It's been 3 months post op and I'm still healing. Things are still getting situated but Im still in love with my body. For my bbl I looked at my pictures from 6 weeks and I feel it went down a little bit but not by much. You can see the pics and be the judge. It's more then j had before and I'm happy how i look with and without clothing! All my lipo areas I feel are still healing. I had some sharp pains when stretching and sometimes those areas would get really hot but Dr. Hughes as always replied immediately and said it was normal and it's the scar tissue. I have most but not all feeling in my lower back. As for my BA these ladies are still trying to settle in. They have definitely dropped since the last review but i feel they have a bit more to go. I still don't have full sensation around my nipples but it's slowly coming back. My only complaint are my scars. Nothing to do with Dr. Hughes, they are just really dark and that's my skins healing factor. He said they will still lighten but right now my lipo and BA scars are very dark and noticeable. Hopefully now that I'm at 3 months and could start scar cream it will fade faster. Hope this helps RealSelf peeps!

6 Weeks

Finally made it. My six week mark was last Friday. To be completely honest I felt very awkward trying to sit again. It felt wrong and like I wasn't suppose to. So far I've been fully sitting on a pillow. Dr. Hughes advised me to sit but avoid hard surfaces. It's like re-training your butt to sit again. Most of my butt is soft except for the top middle. You can feel it's a bit harder when you sit. I wasn't going to put new photos up but Dr. Hughes said at this point my butt will stay where it's at. So I'll put pics now so in a couple months I can compare and see if it's gotten any smaller after being able to sit. I'm also posting some before and after. You can see that the swelling has gone down and my butt is smaller. At this point I'm still happy with both my butt and boob size. I still feel it's proportionate to my body and crossing my fingers my butt doesn't lose some volume now that I'm sitting.

We are almost the same size! I'm 4'11" and 94 lbs... I haven't gotten a BA yet but this helps me decide on a size to go with! Your breasts look great! And I hope you don't mind but I'm going to use one of your pics as a wish pic!!

Hey! I'm really glad this helped you! Before my surgery I had a hard time finding the little ladies like me, haha, so I decided to post my experience to hopefully help others. Thank you for the compliment and I'm flattered your using me as a wish pic!!! Good luck in choosing your size and let me know if you have any questions!

You are so right. It has been so hard finding someone my size who has had a BA. Did you get silicone or saline? And what profile did you get? Hoping to get mine the first of next year, just researching doctors in my area while I save up the money to get it done.

I got silicone under the muscle to look more natural. My Dr. uses natrelle Inspiria. If you google natrelle you'll see that the Inspiria is like their high profile type. It was 295cc.

New Bras

User Avatar

So I went to Victoria's Secret this weekend to finally buy new bras. Since my surgery I've only worn the one Dr. Hughes gave me (for low cut stuff) and sports bras for everything else. I was amazed and very excited to find out I was a C cup!! I'm posting some pics of how the ladies look in bras. This was 295 cc natrelle inspiria if your guys are comparing or trying to figure out what it would look like. My chest still looks high but I think I have about 2-3 months more before they fully drop. My chest cavity was pretty small.
I'm sure a lot of other small ladies can relate but going from an A cup to a C is going to be amazing. I can't explain how beautiful and confident I felt in the fitting room trying in these bras. I wrote an email to Dr. Hughes thanking him for doing a great job and that this procedure has changed my life for the better. I'm glad I chose Dr. Hughes to do it. In my earlier posts I stated I went in looking for something that fit my body and was very against going bigger than a B cup. After looking at my body, Dr. Hughes recommended otherwise and I'm still happy I went with his recommendation. No regrets! I would never have chosen myself the size he went for. In t-shirts I look proportionate and full and not overly dramatic or fake which is what I wanted. I finally feel confident in a part of myself that I felt bad about for so long and it feels amazing almost liberating. I'm actually looking forward to trying on dresses!
