Growing up, I was borderline anemic

Later I found out that being anemic or anorexic or diabetic, all those nutritional challenges we face during puberty can cause us not to grow properly in those areas that all us girls are so eager to gain.
That being said, I was a 32AA just about all my life and I wasn't happy about it. Not because of boys or anything like that, but because I had a certain look I liked and clothes I wanted to wear, a style that I knew was for me but made me look 12 and I felt stupid moreso than cute or sexy.
So I told myself in high school, I have family who "kept" their boobs after breastfeeding and if I do, great, and if I don't, then it's time.
I have a wonderful man by my side who couldn't care less if I did this or not. Who loves me for everything I am and has been waiting on me hand and foot while also taking care of our 2 under 2 while I'm resting up in bed. His only concern is that I'm happy, and that I do this safely and remain healthy. He's absolutely the best. "What if I go too big, too small? What if I don't do this or what if I do?" - "babe, you do what makes you happy and I'm not putting in my input because this is your thing and I want you to do a size that makes you happy" - you guys, the best support. I'm so proud I've picked such an incredible man. (about 12 years together).

Sizing, Consultation and Post-op

gurl.27

My doctor couldn't have been more helpful. He gave me a few sizers and we discussed what would be proportionate (since I want to keep natural but I also wanted a "happier" set after breastfeeding two years in a row). 

We decided on about 220-240cc of the "gummy bear" implants because those are specifically made for those who have very little tissue (which after these babies was near nothing).  Having a certain amount of days between my sizer try ons and surgery, of course I did the crazy thing and went all over the internet and wondered if I should be doing 350 or more... not taking into consideration that I am more petite and small framed.  I am 5'2 108lbs. I measure about 26.5" around my ribs and 25" around my waist.  We got to surgery day and I told him whatever he decides, I have full trust and faith in what he thinks is best as he already knows what I'm going for, what I hope for, our end goal. I never showed "wish pics" as he really seemed to know exactly what I was looking for just from our discussions. Coming out of surgery, I just couldn't be happier. I am thrilled already and it's only day 2 of recovery. I feel like I'm capable to do more things but I was advised not to, and to keep my arms in and live the trex life for a little longer and it's honestly helping so much more. A lot less of the "extreme workout pain" and I'm just beyond ecstatic with the whole outcome.

Already slightly dropping and slightly closer together but could be the “fluffing” and settling too...

I truly am a novice to all of this, but is wrinkling like this normal?

The wrinkling is from my bra being a little tight, it was going away after my shower and slowly after they started to "fluff" They're still settling so I'll be doing another photo update for my 2 week mark in a couple days
