9 week update

So I have been really sore all week, especially at the sides. They hurt to touch or put my arms down. And my incisions underneath have been throbbing also, which I haven't felt for about 3 weeks. I have not been physically overdoing things, so I don't think that is the problem.

I've also been very depressed about the size. I am trying not to dwell on it, but I expected a much bigger difference and am upset about that. I do need to lose about 15 lbs at this point, so maybe once that happens, some will be lost from my chest also ( I usually lose some there). Need to get motivated to lose the weight, so I can really tell. Have a follow up with the PS on Dec 17th.

I'm still feeling bummed that they are not smaller. I'm really having a hard time with spending so much money, and going through so much for them still to be heavy and much larger than expected :( It's really bringing me down and I can't seem to get past it. I know I am healing wonderfully and they do look good, and I am grateful for that at least. They seem a little perkier this week, so maybe some of that deep swelling is finally going down.

Cannot say enough good things about Dr. Burgdorf!! i would highly recommend him. His staff are also absolutely amazing - always quick to respond to emails, questions, concerns etc. He is kind and compassionate and spent lots of time explaining every detail of the surgery and recovery. I had tons of questions and he went over them all patiently with me. He was honest and explained any complications etc. At my first follow up, he eased any concerns I had and was very happy with the results and the progress of my healing. After 5 weeks , most of the swelling is gone (I think) and really wish they were smaller. I asked for a B cup and he said he would try to get close, but he did not remove much tissue, which is frustrating. After paying so much, I was hoping for a bigger difference and I am disappointed about that. I think he was a little more conservative than I would have liked but he is still a wonderful Doctor. I self paid for my surgery, and he may have been a little more expensive than others, but I know that every penny was well spent!!
