Sensation update and Bras found! :)
I had general patchy numbness that seems to work from my chest towards my nipples around month 6+. If i didn't wear a supportive enough bra, my breasts would ache. The lace bra below is a prime example. Lovely as it is, it was my only pretty one and after several days i ached and went back to my functional ones. For about the first 9 months i also had to sleep in a tankini (picture below) that separated them to sleep comfortably, reduce aching, and was just really hot in the cleavage. Started to have skin reactions due to the constant heat in my cleavage and on my back from the bras/tanks. I can sleep without them, use baby powder, use a body scrub and washcloth to keep my skin fresh, and use Tinactin if it got out of hand. Real world problems... :p....
To this day (1 yr and 1 month), i still do not have erotic sensation in my nipples. I do have some ache when I manage them roughly so not numb and I physically respond as though i am aroused (nipple erection etc) but my mind doesn't read it as sensual. I see this a potential consequence and my body's reaction/healing process and am hopeful it will come back.
I have had to strengthen and stretch my upper back/shoulders to keep a better posture. They look more natural than fake. I dress conservatively so don't believe I am seen as "implants- yep!" Dr. Decherd did great work. They don't feel like an accessory anymore and am less self conscious about them. I would select this size again otherwise it would have been a minimal difference and not worth it. Again, Dr. Decherd was amazing and am so glad I trusted him w/ his vision for my implant size and after vision.
I finally found bras!!! That and my nipples was the most disappointing aspect of this. Victoria's Secret, Fredericks... all minimal (none) selection for 38DDD and Sona had nothing that made me feel sexy. A gal at VS told me to try Lane Bryant... OMG... WHAT A FIND!!!! I went absolutely crazy, amazing selection, gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous, and reasonable with BOGO and coupons. Proud owner of 18--- ( blush ) new bras in a matter of 2 weeks :)
Still very happy with the lipo too. Still some shading on my outer thighs (noticeable to me but likely not anyone else) and a slight crease still on my inner thigh but overall... Would do it again too. Seems like I just can't shake the weight i gained but now hovering about 15 lbs heavier instead of the 20lbs than I was last year. My weight now is definitely in my lower belly/waist but is in a pretty contained area given the boobs and new legs. I am still working out a lot and hope to get rid of it this year. Could be my age that isn't working with me. Won't resort to lipo in my abdomen now (although now have enough fat to do it :/.. .the irony.... lol) and just keep working on it.
Provider Review
He, his facility, and staff were all great! Very friendly, I was always seen promptly, if I called with a question it was quickly answered. they let me try on different sizes. What also really helped in my decision making was the imaging system he has on site. Given the risk, expense, long term commitment to the whole process, I was having difficulty visualizing the breast aug and it was so hard to make a choice that way. His imaging system helped me get comfortable with the potential outcome and selecting the size to fit my frame. It was priceless to me. It was also pretty darn close ;)
