305 Moderate Plus Profile, Petite 106 Lbs, Mild Pectus

Wow, time really passes when all you are doing is studying hah! I've been meaning to post but school started a bit ago and has been eating up a lot of my time. Anyways, 7 weeks already! I can't believe it. I am feeling good for the most part about the BA. The intense sensitivity has died down a lot but is still there, especially in the nipple area. I have mostly regained my feeling although there are parts right under the nipple and then some that are still numb. My chest tightness is completely gone and I am able to lift as I used to now, it just took some time. The skin on and near the pectus has completely gone down which is relieving. I have been doing massages on my right breast (your left I believe) cause it's still a little harder and seems to be settling slower--it makes sense since my right hand is my dominant. I feel like my left breast is completely settled now (though it seemed like there has barely been change with it since day 1 hah!). They're both so soft and squishy, especially my left, it feels just like real breast tissue to me! I have been doing the scar cream although I haven't been great about always doing it twice a day whoops... either way the scars are looking really good to me. As a side note, I've been using the cream on some other scars from surgery and they look great as well. This stuff really does work! I guess the only changes I am waiting on now are just the right breast to totally soften and the scars to go away. I will update in a few months most likely given this will take some time.

As some final thoughts that may help the women reading this and debating if they should have the surgery or not: I am really happy I went through with the surgery. Although it is scary to have surgery (and along with risks and recovery from that..) and such a drastic change I think I had great results and my confidence has gone up. I finally feel like the "real" me, the me I was really meant to be. I feel like less of a meager little girl and more of an emboldened woman. Although I'm 22 and just qualified for silicone implants this year, I would've done the surgery in highschool had I known I'd be feeling this great! I fit in my clothes a lot better and I can wear a lot more cleavage-bearing shirts which are quite fun. I am really looking forward to buying a nice interview suit/shirt/skirt/whatever this year (if!) I get interviews for my physician assistant school applications. Fun times ahead with these new girls... ;)

Whoops! Forgot to add this top as well hah. I also wanted to say the muscle spasms calmed down towards the beginning of this week and the tightness has gone down too. Thank god, the tightness was killing me! I still don't have full range of motion quite yet but I'm sure I will soon.

One last thing, I worked on the 31st and it wasn't *too* bad. I was lifting patients, repositioning them, and other things. My muscles held out pretty well. There were veryyyy small pains right on my sternum and I assumed it was probably the muscle group getting angry. This is also when the sensitivity started picking up. I brought Tylenol to work and it seemed to solve all the problems. I did notice I was not able to lift as much though, which was aggravating when I would be lifting a heavy patient and have to call out to another nurse for help. While lifting the muscle just wouldn't let me lift as much or it would lock up and get angry. I go back to work on the 10th so I am hoping my lifting abilities will be better!

Hey ladies! Sorry for the wait. I've been busy and forgetting to update haha. I'm a couple of days past three weeks I think and I've been doing better. The swelling has gone down more so, but after my last post the nerves starting coming back online and they are PISSED lol. I am no longer numb but instead, the skin over my entire breast is extremely sensitive/painful to touch. My nipples are even worse! The recent cold weather has made it painful cause if they get any kind of cold the nerves let me know they are there and not happy.

I saw the doctor yesterday for a "2-week" checkup (family emergency came up and I had to reschedule) and he was soo happy. He thought they were beautiful and really liked how well they fit my hips and the rest of my body. I have to agree!! I could tell he was very proud of his work and I made sure to compliment him. He asked for me to come back in a couple of months and then suggested I start doing massages. I need to push up on the breast cupping it and push to the inside cupping the breast but not to push down as he doesn't want it slipping or pushing too far out of the pocket. He said these massages are to make sure the pocket stays bigger than the implant.

I was also informed that I get a complimentary scar treatment with the surgery which was so nice! I had no idea. So I went in the early morning today and did that. The woman suggested we do microneedling since my scars were still red and raised. I've had this done to me before as my mom is also an aesthetician. The woman put it on the highest setting I think and it did hurt a bit. A lot like a tattoo but more painful since it was on angry fresh scars (microneedling involves a needle penetrating the skin to cause "holes" and boost collagen production). Tonight, they are now raised, red, and even more pissed but if it helps then good! I also started the scar cream tonight too--something complimentary by Broadway as well.

I attached some photos to show the change. I still don't notice a lot. They look very similar to the first week for me. I also am showing myself in some clothes I bought years ago but never wore cause I felt meh in them. After getting boobs they really added in the wow factor! With how Dr. Broadway did them I can either dress them up or really play them down and look natural. In clothes, they look smaller too so no one has really noticed I've had work done--just as I want it! I can't stress this enough if you want natural and beautiful results go with Broadway!!!
