3 weeks post op today! Healing update.
At this point I pretty much think my PS is an artistic genius! I'm in awe of what he has done. My pre surgery boobs were some of the worst I've seen on here and to think I could get a result even close to where I am at this point is truly remarkable to me.
They look so natural and the shape is pretty special, so far my new nipples are pretty spot on too.
I've gotten used to the new size of them now so thats good. I do think that although I freaked out initially, they do suit my body and any smaller might have been out of proportion to my hips, butt and thighs.
But even though I am pretty damn happy so far not every thing is perfect just yet, but then again it probably shouldn't be as I'm still pretty early into my recovery...
My PS is a perfectionist and a highly skilled specialist in my type of procedure. I am a perfectionist too if I'm honest and this is why I picked him! Anyway while overall I am becoming more and more ecstatic with my results as each day passes I do have a few little things that do bother me and that I hope will resolve over the healing process.
I'm listing them here not only for anyone that might be following my journey but to also keep a record so I can discuss these concerns with my surgeon later.
1. My left breast is still substantially bigger than my right, I'm sure it's just more swollen and they are healing at different rates. However it makes my cleavage uneven and It causes an indent and from my surgical bra and so when I take the bra off I have a visible lump in my upper pole area. That breast is just generally fuller than the right one. (The right had a reduction prior to implant) and while I don't mind the fullness of it, it doesn't match the other side which is less full in the upper pole and much softer.
I must admit I do prefer the size of my smaller right breast but prefer the fullness in the upper pole in my left breast as it's a nicer shape in clothes. This make me wonder if I should have gone with a round shaped implant? Apparently my implants are between a round and teardrop shape.
2. My nipples I really wanted to get right.
I find small areoles so sexy! And can't tell you how many times I did said "small nipples" to my PS.
I think the size is right but my left nipple is slightly bigger than the right nipple. I really want as much symmetry as possible here so I'm being pretty picky. Also in some pictures they feel a bit low and wide out, I don't particular like it when they look like one is going East and the other West you know why I mean?! But I think it's just hard to capture pictures of them and at different angles they look different obviously.
All in all though I think the size is spot on and thy look pretty damn good considering they were chopped off, cut up with cookie cutters and then reattached just three weeks ago! So I'll just give them the time they need to heal...
3. And this is actually my biggest concern, my boobs are starting to look really uneven when I lay down. My smaller less full breast is trailing off again and heading onwards my armpit, when I lay on my side it's even worse and I feel like I've still got some loose skin there that might need more tightening to fix this. It's definitely a lot looser feeling than my left fuller feeling breast.
It's minor but considering I've had this loose skin all my life and hated it, I would probably want that fixed if it doesn't settle and correct itself.
4. My cleavage gap is slightly closer but still a little wider apart than I would have liked. I'm not sure this will change that much to be honest as you can only work with what your body will allow with under the muscle implants and the only way I probably could have got them closer is by using a bigger implant or going with overs. Neither one of these options sold have worked or me!
My gap is currently two finger widths apart which was the preference of my PS for my size and shape so I think it's here to stay.
What will be good though is as they soften up a bit more I should be able I squish them together a bit better with a bra etc.
To me they look best when I've just taken off my compression bra as this brings them in closer but as soon as the bras been off for half an hour they relax out wide again.
On the plus side my side boob has improved heaps so they definitely don't look as wide as before!
Anyway I'm going to give everything plenty of time to settle and relax into shape but I will definitely discuss these little things at my 6 week follow up appointment with my PS.
To summarise my healing process so far...
I am very happy (just picking at a few things that could be perfected)
I love sending cheeky selfies to the hubby as he is crazy for them!!! I miss sleeping on my tummy so much! I miss picking up the kids but surprisingly everyone is coping really well with mamas limitations. I miss exercise and even after just three weeks of slacking off I feel soft and floppy around my thighs and bum. One more week and I should be able to start back with light cardio/leg/bum work.
I'm pretty much pain free too, breasts are hard upon waking but soften up shortly after, I do get a bit tender after removing the tape weekly and experience some tenseness around the nipple and incisions. I also still feel fluid around my left breast from time to time but this is all in the range of normal.
And that's a wrap for my three week update.
Will update as things change or at 4 weeks to check on incision healing.
Happy healing everyone!

18 days post op - finally I'm up to date! And might I add much much happier with my results so far!
Hi guys!
Here are a few new photos that I took yesterday at 18 days post op.
Sorry for all the [RS bleep] and selfies but I'm just so much happier with my results and wanted to convey that to you all (well that's if anyone's actually following me and reading my super long journal entry's on here)
Compared to my devastation in my first week of recovery I've really come along way and I'm starting to love my new girls.
Let's hope it stays that way and I continue to heal well and that they don't drop too much more because at the moment the perkiness is perfect for me without being to high either.
I don't mind if they continue to shrink a bit more but overall I'm just liking them and able to dress them again.
A couple of little things to mention.
- I'm in my impression bra 24/7. It feels good and supportive so will keep it on for my full 6 weeks as per PS orders. It's very sexy... NOT!
- When will I ever be able to sleep on my tummy again? I get a sore back from all this back sleeping, I hate it! This is the hardest part of the recovery for me.
- I'm pretty much pain free except for hyper sensitivity sometimes around incisions and nipples, I also get the little zingers from time to time (sharp shooting pain) that only last a second so it's not too bad.
- My lefty is still quite swollen in the upper pole and I can feel fluid move around in that breast too. I find the fluid moving around quite a weird sensation and it is starting to feel a bit irritating to me so I am going to call my Plastic Surgeons office tomorrow to check that this is all normal and ok.
That's really all I've got to say for now.
Please ladies if you are reading this and have recently had surgery or planing on having surgery let me know who you are so I can follow your progress too!
I find it so helpful and love all the advice and tips I pick up from others on here.
I'll update again at 3 weeks when I change my tape over.
Happy healing to all!

2 weeks post op update.
I saw my PS about 10 days post op. He is very happy with how everything is looking and healing and feels confident we are going to get a beautiful end result.
He says there is still lots of swelling in my left breast to come down and just to keep wearing my Bridgette Jones compression bra 24/7 for the next 4 weeks.
I still need to take it easy for the next 2 weeks minimum, still no heavy lifting obviously. I'm cleared for most day to day activities just at a slower pace and not to overdo it.
However I'm not allowed to do things like push my kids in the pram for another 2 weeks for example and that's pretty hard when I'm back looking after them on my own and I have a two and a four year old!
I've taught my daughter how to use a ladder to get in and out of the cot, use a footstool to get in the bath and up on the toilet etc so we managing ok at the moment.
Pain wise I feel back to normal so I have to remind myself all the time I can't pick up the kids even though I feel generally well and strong enough to do so.
At the end of the day I'm not willing to jeopardise my results in any way so I'm playing it safe and following all of my PS orders!
I'm missing exercise badly... my doc has only cleared me for light walking! So while my breast are going to look fabulous my ass is going to fall to my knees in the meantime! ????
Can't wait to get back into it and get this bod into top shape for an Aussie summer but all in due time! Trying to eat super healthy to help with any weight gain while not exercising as well as assist me in just general good health/healing.
I'm also missing sleeping on my stomach so much, sleep sucks a bit tbh. I can comfortably sleep on both of my sides now but mostly end up laying on my back. I can't wait to feel like these boobs are mine and treat them like a normal part of my body again!
Other than all that I'm felling better and better each day about my new boobies, hubby loves them! Like seriously ??s... haha. I still have concerns and boob regrets on certain days.
Am I too big? too wide? Do I look fatter? Should I have just done a lift? Should I have gone with round implants over teardrop? HP instead of my mod plus? Is my shape too natural? Do I look saggy? Will they sag in the future? AM I JUST TOO VAIN!!! Lol!
All the doubts and questions you have at times but then if I had actually gone with any of these alternative options I would be for sure sitting here writing maybe I should have gone teardrop over round? Do they look too fake? You get the idea!
This I where you must trust the expert the most because they have more experience and know what to use to get you the best result for YOUR body based on your wish list and pictures you have shown them.
In that regard it is so important to see someone reputable. Can you imagine I went with price point over experience or went cheap and overseas! Imagine how much more I'd be freaking out over all these things not to mention far away if anything was to go wrong! So NOT worth it ever! (But that's just my opinion)
My images in this review show my progression between week 1 and week 2 post op.

Specialist Plastic Surgeon
Epworth Freemasons, 166 Clarendon Street, East Melbourne, Victoria
Amazing person, amazing work! Seriously an artist when is comes to all things breast related. He knows his stuff! Do your research, DO NOT skimp on this kind of thing and in the end if you choose the right doctor for you than you will be able to put 100% trust in them throughout the process. And trust me it is a PROCESS! I'm only two weeks post op but what Mark has done to my breasts is nothing short of a bloody miracle! He is the sweetest guy, very down to earth and calming. I honestly felt liked he cared you know, I can tell he is really proud of his work and he wants to help you achieve the breasts you've always dreamed of.
