So it has been 3 weeks since my surgery, and the girls are dropping nicely. I am noticing just through looking at photos that they seem like they are getting smaller, not sure how I feel about that. But I am a 34C which is the sister size to 32D, but I dont look like those sizes :/ I dunno, maybe I'm just being a little too critical...I just need to drop and fluff more, maybe I will be more comfortable with how I look. Speaking of being comfortable with how I look, I dont know why but I was wearing a low cut shirt today and we went out to the mall, and I kept feeling SO self conscious I felt like everyone was looking at my chest, and I noticed I would cover my cleavage...I'm not sure why I am doing that, I thought getting breasts would make me more confident. I am just having mixed feelings right now...

They havent even really dropped much yet! I thought I would end up being a B, MAYBE a C, but a D??? I mean I know its a small D, but hey, I'm not complaining! I am also posting a photo of me in my lovely VS bra. ;)

You got finally what you wanted. I do not understand why you wanted big ones, your body is small like mine. The good thing is that they are shaped nicely, do not even look fake. I noticed that the result depends on the original shape of the breasts and not the cc's or projection. Of course also by the doctor's work. You look great.

So its been two weeks now, and I dont really see any new changes! I was hoping I'd see a little more dropping, but not really. I actually think they are somehow getting smaller, tell me what you think! I also ended up going to the gym today, its been far too long! I only did 30 minutes on the elliptical nice and slow, and I was in zero pain. Very happy about that:)

Hello!! First off you look awesome!!! So natural and beautiful! I think your PS did a great job! Congrats! I am currently debating getting my boobs done and I've been keeping up with your story because I love your posts and I think we're close in size. I am 5.2 106lbs and a very sad 32A. I am also a waitress! My main concern with going through with the surgery is the recovery time. How long we're you out for? A friend at my restaurant was out for an entire month :/ when you went back how was it?? We sure do a lot of lifting with out arms and chest.. Thank you for sharing your story!!!

Hi there! And thank you for what you said, as far as recovery goes I'm taking 3 weeks off, because I don't want to be lifting anything heavy like large trays with food which could possibly end up messing with my end results, so I will be back Next week just to be safe. But if you feel you could go back earlier go ahead, I mean I felt fine during my first week post op but I definitely couldn't go back then

I actually don't know what I am yet, I tried on bras 3 days post op and fit into a B but they were so high and it was too early to tell, And even now I had a 36C bra I bought just in case and I fit Into a c cup but think I would fit better into maybe a 34, so yeah I don't know, I'll measure myself for sure in two weeks when I'm a month post op. anyway, good luck to you, and let me know how many cc's you end up getting!:)

I went under the muscle, and don't be nervous! It's really not as bad as you'd think, you'll have it done and think, "gee that was it?!" Lol, so honestly don't freak out. I look forward to reading your story and seeing your photos whenever you do get it done:))

I felt the same feeling, just means your incisions are healing. I also feel that around the sides of my breasts and nipples, its a pretty uncomfortable feeling, but it'll pass in time :))
