Time has gone by very quickly since my surgery. Only thing I really notice is between my breasts is still tender from where my surgeon dissected the pockets. Other then that they are perfect. Running is still no issue. I wear all my same pre surgery bras. My bra size is 32D but I rarely wear normal bras. I find it more comfortable still to wear sports bras.

Not too much has changed. I'm not sleeping as upright as I was before and even finding it comfortable on my side. I only have pain between my breasts now and the incisions. I did a short leg workout today. Just light weight and kept my heart rate down. Not a whole lot to update.

Hello! You looks great and I found your profile to be very helpful. I'm scheduled for 9/8 and have another consult 8/5 to decide on size. I'm going under muscle silicone and I was in the 330-360 range at my first visit but I'm starting to wonder if that is going to be big enough for me. I want a full C after they drop and fluff. I'm 116 lbs and 5'7 and my diameter is 13". What cup size are you? How is it running with your new girls! What sports bra brand did you find works best? Thanks for your help!

Hey! I'm just over 3 months post now and 32D seems to fit best. From what I've heard, 32D and 34C have the same cup size just smaller/larger band. I rarely wear "real" bras anyways. I wear all the same sports bras I used to wear before my surgery. What I've found is that the bigger size you go all it does is change the size of the band around. Most of my bras are lululemon size 4 or targets champion brand in xtra small. Running has been great. I really don't even notice them. They don't bounce at all. I favorite running bra is the lululemon flow y bra, size 4. You can usually find them on sale on their website under " we made too much". With your height I would say 350-400 would work for you. I don't wish I went bigger or smaller. They are the perfect size for me. Good luck with your consults and surgery. If you have any other questions let me know!

Hi! I'm 2 weeks now and my PS says I can run at 3 weeks. When did you start back? I've read a lot of girls didn't start until the 6 week but I don't think I can wait that long especially since my PS says 3 weeks is ok.

I'm pretty sure I was 4 weeks. I just waited until I felt comfortable enough to do it. I know I felt discomfort while I ran but not enough to not go. My PS said after 2 weeks to gradually get back into my routines just make sure I listen to my body. Good luck!

Just wanted to add a few pics from today. Had my surgery at 3pm a week ago. Feel awesome today. No pain meds just one ibprofen this morning. Just my skin still feels a bit tight and have been getting pain zingers in my incisions. I have my dirt post op apt tomorrow to see how my progress is going. Hope everything looks good.

I'm a runner too! They look soooo amazing! I'm worried about my size to but I go in for my pre-op on Friday (excitedddd) so we are discussing sizes then. My other worry is lifting my small children. :( Are your children young?

Ya I was really worried about size as well. I have a friend with implants and she says they do not bounce when she runs which was good to hear. My kids are 18 mo and 4. My youngest is 20lbs and I haven't had any issues with lifting her for short periods of time. My dr said anything under 25 lbs is ok. After 2 weeks then any weight is fine as long as you listen to your body. My 4 yr old is pretty self sufficient and I don't normally have to pick him up anyways so he has been fine. Good luck with your consult!
