1.5 months out!
Just a quick update. I'm now about a month and a half out from surgery, and feeling completely back to normal. My healing went a lot easier than expected. I'm in love with the results. It's so scary to make the final size decision, and I was so nervous about being too big or too small in the end. I really trusted my PS and his judgement, and I don't think he could have made a better choice. As you can see in the pics, I have slight asymmetry, but he corrected the major natural one I had, so I'm happy with the result. What I do see, my husband doesn't. It's just a slight difference due to some constriction on my right side. Nobody has absolutely perfect breasts, so it doesn't bother me. Also, my right incision has had some irritation from the sutures, but it's healing better now. Using silicone cream, so it will improve with time. As far as size goes, I haven't had an official sizing at a reputable place. I know VS isn't reliable size-wise, but they're bras are super comfy. I'm a 34dd there. I also recently bought a Maidenform that is also 34dd. Interested to see what Nordstrom or someone like that would size me.
I'm started back at my full workout routine closer to 6 weeks (he told me I could ease in starting 4) and able to do push-ups and all of my normal activities.

15 day post-op
I figured I'd update with some pictures today. I've been doing really well. It's getting less uncomfortable to do the massages. Everything is still very high and tight. I did start getting some sensitivity/burning from the nerves around my nipples, but I had the same thing with my c-section incision, so that's nothing new. I know it'll be gone soon. Feel like I'm getting back to normal as far as movement and activity, although I'm still trying to avoid using my pec muscles (easier said than done sometimes).
I'm SO happy with the size and projection my surgeon chose. Even though they haven't dropped, I can tell I will LOVE the final look. It's so crazy going from literally nothing but droopy skin to having boobs again! And nice ones! I feel more confident and sexy than I have in a long time.

10 days post BA
I had my check-in yesterday and had a suture removed. Everything looks good...still very high and tight, but I was instructed to start massage yesterday. My incisions look pretty good so far! I'm starting to apply silicone gel to them, but I'm really glad he went that route instead of a crease incision.
Pain is essentially gone, with the exception of a random muscle spasm here and there. There is a popping/crackling sound now since I started massaging, and that is very unsettling. But from what I've read this is normal. I am waiting to hear back from my doctor's nurse about my exercise restrictions (just for clarification). Right now I'm just walking and doing squats/lunges. I just feel like I'll go stir crazy if I can't do a good workout (omitting arms) for several more weeks. Hopefully I'll get some good news on that front. :) Still a tad bloated, although I've been taking colace twice a day since surgery and eating a fiber one bar every day. It is improving, but still noticeable to me. Here are today's pics! Please excuse the awful photo quality. ;)
