Still love them!
kama88December 1, 2018
Oops, sorry it's been a while. We went to Australia recently - I was slightly anxious about travelling 6 weeks after surgery, hoping I wouldn't have to lift bags that were too heavy, do anything toooo strenuous, etc. It all was absolutely fine! I love my boobs so far.
They're still a little firm and don't push too closely together yet (though they definitely do move more than a month ago), but I'm not worried about that at only 2 months post op. Besides, they're covered up during winter anyway and I'm still in sports bras! Can't wait to start shopping for push up bras/regular lacy bras.
I keep getting random glimpses of myself in the mirror at home, with just a PJ top on or before a shower, forgetting I have new boobs and being pleasantly surprised, haha. There's no pain or discomfort anymore, just sliiiiight twinges in my left breast on occasion, and if I strain too much (e.g. do a big workout) they might feel a little sore but nothing bad. I'm using bio oil daily. My scars look amazing, not very noticeable even at this stage.
Basically the gist of it is - I love my breasts. I'm still so paranoid about doing anything to strain them or 'ruin' them, so when I tried some upper body exercises the other day at the gym it felt too weird and I stopped. Think I'll wait until the 3 month mark to focus on upper body again, and with verrryyyy compressed/supportive sports bras.

20 days post surgery

Hello! An update at (almost) 3 weeks here.
Pros:
- Pain lessens every day - really I haven't felt pain during the day for a week and a half or so now, though I do still have muscle tightness (mostly left breast) and discomfort. This is also lessening daily.
- My range of arm motion is much better, though I try not to lift my arms too high for now.
- My incisions have had no issues so far and look to be healing very well.
- My breasts look better and better! They even look a bit bigger than immediately post-surgery, funnily enough. I think this is because they have settled into their position fairly quickly and the swelling all around them has gone down.
Cons:
- Morning boob. I hate morning boob! Haha. It's hard to describe - it is painful but not in an intolerable way. It feels like something very heavy is sitting on your chest when you wake up. Almost leaves me feeling like I haven't been breathing properly in my sleep. It goes away fairly quickly after getting up and out of bed - within a minute or so, if not less. This also seems to (hopefully) be getting better.
- Sensitivity. Arghhhh my nipples! They were sensitive before surgery, so it's not a very pleasant sensation now considering they've gotten even MORE sensitive. Especially my left breast - it's not just the nipple that's sensitive there, it's the skin just around the nipple too. Even my sports bra against my breast feels unbearable at times.
- I'm fine to go out and walk around, however I do still get a little tired after a certain amount of walking. It's quite frustrating.
- It's also frustrating remembering not to lift anything too heavy, do the housework too vigorously (lol), etc. Pulling the heavy doors in my apartment building is quite a nuisance and something I wish I could avoid, but I can't really loiter around hoping someone passes by to open them for me...
- Other than that, things are getting better by the day, I feel more 'normal' as the days go on, my incisions appear to be healing well (changing the tape every 2 days).
The first time I had to change the tape my hands were shaking and I felt a little light-headed at the thought that I had to peel the tape directly off my 'wounds' haha, but now it doesn't bother me at all.
Anyway, I'll upload some pics taken last night. My breasts look extra 'fake' and round in them because of the shadow that my top was casting over them (couldn't be bothered to take it completely off).

Wow you look great!! Wonderful choice! What is your band size 32? What is your base width? 10 or 11?
October 20, 2018
Thanks so much! I've been measured at 32, yes, though personally I find 34 bras seem to fit much more comfortably and not loose at all so ... I need to get fitted again clearly! As for base width, I actually haven't got a clue :S Sorry!

Hello! I love your results! Im scheduled for BA on Oct 26. My statistics are very close to yours (124lbs., 5' 7") with 32AA. My doctor advised me to get 300cc. He thinks it will look proportional on me and my skin can take the stretching (probably bec he knew i breastfeed for a little over a year last yr). However, looking at your results, i think i want to get your same size. Though 255 and 300cc are not too different from each other. I really want a subtle, did-she-or-didnt-she kind of boob job. Just a little more roundness and fullness on top and i'm good!
October 20, 2018
Hello, thank you! Good luck on your BA, you must be excited :) I'm sure your surgeon knows best - I went with the advice mine gave me and I'm very happy with the results. I think you are right in saying the difference between 255 and 300cc would be quite minimal. Also I have a teeeeny bit of boob greed and I probably would have liked 300cc if it were possible for my frame, haha. I can't say for sure but in my opinion I think you'll probably look fantastically natural with 300cc!
October 23, 2018
Looking amazing! Would just like to ask if you are happy that you went ahead with this surgery? And if you have any regrets at all so far?
October 26, 2018
Thank you!! I'm very happy now :) The first week was tough and I couldn't really bring myself to care about having breasts, haha, but now that I'm past the pain and discomfort, I'm loving how I look in clothing (and without).

Hey! How are you getting on now and how are they looking ? I’m 10 days post op! Have yours dropped a bit more now? Mine are sat very high at the moment x

9 days post
Let's try this again...
kama88October 6, 2018
The first pic is 5 days post op. Trying this again because I have no idea why the photo didn't upload the first time. I'm also going to attach my 9 days post op pic (today). I feel so much better in terms of being able to do things for myself - I can finally stand up for a reasonable amount of time without my back aching like mad, the muscle tightness is still there but far milder. I've stopped taking Paracetamol throughout the day and I only take one in the morning, and one or two before bed, depending on how tight I feel. I can finally move my arms more freely, though I'm trying to take it slow and I'm not raising them too high nor moving them tooooo much.
My left side is far tighter than my right, perhaps because I'm left-handed. So far throughout recovery it's always been the left side that feels tighter/has suffered more pain. I'm still a bit bloated.
Morning boob still sucks.

Looks so good! I’m getting ready for surgery and I’d be so happy if mine came out like yours! Great size
October 7, 2018
Ah thank you, that's lovely to hear! Good luck with your surgery, I'm sure they're going to turn out wonderfully :)
October 7, 2018
You look absolutely great! Perfect! Giving me some hope. :) Mine are torpedoes. I look like Victoria Beckham back in hel old wag days :) Husband is happy (although it is only for seeing, not for touching ye) but I already plot reduction to 200 cc.....Hopefully it is just a bad case of post-op blues. But now, seeing yours, the sun shines again on me :) Thank you for your post!
October 8, 2018
Haha I'm glad your husband is happy for you! I've certainly read some reviews where women took weeks or even months to come around to liking their new breasts. I hope you do grow to love yours - just keep reminding yourself you are nowhere near your final result yet!
October 8, 2018
I keep admiring your results. Mine look dramatically bigger than yours, one week after the surgery. What height and weight you are, if I may ask. Are these tear drop or natural ones?
October 8, 2018
Thank you! Perhaps you still have some post-op swelling, I hear it can last a few weeks? I just think my body has fortunately actually begun 'healing' fairly quickly - they dropped really fast which I didn't expect at all for having such strong chest muscles and so little tissue. I have textured anatomical (teardrop) implants - I'm 5'7 and 58kg.
October 9, 2018
So we're like boobs twins. I'm 5'7 and 53 kg. Ok...so waiting for a paint to dry. I'll just try to keep calm. Congrats on yours, once again. Just perfect!
October 9, 2018
Haha yay for boob twins :) Yeah I'm trying to be patient too - the muscle tightness in my left breast is still frustrating and uncomfortable so I just can't wait for the day it relaxes and my breasts drop and fluff. All we can do is wait and take care of our new boobs for now!
