7(ish) weeks post op!

I totally meant to update sooner! Time has flown by! To start out, I LOVE them, they are everything I wanted them to be. I can't express how much better they've made me feel about myself , I don't know if that's vain but it's true. I feel so much more at peace with my body and I feel like I'm more myself now with them than I was before without them, as strange as that sounds. I had a surprisingly easy recovery, I remember I had full range of motion in my arms at my one day post op apt and they were impressed I could already put my arms all the way above my head. I am a whimp when it comes to pain so I know that it was just the mixture of the pain pills I was taking and having a skillful surgeon that made recovery a breeze. At this point I am very much happy with the size and shape of implant I picked, they give me the look I wanted.(350cc round smooth sientra mod profile silicone) here's a few photos, I will add more later!

The girls have arrived!!

Had my BA today! Went super well! I'm not too much of an emotionally expressive person but right before surgery I felt like almost crying tears of happiness, excitement and just relief from years of feeling so embarrassed and self conscious. And that to me was a true testament and confirmation that I was making the right choice for myself. I haven't felt any true pain, just some tightness. I'm guessing that I still have some anesthesia left in me and that's preventing me from really feeling it. I've also taken my pain meds and muscle relaxers religiously thus far. I guessing tomorrow will be much worse but we will see. I haven't actually seen them in the flesh, I have to wait til my post op apt tomorrow but here's a pic of them in the bra, the profile looks a lot better than I was expecting for just having them done today! I am (cautiously) very happy, I am prepared for "boobie blues" that will most likely come at some point but for the moment I feel great.
I ended up with smooth round silicone sientra 350cc moderate profile (moderate profile in Sientra is the same dimensions as 350cc moderate plus in mentor, for reference!)

Pre op and before pics

These pics were extremely hard to take and especially post because
1. This is my biggest insecurity and I'm posting it on the Internet
2. I had no idea how to take boobie pics, never had a reason to before ;) lol so I grabbed my selfie stick and went to town
Butttt, I know this is an important part of the boobie journey so I sucked it up and did it
As I'm writing this it is Wednesday night and my surgery is next Monday morning. 4 more days and 5 more sleeps. I am soaking up each night of laying on my stomach/side.
Had my pre op Friday, it went well. We narrowed it down to sientra smooth round silicone in either 350cc moderate profile or 355cc moderate plus profile . My surgeon is worried that my tissues and muscle will be so tight that they will really compress the implant and I might need the moderate plus for it to look right. My biggest fear is them looking fake (oh the irony, as I'm preparing to insert silicone into them), I don't want people to be able to take one look at me and be able to tell, I want that "wow she's naturally blessed look". I'm so worried that this size will be too big but my surgeon doesn't want to go lower with my height and chest width... He asked if I would be comfortable letting him have the option of 385cc if there was an unforeseen asymmetry or if they looked smaller than expected. He said to tell him on surgery day and I think I'm gonna say no, I know it's not much volume at all but I'm just not comfortable.
Anyone have an advice on what to buy for surgery recovery??
