So to start, I'm a 22 year old mother of 2. My boys are 2, and 10 months. I'm 5'1, 128lbs. I'm currently a 32C roughly (I'm asymmetrical). I'm looking to have a full D, husband wants a full DD LOL so I'm good anywhere between the two. My BA is scheduled for Dec 23rd at 7 am. I will be seeing Dr. Edds in Owensboro KY, about 3 hours from home. At my consult we decided on saline implants using dual plane. 475cc on my right side, 525cc on my left. I've already had my pre-op, just did my blood work today, and have already filled my prescriptions and picked up all my vitamins and hibiclens. So the only thing I was waiting on was my post op bras, but even they showed up today! So now it's just a waiting game!! I'm extremely excited for my new boobs, but really scared of the recovery. My husband unfortunately couldn't get time off work, and I have no family in the state, so I will be on my own with both boys the day after my surgery.
Updated on 5 Dec 2014:
So I decided to try rice sizers at home since I'm slightly worried about the size of implants my doctor chose. Either I messed them up, or I need bigger implants. They seem awfully small to me. What do you think?
Updated on 7 Dec 2014:
Figured I would go ahead and post my pre-op pics. I won't do [RS bleep] (over protective husband lol) but hopefully it'll give you an idea of my current size and shape. I am going crazy waiting for my surgery date! Everything on my end is done!! I know my husband is sick and tired of hearing me talk about boobs. Lol
Updated on 9 Dec 2014:
So I'm not entirely sure I'm still getting my BA done. The girl I had found to help me with my kids turned out to be a thief. She stole my debit card and used almost $200 and stole my entire bottle of pain meds for my BA. I called my PS office today to let them know my meds were stolen, their is a report, and she has been arrested. But my patient coordinator said she wasn't sure my PS would write another rx because of some law in Kentucky. So if I can't get a script, there's no way I'm getting my BA. I'm not going to have my chest muscles ripped up and saline bags shoved under, then be sent home and told to use Tylenol all while watching two kids by myself the day after surgery.
So basically, this weekend sucked. I'm hoping for good news from my PS tomorrow. I've already paid for this surgery, I'm going to be really upset if I can't go through with it.
And being that my surgery is now two weeks away, I'll only get part of my payment back if I cancel. So yeah.
Updated on 10 Dec 2014:
It's nearly 3 pm and I'm still waiting to hear from my PS office about the stolen pain medication. The patient coordinator said she would call me today, as Dr. Edds was in surgery most of yesterday so she wouldn't be able to talk to him. I just want to know if I'm still having my surgery!! ????????????????
Updated on 10 Dec 2014:
Here's me in my VS bra. They measure me at 32DD but according to my PS VS is off by about 2 cup sizes. If my breasts looked as good naked as they do in a bra, I wouldn't even be considering a BA lol
Updated on 10 Dec 2014:
Updated on 11 Dec 2014:
And he can refill my stolen prescription!!!! Yaaaaaayyyyy! So I am no longer stressed about that, and will still be having my BA on Dec 23! Twelve days. Omg! I can't wait!!
Updated on 12 Dec 2014:
Can't wait to fill them out! Lol this is a bit sad.
Updated on 12 Dec 2014:
I swear I'm gonna! Lol it seems like the closer it gets to my surgery date, the longer the days are. I'm getting so impatient. A bit snappy too. Doesn't help I'm awfully close to "that time of the month", so as my husband puts it: I'm in full blown [RS bleep] mode. Lol ugh. I just want it over with already. I'm tired of obsessing about boobs. I swear I feel worse than a teenage boy. Every time my husband opens my phone I'm on Google or RS looking at boobs. Lol one plus side of this surgery, my babysitter offered to keep my boys overnight the day of my surgery. Because my first follow up appt is the day after, and my P's is 3 hours away, it makes more sense for us to just get a hotel room and crash over there. I'm looking forward to the quiet! Lol I haven't had a childless night since my oldest was born, nearly 3 years ago! It's a same I'm gonna be drugged all to hell. Lol
Updated on 14 Dec 2014:
Do yall have any tips you'd like to share to make the first few days easier? Anything I should pick up to help heal faster? Now that I'm into the single digit days, I'm worrying more. I've got two surgical bras and two lace bralettes for later, Vitamin E, Milk Thistle, a multivitamin and Vitamin C which I'm taking now, and my hibiclens for before surgery. I've still gotta pick up ice packs and this scar away strips. And Tylenol. I'm not much of a medicine person so I don't have any in the house lol Anything else yall can think of? I sure could use the help!
On the plus side, I haven't been having any of those crazy boobie dreams everyone talks about. Lol i am kinda questioning the size since I made those rice sizers but I trust my doctor so I'm not focusing on it. I probably just messed up the measurements.
Updated on 17 Dec 2014:
The nerves are starting to kick in now. I'm terrified. What if the PS messes up? What if my boobs come out worse than they are now? What if I feel like I'm dying from the pain and can't take care of my boys? Ugh. I hate the what if game. And my husband just doesnt understand. He's just like "I'm ready for this to be done and over with" every time I try to talk to him about it. So I'm just worrying internally now. I'm praying for an easy recovery like so many RS reviews I've read over the last month.
Updated on 17 Dec 2014:
Figured I'd add some full body shots pre-op. Ignore the cars bedding, my son's room has the best mirror in the house lol
Updated on 17 Dec 2014:
Updated on 18 Dec 2014:
And I don't think they're gonna fit! :( I bought larges because the size chart said it would fit up to 34DD. I think they lied! :(
Updated on 18 Dec 2014:
Updated on 19 Dec 2014:
I'm getting so impatient! I just want my boobs! I can't stop thinking about them now and I'm constantly on RS. Even though my BA is only days away, it feels like eternity! ???????????? I've even started working out to try to pass the time. And I DO NOT like working out. That's how desperate I am to distract myself.
Updated on 20 Dec 2014:
Not to get this BA. My babysitter called today and told me she couldn't watch my boys the day of my surgery. Three days away. I about had a cow. But after a minor panic attack, my husband managed to talk his sister into watching them for my surgery. Thank goodness. So i am still getting my BA. I'm not thrilled that my boys will be spending the night over there (my surgery is at 7 am, which means we have to be on the road by 4 am to make it on time). My youngest has never been away from me overnight (he's nearly 11 months old). So I'm panicking a bit about that. But I'm sure they'll both be fine. Tomorrow I'm gonna get caught up on laundry and pack the bags for Tuesday, because Monday is too busy with having the X-mas with my stepdaughter and taking all three kiddos to see X-mas lights, and then driving the hour to drop the boys off. At least the next couple days should fly by! Lol
Updated on 22 Dec 2014:
So other than my meds and post op bra, do i need to bring anything else to surgery with me? My dr is 3 hours away so I definitely can't afford to forget something I'll need within the first 4 hours after surgery! I'm super nervous now! I have to drop my boys off tonight with their aunt. At least I know I'll sleep through the night lol I know I have to take out all piercings and take off my earrings and wedding ring. And I can't wear my contacts, or makeup, or even deodorant. So I don't think I'll need more than 15 mins to get out of the house in the morning. Lol aaahhhh it's becoming so real! Now just to get through this day with half my sanity!
Updated on 23 Dec 2014:
Well, I'm gonna keep this short because I just took my first dose of meds. Got there at 6:45. They took my before pictures, let me dress in that lovely gown and cap and slippers, and gave me some Vicodin and diazapram. The. Dr. Edds came in and marked me up. Next thing I know I'm being wheeled in the OR. They slipped my sleeping meds into my IV and I don't even remember falling asleep. I woke up in recovery with a dry mouth, but no pain. Just tightness in my chest. Turns out I got 560/630cc!!! Wowsers! They feel hard and into my collar bone right now. I ate soup from Chik-Fil-A on the way home, absolutely no nausea. Really, I feel fine other than little tightness in my chest, and the pull when I reach or pull on something. The only thing hurting right now is my back, which is why I took my meds. I'll try to get a picture to yall later tonight but I can't take my bra and strap off so you won't see much!

Updated on 24 Dec 2014:
Morning boob ain't no joke! I was so stiff and tight, I couldn't move! My poor husband had to sit me up and bring me my meds. I have a feeling today is gonna be worse. Yesterday was way too easy for me.
First post op appt at 9:30 today so we'll see what up then. Thanks to all the wonderful ladies who have check up on me!??
Updated on 24 Dec 2014:
Well this morning started off with morning boob. No biggie right? Well I guess my body doesn't like the muscle relaxers. Within 10 mins of taking it this morning, I apparently passed out, smashed my face off the fridge, fell to be floor on my left side, and had a seizure, with toast in my mouth. My husband ended up giving me the Heimlich maneuver (ouch!) so my follow up appointment this morning was interesting to explain. I have two black eyes and I'm fairly certain a broken nose from where I hit the fridge, but my implants are okay, thank god! Doc said I'll be very sore and probably bruised, but they still look good. So no more muscle relaxers for me! After the initial pain of this morning (I literally cried for 3 hours straight), Im back to feeling fine. My nose is sore, as is my back, but the pressure around my breasts are back to a 2 on a scale of 1-10. I'm icing the girls as I type this. Lol oh and I'm cleared to shower now, but still have to wear my bra and strap all the time (except the shower obviously)
Updated on 25 Dec 2014:
I just can't seem to stay asleep! I'm up every 2-4 hours, and my back is killing me! My first night I spent in the recliner, but I had a little tear-fest earlier today because our recliner is HUGE. It fits two people comfortably, and it's deep, and being that I'm 5'1, I couldn't get out of it on my own because I couldn't use my arms so I cried like a baby until my husband helped me to the couch. So now I'm on the couch propped up on 3 pillows. It's easier to get up on my own but I'm still sleeping like garbage. Idk what to do. Hubs said he's gonna get me a heating pad for my back tomorrow because honestly, my back hurts worse than my breasts.
I did take my first shower earlier today, which felt amazing. Dr. Edds told me and the hubs to shower together for the next few weeks since my accident this morning, which is fine by me. I was so shaking, I'm glad he was in there with me. He washed my hair and my body, I washed my face. But the warm water felt great on my back. These girls are heavy though! I held them the whole time. I just didn't deel comfortable letting them hang out on their own. I feel like I NEED my bra and strap.
I've also been very emotional today. I've cried on multiple occasions throughout the day. It's like post-baby hormones all over again. My dear husband has been a trooper through it all! He's been camping out with me in the living room since my surgery. He's in the recliner tonight since I took the couch. He's finally in a deep sleep and I'm thankful. The poor man was exhausted, emotionally and physically from the scare of this morning and taking care of me and our two boys. I hope he gets a full nights sleep tonight. But my Percocet is kicking in and I'm starting to see double, so I'm going back out for a bit. If anyone has couch-sleeping tips, please leave them below. I appreciate you ladies so much! ??
Updated on 25 Dec 2014:
I mean seriously. I have to have my husband bathe me and help me put my bra and strap on. I can't put shirts on by myself either. It's pitiful. I feel helpless.
On another note, my doctor didn't mention when my next post op appt is...should I call them?
Updated on 25 Dec 2014:
I'm feeling this weird almost vibration feeling in my breasts? Like an air release? Does that sound normal?
Updated on 26 Dec 2014:
How the heck do I get it all off? I'm terrified to scrub at my breasts, especially the sides and underneath, but my markings from surgery are still very there lol
Updated on 26 Dec 2014:
Left is 630cc, right is 560cc. Left is higher up, and my bruising sucks. I'm bruised on both sides and down my sternum.
Updated on 26 Dec 2014:
And that beautiful blue marker I can't seem to scrub off lol
Updated on 26 Dec 2014:
Figured I'd do a small update. Not much change so far. My left implant is still higher, and I'm actually having muscle spasms today, which sucks. Pain is still minimal, staying around a 2. Except for earlier today, it hit like a 6, but I'm fairly certain that was a result of this darn strap. I hate it. It makes me feel like I can't breathe. But I got the okay from my PS to take my strap off every so often to let myself breathe a bit.
Honestly, the worst part of this whole situation is that i still haven't pooped. I've taken stool softeners and Miralax, and still no movement. I'm so backed up it hurts. Once I handle that business, I'm gonna feel a-okay.
My husband is still helping me with showers. He actually shaved my armpits for me today too lol talk about love! And I wore jeans for the first time. They're tricky to get on but manageable. I'm still just stepping into stretchy Camis and pulling them up. Putting anything over my head seems impossible right now. Lol
Updated on 27 Dec 2014:
With percocets, that is. I have only taken Tylenol today for the pain, which is minimal. I think I was starting to depend on the percocets, which is why i stopped taking them. Plus, they're backing me up. I cant handle the constipation anymore! And I'm getting moody, so no more. So its nearly 1 pm and I've only taken 2 Tylenol all day. Hopefully it stays like this.
Updated on 28 Dec 2014:
Anyone here go for it before the time their PS said to? We had a three week time limit....we lasted 5 days. Lol
Updated on 28 Dec 2014:
I'm still pretty bruised. I'm sore but it's bearable. My left breast is still a lot higher than my right, it's being stubborn. But I did try on my black bralette I bought and I'm pretty happy about how it looks so far!
Also, today is my first day alone with my babies. We're making it so far. Lol I get down on the floor when my baby wants to be cuddled and mostly the two entertain themselves. As for dinner, I do believe it's pizza night. Lol I'm just not up to cooking quite yet.
Also, did anyone else have a lot of soreness on their sternum and on their ribs?
Updated on 31 Dec 2014:
I had my one week appt yesterday, all is looking well. I had my steri strips removed and learned my massages. 10 times a day minimum! I'm also cleared to wear any bra I want as long as it doesn't have underwire. Yay!!! He said if I could, go bra-less around the house. Gravity will help them drop too. Lol sounds good to me!! I only have to wear my band 8 hours a day now, so I'm wearing it when I sleep. Oh and I don't have to sleep inclined anymore, but I did last night just because I'm still not used to the weight on my chest. Other than that, no big changes to report. Leftie is still big and bad. lol hopefully the massages help. I go back in 3 weeks to my PS. As far as how I'm feeling, pretty good. I'd say about 75%. I'm still not picking up my kiddos, or really anything heavy. But I did manage going grocery shopping today with the hubs and kids, and I've done three loads of laundry so far. Lol I still haven't tried driving, mainly because that would involve picking the baby up to put him in the car seat, and I can't do thT quite yet. Oh and morning boob feels like death still, as does sitting for long periods of time (like my 3 hour ride to my doctor)
Updated on 31 Dec 2014:
Figured I would add some pics of my incisions and the girls when I'm laying down. I feel like my incisions are farther to the sides of my breasts than they are centered.
Updated on 31 Dec 2014:
Today is the first day since my surgery that I've done housework, and the second day I've done my massages. I don't know which one is to blame, or maybe a combination of the two, but my breasts are really sore to the touch and feeling a bit more hard/tense than they did yesterday. It's kinda freaking me out! Could it just be my muscles spasming from doing too much today? Anyone have experience with this?
Updated on 31 Dec 2014:
How long did it take your "girls" to at least start dropping? I don't feel like mine have budged an inch. :(
Updated on 1 Jan 2015:
Well I thought I broke my right boob today. I attempted to lift my 19 lb baby for the first time today and my right breast has been extra sore since. Then after massaging a bit, I noticed it is a lot softer than yesterday and it actually bounces a bit. Went to the mirror to look, and it looks like it has dropped a lot. My left however hasn't moved, so I'm extremely lopsided and it's kinda cracking me up. Lol of course it's only noticeable in pictures when I'm nude, and I promised hubs I wouldn't post [RS bleep], so I have nothing to show. But it's definitely lower than leftie. Guess I need to start massaging leftie more now. Idk if massaging did it, or lifting the baby since I'm right hand dominant..
Updated on 2 Jan 2015:
I'm loving the new proportions and the bloating is nearly almost gone from my stomach, which is awesome! So I figured I'd update some pictures of the girls. This is just my nude lace bralette and a tank top. I'm kinda curious/scared how much bigger they're gonna get once D&F fully happens and I put them in an actual bra lol
Updated on 2 Jan 2015:
My breasts are quite warm to the touch, but my thermometer isn't reading a fever. Just wanting to see if my incisions look okay to yall? The last thing I want is an infection.
Updated on 2 Jan 2015:
Figured I'd post this to show where my implants are. My fingers are at the top of each implant. Righty is way lower already.
Updated on 4 Jan 2015:
When your implant dropped, did your breast feel lighter and softer? My right one is feeling so light and soft and jiggly today that I actually had to feel for the implant, I thought I had deflated! :/ is that normal? My left breast is harder still and the implant is still a bit high.
Updated on 7 Jan 2015:
Overall, I'm feeling pretty normal. Only certain movements hurt anymore. I can lift my baby just fine, haven't attempted the toddler yet. He's a hoss. Lol I'm fairly certain all the swelling is gone now and to be honest, they feel a bit small...I know that sounds crazy given the implant sizes I got, but I swear my body just ate up all the cc's!! I went to VS yesterday and got a wireless bra on sale ($16.99, woot woot!) and I'm a bit disappointed with the size- 34DD. Once again, I shouldn't be upset because I asked for a full D/small DD. I guess I just got used to the size they were with all the swelling. Here's to hoping they get a bit bigger as they "fluff". also, I think my right is completely dropped and my left is nearly even with it now. They're jiggly and soft (unless I use my muscles a lot, then they get hard as the muscle spasms). My incisions I think look pretty good for 2 weeks post op. I'm not using anything on them right now, probably won't start until after I see my PS on the 20th. Any suggestions on what to use then?
Updated on 7 Jan 2015:
I decided to do a comparison picture. The top is day 5, bottom is today (day 15). What do you ladies think? I'm thinking they've dropped quite a bit.
Updated on 8 Jan 2015:
Next week I can start "light aerobic exercises". I live in southern illinois, it's currently freezing balls. Lol What kind of things can I do inside the house to start working some of this weight off? I'm feeling extra chubby after weeks of doing nothing. :(
Updated on 10 Jan 2015:
Is that I can't find bralettes that fit well! They're either too tight on my breasts or too loose underneath. It's a bit frustrating. This pink one is an XL. It's huge around the band, but I had too much side boob in the L. Any suggestions on that ladies?
Otherwise, I'm feeling pretty good. I'm still easily tired, but that could just be because my time of the month is approaching. Lefty is still big and bad and beginning to aggravate me. I just want it to drop already. I'm wearing my strap every night and massaging every day. I love my right breast. They're getting squishier every day. I'm ready to see what Dr. Edds has to say at my next appointment. Hopefully all looks well. I included pics of my incisions. One looks better than the other. Not sure why. Also, never got an answer before, but what do you ladies suggest for scar treatment?
Updated on 11 Jan 2015:
I am beyond ecstatic today! I put on my 34DD VS wireless bra today and I'm popping out of it!!!! Aaahhhhh! I'm so excited! Lol I know I just bought it and I probably shouldn't be happy about wasted money lol but that means the girls are "fluffing" and I'm getting bigger!!! :D I can't wait to see my final size! Is it bad that I'm hoping for a DDD or bigger? Lol
Updated on 14 Jan 2015:
My left is still irritatingly high, making me look lopsided. I'm pretty tired of waiting on it to drop. I tried on my old bathing suit tops today, and literally laughed out loud. They're all ridiculously small. I've attached pictures for your amusement. Other than that, nothing new to report. I probably won't do another update until after my doctors appointment next week.
Updated on 17 Jan 2015:
Looks like lefty is finally starting to drop!!! I'm excited! So yall are getting picture overload! This is bra-less. I'm loving them more and more each day.
Only one complaint: I started getting those "zingers" today and oh my ouch! They hurt! How long do they usually last?
Updated on 21 Jan 2015:
I had my one month appointment yesterday, he says everything is looking good. My right breast is nearly completely dropped. My left one is still riding high (which I knew). He said it's not capsulated which is good, it's simply dropping slower because it is the larger implant (70cc more) so the tissue has more stretching to do. Just keep vigorously massaging daily! I don't think falling on it the day after surgery helped either lol oddly enough, my left incision looks amazing compared to my right. I go back in 8 weeks to get my after pictures taken and if everything looks well, I'll be cleared for regular bras!! In the meantime, lots of massaging and keep taking my multivitamin, Vitamin C, E, and Milk Thistle! Lol lucky me! So here's my updated pictures, I included different arm positions and one to show where my implants are sitting.
I'm feeling 90% back to myself. My range of motion is getting better every day, and I can lift both boys better. Other than the zingers, all is well over here. (:
Updated on 24 Jan 2015:
So I need some recommendations on where to go to get a good sports bra! I've pretty much been going bra-less or in ill-fitting bralettes since getting my BA. And I want support! I'm not cleared for underwire yet :( please help me out ladies!
Updated on 25 Jan 2015:
The last few days have been a bit blah. I like the side view but I feel like they look small straight on. And with clothes on. Naked they look bigger. My husband says they're big enough but I just don't feel it. Am I crazy? Do you think they'll look better from the front once they finish D&F? Bigger maybe? Idk. I'm kinda wishing I had gone bigger, or maybe did Moderate Plus profile instead.
Updated on 28 Jan 2015:
Updated on 29 Jan 2015:
Got a new bathing suit and a new bralette in from VS online! Love both of them, the swim suit actually covers my boobs (thank god!), but I definitely feel more motivated than ever to get my butt in shape! I really want to rock this suit this summer but in the shape I'm in now, I'm not doing it justice :/
Updated on 31 Jan 2015:
My best friends son is having a bday party so I got the girls dressed up (casually). Still just wearing light bralettes. Headed out! Yay a room full of screaming kids! pray for my sanity! Lol
Updated on 8 Feb 2015:
And I finally went to VS and got two new sports bras! I'm so tired of not having support and these two feel amazing! I ended up buying both, one in gray and one in pink. What size you ask? 34DDD!!!! :D I'm so excited! They fit so well and now I can start working out comfortably. I do believe I'm going running tomorrow before I start my day. It's my baby's 1st birthday today and his party is tomorrow so I will be a busy bee.
As for an update, I feel completely normal. I can sleep on my stomach now. No pain really, other than my lightning bolts that come occasionally. My nipples are still sensitive but not painfully anymore, thank goodness! Now I'm determined to get my butt in gear and lose this excess weight I'm packing. I included pics from VS and incision pics. I'm still not using anything on my scars btw. I still haven't bought an actual bra yet, but these two are so supportive and comfortable, I'm not in any rush. Lol I hope all you ladies are healing well!
Updated on 8 Mar 2015:
I only have two complaints:
1. I've got a BUNCH of new stretch marks on my new girls. Thankfully they are only on the bottom.
2. I think my right incision has broke open. I had a bit of blood in my bra the other day. Idk what's going on with that. I'm gonna call my dr tomorrow. I noticed it a few days ago but we were in the mountains of TN vacationing so I didn't have [RS bleep] for service.
Other than those two things, I feel normal. No change really.
Updated on 18 Mar 2015:
And I've finally started looking for swim suits. I ordered 3 online from VS but of course two of them are back ordered. I'm waiting to get them all in to see which one(s) is/are worth keeping. But one is in and I'm not sure about it. I feel like I've got TOO much boob for it. What do you ladies think?
Also, I'm 3 months PO and I'm still getting zingers! Is that normal?
Updated on 19 Mar 2015:
If so, what did you do/use to protect your scars? Mine are in the crease and I'm terrified of making them darker with UV light, but as you can see from my pictures, I'm uber pale. Lol help?! :(
Updated on 23 Mar 2015:
Today was the last follow up appointment with my PS. I don't have to come back unless I'm having a problem. He said my incision looks fine, it's healing well. I'm cleared completely and the only restriction was to avoid UV Rays because of my scars. They also took my after pictures, I'm hoping they'll send them to me? (They gave me my befores at my first follow up appointment) Anyway, I feel totally normal. No problems sleeping on my stomach. I still avoid chest exercises, but I did start Brazillian Buttlift last week (the exercise dvd, not the surgery lol) and I'm starting the Slimfast diet. Here's to hoping I can lose another 10 lbs! I started using Bio Oil last week too so hopefully it helps with my scars and stretchmarks!
Updated on 27 Mar 2015:
I only own two bras, both from VS. They are size 34DDD. I thought they fit fairly well up until last week, now I'm getting what I refer to as "muffin boob". I'm bubbling over the top of my bras but just fyi, that's hard to capture in a picture. Lol it's so weird, I have muffin boob but I have a lot of extra space in the side of my cups by my armpits. Is that normal? so my question is, where do you ladies go for bras?! I'm officially maxed out of sizes at VS. :( also, do you go up or down a band size if you measure between? My band measures 33, I'm wearing a 34 band, is that right? I wore a 32 band before my BA.
Updated on 28 Mar 2015:
I'm noticing more and more that my nipples are not even. I'm kinda hoping that my left drops a little more to even them out, but at three months post op, I'm really doubting it'll happen. :( other than the unevenness, I'm really happy with the shape.
Updated on 10 Apr 2015:
So I decided to join a gym for the first time ever. I'm on week two, and so far I love it! Some movements still feel weird (like the fly machine) but for the most part, I feel awesome. Just sore everywhere lol if anyone has some gym routines that work well for them, I'd love to know about them! (: My bras (34DDD) that were fitting snug are now fitting comfortably, so I guess I'm losing breast volume from working out. Still no movement on the scale though :(
I've been using Bio Oil on my scars and stretch marks, I don't think its really helping much so far. But at least my right incision is fully closed now.
Other than that, there's really nothing to report. Hope all of you are doing really well!

Well, if you've kept up with me this far, you know i was borderline for a lift on my right breast, and I opted out of it (I didn't want the scar and at the time we were talking about a third baby down the road some). Well, I probably should have went with the lift, my nipples are uneven now because of it. That's irritating but I have no one to blame but myself; my PS warned me. So whenever I rupture one of these bad boys, I'm gonna get the lift. Other than the nipple unevenness, I LOVE my boobs. They're soft and bouncy and squishy. Yes people, saline IS squishy if done properly!!! I've gotta wear heavy duty sports bras for the gym because too much bounce is still uncomfortable, but I'm not even complaining. Dr. Edds did exactly what I wanted, filled up my loose skin and made my boobs the same freaking size. I'm happy! I'm including pre op pics so yall can see the awful shape I was in before, and pictures of now in the same tank top. Oh and incisions pics. I think the bio oil is helping!

Everything is great here! Still hitting hard at the gym. No real change in my weight, but I feel stronger. Lol I have been tanning too, so I'm feeling back to normal again. Ordered a VS bathing suit but it's on backorder of course! I'll let yall know when it finally arrives. Really, there's nothing new to report on my boobs. Everything is back to normal. I can sleep on my stomach just fine. I still go with lighter weights on chest workouts, simply because I don't want to risk hurting anything. But other than that, nothing major to report. I'm adding updated pics of my breasts and incisions. Just a reminder for anyone checking my review for the first time: I'm 5'1, 137 lbs. I started as a 34C/D (asymmetrical), and received 560/630 cc saline implants, placed dual plane. I'm currently a 34DDD at VS.

Hey ladies! Not much to update as far as my boobs go. I still love them. They're still amazingly squishy and still no visible rippling. I was borderline for a lift so I think mine look way more natural than you'd expect, especially from saline implants. Lol My scars are looking pretty good. One thing yall might notice that's different: I'm posting [RS bleep]! My husband and I separated last month and he was the reason I wouldn't post before, so here ya go! I'll try to hunt down my before pictures sometime this weekend and post them too! If yall have any questions, just fire away!
