5 months post op

Hey guys, I've been getting questions on how my boobies have been doing so I wanted to up date you guys. They're 5 months now, which is crazy because I feel like I've had them for years lol. I had to do a double take at the calendar and thought to myself "waittt that's it? I haven't even passed half a year yet? I must have counted it wrong." They feel so much part of me that I feel like I've always had them. They are doing great once in a while I do get shooting pains which aren't that bad, and have been told that it's normal. I usually just massage them when it happens and it helps a bit. The most important results to me were that they looked and felt natural and I'm so glad I got both. I'm glad I did not get the donut lift that was recommended by my ps because it gave me a natural but still perky look. I swear pictures do not do them justice they look so good and so natural, all my girlfriends thought I just magically grew big boobies. They are SUPER soft and squishy, feels just like how my boobs used to feel I'm so glad I went against what my ps recommended me and got silicone instead of saline. (Also some advise for getting your boobies to soften up really fast or if you're lazy like me is to use a vibrator, of course clean, and massage your boobies with those. I know you guys are probably side eyeing me right now but I promise promise promise you'll see results ultra fast and it works really well. Just like how you can't skip leg day you cannot skip your massaging it's really important if you want your boobies to soften up.)

I still do have my areoles incision scars, I have been using NewGel+E silicone gel. The scar healing process has been sooooooo slow, recently I started using NewGel+E areola strips. With those two combined I've been noticing great results on my scars and the scars are starting to get smaller and smaller.

I also got the ok from my ps to get my nipple pierced. They both sadly were still haveing little to no feeling so I thought it would be perfect and wanted to try and see if that would bring some feeling back. The odd thing is I got my right nipple pierced, and all of a sudden right after some sensation from my left nipple came back, I could hear the angels singing yall lol. The left is still not where it used to be and I have no feeling in my right, so I hope they come back soon. Losing feeling in my nipples are the only thing that I hate about this journey.

I'm still very glad with the size I got, it may be a lot of cc to some people and is considered large implants, but I'm a big curvy girl if I got anything less I feel like my chest would have just eaten them up and wouldn't have made a difference. I have very broad shoulders and wide hips so the size finally made me proportionate to my body and complimented my curvy body. Because my implants made my body proportionate and fits my body very well, my breasts don't look like they're 750cc, they acually look smaller than they are if that makes sense. So don't be scared of going too high or too low on ccs everyone's body comes in shapes and sizes. And don't be scared of the number just worry about what looks good and what you like on your body.

Drop and fluff struggle

Mainly fluff, but the struggle is soo real. My cup size has changed from the my last update I went from a G to in between J and K. Crazy thing is I don't even look that big, underneath clothes they look like a DD/DDD. Nobody's noticed that my breasts are bigger but then again I wore the VS bombshell bra like everyday before my ba.

I'm planning on going to a bra speciality store and get properly measured. Buying bras idk, ive had to exchange and returns bras because they keep getting bigger. I've been told you stop d&f at about 3 months and you can continue to get bigger until your breast are done settling. I'll probably get like 2 bras just incase they bigger.

Other than that I'm hitting 1 month on Tuesday. The days are going by so fast. My boobs are super soft and amazing, I love them so much! The top of my breasts have been really sore but they pretty much feel like they're my own breast now instead of these huge rocks in the way.

Sized as 36G, boobies we made it!

I had my 2 week po appointment 2 days ago. My doctor and I agreed that we like where my boobs are now and don't want to drop anymore so she gave me the okay to wear wired bras and sleep however I want. I know everybody's progress is different but I didn't expect all this 2 weeks post op. Either way I'm happy my progress had been super smooth.

I also got my surgical tape taken off, my incision is pretty dark but I was told it will lighten up overtime *fingers crossed. I have a few irritated places in the incision, which are the pink marks so for a week I have to put polysporin and put tape over it.

My doctor recommended to go to Nordstrom for good quality bras and get sized. I immediately went to Nordstrom right after my appointment and got measured as a 36G U.S. size or a 36 DDDD (they're the same size). I've always worn 38 or 40 bands because they're more comfortable for me, but the sales associate told me my current bands too loose for me, a bra should be stay in place, be comfortable, and snug. I tried on a bra with the brand name Wacoal and OMG the best bra I've ever worn. It was the first time I bought a $60 bra, but I thought i need to protect my investments no more cheap bras for me! I only ended up buying 2 bras same style different colors and one was on sale for half price. I didn't want to go crazy with bras because I'm not sure I'm done fluffing. I pretty much like the size I am now, a B to a G that's 5 cups! But if they get bigger no complaints here they look small in clothes and huge nude. I'm soo happy with my results my ps gave me exactly what I wanted big and natural.

Dr. Hardesty is absolutely amazing! At my consultation he was very informative and took his time explaining everything. At my other consultations I only saw the doctor for 10-20 mins, I spent a whole hour and a half with him. He made me feel so comfortable, and I knew right away he was the one. Dr Hardesty and all the ladies at his office are awesome. They're so kind, and I've never had to wait more than 5 mins for any of my appointments. He is a perfectionist, and I couldn't be any happier with my results.
