Love the 'Perks'! : ) - United Kingdom, GB

Hello lovely ladies! For me, I'm now 3 months and things are going well physically. But boy is this an emotional pair of flip flops!! Don't get me wrong, I am mucho happy that I did this but I have struggled to switch off the 'BBB.....Big Boobie Brain!'. Seems like I constantly look at them (espesh in clothes) and think 'sweet Jesus are they still huge?'. This may seem crazy because I went from a G to a D and KNOW that there is a massive difference but I HATED my big boobs so much that I got to a point where I guess I just didn't wanna see anything. It's so hard going from hating something to getting to know and love the new part of you. I could barely look at myself before. My only moans at the mo is that my left is still a bit bigger than the right and the nipple on the left is very shy and only pops up now and again when she feels like it. Such a diva. I spoke to my PS about this so hopefully it will resolve itself in time. Its not the end of the world if it doesn't. Both nipples are still quite numb. He had to take more out of the left so this one still feels hard underneath compared to the right. To be honest with ya, I have my fave and that is the right one! I still talk to the left one though, it needs more TLC, I think it feels neglected. The incisions are great, I'm going through the red/ropey stage and know that scars don't fully mature for about a year. I have medical knowledge from working in healthcare for years and know that the noobs (new boobs) will take about a year to settle into their natural shape and I am trying my best to patient but I just can't help it! haha. I am also very aware of my big flubba bubba belly. Yes, I have to accept that now that I have less boobage to block my birds eye view the belly is just about to take over the world! Ok so my points so far at 3 months for those who need to know, I started wearing underwire bras this week, I am still swelling a little at times, I can sleep however I like, I have gone back to running, (great sports bra), My scars are red, scar tissue makes the underside feel 'woody', my nip naps are still numb, I am using Bio il now to moisturize the skin once a day after showering mainly because I bough it pre op and the flamin stuff is too expensive to waste! haha, please please please believe me when I say that even when you think you have researched the lot nothing prepares you for the emotional part of having breast surgery, especially if this is something that you have longed for for many years. Please don't sit at home alone crying over your decision, even if you have infections, wound issues, wonky noobies, uneven nip naps....whatever! This literally other than walking at the age of one and using the potty for the first time has been the best move I have ever made! Give it time, speak to us, speak to me, speak to the people around you and your PS. We didn't do this because we felt like having sore boobies for a while, we needed to do this for us, to eventually feel normal, feel comfortable, be happier. We are so in this together. Chatcha soon kiddos. xxxxx

Muchio quickio updateio! Very happy, went topless under a t-shirt for a while tonight and can't believe my nip naps weren't peeking out from the bottom! No more Flippity flappaty! Wow.........xx

Hey peeps! Well I'm 9 weeks tmrw (its 1105pm in the UK). I do have the odd 'Nooby Poofy Momenty'. For those who don't know me I call my old boob 'Ooobs' and my new boobs 'Noobs'! I cleaned the house a lot more today than I've been able to up until today so puffed up a bit that's all. This swelling can take months to subside completely. I saw my PS on Monday (7th) and as always he answers my questions openly and honestly and sometimes before I get a chance to ask them! The first thing he said to me when I walked in after hello was "ok the incisions should be looking quite red at this stage". He freaks me out.....hes a mind reader! My main questions were answered with confidence. I asked about my left nipple which is shy in popping out compared to the right. He said that they don't invert nipples during surgery. I'm quite numb in both which can take a while to change. To be honest I can't even honestly say what they were like before, they were dangling by my feet somewhere tripping me up! Haha. My other main question was whether to cover a little spot that wouldn't scab over because of bra friction. He said it could've been a stitch and if the blood spotting was an issue for me I could so I continued to stick a small band aid on it! It's better now. He wants to see me in 3 months unless I want to see him before. He is psychic mind, I was going to ask about scar texture and he said "The scars will feel quite woody for a while as they mature" After that I was trying not to think in case he read my mind! Hehe. No huge change in boob shape since last pics so will update pics at 12 weeks prob so that I can see the change myself. Although I see them all of the time! I'm still adjusting. The healing IS a process girls. Don't fret, the blues and the anxieties are normal. If they're not.....I'll be needing sedation! Chatcha soon! Mwah. Xxxxxx
