Boob-Greed

So I am a bit sad that most of the "big boobs" look before was swelling. They were just so fluffy it was great lol now they aren't swollen anymore and are smaller. On the Plus side is that they look completely natural but now I'm wondering if I should have gone bigger since I definately overestimated how much tissue I actually had before the surgery. I think they were probably an 'A' cup. These boobs were sized at VS as a 36DD (they size up) and I wear 36D at regular stores. Size wise they sound great but looks wise they look smaller than I intended. Hopefully they change more to what I hoped in the next year, if not they're still way more than what I had :)

I got my stitches out at 2 weeks post. I've been cleared for light cardio and lower body exercises. The surgeons also recommended silicone scar strips for the scars. I noticed yesterday that some scabs came off on the strips so I stopped using it for now, as it seems to need more time to scab. When did you start using scar tape?

I use Bio Oil instead, I've never tried the tape before. Did you get to start using it again? How have your scars been healing. I would love to hear an update. I hope you're well!

Yes I did I let it breathe for about 2 days after and then went right back to the scar tape. The scars are coming along slowly but surely I think. Biggest annoyance is wanting to scratch them lol

These things are heavy

I love how they look but I definitely underestimated how heavy breasts are. Lots of stabbing pains at incision sites when I get out of bed. The boobs are still numb, they don't feel like mine yet. Going to find a couple sports bras today that have a better fit then the ones I originally bought.
