WORTH IT
So I'm a little over 4 months post op. I am now a 32C, A D is some brands though. I'm pretty happy with the results still. I still get sore after high impact activities but it's gradually getting better. There is still lots of discomfort from the scars on the sides, I have another post op appointment coming up, I'll ask my surgeon about it.

8 weeks post op: Been awhile since my last post. Been crazy busy with work and training for an upcoming fight. I'm now currently a 32D or 32C depending on the brands. My surgeon said I will be a 32C. So far the healing has been going good. I've started running again but tend to get sore during or afterwards. Hopefully it will settle down and no more soreness after impacted activities. Overall I'm pretty happy with the results. Even though I wish I could have gone smaller but I was too big to begin with to go any smaller than I am now safely.

You are looking so good, ArmyGirl! Congratulations. Glad you are feeling good and happy with your results!I too wish I were a bit smaller, but am certainly thankful that I'm no longer where I started. Have a great Christmas!
Thanks :) Hope you have a great Christmas as well.
You were the same starting size as me and you look GREAT now!! So happy for you :) I bet you are going to be so much more comfortable, and you have a gorgeous proportion now....
Thank you:) Yeah I definitely like the proportion too.
wow! yours came out nice!!
@Armygirl, your results are great...I'm so happy for u :-)

5 weeks Post op:
Well I still seem to be a DD but can still see some swelling. Most definitely got my fingers crossed that they go down more. I am back to working out in the gym. Of course not running, jumping, or anything that causes impact. I'll randomly try running but it still hurts. Also still have to double up in sport bras and still have some bounce. That's kind of depressing since the thing I looked forward to the most was only having to wear one sport bra..

Hi Army Girl. I had my surgery August 17 and am still running about a large D to DD. I have been pretty upset by that too, but figure it is better than the 34H that I was previously. Clothes do fit me so much better now. For the first time in my life I like going shopping for myself...maybe a little too much. Though I do have to admit that shopping for a bra is still a chore. I still can't seem to find one that fits right :-( My surgeon encouraged me to give it up to 16 weeks to start worrying about the size, and even some of the ladies on here say 6 months to a year, so I'm really trying to think positively that there is still some swelling. But while I may not get down to the C that I was hoping for, I am glad that I'm no longer the H that I was!
Amy they look a lot lighter! Give the swelling some more time to go down.
Wow! I have to say it looks like the army surgeon did some of the best work I have ever seen.... Although I can still see your issue that they do still look rather large, but from my reading elsewhere it seems like it takes about 4-6 months to see the true size! I wouldn't worry just yet :)
Thank you. I have another post op appointment on Tuesday and will ask him more about the predicted size and swelling.
You look fabulous! If you haven't seen it yet, here's a Q&A about the swelling issue -- most the docs here say it can take 6mo to a year to see final size results.
I know it's the same story with regular lipo too, that it takes quite some time for the swelling to truly subside.
I wonder about the pain on the sides though... Was that where the drains was? Bummer that there is still pain fo far out :(
