My Pre and Post Op Tips III.
WORTH IT
I'm so glad to see the positive feedback for my posts so I'm coming up with more BA tips as promised :) Keep in mind I'm a bit over a month post op and these findings/tips/tricks whatever you wanna call it are based on MY experiences.
Here we go :)
6. Back pain / Bad posture / Slouching
I had some pretty unpleasant back ache from around 1 week post op on due to the pressure caused by the compression band I had to wear 24/7. Also, only sleeping on my back, laying in an upright position with tons of pillows all the time and being inactive were significant factors in this. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that try to walk around when you feel better (also helps with digestion!) and remind yourself to have a good posture. My posture is still not great yet but I try to stretch and correct my posture as often as I can.
7. Incision sites
You might experience a burning sensation on your incision sites which is completely normal. Mine lasted up until the stitches were taken out. By the way, removal of the stitches was totally painless, I didn't even feel anything probably because my boobs were still numb. I started using scar treatment as soon as they were out and I have to say they healing very nicely so I'd recommend using something that contains silicone as a main ingredient.
8. Massage
I always thought massaging was gonna feel good but I was wrong. It's not painful or anything but for the first couple of times it was quite uncomfortable doing it. At least it was not a positive sensation for me. Having boobs to grab was though.
9. Morning boob / "fake boobie" feeling
You may hear people saying how the boobies feel like they're theirs. Well i'm still not a 100% there yet. I'm a month post op and I still wake up with the feeling as if there were two balls on my chest. Morning boob is in the form of a tiny bit of tenderness but as soon as I get up it's completely gone. Other than that during the day I feel like they're completely mine.
It's truly amazing to see how fast they're softening! I feel like the top part feels like real boobs whereas the lower half is progressing really nicely as well. I think they have dropped like 85% to their final place but still need to fluff a bit. Numbness is almost completely gone and with that I'm starting to feel my left nipple as well. (For those of you who don't know I completely lost my left nipple sensitivity after surgery.)
Let me know if you have any questions and I'll be sure to try my best to help.
Take care!

4 week update - resuming my workouts, slowly dropping and softening
I'm exactly 4 week post op today so thought I'd give you guys a little update. There hasn't been mucho change, I'm feeling great and pretty happy with how my boobs look.
I started massaging them 3 weeks post op and I feel like it has helped a lot in the softening process. My left boobie still rides a bit higher but it's not extremely noticeable. Remember, it's a waiting game, your boobs can still change even at the 3 months post op mark. Don't expect them to look 100% natural a couple weeks post surgery especially if you had very little breast tissue like me. Also, they getting very soft, almost like real boobs which I'm very excited about! Morning tenderness is still a thing but a little massaging and it's gone.
I had my first relatively heavy leg workout a couple days ago and it felt amazing to sweat and get back on track. For those of you who are interested, I did the following: 15' stair master, hip thrust on leg extension, trx lunges, cable kickbacks, hip abductors. These involve minimal upper body so they're great for the first weeks.
About the incision, I've been using remescar and it seems like they're healing ok. My ps told me to be careful not to get anything but water on the incision sites until week 4 so I can using shower gels on that area from now on. No harsh rubbing though! Anyway,I'd love to hear more tips on scar remedies!
Expect more BA tips soon!

My PS provides silicone scar strips and they're supposed to be awesome because you can take em off to shower and then put em back on. They're reusable multiple times and very effective. They sell them at drug stores for like $20 for a box of them. I start using them at 2 1/2 weeks post op so in a few days! Mine are still pretty raised, are yours at week 4?

July 15, 2015
Thank you, I'll give them a shot! Not sure if I can find them here in Europe though.. Thankfully, mine are not raised at all! I feel like this silicone treatment helps a lot. Let me know how the scar strips are :)

Thanks for posting your workouts! I cannot wait to get back in the gym myself it's been killing me!! I have lost so much muscle and my bum doesn't look nearly as good before but surgery but at least that is a muscle that will grow unlike our poor boobs which never were without BA. Hahah thanks for posting!

Exactly, I felt completely flat and missed that post-workout pump so bad! I know right, if only boobies can be grown through workouts, I'd do all the push ups in the world haha! Glad if this helped :) Happy healing!
Glad if this helps :)

They look great! Can't wait to follow your progress I'm looking at the 300cc range at this point as well.

July 19, 2015
Thank you!! :) If you want natural looking boobies then I'd say the 300cc range is perfect! Obviously depends on your height, measurements etc. as well.

3 week update - Free from the compression band, stitches out, less restrictions
No more compression band and surgery bra for me guys!! This means I can start wearing cute sports bras that I can actually fill out. Ahh i don't even know how it feels to wear an unpadded bra! (don't judge me) My surgeon said I can start wearing underwired bras from week 6 which I'm really excited about! I literally started browsing cute bras like a month pre op. (again don't judge me..don't act like you don't haha) Until then, I need to wear a sport bra during the day or whenever I'm not laying, going braless at night is ok.
Also, I got my stitches out which literally felt like nothing. I took a look at the incision sites and I was happy to see that they look pretty good. Don't know if that's cause I expected something worse or because it's on my body so it doesn't seem that bad. I also showed the incision sites to other people who said they looked surprisingly ok. I'll include a picture with this post so don't look if you're grossed out by that stuff (I know I usually am). My ps also gave me something to put on my scars, it's called and it looks like a chapstick.
I've read a lot of people mentioning how their boobs turned numb a couple week post op. Well, I'm joining the numb boob club but I'm not too worried about it cause I feel like sensitivity is coming back each day.
My ps was so cool, he greeted me with a huge smile telling me how there are less restrictions from now on. I can start sleeping on my side but I was thinking I might just give back sleeping some more time as I'm used to it anyway. I actually tried laying on my side for a second but it felt kind of weird.. I can also raise my arms above my head and I'm allowed to lift "heavier". (nothing more than 7 lbs but that's ok) I have to start massaging them 2x5 mins a day which felt so good for the same time. I'm not talking about the feeling as it's actually not too pleasant, but having boobs to grab is just something I've never experienced before! (well, obviously, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten a boob job) Excuse my excitement here!

The scar treatment is called remescar and it contains silicone and SPF 15 to avoid discoloration. I'll be updating y'all on how it's working!

Great, did it hurt? I know right, I already got three non-wired bras! Ooops I guess a girl can never have enough bras..at least not when she just got boobies haha

I guess not! I have a Coobie and a couple Genie bras but no cute bras yet. Now I feel like I need to go shopping again! No stitches being removed didn't hurt tho. She clipped the ends with scissors and I didn't feel a thing. The medical assistant did it. Did it hurt for u?

Where did you get the scar treatment?

I got it from my surgeon but I believe you can buy it in Boots if you're based in the UK or alternatively order it online as well.
