I can't believe it's taken me so long to update-
Overall things went very well. I do still find my nipples sensitive, and it took about 6-8 months for all strange twinges and tingles to subside in each breast. I found about 10 months post op I benefitted greatly from having my massage therapist work on my pec muscles. The combo of the bread Aug and breastfeeding really did a number on my posture. But it only took a few months to correct.
I'm most surprised that I miss my petite bust in some summer outfits! I find things I could wear before without much thought look a lot sexier now. Which isn't necessarily bad, just not always appropriate when I'm with my young child or heading into the office. (in my personal opinion)
My right breast scar hasn't healed as quickly to white as my left, and has a more pronounced textured. I will give it a few more months and then will likely chat with the surgeon if there is no improvement.
They're not as round/high/big/obvious as last summer. I've settled into a comfortable 32D for the most part and find I'm very well proportioned to the rest of my body. In the last 6 months I've made a conscious effort to put on muscle, yay! So I'm 10-15lbs curvier than when I had the surgery last Spring.
I'm so happy I elected to have my breasts done, I don't regret it at all.
Happy to answer any questions!
Pardon the marks, I had on a tight top over my bra today and it left some reddness.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I love your results. I'm 9 days post op. I'm 5'2 150 lbs. I have 415 cc moderate profile. I'm trying to be patient and wait for the drop and fluff that everyone refers to. But it seems as though I went to small. I'm helping I will feel better about my results as time goes by. I'm happy with my lift.

Hello everyone!
In true fashion, my life returned to fabulous chaos with the arrival of my son and husband. My first day taking care of my son solo (just on Saturday) totally kicked my ass. I was so sore and so tired by the end of the day. Our daycare lady has been picking him up in the mornings for me and then I have help at the end of the day until he goes to bed. I'm very happy I made arrangements for this considering how strained I felt on Saturday. That being said, I do modify lift my son when I absolutely have to. Pushing a cart around the grocery store wasn't the greatest idea... I should also add that on that Saturday in addition to caring for my son and pushing a grocery cart, I did 3 loads of laundry, cleaned my kitchen, cleaned out two kitchen cupboards, etc... I mom'ed the Eff of out that day. OUCH!
The girls have felt pretty good. My skin and nipples are still hypersensitive, I think a lot of the swelling has subsided as well. I'm still very full in the upper pole and am looking forward to drop and fluff. I've been sleeping on my side, spooning a pillow since day 5. Through the night I tend to wake myself a few times with a sharp pull feeling on my right side. I have no idea what I'm doing while I sleep, but its the same spot always. It hasn't resulted in bruising or swelling so I'm thinking my body just feels so normal that I'm less aware of my movements while asleep.
I also removed my steri strips last night. I know I could have done it at the 10 day mark, but they were still well adhered to my breast so I opted to give them more time. Overall I'm please with what I see considering how recent my surgery was. The incisions feel bumpy to touch. Oh my goodness its SO much more comfortable without the strips on, they were itchy!! I have a cream from the PS to help heal compromised skin. I use this twice a day, next week I add a second scream and the silicone patches.
I will attach some pictures on another entry. I'm on my work computer so I'd rather not save my boob pics for upload lol.
Fill me in on how you are all making out?!! I'm having a difficult time finding zip front, underwire-free, sports bras here in Canada. I've gone to VS, but they had only one option from Pink, and it doesn't feel very supportive. Any suggestions?

looking so good! healing looks like it is also going well. they don’t look like they’ve really dropped too early at all. from photos I’ve seen it looks like you’re right on track :) I’ve been also looking for zip up sports bras and haven’t found anything here (in BC). I did find one underwire-free, stretchy bra that clasps in the front from Walmart, but that’s it :( I wasn’t able to find much online either. I am going for my first consult in Vancouver tomorrow, and then another on Thursday. Excited to be finally taking the first step.

I'm so excited for you!! Let me know how it goes :). I will keep you posted on what I find for bras... I just ordered two off of Amazon

I did find a zip front sports bra at Walmart a few weeks ago. it was with the active wear and not with the bras.
