It's been a while! 6 months post-op & breasts are squishy & bouncy
It feels like forever since I've posted but I'm back for an update!
I am now nearly 6 months post op so pretty much at the "no more worrying" stage of recovery.
I got my nipples pierced, which was something I always said I wanted when I had my dream boobs and honestly I love my boobs even more now! But omg I the piercings were mad painful! Probably more than the first few days after surgery haha.
So at nearly 6 months my scars look amazing, still a little red, but barely noticeable! I've been using bio oil on them, and also using bio oil on my stretch marks (stretch marks were caused by surgery), and they're gone!
My breasts and squishy and bouncy, but still feel a little firm. I've come to the consultation that because I had little breast tissue before, my breasts will feel firmer than natural breasts (and of course because I have implants), but they don't feel bad at all. I can feel the implants some times at the bottom of my breast, but again only when I'm looking for it, and I don't hide the fact my boobs are fake, so I don't really care. I have however had loads of compliments on how natural they look, so winning really.
I do still feel a little strange when not wearing a bra, my breasts almost feel like they're tugging when I lay on my back, and it's uncomfortable for to lay on my front but, I think that may change over time as technically it can be a year for everything to be 100% "healed". And I'm also not a front sleeper so not a huge issue.
If anyone else still feels funny when not wearing a bra, please let me know. I'm ok when wearing dresses and things (for clubbing), but sleeping I feel much better in a comfy bralet, which I know won't do any harm, but I want to be able to sleep bra-less without feeling like my breasts are tugging, you know?
Although I didn't get anything done to my nipples (surgery wise), I've found I don't have any sensation in them, BUT I will say I don't believe this was caused from surgery as I could have had no sensation before, I didn't let any sexual partners touch my boobs/nipples prior to surgery so it's something I'll never know, but thought it was worth sharing, it's another reason I got them pierced, to see if I could get a little sensitivity.
The asymmetry is barely noticeable when my nipples are hard, and I feel it makes my boobs look more natural, and it's deffo something I thought I would be may more concerned about, than I actually am.
I also got measured with bravissimo and they've put me at a 30FF which seems crazy! I wear a 30F (with them), as I wanted a bit more cleavage showing and think I would wear a 32D (general bra sizes), however I've just brought from Bravissimo as it's easier.
I also don't wear underwired bras or padding anymore and it's so much more comfortable.
Anyway, 6 months after surgery and I'm still crazy happy. I love my boobs and I'll forever be thankful to Ken and the team who made my dream possible!

BRA SHOPPING!!
I am now 7 weeks post op and looking to buy some non-compression bras. I want to stay away from padding and underwire, as 1. I don’t need it and 2. It’s uncomfortable but I also still want support to ensure my breasts continue to heal nicely and of course, delay sagging as much as possible.
I was going to get professionally measured, but with COVID rules coming back, I do not want to pay for a fitting and do most of it myself, so I’ve done a few online tests and am going to order a bunch of bras, and pick myself!
I am however looking for advice on what bras to get. As above I want to avoid padding and underwire, but still want support. I was thinking triangle cotton bras, you know the ones with the elastic band? But not sure if these would be supportive enough.
Does anyone wear these types of bras and are they still supportive?
If anyone can recommend a UK bra shop/brand that’s good, that would be helpful too.
Thank you ladies :)
Also, look at my boobs! They look so good!

5 weeks post op.
I’m currently 5 weeks and 3 days post op and I’m back for an update after re downloading the app.
My boobs are looking great, they look a lot more wonky in photos than in person and there’s such a difference when my nipples are hard, vs soft, but that’s personally always been the case for me.
No pain at all anymore, a little stiffness still in the morning but that’s it. They do however hurt when it’s cold. My nipples are still crazy sensitive, especially to the cold so I’m using a hot water bottle literally 24/7 because it’s been freezing lately! I don’t know if that’s normal, or maybe it’s just because my nipples are sensitive?
I also don’t think they’ve dropped or changed much since 4 weeks, so I’m wondering if the process slows down now, until around the 3 month mark? They changed so quick in the beginning, like within 2 weeks they looked insanely different but now they don’t seem to be changing much, if at all! (and I am taking photos every 5-7 days, and of course looking at the constantly)
My scars are healing great, no issues and fully closed now, but I’m a little scared to remove the brown tape…my surgeon said it would be ok to remove after 3 weeks, but I’m scared! Maybe I’ll try no tape on the weekend when I’m not at work, and see how I get on.
Im also still sleeping on a wedge pillow, so about a 30degree angle..ish and again im scared to sleep normally (flat and on my side), as I know this can effect healing. Mist sites online say after 3 weeks should be ok, and I really do need a decent nights sleep BUT I don’t want my boobs to heal funny as I know they’re still dropping. I normally sleep in the recovery position, and don’t move much at all, if that makes a difference?
Has anyone else found sleeping normally after 5 weeks ok and did it affect the healing/position of the implant?
I am still so so happy and will be ordering my first “normal” bra on payday. I won’t be getting measured professionally until they’re fully dropped and healed (about 12 weeks), And I also want to stay clear of under wire and padding, now that I don’t need it, so I’m thinking a medium in some comfy, triangle, but pretty bras, which im so excited for!
The healing overal, has been super quick and fairly painless (after the first 4 days or so), and I still can’t believe how amazing and confident I feel. I often feel my side boob while just sitting at work and I squish them every so often and I know people think im mad, but I just still can’t believe I’ve FINALLY GOT BOOBS!
They’re softer than they were, but still a little swollen I think (lots of cleavage), and firm all the way around. The bottom of my boobs are also getting feeling back which is good as they were completely numb for some time, and I can’t feel my implant as much anymore (at the bottom), which I don’t know if that’s a good or bad thing, cause when I could feel it at least I knew…or I guess assumed they were dropping.
I did have to wear a band for the first 4 weeks, so I think I’m subconsciously worried my breasts are riding back up because I’m not wearing it anymore. Hopefully gravity will make sure they won’t just slide back up. Haha
If anyone could let me know how their breasts feel at 5 weeks, so I can compare and know I’m on the right track, that would be fab! Haha x
