BA Journey from a Flat-chested, Less Than AA Cup Girl

UPDATED FROM aloe78

1 Year Post-Op

WORTH IT
I am incredibly thankful, happy and somewhat floored that it's been one year already since the BA surgery!! Time indeed speeds by.
Thus far, I feel that appearance-wise, not much has changed since the last photos taken at the 6-month mark. But since then, I have accepted and am very happy with the results :) Originally, I was somewhat disappointed that my breasts still looked kinda 'high' and not as sloping or natural-looking as I wanted it to be. But realistically, I don't expect further dropping & fluffing or major changes to take place now after one year. But I am satisfied and grateful to just have breasts (comparing to my 'before' photos) and I am grateful for the smooth surgery and recovery process. Thus far, no capsular contraction as well and hoping it stays this way!!!
I am incredibly grateful and touched as well for all the supportive comments and messages from this amazing RealSelf community :) Thank you so much for following my journey, and I wish you all the very best for your cosmetic surgery as well! I may not post as often hereafter (as I don't expect much changes 1 year post-BA?), but I will definitely be following your journeys still. Take care and lots of love from me to you always !!!

I forgot to add that the scarring has really reduced over the past 1 year as well! Incredible and maybe if these continue to fade further, I may not even need to apply concealer to the area if going to the beach, spa, pool etc... (:
Thank you for the update! I think you look fantastic :)
aloe78 your results are amazing from your starting point. You must be over the moon
Just to clarify, you got 225cc HP?

6 Months Post-Op

Just reached the 6 months post-op mark this week! Thank you so much to everyone for all the lovely comments, encouragements, great tips and amazing advice which have been immensely helpful :) Thank you also for following my journey!

It has been an amazing journey thus far and awesome to read others' experiences as well as share mine. As of today things still look about the same as the previous 4-month photos. However the breasts do feel become a little softer each day. I am continuing the usual massage (10 min each morning) and also going braless at home. Perhaps thinking to do two times massage (10 min in the morning and 10 min at night) to see if it helps

Will post more photos once the D&F process is a little more progressed :)

Hi!! How is everything going now?

Ego Boost!

Was out shopping and stopped by Cotton On Body (an Australian brand). It turns out according to their sizing I managed to fit into a 32C bra.
I would have happily taken an A/B cup but never in the wildest dreams imagined getting C!
Rational brain: Sizing is relative to band size. So 32C is the technically the same size as 34B or 36A. Also with this brand or this particular bra/design you happened to get 32C. With the other brands you usually get 32B.
Emotional brain: wowowowww C cup best day ever !!!
Guess who won out -- I ended up getting the bra.
If someday I develop business smarts, and basic accounting skills, I will launch a lingerie line where all sizing gives a C/D cup and above ;)

Your results are phenomenal!
Thank you so much, all the best for you BA!
It looks great! It looks like your have dropped?
Thanks, they have not changed much from the previous actually :) I will continue to wait and see!
I wanted to share with you that I went to see my doctor for a 3 months check up. He said my right is still tight (right is smaller than left). He told me to give it 2 more months to drop more. Told me to continue to go braless at home to help it drop. I hope this will help your situation as well.
Thanks for the kind advice :) I have been going braless at home as well. So far not seeing much changes yet but will continue to wait and see. Wishing you all the best as well!
Would love to see an update! D&f can sometimes take 6-12 months for some. Everyone is different obviously, patience is the key! Looking great in your previous post. ❣️❤️❣️ Thanks for sharing your journey.
Thank you for the advice, and thanks for following my journey! Yes patience is a virtue :D so far things are still looking the same but yes it's now coming to 6 months post-op will post an update soon!
