WORTH IT
Really pleased with how the girls are dropping. Annoyingly I have developed Mondors cords underneath both breasts. The left ones don’t bother me at all but the ones on the right are more prominent and extend further down. I can feel them way down in my abdomen. I think this maybe why I’m struggling to find a comfortable bra as they all seem to irritate that area. I emailed my clinic to get some advice. My surgeon messaged back almost immediately and advised that they are benign, self limiting and normally resolve after 6 weeks and to massage them with moisturiser. So I’m massaging them with bio oil 2-3 times a day. Hopefully will see some improvement.

They look so good! I would recommend a True and Co bra so it won't be irritating!

Thanks for the recommendation. I don’t think we have those in the Uk. I ordered the Macom bra in the end. Wish I had done it before as it is so much more comfortable than my others.

Wow, you look so good! My wish size would have been exactly like yours. Small and perky. I could not do such small implants due to all the exess skin I have from my huge breastfeeding times and my wide bwd :) but your boobs truly look great. Hope the cord thing will dissapear shortly.
February 16, 2020
Thank you. Just had a quick look at your profile. Yours look great and not huge at all. How are you feeling now?

Hey you look amazing!!! I've been wearing Shock Absorber ultimate run bras from as soon as I got my dressings off. They're really comfy. I've also got a really good sportive bra from Marskies T336366 is the product code. It's underwired but really keeps you supported. Hope you're ok xxx

They look fantastic! I also got 210 just last Monday. Hoping mine heal as nicely as yours!

Hi there! I know it has been a year but just wondered if you know your bwd by any chance? I will have my surgery in 3 weeks and still hesitating about size, my surgeon suggested I go with 245cc but yours look so lovely and natural that I feel like I would be better off with a smaller size.. Many thanks in advance!

Day 12 post op

Felt much better over the weekend.
Still struggling to actually find a bra that’s comfortable though. I bought M & S post surgical sports bra which is supposed to be seamless but does have a seam which digs into my incision site. The other 2 bras I bought are softer but synthetic and I find they irritate my skin after a while. I’m thinking of ordering the Macom bra and seeing if that’s any better?
Saw my surgeon today for my follow up appointment. Decided to do the sensible thing and get the train rather than driving for 6 hours. He was really pleased with my recovery and healing and cleared me to start running on an incline on a treadmill from next week.
Still can’t lift my right arm high ( left is completely normal ) ... surgeon said to give it more time to recover.

Day 8 post op

So having been feeling really well, I’ve realised tonight that I have totally over done it these last couple of days and now feel dreadful. I’m cold, achy, shivery and my right breast which was previously fine is now uncomfortable. On the plus side my left is now ok.
Hubby has been away on a business trip so I’ve been doing pretty much everything including walking the two dogs. I’m currently having to walk them separately as I can’t manage them together at the moment but consequently I’m covering twice the distance. Not sure 12k per day is classed as taking it easy?!
Anyway I’ve decided to have a Netflix day tmw and will hopefully feel better for the weekend.

I think you are going to have. Great result, but for crying out loud lady, take it easy! Happy healing!
February 12, 2020
A wise nurse told me that you only have ONE recovery time. Do it right. Do it wrong and you will regret it.
February 16, 2020
Wise words indeed. As a Nurse myself that would be exactly what I would tell my own surgical patients post op!! Trouble is we’re not very good at following our own advice!!
February 16, 2020
Oh my goodness, I guess not. Well you sound intuitive and aware. And then you have nurse skills. But everybody should follow that advice. I applaud your courage. I breastfed twins, in need of regaining what I had before that, and I'm just too concerned on the risks and that's why I am on this site. Thank you for your help and your posts
