice, questioning the size, getting upset because I think the size is too big and makes me look fat/ grandma-ish... It's just been more than I thought it would be. I thought it would be all lollipops and rainbows after surgery, & that definitely has not been the case. Anyway it's day 5 after surgery and I'm finally starting to feel a little better both physically and emotionally. I've been going back & forth about my breasts, but at the moment I like them. Actually I always liked them, it's just at times I feel they're too big for my body. But right now I'm okay with them. Can't wait until I'm off the meds, and the pain goes away, and my body finally starts feeling like MY body again.
