WORTH IT$6,100
Oh my goodness it has been so long since I've updated! I've been super busy with my last semester of Nursing School and totally forgot to update this thing. Well, things are going very well; now at 5 months post op. The implants have settled really nice and feel very natural to me. I am able to wear any kind of bras now at a 36 C! It's a good fit for me. Now at this time I think I could have gone a little bigger, but I am very happy with the results nonetheless! My nipple sensation has still not fully returned. My right nipple has more sensation than my left. I think with time it may return but at 5 months I am happy that I at least have some sensation. It is unfortunate but I am more happy with the results than not. I have been starting to work out at my pre surgery levels; I started P90X, and while I can't completely do the push ups or chest exercises I find I can keep up pretty well and am not in much, if any, discomfort. I am planning on posting some 5 month post op pics later today! Hope everyone else is doing well with their results or their anticipated surgery!

I'm currently 3 weeks out now.. wow its crazy how...
I'm currently 3 weeks out now.. wow its crazy how this journey has been. I am back to working and it's going well. I wear my Genie bras I got from Walmart pretty much full time. They are extremely comfortable and supportive at the same time. My doctor said everything is looking good, he said that they still need to drop a bit more. My skin is starting to become not so stretched and is starting to loosen up. I still have some numbness in the bottom of my breasts and my nipples but it's slowly coming back. I think with the feeling coming back comes the sharper awareness of how tender they are. I am just taking ibuprofen or tylenol about twice a day and its working well. Overall, things are getting better and that's the main thing. Now that I am getting used to my implants I'm thinking I could have went a little bigger but still, it's better than what I had so I am happy. Plus my doctor said I could wear a swim suit and swim this weekend (1 month out)!! I am excited and am going to look at swim suits today! :) Uploaded some pictures too; some are from 2 weeks out and the rest are from today.

Much love!

I am also feeling numb on the bottom half of my nipples and breasts. I am 4 weeks post op. I wonder how long it takes for the feeling to come back? I hope it does.
I think you look great. Looks like a perfect size :)

It's been almost a week since my last review......
It's been almost a week since my last review... gosh it feels like forever ago when I was still in pain, nauseated and miserable but it was only last weekend! I have been working since monday and today (sunday) was my last day at work and now I'm off for a couple days. Honestly, the first day back at work was terrible. I was in so much pain and couldn't handle it, but each day got better and better and now I feel almost back to normal! It's crazy! I am only taking ibuprofen now 600 mg usually twice a day and things are going good! I can only describe my chest pain as if it were like I had sunburn.. not sure if anyone else can relate to that. Anyways, my bloating is slowly going down but is still there.. it's unfortunate because I want to look great in clothes and not feel bloated and gross in them! I know though that it will subside with time. I'm going to take some pictures tomorrow to compare from last week. Hope everyone else is doing great!

You look absolutely wonderful!! I have to admit how jealous I am of you and everyone else who has been able to get their BA's already. I had to postpone mine since I live with family right now & they are all against it. It's going to be a long wait until Sept 20th!!

In your last entry you spoke of a sunburn-like pain and I have read about that before. Maybe it is the skin stretching. Hope you are well. Can't wait to see your updated pictures and the changes. I have my pre-op Friday! Eeekkk! I'm quite nervous! Can't wait to hear what he says about size for me. I have definite opinions of what I want. It is so hard for me to trust anyone to do what I want. ---That is just me not that I do not trust my doctor and his skills. Just hard - the not knowing the outcome in advance. DO NOT want too much side boob and look fat (I'm not fat) or too round and look weird. Want Friday to come fast, yet Never to come at all......???? I am over thinking again. I just hope he will make sure the implants will fit me properly. I am kind of narrow I think. Glad you are on the road to recovery!!

I'm glad to hear you are doing better! So am I! :) I am off the pain meds, and have been for about a week. My nipples are still sensitive, but they are beginning to contract normally when it's cold and so on. =) I'm looking forward to seeing your new pictures!

Just uploaded some! And yeah, I still don't have complete sensation yet in my nipples or the skin at the bottom of my breasts but it's coming back gradually.

Yay! You're looking good! :) But are you still feeling quite a bit of pain since you're on meds?

Yes! New updated pictures to show your changes! I am glad you are now feeling better too. How was it back to work? Do you have lifting in your work? Nursing is pretty demanding! How are you handling it?

It's getting much better! I think I throw myself into it a little much and then while I'm doing something physically demanding I have to remind myself that I can't or that I need to be careful lol. It's getting much better though. When I first started it was painful to even walk or move my arms.. but now I pretty much have full range of motion and feel like I can do (almost) anything!
