5 weeks PO...here's a timeline of pics. WOW is all I can say!
Well...hitting my 5 week PO anniversary already. I'm still wearing sports bras, I will get fitted for a bra when I return home. My scars look good, my hubby was taken back when he took a peek at it the other day. His response was.."where is it?!?"
I'm now able to sleep comfortably on my side now. They are really starting to feel like mines now. Still a little weird sensitivity at the lower/bottom part of my left, but no biggie. The only one thing I can complain about are my pre-stretch marks are visible (boooo to stretch marks!!) since all swelling is gone, but I'm still applying the vitamin E oil to my boobs daily to prevent new ones from appearing. I'm also applying to the incision scar.
I'll be sending my doc pics, since they can't get me in until mid Aug for a follow up.
All is good...Happy with my size, happy with my progress thus far.

Have you gotten sized yet?

July 13, 2013
I'm not sure D37, thought it was too early as I've read the boobs will change within the first few months. No swelling...all feels & looks good, just Dropping . Do you think Im good to get sized, I would love too...my fear was If I get sized and they change. I've noticed my under amour sports bra I wore Initally is way looser, which is to be expected due to initial swelling. ( you're the expert) hehe. I really need to get a flight or road trip to Ala too see Hedden, just been in and out of town a lot, or just busy when I am home. Now I'm in St Thomas, so things will slow down a bit when I return. :-/

When you do come, maybe we can meet :)
LOL not an expert, just ask alot and get as much knowledge before I jump in! Saves me from hitting the bottom too hard, lol. :)
About the bra- my zip front did get loose, but the one that have hooks, I just made those tighter.
I was told I could start wearing underwire bras at two weeks. Dr S said I didn't have to worry about the size changing. And it didn't. Now to me I "look" smaller because the implants have dropped and I'm much fuller in the bottom pole than the top now. But size wise I'm the same.
I think you would do ok for a fitting, just don't buy alot of bras in case you do change significantly. If your swelling is gone i don't think size wise you will change and you'll be fine.
I went to Dillard's for fitting and the second lady I had was experienced in fitting augmented breast. She was great and taught me a lot.
She stressed importance of getting a good bra where the support comes from the band- not the cup. Also she said that some will try and sell you a product that may not be great for you but still fits. For example I wear 34DDD. If I go to VS (experienced this) and they are out of 34DDD they may say you can wear 36DD. She said that's is not good because if the support comes from the band and the band is too big and gaping your breast will have to be supported by the cup/straps causing uncomfortableness. I've actually experienced this and is true since my girls are about 5#'s! Lol
The first person who measured me was not experienced in fittings and I ended up with the wires digging into my chest- horrible!! They exchanged for a right one though which was good.
I will tell you though, with some lacy bras- I go down a size to fill the cups out better. (Shhhhh... Don't tell but I just bought a new navy and cream set for after surgery) giggle. Maybe ill wear them for my girl's 10 month birthday in September ;) my tummy will be almost 2 np months by then. Lol
My breast changes summed up, maybe this will help you see how you'll do ( remember, you are HP I'm Mod plus so the changes will be some different- you will stay alot more projected than mine- although I have alot already,lol)
Initially
high(about 2" under my collar bone)
Round
Alot of side boob
Lower pole flatter
Upper pole very round
Firm (not hard)
Now:
Lower ( top of implant about 1 1/2" from my arm pit level)
More tear drop shaped
Sloped upper pole
Some side boob ( just enough to make sleeveless shirt, umm cute ;))
Upper pole has cleavage, but less "roundness" still round but not like little balls any more
Lower pole round full (I think pretty and sexy looking)
Entire breast soft, moves and jiggles like breast should.
Incisions are really light and the ridge is softer-there are places that the adhesion ridge can be felt, but over all healing exceptionally!

Well in my eyes you are. :-) Makes sence. Swelling is gone completely, so I guess I should be good. I've brought an array of sports bras...can't wait to buy a few sexy bras. When I get back to the states I will get sized by Dillard's. Can't wait to hear the mystery size...haha. I would love to meet!!! I want to shoot for seeing Hedden Friday...I'm going to call Tom as I'll be back in the states Tom (Thursday). It's so last min, my intent was to call earlier this week, but it kept slippingbmy mind. So, we'll see.

July 18, 2013
Yes had a blast!! Coming back today:( Called the ofc, they can't see me til Aug 9. That's what I get for having this hectic schedule. I'm going to shoot him pics, later today to review. I've been off all summer, so work starts next Monday, so my schedule gets even more compromised. Urrr I'm going to contact Heather, the out of state coordinator to see if she can manipulate something for me. It shouldn't take any longer than 15 mins to see me. We'll see.

July 18, 2013

Glad your summer has bed great! Can't believe it's almost over!!
