Week 2

Well, I’ve officially it the 2 week mark! My energy levels are still lower than usual, but they seem to be getting closer to normal. For the past several days I have been getting a tightness (like a spasm) in my pectoral muscles. It usually happens mid afternoon - evening. Especially if I have been using my arms a lot that day. The muscle tenses right under my armpit and won’t loosen up. I’ve been going to bed early to try and give the muscles some time to relax and rest. I think the continuing tightness is keeping the implant from dropping into the pocket quite yet. Still doing my massage 3x a day with plenty of movement and swelling is going down.
I’m also having a crazy hard time trying to find bras that are tight enough (I’m 28” or 30” band) but have a big enough cup (DD-DDD). If the band is too loose I can feel myself slouching and hunching. So many places don’t allow you to try things on and it’s making it super hard to find a good fit. I tried target and VS without any luck. I got a couple of bras at Aerie but I can tell I need to return them because they band isn’t tight enough. I think I’ll have to go to an actual lingerie store or order online? For those of you with a small band and big cup, what are your favorites?

They look great! I'm going in Oct. 6 (415cc moderate profile Sientra) and I'm nervous and excited! Yeah I was wondering about bras, too. The mall is closed and there just aren't many stores that have a good bra selection. Hope you have luck finding some that fit!

No luck so far! It's so hard when all the fitting rooms are closed! Good luck on our surgery!

1 week

It’s officially been a week since surgery! My tapes are removed and I have started using biocorneum for my scars. I have very minimal pain - just occasional tightness and weird nerve sensations. Every so often I take Advil, but most of the time I’m good to go. I’ve been making sure to go to bed early, which is hard for me, but I’m feeling pretty good! Still waiting for the girls to drop as they are riding quite high on my chest.
Tomorrow is my first day back at in-person work since March! I wanted fuller results but not super huge or crazy noticeable... i work with quite a few men and I’m starting to panic that they look huge and will be super obvious! Before surgery I measured a 30c and am now measuring a 30dd. Curious if you all think they look to big for my frame. I weigh 115 lbs and am 5’2”.

can't tell if it'll be too top heavy since We can't see your lower figure.

No way girl! My mom had hers and she said it’s all in your own head really. Normally being small chested we tend to wear a lot of padded bras anyways. Unless you wear something tight and CHOOSE to show them off, she said nobody noticed. And she went from being completely flat chested to a large D

Day 5

I woke up feeling amazing after a good night of sleep, but about an hour into moving around today I felt the effects of pushing it too hard yesterday. I took a 2-hour nap this morning and still felt exhausted. I kept cycling Tylenol and Advil today to help with the muscle soreness. I am also continuing with Palmers to soften the skin and help with the stretch. I have my 1 week appointment tomorrow morning! Each day they are looking better and better!

Round or teardrop? And which profile did you op for? How many cc's?
September 8, 2020
Smooth, round mod+ 425cc under muscle
September 9, 2020
What was your size pre op?
September 9, 2020
30c or 32b -- deflated and not full.
September 9, 2020
Much bigger than me then! I am 32aa
September 10, 2020
The number makes me sound bigger than I was! For my small frame, I had relatively wide breasts and spaced apart nipples. So the cup is technically a C but it sure didn't look like there was much in there other than flappy, empty tissue.
