WORTH IT$16,000
Okay, had my 1 mo check up. Belly button revision will have to wait another two months, but I can live w/that. I'm healing up great and even went running today! Still tight up the middle of my tummy, but that's to be expected. I wore one of my old bras today and it fit. I guess I'm still a C and not the small D I ordered! It's all good though - I wanted it to look natural.

I'm being bold here and posting my official before and after pics. God I hope nobody I know recognizes me!

I forgot to mention - I still have no feeling in my nipples, and the PS is a little concerned that the feeling may not come back. He was encouraged that I do have feeling on the inside of my breasts where the nipple nerve comes from, so he is optimistic that the sensation could return. Oh well. It honestly would not be a big tragedy for me. At least getting into the cold pool this weekend didn't affect me! :)

I'm also still numb on the bottom of my breasts where the vertical incision is, and also in center of my stomach in about a 3" wide strip from my belly button to the incision.

I am stoked to hear that you went running at 1 month post-op! That is my goal. I'm 7 days post-op today (put up some pics if you're interested) and already feeling pretty great. I'm taking one more week "off" then will be walking for exercise for 2 weeks, then off and running (god willing!).

I didn't notice anything odd about your belly button at all, so I'm sure it will heal up just fine. I also laughed at your photo caption about the left being your "superboob". Lefty is my "superboob", too :)

Do your incisions itch? Because mine are ITCHY!!

I just commented on your story! The ONLY reason I wasn't back on the elliptical after 2 weeks was because of my belly button. PS wanted me to avoid impact for longer, so he said elliptical was fine. I did have to keep my upper body pretty stable while exercising at first, but now I'm pretty good to go. I couldn't have run after 2 weeks.

My tummy incision itches. Mine is really low - in fact, he cut into my pubic hair area about 1/2 inch! It itches just under my incision from time to time, but boobs don't itch at all.

I keep having these second thoughts about my breasts - "I should have gone a bit bigger" or "I should have had the implants placed differently" but then I keep reminding myself that I got exactly what I asked for, and for that I should be happy. Once I remind myself of that, I'm happy again. :)

You look great! I'm having my tt and lift/aug in December. We are about the same size pre-op, hopefully I will look that great postop! If you have a chance to post pictures at the 6 month that would be great! I'm very nervous about the scarring on my breast. Thanks again for all the details!

I added my three week photos. Lookin' good, but my belly button may need a little revision once it's all healed.

You look incredible! And honestly, if I hadn't read your review I wouldn't have noticed anything weird about your belly button. My guess it when it heals only you will notice what's different but it will look totally normal to everyone else :)
