1 year after my MM- thoughts
Hi ladies,
I have not been updating because some people in my work place have been having suspicions on me. While I don't mind people knowing I did this, I have problem with my co workers having possession of my nude shots. Just felt so wrong. Especially the males. So regretfully, I took down my pictures. So many times like when I receive relfself emails to update, I have the urge to upload a recent shot because I've benefitted greatly from other ladies' review and really want to give back. Anyway......
So it has been a year. I have settled into a Victoria's Secrets 32DD. It's weird how before the BA, my size depends on the cutting and fit, like I could be a 30C or 32A or 32B. Now, it's a standard fixed size. I'm not complaining, it's just an observation and I quite like the fact that I can purchase a bra without too much consideration for its size.
I did the gummy bears in teardrop shape implants in 305cc. Sometimes I think it dropped while other times I think the implant stayed in the same spot since day 1 and the dropping I thought that occurred is actually the swelling going down from my throat area. The scar under my boobs have also became normal skin colour. My surgeon is brilliant. The scar placement is exactly on my infra fold. So if I stand straight, I can't even see my scarring. Is have to lift up a boob to look under it to see it :) and it's not that my boobs are saggy now that they're plumped with gummies! Also, it camouflages in the crease there. So your have to look for it to see it.
I still feel that I could have gone smaller than 305cc and I would have preferred it. But other times I think that if I did go smaller, it would not fill out the loose skin that was made redundant after I stopped breast feeding. So that would leave me with extra skin?? I don't know really. I could be saying I wish I'd gone bigger if I did go with the 200cc initially. Still!!! I cannot express how much I simply LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my new boobies! In fact, I don't even think of them as implants. They're part of me now. To think I initially only wanted the TT to correct the excess skin. Thank goodness I decided to also go with the BA!
Clothes wise, there are so much adjustments to be made. My old clothes are all tight fit. And the chest area is killing me. So I have been gradually donating my old dresses and blouses and replacing the excess space in my robes with new ones. It isn't easy buying clothes in Asia if you want a good fit. The standard size measurements for a regular top seems to have like a 2-3 inches difference for the chest and the waist area. So if I went with something that used to fit my waist like XXS with a 23" waist, I'd end up with a chest width of 28". But if I went for the fitting chest at 34", then the size would be an L. Then the waist area would be like a 31". So far, I've been getting L in my clothes and alter the waist area to somewhat fit.
My TT is what I initially only wanted to do. Still no regrets. My doc gave me no dog ears. Scar is flat and the ends of it are losing it's redness and they are oh-so-thin. The middle part however, the scar has stretched a little bit and the colour is still dark compared to the surrounding skin. I don't really mind it. Due to the ton of stretch marks I have, the scar placement makes it almost inconsequential. I had stretch marks until about 3" above my naval. After my TT, my marks are mostly below the naval. So it's ok for me. To me it's an improvement. Not only are there lesser marks and more unblemished skin on my belly, but the areas with the marks are also improved because they have less sagging and wrinkles after being pulled taut.

18 weeks PO, got new Victoria's Secrets bikini!
Not much to update since there really isn't much improvements or change since the last few weeks. I'm hoping things are stabilized. Anyhow, I gotta new bikini from Victoria's Secrets. I got fitted into an M size for top and bottom. But now I'm thinking maybe a L will provide more coverage and comfort. What do you think?
17weeks PO. tt scar looks lower
Hi ladies,
I'm 17 weeks and 2 days Post op now. Last few weeks have been not much different to each other.
I went for a yoga class today. Nope, not comfortable. Just light ab work and now, I'm at my workplace with what seems to be belly swelling. It's weird that I can rollerblade 12 miles with no problem and this mild yoga is setting me back. sigh sigh.
Oh yea, the pop on my tt incision was tender for a few days and then it went away on its own.
What I really wanted to update about today is the placement of my tt scar. When I just did my tt, I realised that my panty barely covers it. I realised now that my normal underwear covers the incision wound and also the paper tape I stick over it. If i would to ask myself when exactly did the placement move? I wouldn't know the answer. But it did move all right! Slowly, inconspicuously, over the course of these 17 weeks to what I estimate to be about 1 inch lower :) So if any of you are worried about how 'high' up your tt wound looks, maybe give it time? It should move a little lower as the skin stretches out.
