Three weeks

WORTH IT$8,100
Yesterday was three weeks. Went to my follow up, they removed the steri strips and took pics. I informed the nurse that my right nipple is incredibly sensitive, and she assured me that it is actually a good sign. She cleared me to do massage on the right side as it is not dropping as fast as the left. I also have a fair amount of discomfort in the right one. The lefty is fine, soft, pliable and feels great. Righty is achy and at times feels solid. ?? I’m hoping it just cuz I’m only three weeks PO and I still have at least a few months before the swelling is 100% gone. Scars look kinda raised and dark. She told me to massage them as well. Not wanting to spend a lot of money on bras right now, but getting really sick of the three I’ve been wearing that look geriatric. Any suggestions on non-wire, inexpensive bras??

they look so great. I am day 4 post op and wish so bad that I was at your stage now! I've been doing a lot of bra browsing and Walmart has great options even for bandeau type designs.
What size did you start and are at now? Did you feel a lot of pain during the recovering process? How long did it take you to get back to working out?
Who did your surgery? What size did you start off and are at now. How is the recovering process? Are you in a lot of pain? Can you walk around or are you bed side. Thank you:)
WISH BOOBS!!! Absolutely stunning! I have a TT scheduled in the fall as a 40th birthday present to myself. I’m also on the fence about getting a breast augmentation at the same time. How did you decide on your shape/size? Do you wish you had gone bigger/smaller? How did it affect your wardrobe? Thanks in advance and congrats on your beautiful makeover. Absolute smokin’ perfection!!!

Two weeks

So it’s been a little over two weeks. Morning boob still occurs. Nipples hurt so bad. I’ve been wearing stretchy, no wire bras to help them drop and fluff. I’m glad I went with 345 SRM now. I totally panicked right after and was caught off guard by the amount of swelling. I love them. I feel so good in clothes and lingerie now. So confident and womanly! I trusted my surgeon and he did an amazing job! Can’t wait for these steri strips to come off.

Still high and tight. Morning boob is real! Really hoping they drop...trying to be patient and hoping these are not the beginning of stretch marks! Ahhhh!!

I think they’re looking great so far! Did you do over or under the muscle? I want to go over the muscle bc I like to lift weights and don’t want to take 6 weeks off.
Hi dabooo! Thanks! Patience is not my strong suit. I went under the muscle. My doc said no upper body exercises for three weeks. I’ll keep ya posted on the progress. This site has been a invaluable for me going through this process, so I’m happy to report on my progress to help future women!
Did you get stretch marks!?
I thought they were starting but I haven’t seen anything since this day. My PS gives a special oil blend to his patients and I found it to be super helpful with pain relief and moisturizing.
Congratulations!!! They look perfect. I am sure they look even better by now. I am thinking 255 or 275 moderate. My other option is 295 or 325 cchigh profile. I am 5’6’’ and 100lbs with 11.5chest width. I want to be medium C with natural looking. Did yoi choose moderate or high profile?
Hi!! I went with moderate profile. I’m about 10 days post op and they’re still pretty high and tight. The waiting for the drop and fluff is the worst! Haha! Right now I’m measuring about a 32DD.... I’m hoping once the swelling goes down I will be more of a 32D. I would think the 275 Mod would be perfect! I went back and got sized three different times before I chose the right size for me. When is your surgery date?
Thank you so much for the reply!!! So nice and helpful to hear from someone who has done. My surgery date is on Feb. 7th. Less than theee weeks. Nervous but exciting!
