7 weeks PO 475cc's added new pics Portland, Or

Hello I'm a 25 yr old mother of 3. And I want my body back! I am 5ft 7 and 128lbs currently a very deflated A. Before children I was a Full C to a small D I was unprepared for what breast feeding 3 babies could do to your breasts :-O I decided on 450cc smooth round moderate plus saline implants through the armpit.

So today I placed my deposit for a Feb 26th date....

So today I placed my deposit for a Feb 26th date. So nervous yet so excited I have wanted this since after breast feeding my second daughter. Oh and my daughters are 6, 4 and 2. My hubby and I have been together since I was 18 he was against the idea until recently and now that he has met my doctor he is finally excited too :-D even though I'm doing this 100% for me I needed my husband in board too. The things that do make me nervous is complications of course. It took a while to save this money and I would be devastated and feel so guilty if I put our family in a financial bind. Hubby and I have talked about this A LOT and we both finally agreed this is something I need to do for myself. I just pray everything turns out okay. Also anyone purchase the extended warranty to help cover surgery costs if the implant fails? My PS office said it is a ten year warranty for $100. I'm thinking I will for sure purchase this if it seems worth it. Gotta read the fine print LOL anyways I'm so glad this website is here my hubby grounded me from showing him boobs and booby talk hahaha!

Oh and I forgot to add I will be getting the pain...

Oh and I forgot to add I will be getting the pain pump! Anyone else had one? I would like to be as comfortable as I can but I'm wondering if its worth $300??

So I'm going back and forth on the pain pump. Some...

So I'm going back and forth on the pain pump. Some things I've seen it is not worth it but other say it was. I don't know I do okay on pain and was thinking I could just save the $300 for new tops and bras?? Also I'm kinda freaking about the size!! again I'm 5 7 130lbs 29in rib cage and my breast width is pretty large at 15.5 is 450 too big?? I don't want to look like Dolly but I do want it to be worth it!! Anyways hope everyone that ha surgery recently is recovering well and love their boobies :-D 27 days YAY

21 days to go YAY!!! Getting excited but having moments of am i really doing this? And what if I hate them? Questioning the sizing arghhhh wish it was feb 27th and its already done! Made my final payment yesterday that was kinda hard lol! Have questions about when to take the Arnica and the other one starts with a B. Also they are not requesting blood work. Anyone else not get blood work done? I'm trying to make a list and get things in order early but gosh i just wish the days would go by faster :-(

Geez I wish the time would go by faster!!! I'm so...

Geez I wish the time would go by faster!!! I'm so not looking forward to recovery but I want to see them and get it over with hahaha I'm for sure having moments of freaking but mostly I'm just anxious! Got together all my supplies I think I need and bought a cute dress for my first real outing with my new twins. Hubby says I'm nesting and I said well ya I'm not bringing home one baby this time it's two LOL.. But it is true my house is spotless and I have 36 freezer dinners prepared for hubby and the girls. Another question I will be having surgery on a Tuesday and returning to work the following Monday does that seem like enough time? How did you ladies feel 6 days PO? I do office work but use my right arm A LOT!! Kinda worried about over using one side at work and it not wanting to drop??? Anyways rambling here hehe just can't wait!!

So it's Monday morning and my surgery is fast...

So it's Monday morning and my surgery is fast approaching lol Tuesday at 1pm I will get my boobies!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT I'm getting boobies :-D I'm nervous but ready for this!! WATER WATER WATER today the next time I post I will have my boobies and thank you ladies for all the support!! And I added some before sports bra shots so you can see how flat they look hahaha

So going make this kinda quick cause I kinda feel...

So going make this kinda quick cause I kinda feel shitty lol just got home an hour ago! Ended up with 475cc's smooth round mod+ saline through my armpit :-D ill post more tomorrow

So it's now Saturday night and I had my surgery...

So it's now Saturday night and I had my surgery Tuesday afternoon. So I guess I'll start with Tuesday morning I was STARVING lol and anxious so I got my oldest off to school picked up te rest of the house ad then we were on our way. It's about 20min drive. When we arrived my nurse was waiting to bring us back. I got in my gown got my nausea patch and all marked up. Another woman was in recovery next to me hacking up a lung after she woke up which was really kinda freaking me out haha. Anyways they put something in my IV and then we walked in and I layed down on the table. I don't remember them saying they were giving me anything it just happened. When I woke up the first thing I said was "how much did he do?" And then "where's my husband?" She told me 475cc I was shocked because we had always discussed 350-450 guess its hardly a difference between 450 and 475. And then when I see them they look kinda small lol. Anyways recovery hasn't been as bad as I thought the one thing I really hate is I couldn't do anything myself the first day my husband had to wipe and pull my pants back up :-O! Bit it's defiently getting better each day. I go back to work day after tomorrow. Oh and I have that evil Freaking strap I hate :-( :-( doc had to fight my left side I guess because my chest is very muscular!

Post op day 11 and feeling pretty good morning boob better everyday!! Been feeling pretty good since day 8! Got my steri strips off and the incisions look great and the are so tiny! Rash on stomach is getting better think it was the antibiotic. Not having hardly any pain just every once in a while. Tried side sleeping a little and I think ill give that a few more weeks. Tried on one of my old 34DD and I fit :-) happy now! Lefty is still a little behind righty dropping but still looking pretty good :-)

Sorry I haven't updated sooner but things have...

Sorry I haven't updated sooner but things have been busy getting back to life. So I am now two and half weeks post op and I'm feeling pretty good besides the extreme nipple sensitivity that emerged yesterday. SO SENSITIVE IT'S CRAZY!!! PS said it should pass by 2-3 months post op! That seems forever away. Also I'm kinda still concerned that lefty isn't going to look as nice as righty. Lefty has been sitting higher and slightly more painful this whole time! Doc says to give it time so I am doing the massages he has showed me to hopefully speed up dropping on that side. Other than thinking about lefty just about all day things have been pretty good. The girls look great in clothes so that's good :-D

Almost 3 weeks PO and just wondering when they will stop being so stiff! I've been massaging and I can feel them getting softer but they are still pretty stiff :-/ oh and added a new pic from tonight! :-D

So I'm 3 weeks post op now. Everything seems to be...

So I'm 3 weeks post op now. Everything seems to be healing nicely and I am very happy so far. I don't have another appt with PS for two weeks. I'm posting a pic of my incisions and please excuse the hair it's really hard to shave and I'm honestly really nervous about it lol. Boobies are less and less sore at the end of the day and I'm sleeping better each night :-D I got cleared to pick my youngest up as long as its not hurting. It's been killing me not to pick her up!! Other than that not much new to post sensitivity is getting better too!!

Almost 4 weeks and my right feels almost a part of...

Almost 4 weeks and my right feels almost a part of me now! Left still hasn't dropped and still can feel it inside of me :-( I love them but I suck at waiting and lefty not dropping down is stressing me out when massaging I can push down and feel it fill the bottom I pocket but I'm still freaking out! Going to post some new pics and a progression pic! Anyways I pretty much love them!! Lefty just better straighten up haha!

So righty has dropped and is beautiful and jiggly...

So righty has dropped and is beautiful and jiggly and I love it Lefty on the other hand is still high and hasn't seemed to freaking budge I'm so stressed thinking something might be wrong!! I do not want a revision so soon :-( anyways I guess I'll just keep massaging :-( anyone else have this happen?? I added a new pic and you can see how different they look!

So I've been a little depressed about lefty being...

So I've been a little depressed about lefty being different :-( went to my 6 week check up and he said the pocket is tight but he thinks it will stretch out but he did say sometimes they have to go in and release the bottom. I seriously cried all afternoon that is exactly why I waited so long to do this. Anyways enough poor me I'm almost positive I will have to have a pocket revision so I've just been down :-( posted some new pics! Oh and I can't even bra shop cause I can't wear them cause my left breast.

Don't know what happened to my pics :-( ill try to...

You look great in that black bra
vmumm4409 18 Apr 2013
You give me hope that mine will just continue to look better and better!!!!
Rach0806 18 Apr 2013
You seriously look amazing! I remember my PS mentioning that as a possibility...but still wait a little and see if anything changes. Sometimes it's just a few days and you see major changes. I had to have my left incision opened back up to drain a hematoma...like a week and a half ago. So it kind of made my implants look a little diff after because he pulled the skin right again when he stitched the left side back up. It will probably be a while before I notice they look the same. Everyone always seems to have 1 that is higher than the other for longer than 6-8 weeks. It could take 3-6 months. Don't get too down girl!! Like I said, you look perfect in my opinion!! :)
AnnabelLee 17 Apr 2013
Your girls look amazing!! :)))

Hey Miss New Boobs, I can relate to how you feel. I was so depressed because my right breast wasn't dropping fast enough but over the last week I have seen big changes. Try to be encouraged. This process can be really frustrating because it is basically a waiting game. Continue your massages they help a lot(as far as stretching the pocket). Your boobs look great by the way :-)
MissNewBoobs 17 Apr 2013
Thank you you much... Really helps a lot :-D and yours are looking great :-) Iove that dress on you! i guess patience is our friend lol
maybaby517 17 Apr 2013
I think they look wonderful I couldnt notice a difference.
wishinonaboob 17 Apr 2013
Thank you! And being patient is hard when you finally got something you wanted for so long...lol but we can do it :-)

Hi!!! My left implant took over two months to drop like my right boob. It takes time and we all want instant gratification when it comes to our boobs. Hang in there, it will drop and even out. Yours look really nice.
MissNewBoobs 13 Apr 2013
Thank you I'm trying so hrs to be patient!!
wishinonaboob 1 Apr 2013
Hi MissNewBoobs I have the exact same problem except my lefty is all beautiful and jiggly and my right one is still a little high (although it has dropped significantly over the past two weeks) and hardly moves at all. I am thinking its normal because I use that muscle so much that its just tight. I guess we have to be patient for a little longer. Your girls are looking really good btw.
Researcher Becky 1 Apr 2013
Hi MissNewBoobs, Thanks for posting the new pic at 5 1/2 weeks. I am having the same issues with mismatched breasts, but I am about 3 weeks out with my 375 cc's. One breast is fully an inch lower. However, mine look worse because the nipples point different directions. I can get by with clothing, but don't know about a swimsuit. I am 58 and mine are still swollen and a little hard. I think massage helps the overlying muscle to grow/stretch and accommodate. I will certainly be watching your progress. However, don't know about me posting photos. Good luck on this. I don't think you look as bad as I do though so try to get some comfort in that, dear.
MissNewBoobs 2 Apr 2013
Thank you... It's just such a waiting game and I'm horrible at it :-( I'm going to post a pic from today because it seems as though lefty might have dropped just a little I hope :-) trying to stay positive just really don't want to go under again so soon :-( I hope yours stops giving you trouble and even out beautifully :-)
Violet1234 (RealFriend) 28 Mar 2013
U look good; the taetoos are awesome!
Cherie29 26 Mar 2013
You progression pic is awesome. That really helps show how many changes happen during the first four weeks. Thank you for continuing to make updates!
naturesavor 25 Mar 2013
I'm so happy that your bra size turned out the way it did in the pink bra. I'm anxious to try on bras and stuff...I have no clue what size I'll be! I also love the way you look in the bralette. Seriously, you picked the perfect size! I'm 2 weeks PO today...what a marked difference from last week. I'm going to try to update my profile tonight!
MissNewBoobs 26 Mar 2013
Thank you :-) I was thinking they would be more of a C by the way they look but bras say different :-D yay yours are coming along beautifully dropping down nice and man you got some good projection girl :-D they look amazing and I think you nailed your size too I would guess you will be at least a D :-D :-D how are you feeling?
Cherie29 20 Mar 2013
You look amazing! I love your art work too. The size that you went with is exactly what I want to look like. I may need to tell my doc to go a bit bigger. Right now I am scheduled for April 9th to get 400cc moderate plus silicone. I am glad that people like you keep updating post op. I am super nervous about surgery and recovering. I hope I am cleared to pick up my little one before 3 weeks! I don't think I can wait that long. Eeekk!
MissNewBoobs 26 Mar 2013
Thank you so much how exciting congrats on upcoming boobies :-D :-D on the beginning I thought I wanted 350cc LOL boy would I have been disappointed! My surgeon decided on the final size ad I'm glad cause I was panicking and told my husband I wanted 400cc the morning of surgery so happy I listened to my doc :-)
jr7 18 Mar 2013
I am almost at 6 weeks po and the last 2 weeks they have really softened up getting more like real boobs everyday. Yes I thought the same thing felt they were going to be hard forever but you will really see a difference in the next couple weeks I promise!
MissNewBoobs 20 Mar 2013
Thank you so much for that... My husband been asking me if thy are going I stay like this and I think he kinda freaked me out haha. Looking forward to some softer boobies. It seems each day is get in better with massage YAY!!!
luvmyhuskies 17 Mar 2013
They look awesome! I was getting a little nervous b/c I plan on 420cc and all the stories I was reading everyone was getting 350cc and under and they looked pretty big after...I thought maybe I was going to big! I feel much better now seeing your outcome!
MissNewBoobs 20 Mar 2013
Thank you I was super nervous as well when I woke up and thy said 475cc I was thinking I was going to look like a porn star haha but seriously hardly anyone has noticed and I love that they look natural!

You carry the 475 cc's very nicely! Congratulations! Do you still have the nipple discomfort?
