Looking at my own progression pictures I can tell a huge difference from day one to now!
I’m still pretty sore, if I cold go back and redo all of this I definitely would have taken more time off work before going back. I think work is definitely slowing down my healing, I’m just so sore when I get home and it takes me 2 whole days off to rest and feel better and then I’m right back at work again getting sore. Nothing I can do about it now except take as many of breaks as I can and and tough it out.
Incisions are still healing nicely, a little discomfort around them and some times a little sting or a burn but I think that’s normal. I did notice a “Mondors cord” under my incision down my first couple of ribs, good thing I did my research on what to expect or this probably would have freaked me out
Bought my first big girl bra yesterday! & I got to take the steri strips off and see my incisions for the first time
I had the lady at VS measure me, 32D! I tried one on and it felt great! Maybe even a little tight actually so I almost tried on a DD but decided I should get the D for now. So exciting! It’ll be interesting to see if my size changes later as I heal. I was also wearing the compression bra when she measured me and it pushes my boobs down quite a bit. I told myself I was only going to buy one bra until I’m a little further down the recovery road but I couldn’t help it and I I bought 2! Lol so when I’m released to wear a real bra I’ll have some ready! it was so exciting to buy a bra with no padding and no underwrites and no “push up”, I had always bought the VS bombshell bras before this because they “add 2 cup sizes”.
When I got home I tried on my new bra with a shirt and OMG! My boobs look SO different in a regular bra then in the compression bra. They looked huge! So, so different then with the compression bra. Once I’m able to do so I need to get back to working out and work on my booty! Lol. I was working out every day up until surgery and I was starting to develop a nice booty and some abs and I can already see that going away from not being able to exercise.
Buying a bra today confirmed 2 things for me. #1, I picked the perfect size implants, not too big and not too Small. Once I saw myself in a regular bra and shirt & saw how different that looks I couldn’t believe I ever had any doubts about thinking I should have gone bigger because any bigger would look funny on me. & #2, I absolutely LOVE my new body and I don’t feel self conscious about it anymore. Before today I always hated bra shopping. It was so disappointing to have to buy such padded bras in the smallest size they make. And everyone knows those huge padded bras aren’t the most comfortable either. This is the first time I ever felt happy and excited about going bra shopping. I was like a preteen gel going to buy her first bra! Lol
Also, my dr said I could take my steri strips off today, I was really scared to see my incisions and stitches. I imagined them looking really gross, but they don’t! They just look like little scrapes. It made me even more impressed with my dr’s work. She did a ability’s job closing me up and I think the scars will fade beautifully! I have a stitch on each side that needs to come out still, that’ll happen next week.
Sorry for the lack of updates.
Also, I just noticed I can’t really feel anything below my nipple on the right breast, I don’t remember it being like that last week but maybe I just didn’t notice. It’s not completely numb but definitely can NOT feel much sensation there. I’ve read sometimes it comes back and sometimes it doesn’t. Hopefully it does.... but if it doesn’t I guess that trading a slight loss of feeling for the perfect boobs is a small price to pay & im okay with it. I’m still so happy with my outcome, they are dropping more and getting softer every day. Pain/soreness gets better every day too, if I hadn’t gone back to work so soon I think that I would almost feel back to normal pain wise. The dr said I can just wear the compression band 50% if the time now. It’s funny, when I’m not wearing it and I walk around I can feel a little jiggle in my wiggle! Lol. Since I was so flat to begin with I have literally NEVER felt my boobs jiggle before. Lol. Sooo that’s new and cool. Lol I’ll update with pictures again soon, they have changed quite a bit!
Provider Review
Amazing, I can’t say enough good things about Dr Holt. As soon as I spoke with her the first time I knew she was the surgeon for me. I felt very reassured that I was in good hands from start to finish and even though I’m still on day one of my recovery from my breast augmentation I can tell that the results are going to be just as I imagined when I’m all healed up. Paige is such a kind, and knowledgeable person & doctor, she was straight forward about the good AND the bad of this procedure, she made sure I was well informed about all of my choices, as well as what to expect as I’m recovering, and she spent a lot of time at my consultation and pre op appointment making Sure we were both on the same page. I was quite anxious and scared on surgery day but her and her staff definitely went above and beyond to help calm my anxiety.
