WORTH IT$5,250
Before I forget just so you ladies know, I got sized at 2 bra stores in Tanger Outlet and I'm a 34DD. I'm a 34DDD at VS. It surely does not look that big but that's what fits the best.
Happy healing everyone and enjoy our tatas!!!

05/10/13: 1 month PO appt yesterday. All went well. Dr. Finger suggested to come back in 3 mos if I have concerns, otherwise, I don't have to. A few things we discussed yesterday are as follows:
* I can now do ANY form of workout, including heavy lifting, as long as I'm not hurting my pectoralis muscles (very excited about this!)
* I can wear any kind of bra
* I can now go swimming, my 3 yr old was thrilled
* The slight discomfort on my sides/below my armpits was due to the muscles being pulled so they could place the implants under the muscles.
* Left breast is still a little swollen and will still drop a tad bit.
Few things he reminded me on:
* Continue massaging. He suggest 3 times a day for no less than 5 minute at a time (I've only been doing it twice)
* Silicon sheeting. I'm light olive skinned and prone to keloid. Start applying the silicon sheet ASAP.
I congratulated him for making my surgery almost painless and doing his best to keep them symmetrical. I love my breasts. I'm on 4th week and they feel like they 'belong' to me now, as if it has always been a part of my body the whole time.
I'm now shopping for support bras so I can start doing HIIT and calisthenics again. For now, it'll be 85 degrees in Charleston tomorrow, so I'll be rocking my new bikinis to the beach with my 3 yr old. So much to look forward to!
Thank you so much for Dr. Finger, his wife, his entire staff, this website, and all my buddies from Boobieville! I love this site!

04/30/13: 3 wk and a day PO. Doing better everyday. we actually went to an all day rockfest event on sunday with my 3 year old and I didn't hurt or got tired.
I have 3 highlights on this post:
first and foremost is my confidence level is soaring high and it's making me more cheerful, positive and productive. I hope it does the same to you ladies.
secondly, take cherie29's recommendation on those Hanes bandinis. Purchase big ones!! I don't care if you already have an anticipated size in mind that matches the bandini on the sales rack - it doesn't mean you will end up that size! get a size or two bigger!
With this being said, I was a 34 saggy B prior to BA. My left one is actually way smaller. you'd think getting an average of 400 cc would make me a D... Wrong! I'm a 34DD / 34DDD in VS. I went to the mall last night and holy crap it scared the bejesus out of me when the lady said I'm not and will not fit in a 34 DD. Man she was right! Worst part is ALL the VS stores in Charleston area doesn't carry that size and can only be purchased online. Bummer!!
Lastly all you women out there, please do not freak out about the initial look of your boobs: they're too high (or one of them is), they're off, bruised up all over, too far out, blah blah... Just chill out, REST, REST, REST,, and do exactly what your board certified surgeon tells you. It will all get better. Worst thing you can do is overwork yourself, over massage those puppies, and next thing you know you have complications here and there.
Happy healing everyone!!

Jeannie u said u got measured correctly at a 34C so 400 CC would make you s DD or higher. Have they both dropped at the same rate right now, r u still wearing the surgical bras, do u have any pain or umcomfortableness anywhere?

hey caribmama, yes 34 C from VS initially. I can't believe it's that big so I went to maidenform and playtex/bali and they got me at 34 B. left breast was actually closer to an A.
I'm still dropping but I don't have much left. they will never be even but close enough to where I wanted them to be.
I threw away those surgical bras in less than 2 weeks! they're horrible, tight and painful.
along the sides, underneath my armpits, are still somewhat sore. other than that, I don't feel a lot of pain anymore except the morning boob.
how have you been?

Lmao. I am still wearing sports bras that are tighter than what my actually bra size is and yes they are beginning to make under my boobs sore as hell. My R breast is not dropping as fast as my left, I think its healing slower because thats the most uncomfortable. My ps didn't tell me when to stop wearing sports bras or even how long to massage and I didn't ask either.

I was advised to massage twice a day, about 5 mins each. I did massage the left a lot and pushed it down but since it dropped significantly, I stopped it. if the surgical bras aren't comfortable anymore, I suggest not to use it. mine got to a point that it was waking me up at night. I bought 3 34 D no underwire bras to replace the surgical bras. of course they're super tight now.
post new pics! :-)
