Hey everyone its 75 days since I got my girls. Both of my breasts have dropped into place and are fluffing out nicely. I have seen Dr. Ortega twice since surgery, he was happy with results. According to Victoria Secret I am now a 36D however I buy a lot of things from Arie and I have been sized as a 34D exactly what I wanted. So I have bought a couple of normal bras but still like wearing the comfy sports bras.
As for recovery my right breast was a little stubborn to drop, and I was required to wear a band on them until just this
week. Both my nipples are extra sensitive now, and I tend to still get weird tingling sensations every now and then.

Day 16....Sensitive and softer

So its been 16 days since my BA. My nipples are incredibly sensitive and I get random pains in both my breasts which I read is the nerve regeneration. My strips fell off and now I'm using the silicone cream on the incisions. I am all so using cream on the top of the my breasts as well. They seem to have dropped a little bit, and are not ridding under my collar bone anymore. Absolutely no pain what so ever now, just tender at times and sometimes sore. Been back at work, and normal routine around the house, just no lifting. The sports bra's I got from Under Armour, Aerie and some cheap ones from Walmart are super comfortable. Also trying clothes on occasionally with no bra is fun just for a short time. My only complaint is the band I have to wear 16 hours a day, it gets rather uncomfortable.

Dr. Ortega and his nurse are great. Gabby made me feel so comfortable before surgery and in pre-op. The only reason I would not give 5 stars is the office staff is a disaster. I tried to pay for this surgery for three weeks in a row, and each time I called to place the credit card payment the "machines were down". The office staff provided wrong information regarding pre-op and appointment times. If you can get pass that frustration his work is a piece of art. He has excellent bed side manner, made me feel relaxed right before surgery and answered all of mine and my husbands questions.
