Happy One Month!!
$6,700
Today was my one month post-op!! Just a recap on my healing and such. My incisions are still sensitive, but it's getting better day by day. I try not to look at them so I don't obsess on what they look like. I honestly don't care either. I can't see them, so as long as I can't see them, I won't worry about it. My girls are dropping slowly, and I'm still wearing the strap at night. I always seem to take it off in the middle of the night though. I have a bad habit of doing that...lol I take off random items of clothing. I have full motion back, my strength needs work but I'm sure it will be the same very soon.
As for my appointment, I had to being my 19 month-old with me. It was cute in the sense that my PS allowed for him to come and he even tried to carry him during the appointment. My son ended up getting scared and crying because he is afraid of strangers. So, my PS took the rejection like a champ and ended up giving my son a lollipop. Ha haha it was too cute. I also got a free Coobie bra! Apparently it's a one month anniversary gift and I love the bra! I'm actually wearing it now and I'll post pics of it. It seriously is the most comfortable bra I have yet. I will definitely be buying more. It doesn't feel like I'm even wearing a bra so that is nice.
I can now exercise in eexception to chest workouts. I will be able to get full clearance for working out in another 2-3 weeks. I can hold and lift my son though, so I'm happy as ever!!
Anywayladies, I hope you are all doing well and happy healings!!

bought some new sports bras
I bought some new sports bras. I didn't try them all on and take a pic because it's still rather hard to get them off by myself. Anyhow, these are two new ones I bought yesterday. I have two VS ones coming in the mail hopefully soon.
As for progress goes, it's still rather alow, and my stitches are still sensitive and so are my nipples. Ahh I just want to walk around topless. It's slowly dropping and I feel the bottom on the implant. Is that normal? (At least I think it's the bottom of the implant).
Hope you all are healing well, and if you're still waiting, it's worth it even if the healing process takes a bit.

Would you happen to know what your BWD is? We almost have the same stats and I'm thinking about going with the same implant? Mine is 12cm. Just trying to get an idea of what I could look like! And what profile would be the best for me.
January 6, 2015
I can't remember what I was...I think I was an 11 or 12, but i can't say for sure. These 325cc moderate plus was the biggest ny PS could fit with the look I was going for. I wanted a little bit more than the natural look, and I'm more than happy with my results! I was so stressed too trying to figure out what size to get, but you'll know. I pretty much tried on sizers and I liked the look of a 325/350. They felt and looked huge, but in actuality it's not too bad.
January 6, 2015
Cool thanks!! I think that's what I'm going to end up with is what you have!! You look great :)
January 6, 2015
Looking fabulous!
Jealous you get to wear a small/XS!
I think you are likely to feel the implant there when you are small...?
January 6, 2015
Thank you!! At first I was having a bit of booby greedy, but then I realized that people can already tell that I got them done and that i have boobs now, so any bigger would've been ridiculous on me lol. Not to mention, this is the biggest my skin could handle. I sure hope it's normal to feel it like that, now instead on CC I'm worried about bottoming out..
January 6, 2015
Oh and byw, you look absolutely gorgeous! I know the size is a bit much for you, but I'm sure you'll get used to it. Because from my perspective it looks like it suits your frame well. I understand though, that this change isn't just physical but it's emotional and psychological too. Hang in there, and I hope you fall in love with them more and more every day.
January 6, 2015
thank you nsv!! i plan on adjusting--just need to figure out how to move that along :-)

i read somewhere on here that the bottom is the most common place to feel an implant because there is the least cushioning

sorry it took so long to update!
I'm sure all of you can relate to being busy this time of year. I especially didn't want to obsess with my giels because I don't think they've changed much... :( they're still pretty hard and high on my chest. Although my doctor did say that he thinks it's going to take the full 3 months to see the results I'm looking for. So, I guess I have to be patient. I'm really hoping though that they soften up. I'm not even able to really push them anywhere. My PS doesn't recommend me massaging just yet, but he has me wearing this band that I've slacked off on wearing a few nights, but he only told me to wear it at night.
Anyway, I hope all of you are doing well!

I'm the same as you, trying not to obsess over mine anymore. Hoping that when I do eventually look, they will have changed. 3 months sounds right. It's hard to be patient.
January 3, 2015
Haha I know...it's hard not to obsess over them. I think I'm more scared that it will stay high. Btw your results look amazing as is right now!
January 2, 2015
looking good! time is going to be your friend I think because you were so tight. once that top shifts on down and settles I think you are going to be beyond thrilled--not that you don't look good now, but I think you will get exactly what you want!
January 3, 2015
Thank you!!...haha its going by so slowly, but i do love them already...I feel like a different person when I can finally wear a top and not feel flat as a board.
January 4, 2015
I think they definitely look "softer" and less swollen but yes, it will take some time to see results. For me, I feel like they really started to drop and soften up when I started massaging so hang in there! Did your PS say when you're supposed to start the massages?
January 4, 2015
He told me not to start any massages at my one week visit, especially if it hurt (and it did at the time). He also said be didn't really want me massaging and I can't remember why he said not to. I have my month check up on the 12th, so I'll ask him then I guess...I just fear it'll get stuck this high if I don't start massaging it lol
