Update...I love my new look and the emotional rollercoaster is over!
About two weeks post op I felt I had gone too large, and was planning the revision. It was shocking to see myself with boobs. Also trying on swimsuits was a shock as none of my previous bikini tops looked tasteful with the new me. Another concern was the "fluff and puff" phenomena that could make them look even larger.
At about the 5 week mark, the swelling began to subside and the girls started to soften and move down to a more natural position. I am completely happy and satisfied! My size looks in balance and proportion to my shoulders and behind. My new look is tasteful and girly. I can go braless if I want and the profile of the breasts makes me look thinner!
What a life changing experience this has been and one that has given me a new confidence and a boost of self-esteem. BTW my husband just loves them!

Two weeks now and I am feeling better everyday.
Energy level is not quite 100% but I had major surgery at age 53 so giving myself some slack.
Pain is now easy to not notice, if that makes sense. I take a tylenol maybe once a day. Actually, when I think about it, I am just used to the feeling of the pain. Sure it is lessening but I think I am just getting used to having a zinger now and then.
Size, now this is crazy! I haven't once wish I'd gone bigger but so many days I wish I'd gone smaller! They are still round and high and I know they will drop, but still it is jarring to see myself in the mirror after having nothing and now something!
Went bra shopping at Nordstrom. The sales associate was bringing me these matronly, full coverage, underwire bras to try on. There is no way I am wearing anything like these when I get out of the surgical bra. She measured me as a 32G or 34DDD. What! I can't be this huge?? So I bought a couple stretchy bralets to wear when the surgical bra straps show (like out to dinner in a sun dress).

It has been about 10 days since surgery and everyday it gets better and better. I haven't even taken a tylenol in days--i have a bit of pain from the incisions but not enough for me to take a pain reliever.
I can't believe how wonderful the outcome has been. Dr Riolo and I picked the perfect size for my body stature, not too big but definitely not too small. Why didn't I do this ten years ago??

So glad to hear you're happy with your results after a few months of healing and settling in. Congratulations!
