Dropping, Fluffing, and Scar Progression Pics
WORTH IT$5,950
Here is a quick synopsis of where I started from.
For those who don't feel like reading my novels up above:
Pre-BA: 34B
BWD: 13.5
Implant Size: 400cc Mentor Moderate Profile Plus
Post-BA: 32DDD, 34DD and still dropping and fluffing
Height: 5'5"
Current Weight: 136lbs
***I will not be this size long, I'm only 2 months post-op and still have more settling to do***
For my scars, I use BioCorneum+ as well as bio oil twice a day. I just started using bio oil the week of January 4th, 2015. I've been using BioCorneum+ since my steristrips fell off during my second week post op.
My right is dropping faster than my left... as it has always.

**Two Month Update**
I have been so busy with traveling for work and the holidays that I simply have not had the time nor energy to update this so here it goes...
I notice if I go braless for too long, the implants feel like they're "pulling" down, so I just throw on my post surgical bra, or a sports bra after I massage them a little. That helps a lot and the pain/irritation (it's hard to describe the actual feeling, but it doesn't hurt) goes away. I am also a stomach/side sleeper, so I put a pillow under my chest and I am able to sleep comfortably... FINALLY.
I have been in the gym since Christmas (when I hit six weeks) and have resumed running. I don't have any issues with running/bouncing, but I also where my SUPER supportive VSX sports bras. I have also resumed weight training, but I don't do any workouts where my pecs are the primary muscles being worked... I tried and it just felt weird, and I also felt a small sting so it was like a one rep and done type of attempt. I don't have any odd feelings when my pecs are the secondary or tertiary muscles being worked, but push-ups, tricep dips, and pull-ups are a no-go for now. My focus is to have a svelte figure that only enhances my new additions ;)
I have done very little "real" bra shopping, only sports bras and bralettes. I purchased some 34DD bras, and I'm already bursting out of those, so rather than waste money I'm going to wait until the girls hit four months.
Here's a pictorial update as well.
*Happy New Year

***( . )( . ) One Month Update ( . )( . )***
It has officially been four weeks and two glorious days with my twins and so far, I am LOVING them. A few things I've noticed that I THANKFULLY did not experience that I read others did are:
1) Excessive prescription drugs: I wasn't prescribed any muscle relaxants, antibiotics, or anything else so I was a bit alarmed when I saw my scripts for only two items: Vicodin and Transderm. But that was all that I needed, and I still have Vicodin left. The Transderm patch was for nausea after being under general anesthesia.
2) Minimal Downtime: I did not experience any pain or irritation during driving as others have noted. I live in the DC-Metro area where traffic sucks, and felt no pain while steering through the madness... I was also driving three days after my surgery. I was exhausted from the anesthesia for several days afterwards (maybe even a little over a week), but that was to be expected.
3) Minimal Pain: I wouldn't say that I have a high pain tolerance (I balled like a baby when I had a tooth extraction under local anesthesia), but this surgery just felt like I overworked my chest during chest day at the gym.
4) Serious Bruising: Although the rib area right below my incisions were a bit sore, I did not have any visible bruising anywhere on my body. None on my breast, none on my torso, none whatsoever.
Dr. Richards and his technique resulted in minimal downtime, minimal pain, minimal drugs prescribed for me, and no visible bruising... You can tell that he takes pride in his work.
Somethings that I have/am experienced/experiencing:
1) Numbness on the lower portion of my breasts, in the area above the incisions.
2) Super sensitive nipples.
3) I wear my strap while at home (I work from home unless I need to go to a client site), and while asleep.
4) One breast (the left) is higher than the other, and I massage these babies every day throughout the day so they can drop and fluff.
Random one month facts:
*I have been sleeping on my sides since about two weeks without any issues (I switch sides throughout the night like I'm programmed to give them equal time on each side lol).
*I stalk them daily, my husband calls them my new toys since I "play with them" so much.
*I have a love/hate relationship with bra shopping. I don't like shopping in general, add the fact that I now must TRY ON every bra before I buy it or have to take it back is even worse. But I DO like the fact that I have graduated from the B cup. The sucky part of D/DD cups... if they have my size, they do NOT have the color I want.

Looking great! Love the bras!

December 14, 2015
Thank you. I'm trying not to go too crazy with bras since they're still changing... especially since I'm not a fan of shopping.

December 14, 2015
Lol, I thought i was the only one that did not go straight to the mall to buy bras! My PS asked me what size did I measure in bras last week for my check-up n I told him I didn't know cuz I didn't go get measured, he was very surprised but told me that was good, that I didn't needlessly throw money away ;) but I did go get me sum wireless, pad less bralettes in a medium n already have to go up to a large because they r at max capacity right now, n my boobies have yet to fluff yet :/ so def gonna wait Atleast another month before I buy any expensive bras

December 14, 2015
We are in the same boat. I purchased the VS sports bra because I had a coupon for it to make it $35 instead of the normal $59.50. I figured I can buy it now at that price and exchange it later when I need to lol. So it's been only bralettes and sports bras (with the exception of the one t-shirt bra so I could have one normal bra) until at least month four or five.
