7 months down
WORTH IT$3,500
Hard to believe 7 months are almost up since I had my BR. I am still checking every day that my boobs are still small. I fit quite nicely into a C cup now.
I still have a little trouble with my left side, especially the area where I ripped my stitches, but nothing major.
My right nipple has healed really well, and the scaring has faded quite nicely. The left though, not as well. But my surgeon did say it can take up to 12 months so I'm not all that worried.
It's amazing to live pain free (as in neck/back/shoulder). I never really realized how limited my life WAS. I am running again, something I haven't done since I was in primary school and early high school. I'm even dressing differently. And have so much more confidence now. My last pics didn't upload for some reason, so I will try again :)

I've just hit the 5 month post op mark and wow. I am so so happy with my results (pics to come).
I feel like I have a new lease on life. I'm going to the gym 4-5 times a week (for the first time in years), I've taken up running again. And am loving trying on new bras and clothes again.
I'm still using the Palmers skin oil, Palmers cocoa butter cream and the Bio Oil. My scars are fading nicely. Still can't feel my nipples, but they are working. Sensation is starting to come back on the bottom part of my boobs.
Every now and then I get that internal itch. And the zapping zinging niggly nerve pains have pretty much vanished. I still keep some pain meds on stock just in case.
Every morning I STILL look down my pajama top to make sure they are still there! I often catch myself looking at my reflection in mirrors, windows etc lol. And NO MORE SHOULDER pain! It's amazing. And I can sleep on my tummy without having to readjust myself.
Life has improved for me so dramatically.

Wow - you look fantastic. I am 3 weeks PO and I can only hope my results will be as perfect as yours. I am going to take your advice about the Bio-oil - my PS wants me to use it twice a day now and I am worried it may cause problems??

I think bio oil can be different for everyone. I use the palmers cocoa butter moisturiser every morning, and at night I use the palmers skin therapy oil (from Coles) or sometimes the bio oil. I'm really happy with my scar healing. And do believe the palmers has been a bit part of it. Happy healing to you :)
