Night Before Surgery

Its been about a year and 3 months post op and I don’t think I could be any happier with my results. My breasts have fully healed after a year and they’re soft to the touch and depending on what kind of bra I wear, they’re super bouncy but not to the point where it’s uncomfortable. I can sleep how I want, exercise comfortably, although I refrain from doing anything chest related out of my preference for comfort. I don’t like the feeling of stressing out my breast muscles knowing I have foreign objects in it but I’m sure if I wanted to, I could do more chest workouts.

I couldn’t tell you what bra size I am though because it’s tricky. For instance I wore a 34B bra that I couldn’t fully fit prior to my surgery. 3 months post op I started wearing that same bra and I obviously fit it in and it was comfortable so I stayed with it. Because it was lightly padded, not a push-up, I was able to continue wearing it, however, all my other bras that were 34B and heavily padded/push-up no longer fit. Which makes sense because if they did after getting 375CC there’d be a problem right lol. I got sized at Victoria secret exactly a year ago (3 months post up) and was told I was a 32D so I tried the bombshell bra and it fit me so nicely (if you notice, there are some marks on my breast in the picture with the red bra but they’re just from the previous sports bra I was wearing for my healing process). Recently though my boyfriend got me a Christmas present from VS and it was a 32DD and it fit me so comfortably. I wish I took a picture but maybe with the next post I’ll share it because I don’t have it with me currently. So this is why I’m not sure what size I am, I just try things on and if i like how it fits I buy it.

I guess the only thing I wish healed a bit better are my scars. I only used these strips from Walmart for the first few months but then I stopped using them. I didn’t use any scarring cream either but I also don’t really care much for the scarring since it’s not the most visible and the only other person who would see it on the regular would be my boyfriend but he loves my fake boobs so he couldn’t care less about the scars anyway.

My favorite part about my size now is that I can play around with it. If one day I feel like showing them off I can easily do so by wearing a stick bra which allows me to adjust how much of a “push-up” effect I want by bringing the breasts closer together. However if I’m feeling more conservative, I simply wear a sports bra and they look super perky and full and average-sized (maybe a little on the bigger size) but it’s not enough to draw attention to them. I like being able to choose when to let the girls out because I cannot imagine walking around and having all eyes on them 24/7 because that would just mean that they stand out all the time and it would definitely make me feel uncomfortable especially if I’m around family and whatnot. I did this for myself and no one else, so as long as I get to see what I like and feel good about it then I’m happy.

I will say that Dr K did an amazing job however I’m a little disappointed that he doesn’t watch over his staff more carefully. Chantelle is professional for the most part but quite messy as she drunk texted &called me one time which made me feel very uneasy. Additionally, I have an understanding that you’re supposed to go get checked a year after surgery and no one has reached out to me, which is a little concerning. This might be because their office had a fire last year so they might have lost records or something, not sure. I feel amazing so I don’t have any concerns but I think it’s necessary to have that yearly checkup. With the pandemic and everything going on I have decided to stay home and I’ll give it a couple more weeks until things stabilize a bit more before I give them a call. Like I said the doctor was amazing I just wish his staff, Chantelle, was a bit more professional. I would still recommend his work though because his results don’t lie and I will give credit where it is due. This can be a very scary process for those considering whether or not to go forward with it, but trust that if you’re in Dr Ks hands, you’re in good hands. He won’t put any of that teardrop, new implant stuff that is becoming increasingly popular (at least from what I’ve seen on YouTube) in you because he does not trust those brands and there have been so many recalls with breast implant illness. I think in general you should steer away from the newer implants thatve been released as there’s less research and long term results to back them up positively.

Hey guys! It’s been only three weeks but honestly I feel like it’s been a month+ already. I feel 10/10 I’m back to both of my jobs on campus (Starbucks and a desk job). My breasts are already feeling squishier and no longer feeling tight or super sensitive like before and the numbness near the bottom of my breasts is gone as well. I am able to sleep on my side again, not my belly however but that’s fine I sleep on my side more often than any other position anyway. I have been wearing bralettes a lot lately because obviously, no wire is allowed for a couple months post up. I have some tape on my incisions still (they look blue because the dye from my shirt last night rubbed off). I honestly cannot wait until I am able to wear bras again! I get compliments all the time ALREADY about how good and natural they look and I’m super content about that because it was exactly what I was going for. I can only imagine what they’ll look like with a push-up bra or even minimal padding. I know they’re going to drop and fluff eventually but I could stay with them like this forever they look and feel so good! I’ll try to keep posting updates and whatnot for the next couple months!

Soo it’s been a long weekend after my surgery. I went to my first post op appointment and dr kleinman said everything looked good. He changed my bloody gauze and put new tape. I have bruising under my left breast, which is totally normal. Nothing really hurts except that I bought a new sports bra and it’s a little snug and it does create some discomfort at first but as the swelling is lessening it’s getting better. I am still getting used to sleeping on my back, however, it is very challenging for me because I love sleeping on my side and on my stomach. However I’m really back to my normal routine I’m living on campus at school so I get around easily. I just obviously can’t lift anything heavy or exert too much force. My breasts are still a little sore but nothing compared to day 1-3. Also I am not allowed to shower for over a week post op so that’s a little annoying but nothing crazy I just use my wash clothes and wipes. I’m loving my results so far! They’re not looking like “Frankenstein boobs” which is what I expected. They look perky and full so I’m trying to enjoy them while they last before they drop and fluff.
