More of my first week

In some of the photos you'll notice dark spots forming at the edges of the tape between my lower breasts. These blisters SUCK. Seen a few other people got blisters but damn that steri-strip! Anyway, they healed up fine. But ouchy...

So here are the weekly photos for y'all! Thanks for everything realself community!

My progress!

It's hard to describe what you go through the first week after surgery. I've read post after post and everyone varies wildly! All l know is l love them and l'm glad l did it. But there have been those moments where l'm so frustrated with being sore or not sure about the size or want them to heal, that l get a little blue. But then another day comes and l still love them. They are soooo much improved and beautiful already. Can't wait for the healing to be done!
So l'm gonna post my everyday photos for week one. They're selfies so they appear kinda huge but you can see the changes as they shape and drop!

I've always thought there was something wrong with...

I've always thought there was something wrong with my breasts. Even when they developed they had an odd shape; kinda saggy, triangular shape with large nipple pointing at the floor. Nothing like ld seen on TV or coveted as a tween! And then l did a natural bodybuilding show when l was 19 and they just never recovered and looked worse. I started taking out my contacts before l'd take off my clothes so l wouldn't have to see them. It's been that way to this day and l decided for my 35th birthday next month l'd treat myself to a new set of BOOBS. Not breasts. Boobs! Haha! It's not fair that l'm 34 with no kids and single and my breasts look 55 and about to retire! I've wanted this for so long and was surprised at all the support. My mom had breast cancer several years ago and had begun to look into reconstructive surgery. She ended up not doing it but found an awesome doctor in the process. So l flew from Anchorage, AK to Sarasota, FL to see Dr. Scott Engel. Soooo glad l did.

I'll post my before pics and then show my progress since lve already had the surgery. Sorry l didn't post sooner. I was nervous but this site proved invaluable to me through all this and l must share back! I'm 5'4" and about 140, pretty muscular build. Before l was a saggy 36 B/C. Wanted D-DD perky boobs to balance my frame and give me a super feminine body party since l feel a little masculine. I went with round, HP silicone 425cc in both breast. The Dr. found my breasts were slightly tubular? (explains weird shape) and severe ptosis (so sad). Here's my journey to date! I'm so glad l did this!

Dr. Engel was amazing! He's known for his perfectionism and professionalism and l can attest to both.He was patient and listened to what l wanted and recommended the best options for the best outcome. I am so pleased with the whole process! Dr. Engel and his staff put me at ease and everything was well explained and thorough. Follow-up procedures and post op care were amazing. My whole journey began long distance and I never thought it'd have been so easy. They made this happen for me. I can't say it enough. Go see Dr. Engel!
