PostOp 2 Weeks

WORTH IT$7,500
It's been 2 weeks since my BA and I'm absolutely thrilled with the results! I went back to work on Monday, so this was my first full week "back in the grind". I still have the occasional pains and the PS says it's probably my nerves regenerating themselves. The tape and "end stitches" came off on Wednesday, and I had a small spot under my breast which was irritated from the tape. PS put some antibiotic cream on it and it's looking much better now. I've also been give the ok to return to yoga as long as I don't do any poses which puts the weight of my body on my arms and/or chest.
Its hard to notice many changes until I look at the side by side pictures that I've posted here. I believe they may be dropping a bit and I'm positive they're getting softer. Still not as soft as I'm hoping for, but they are a whole lot softer than they were this time last week.

Did u notice any change in size after 2 week mark. As far as them shrinking in size?? I fear this happening. Thx

Caddie! Love your story! I'm at my 2 week mark today and have been so worried about the differentiation in size, but my PS isn't. He indicated that there's a significant amount of swelling and it's too soon for me to determine the final result. I'm not wearing the compression band since my left one is riding higher than the right. Great size. You look awesome! Hugs.

Great results. We are about the same height weight and I got the 425 High profile 2 wks ago. Have u been measured if so what size. Did ur PS say ur size would pretty much stay the same?!?! Congrats!!!!

Hi LBM, and congratulations on the new you! I did have some swelling, but not very much. Once I quit wearing the compression bra, the girls appeared fuller after a couple of weeks, but I don't think there was a change in size. One of mine also appeared higher, but after about 6 weeks they evened out nicely. I'm about 10 months post op now and am at 34DDD or a 36DD (depending on the bra manufacturer). I've had no problems or complications of any kind and couldn't be happier with the results. Patience is a virtue which I lack, so I know where you're coming from. I wanted to see the final results immediately! I understand it can be difficult, but I'm betting after another few weeks, your girls will sync up and you'll be thrilled. Happy healing, and keep us posted on how you're doing.

Can I ask u a quick question I am now 3 weeks post and was told today at VS I was a 34C. I feel small. Did u ever get measured early on?! And if so did they actually get a little fuller once dropped fully in?! Doc said sauce shouldn't change just the placement will change just wonder if the drop/ fluff changes your measurements at all for bra size. Felt they were big few days ago then feel small today also depends on type of clothes I am wearing. Should I have gone gone bigger?!:(. Want a small- D. Huge C

PostOp Day 7

Caddie
I had my first follow-up with PS yesterday and he was pleased with the progress so far. He said the stitches will come out next week and wasn't concerned that one appears larger than the other at this point. It would seem that's fairly common at this stage and they will even out as they drop and fluff. He gave me the green light to get a regular sports bra (Thank God, the one they put me in after surgery is too small and killing me). I got a VSX Sport from Victorias Secret and am totally in love with it!
I've noticed they are starting to soften a little bit and I can actuall "feel" when they are stretching/softening/dropping (or whatever it is they're doing.). It's like a little "twinge" that seems to "move" along a certain part of the breast. It doesn't hurt, just feels odd enough that I notice it.
Another thing thats kind of strange is they way they feel when I have my bra off; like when I take a shower and dry off. I don't know if its the stitches or the actual added weight (which I know isn't really all that much). Anyway, thats when I seem to "feel" the girls most. Its hard to describe, but without the support of a bra its like I feel them sitting on my chest; a sensation I don't have when I have my bra on. The same is true when I move my arms a certain way, like in front of me to drive, I feel them against the inside of my upper arms. Something I never felt before LOL!
I'm still very happy and thrilled, and I love looking at myself in different clothes. I'm just super anxious now for the final results and am fighting with myself to try and remain patient (because I know its a few months off yet).

Great descriptions you gave of how they feel to you now! I forgot about the "heaviness" you're talking about. That goes away for the most part. Sounds like you are doing well!!

PostOp Day 3

Caddie
Well it's day 3 for me and there's really nothing new or different going on. I still haven't experienced the pain I was expecting but I still get tired very easy. I know the girls are swollen, but I'm a little concerned they may be bigger than I had anticipated. Does anyone have any insight into when the swelling will go down or how much of my current size could be attributed to swelling?
