Yay!! No more compression band, they feel much softer already, though still pretty firm and you can tell I've got some time still to "drop"
Having some "pinching" in my left boob but the doctor said that was normal to have. I can also feel that my left side is more "free" like I can move it a bit more and it's a bit softer than my right side, which I've heard can be because I'm right handed and using that side/muscle more, it'll take a little longer to drop and soften than the other.  
Super super SUPER happy with them and my results so far and have been lucky to have a very level headed recovery. I've heard it's normal for women to have up and downs, negative thoughts and doubts about getting them done or size they got after/ during recovery but it's been peachy and easy - not sure if it's the doctor or the way the meds were divided and timed out or what, but super happy and can't wait to compare a 6 week or 3 month photo to my first!

Hi how are you doing?

Still doing really well! I'm able to do much more now, been almost 7 weeks now? And I've noticed one dropping a little faster than the other but I've also read other girls and been told that your right side will take a little longer if you're right handed. It's so slight though my fiancé doesn't even notice it and I still have a month or two for it to really drop like they're supposed to. All around doing really well!

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?
May 31, 2020
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

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.
