3 week boob-iversary
Can you believe it has been over three weeks! Feeling fantastic - Morning Boob reduced to about 5% and everything's starting to settle more.
Left boob also catching up to right so I'm pleased with that. I am used to sleeping on my back now but have introduced a cheeky half hour on each side of a morning. Aahhh...the simple things!
Check 'em out - 3 weeks old. I'm loving myself! So. Thrilled. Perfect size too.
By the way no one has noticed - it's winter here so I've been in jumpers and scarves and things.

Different paces
I've noticed my right boob feeling a bit more uncomfy and wondered whether I'd have what many girls have reported feeling - the dreaded 'one boob dropping & fluffing faster than the other' situation. I'm right handed so obviously favouring my right in general as that's what feels natural for me. And consequently I've just noticed my right IS definitely d&f-ing faster! Check out these pics from today, and you'll see what I mean.
Both boobies looking good, to me, but the right isn't so high anymore and is also kinda starting to come out forwards more? As in...settle...or in BA terminology...fluff! You know what I mean :)
Going to try to be more conscious of this tomorrow and for the next little while to try & even up the score. I'll be trying not to favour my right hand. The difference is minimal so don't worry about this girls if your BA is coming up. No one can notice in a bra or clothes too.
Also posting some incision pics. Now my original tape is off, the stitches are feeling a tad lumpy but look good & will dissolve over time by themselves. I'm replacing the tape every four days currently. Micropore tape - supports healing and reduces scarring.

Day 9 or 10 update
This is day....9 today. Kind of feel like it's further beyond this though! The new boobs are really feeling a part of me, although I'm super conscious of them still. But feeling much more confident with them in general, in terms of I'm not wrapping myself in cotton wool or walking around protectively anymore. Have realised I have ZERO revealing clothes in terms of anything that vaguely shows my boobs - for obvious reasons, ie not having any boobs in the past to speak of - so this is something that will have to change. Soon!! Gonna get a couple of pretty tops very shortly.
I actually did go out last night, for a couple of glasses of wine, darling, to a gorgeous and very hip rooftop bar with my partner. Got the girls out - which for me and my non-revealing-wardrobe involved wearing a vest. A VEST!! A YELLOW VEST!! Admittedly a really lovely ribbed mustardy-coloured vest with brown buttons from Veronica Maine that I inherited from my sister, who has exceptional taste, thank goodness someone does in the family - but srsly - girlfriend gotta get some nicer threads!! Anyway the night was a success to me, mustard vest or no mustard vest - I felt Absolutely Gorgeous and boobish and voluptuous and totally validated spending all my (and the bank's) money on a boob job. Wore one of my sexi-lexi sports crop tops, the black Triumph Triaction one, as it's got really thin strappy straps and doesn't interfere with singlets - so that was good underneath.
Morning Boob - it's still a thing. Less problematic though than it was at first, it really just feels like the muscles all across my chest are sore. Once I get going in the morning though it subsides as I guess the oxygen reaches everything and my body starts to warm up etc, it's just because I've been still throughout the night that I then wake up with muscle stiffness I think. So expect a bit of morning boob to roll on into week two, girls!
My nipples are a bit sore at the moment as well, just in terms of super sensitive - which is weird as they're also pretty numb still! As a Professional Medical Doctor (not really!!) my own diagnosis of this situation is that my nerves are healing...I do get the occasional sharp pain, it's not really a sharp PAIN though it's more just a bit of a medium-sharp-ish jab, down the side of one boob or another. I'm guessing this is to do with healing as well. This sensitivity is why I'm still always conscious of the boobs - I can just kind of 'feel' them there, you know?
For those worrying about how they'll feel post-op, it's definitely not that bad, discomfort and hating sleeping on my back is the worst I have gone through! As another key benefit, I have also found that whatever problem I am facing is instantly solved using the following strategy:

Provider Review
Dr Bruce Fox
I have changed and am not going with Dr Bruce Fox anymore as he is now going to be overseas at the time I was booked in for surgery. So I am going with Dr Andy Ives from Endless Solutions and couldn't be happier! He is kind, informative and very considerate. Plus he has 14 years experience and manages the burns unit at the Royal Melbourne Hospital so is extremely skilled at reconstructions. I couldn't be happier with him and I know I am going with one of the best ones in Melbourne. His staff have been lovely too and are based in both Windsor and Port Melbourne in inner Melbourne. Operation coming up on 30th June!
