Tough to see other’s results…

If you follow the Facebook page, you’ll see a lot of happy gals posting their results. I’m not going to lie, it’s kind of tough to look at those kinds of posts and see visible cleavage. I feel like 700cc, albeit a large amount, just doesn’t look like that much on my body. I really wish I had a noticeable cleavage but I guess with the way my anatomy is shaped it’s not really possible.

On the other hand, I previously thought my hip dip and upper butt fat had died off, but lately I’ve been…feeling its presence? I don’t know how to describe it. Right after surgery I could feel where the fat was injected, then it kind of went away, but now it’s back? It’s so contradictory because in my previous updates I wrote that I was pretty sure they were gone.

This healing journey has been confusing, and full of conflicting things…

2 month update

Measurements:
* Bust: 37”
* Under-bust: 31”
* Waist: 27”
* Hips: 36.5-37”
A bra that fits; 32DD

I’m checking in for my 2 month update.
I went from a 32DDD to a 32DD. I lost some volume first in my right breast then my left. My lipo sites are looking less bumpy than before and i think the unevenness in my flanks is due to mild scoliosis / that’s just how they’re shaped. I think the majority of the fat in my right hip dip is dead and some of my left.

The shape of my body is looking great, I’m really happy that I’m an hourglass. My waist is pretty snatched. I think my shoulders are just very broad, they measure 16.5” across. I think that’s why it also looks like I don’t have much cleavage. I started off with almost no tissue in the middle parts of my breasts, which made them look super wide apart. They’re a bit better now though. Given the expectations were a 1.5 cup increase, I think this is reasonable.

Boob greed is real. I feel like I spend so much time looking in the mirror that I’ve fooled myself into thinking my breasts look not that much bigger though I now measure double Ds. It’s been really hard to stay in my garment too. I just do 8 hours and take it off for the rest of the day. I wouldn’t recommend Caromed, it just feels like the compression is so loose compared to Design Veronique. Looking back, I recommend Design Veronique for the insane waist compression. I don’t think the garment made my flanks uneven, that’s kind of just the way they are.

I’m very pleased with the shape of my belly button too. I want it to look like a nice slit. I don’t have a pouch of fat in my lower stomach anymore, it’s completely flat and doesn’t jiggle at all which I love. Sometimes my belly gets lumpy when I sit and am out of my garment for too long however. Don’t get out of your garment…once you do, you won’t want to get back in.

I can’t really tell if my scars are getting better but I’ve been applying Mederma intensive night cream on them almost daily. I really hope the scars on my belly don’t stick around because they’re quite obvious.

I do kind of wish my breasts were larger but at that point I can only realistically get that done with implants. So far I have to say it’s been worth it and I love the shape of my new waist.

5.5weeks post op, right breast has shrunk, lipo sites are smoothing out

I noticed today that my breasts dropped (you know, the drop and fluff you get similar to implants). They look great honestly. However my right breast is slightly smaller than my left. I’m still measuring 38” at the bust and I’m not sure how to prove it but looking down directly at my chest, I can tell. If I were to hold a chopstick or a board to my nipples, my left breast reaches farther out than my right. Don’t know if my right breast will grow larger, that’s my hope, but I’m pretty sure my left will shrink too.

I don’t really know why - maybe it could be sleeping on my side (which I’ve done here and there for both sides hahaha)? Maybe it could be my right breast has more activity going on because I’m right handed? Not sure. It’s not too noticeable but I hope my breasts don’t shrink any more.
