Second post op appointment- all is well! - Los Gatos, CA

Hello All! Been a while since I updated, life goes on :) So I'm 17 days post op and I have my second follow up appt today. Dr says everything is healing nicely and I have to say I agree!! I am sooo happy with my results. The new girls look amazing, and everytime I try on something I am so pleased! I also love that it's not totally noticeable (well at least not in winter clothes). I now wear a size 34 DD bra, which is equal to a 36D or 38C (honestly I still don't understand bra sizing lol). I know it sounds huge but its really not that big! Im glad I didnt go bigger though, these babies are the perfect size for my body :) Over all I lost 2 inches from the initial swelling. I started off with a 39" circumference and now I'm down to 37". I am still having a "sunburned" feeling on my skin from the incision to the nipple, but Dr said that will go away with time. I'm a little tired of not having full use of my body, but I know patience and taking it easy will pay off in the end. Happy healing to all!

Well I survived the week! Actually was no where near as bad as I thought it would be. I am going a little stir crazy what with my limited activity and gym restriction. Starting to feel chubby and I don't like that one little bit!! Guess I have to restrict my diet in the mean time while I cant work out. I keep having to remind myself not to lift anything! Not in too much pain at this point. Incisions are tender and right outer breast hurts when I press on it to do massages. Other than that no complaints! Happy healing to all!

Not much to update on day 6. Girls are dropping a bit, though they weren't that high to begin with. I added a new pic (with wonderful genie bra on). The right side is definitely tighter and more resistant to movement than the left. Scar on right side is a bit sore too and tender to the touch. I'm being extra vigilant to make sure no infection gets a hold! That's the last thing I need sheesh. They still don't feel quite like they're a part of me yet, maybe because of the numbness. Hopefully they will feel like a natural part of my body soon. Tried on some of my old clothes today and I'm really pleased with how nice everything looks. Can't wait for the bras I ordered to come so I can test them out too! Ahh how exciting. I'm going to see some friends on Thurs who don't know about my ba... I wonder if they will notice? I will be wearing an oversized sweater for sure haha! Not quite ready to show them off to the world yet, though they do look normal enough to do so. I will blame my new boobies on changing birth control pill types and gaining a bit of holiday weight :) such a sly fox! I can't believe tomorrow it will be only a week post op! Feels like I've had them for much longer than that.
Good night everyone.
