I'm a little over 1 month& things are great. Boobs are settling in to a much more natural location. As a straight woman, I realize I honestly don't know what real boobs feel like :) so I can only speculate that they are maybe starting to feel like real boobs.
I found that after a couple weeks of being worried it was super noticeable, I'be concluded that no one really notices reasonably well concealed boobs. Which is funny because it also made it clear that no one really noticed how small I was before. I felt like I had a sign floating over me that said 'flat as a board'. So I guess it took a ba to let me be more ok with my pre ba body. Oh well!
I feel pretty great and I think I'll try to start going back to yoga and doing light rock climbing. i think my doctor only recommends limiting jogging, which is fine you me. I hate jogging.
Only 'concerns' at this point are that my left was higher after surgery and still higher and less natural looking. It is hard to get in photos.
Happy healing everyone!

Congratulations on your new boobies! You're going to look great, you have such a nice shape already. I can't wait to see you again at 6 months!! I am happy to hear that you've had a good recovery too, that helps so much. Ha, I also have no idea what real boobs feel like, I never grabbed my friends, lol

Mondor's cord. Ew!
sjmi12345March 20, 2016
So, in tons of research, I never came across this, but apparently I've developed this. The name sounds terrible, but it's like inflamed veins beneath my breasts that look and feel like inflamed tendons. It is a little painful and I look forward to calling my doc Monday and asking for advice.
Anyone else get these? How long did it last? I'd take apoc, but the thought of intentionally making them cordy kind of grosses me out!

I've never heard of this. But I just wanted to agree with you I hate we can't go back! Lol. I have a 6 mo old and do a lot of talk to texting when I have long rants so I can get it out faster than typing and half the time it picks up his babbling! Lmao

I have developed Mondor's cords under my both breasts after surgery. My doctor told me to take one aspirin (8mg) per day and massage them gently. She said they should be gone and I don't have to worry about them. I still have them, but they seem to get better.

Getting back to reality
sjmi12345March 18, 2016
Got home yesterday after a stupid long day of traveling and was pleased with how ok things have been going without the help of a buddy.
Things that went well: had to drive quite a bit and while lots of turns can be be a bit strenuous, it is totally doable.
I work at an office and did my first full day back, no Tylenol and no problems. Just mildly aware of muscle soreness, like a workout.
Things that are a bit challenging:
Reaching really high shelves is tough. Turns out chopping vegetables uses lots of pec muscles... So reconsidering my grocery list :). I have a pain in the butt dog and we went on a walk.. At one point he lunged at something and that was painful and kind of made me reconsider walking him for a while :/
What else? I measured my own bust and it is coming out at 34 B, which surprised me because I'm wearing a 34D post surgery bra and I definitely feel like they look like a C or D from various angles. But I wasn't really in this for notably large boobs and I think they are plenty large.. Particularly compared to version 1.0!

You look great at 10 days! And I definitely think you're gonna end up measuring in the C range when all is said and done...But either way, it's just a letter and they look like they fit you perfectly.
I also have a pain in the butt dog (who is the best dog ever, but still, a PITA :).. A BIG black lab who was never trained to walk 'nicely' on a leash, especially if other animals come around...So that was pretty sucky for a while, but it does get better and I'm now now feeling more confident about walking him again.
Anyway, congrats to you, I'm glad things are healing well!

You are looking great :) Welcome back to regular life, lol
Glad your first day back went well despite the amount of driving you had to endure. I think it might be a bit too early for you to measure as your muscles are still tense and keeping them flat & high in your pockets. I am sure with a few more weeks, your bust will have increased :) Also I would recommend getting someone to walk your dog if you can for the next couple of weeks. You dont want to injure yourself or have any setbacks.
Good luck with your recovery :) Happy healing.

Also, I have a BWD of 13.5 (I'm 5'10" and active) and had my first consult. I'm hoping for a modest, conservative augmentation, but at the same time I hope it will look as natural as possible so wondered what my lower limits might be. I tentatively decided on Naturelle Inspira SRM 405 cc. 450 cc just felt way too big. Did you by chance use the Vectra 3D to help visualize sizes during your consult?
I like this size, sometimes wish I'd gone larger, other times I wish smaller, so I figure they are just right :)
I'm wearing a surgical bra still, so that goes restrict my ability to use bras that get me different looks.
I'll try to report back on yoga & other exercise. I've been biking a lot, but definitely missing other kinds of exercise!
