It has been a LONG time since I have done any sort of update. Things were going great, healing well, and looking fabulous BUT then the left breast started bottoming out and shortly after that the right one followed. Boobs looked great in clothing but not so great naked. Figured since I payed a pretty penny for boobs I wanted the best outcome possible and therefore decided that a revision was in order.
My doctor has been phenomenal through this entire journey and I truly can't blame him for anything.
The pain this time around has been sever and I am pretty drugged up around the clock but I am hoping that things will look up soon and that all this will be worth it in the end. The bandages have not yet been removed so hopefully tomorrow I will have a better look at things and may be able to give a better update.
Hope everyone is doing well and even with this minor complication I would not change a thing.

How time flies when your having fun! Well we are...

How time flies when your having fun! Well we are now 10 days post-op and things are great … for the most part. The left breast is bigger than the right and also feels a little bit harder BUT it gets softer and softer by the day and I can’t really complain because I do think they look pretty darn good.
I had my one week follow up last week on the 31st; got the steri strip removed, started massaging the breast, got rid of the strap AND got the go ahead to wear any bra I like. So what’s a girl to do other then go on a small little shopping spree? I am measuring a 32D/ DD depending on the style and need NO padding to show these girls off, picked up ten super fun bras to start my new under-garment wardrobe ;) Recovery has not been problematic for me at all (knock on wood), the first 2-3 days were a bit of a blur but other than that it really is nothing you can’t handle.
Next appointment with the doctor is at the end of this week. I will bring up the concerns I have with the left breast and hopefully everything will be alright. I mean it has only been ten days and I am sure that I am being more than a little bit anal but I did spend thousands of dollars on this surgery and I just want to make sure that everything turns out the BEST that it can.

I hope everything is ok, I'm sure it is! They do look great though.

Hi! Everything is going really well, thank god. 10 days post-op now, left boobie is being a little bit difficult but I think that may something to do with my anatomy prior to surgery. Nothing to scary just looks a bit bigger and feels a little tighter than the right

You look great pdx! Doesn't look like you're riding high at all.

Boobaliciois, thank you! You look great as well. My PS thinks that they are settled pretty much were they will be for the most part :)

You look great. I am sure that they are healing at different rates. They will also keep dropping into there places too. The swelling will keep going down. but I agree, you spent alot on your boobies, There is nother wrong with checking. better to check then not at all. I was self concerned too. I went from a 32A to a D. I wasnt used to them looking that big. So I always looked in the mirror. I would say the same thing, that one looks bigger then the other one. My dr. asured me that its the healing prosses and everything was ok. They look great on me and I am so happy I got them. I went with the saline, under the muscle, contoured style. I wanted a fuller natural look. I wanted to beable to fill out my bikini top and bras. Thank god no more padded bras.. You will be happy with yours too, congrats.

Where to start. Recovery is not all that easy...
pdxboobiesOctober 29, 2012
Where to start. Recovery is not all that easy breezy! Last night was the first night I actually slept through the night and I only took pain medication before bed and did not wake up in pain, which was glorious. I still feel quite a bit of pressure and numbness but the pain seems to be subsiding. This morning was also the first time I was able to go to the bathroom; this constipation business is no joke. The first shower felt wonderful, and I was able to take the wrap off. Still wearing the strap around the clock. My follow up appointment with the PS in on the 31st and I am really hoping that I can ditch the strap and maybe wear a supportive sports bra.
So far I am truly happy with the results BUT there is a difference in size, the left boob is bigger. I am not sure if it’s the swelling or anatomy but I do see a size difference.
Hope all you girls are doing well and loving your result!

Omg you look freaking amazing! Perfect choice in size! They look like they have dropped some already and the size thing is just swelling

Jess, thank you! I am so glad I went with 371cc. This afternoon I went to get fitted for a bra and fit in a 32D/ DD. Loving the girls.
October 29, 2012
You look great pdx....Congrats!!! HUGE difference now compared to the pre-op piks. Prune juice and Metamucil can help alleviate the constipation. I wish you a speedy recovery:)

Smooth Move tea is amazing! It tastes like black licorice which is good or bad depending on whether you like black licorice but it'll get things moving quickly.
October 29, 2012
I buy Chocolate Smooth Move because I don't care for the black licorice taste. But you're right, it is amazing!

PDX! You look fantastic and your new additions give you a great body! However, I beg you - don't ruin your skin with tanning beds. At 30 I am totally reformed as I have many friend that have ugly scars from cancerous moles and one friend who didn't survive. (None of us were heavy tanners (2-3 times a month + a special-event tanning trip here and there.) I have (thankfully) escaped the C-scare so far and though I know it sometimes sucks feeling while/pale, for the sake of my family and future babies, I've sworn off the beds and wear sunscreen. Anyway, you look amazing and I'm happy you are pleased with your results! :-)

Lisa, thank you. I know how terrible tanning is for the skin, living in oregon we don't get much sun so as hard as I try to stay away sometimes this weather just get to me. Really appreciate your concern however.
