Two Month Update!
I just uploaded a bunch of random pics from the last few weeks - I am so so so obsessed with my boobs. I especially love the cleavage that I can create - so exciting!! I never ever was able to create cleavage before.
I went in for my "six week" follow-up last week, and my PS told me I should be wearing around a 32D or maybe a 34C! Seems about right, I purchased a few bras from Victoria's Secrect - 32D was too small in most of the styles but 34D and 32DD seem to be pretty perfect! So happy. She mentioned that my boobs will likely stay about where they are - they didn't have to do much dropping or fluffing, so I got pretty lucky there!
I have not gotten back into my workout routine yet, but I have been doing a bit of cardio and just yesterday I did a somewhat normal back and shoulder workout. Everything felt pretty normal, except lat pull-down where I could definitely feel the pecs trying to do some of the work. But I was pleased with how normal it felt to do everything else. I think I'll go back to the gym today and try do some some squats, lunges, deadlifts, etc...
I really can't wait to get back to jiu jitsu, but I'm going to give that at least one more month to be safe. My husband would like for me to wait until like March of next year, but I really don't know if I can wait that long - I'm going nuts!! I actually have been dealing with a little bit of depression (a recurring problem) that I think is 90% due to a lack of physical activity. I'm really hoping that getting back into a bit of a routine will help with that. I've also been experiencing terrible neck- and headaches due to my pecs being tight and my back muscles being overstretched, so hopefully getting back to the gym will help with that as well.
My incisions are healing up perfectly. I don't ever really think about them because they are so well hidden in the creases. I have not been doing anything to encourage them to fade or anything - I'm just trusting that time will do it's thing. It one less thing that I have to worry about remembering every day.
I'm like 99% used to having boobs at this point. Sometimes, I'll pull on a shirt I haven't worn since the surgery or something and I'll be like, "Holy whoa, these are big!" but most of the time, I just think that they are perfect and make my proportions exactly what I wanted!
I went and got a massage for the first time since my surgery and everything was great! I've seen that some women have trouble laying comfortably on their stomachs, but I don't have any issues with that, thankfully! My husband is also learning that he doesn't have to be as gentle with them anymore. :P I have to say, the skin underneath my breasts and my nipples are still pretty sensitive - not nearly as bad as around the 2 week mark, but still more sensitive than beforehand. I do hope that subsides a bit over time.
Hmmm... what else? I don't know that there is anything else to update! Boobs are finally not 99% of my thinking process everyday! I still think about them often, and I absolutely love my own pair, but it's not a constant obsession like it was in the weeks leading up to the surgery. I much prefer it that way! :P
I hope everyone else is doing well! To those of you who are still on the fence about getting the surgery, do it! Of course, do your research and make sure you trust your doctor, but as long as you have a good surgeon, the process will be easier than you every could have expected!
Pics!
Happy Halloween!
Provider Review
Dr. Cobbins is an impeccable doctor. She was patient and thorough with my husband and I in explaining the procedure and setting my expectations. She was straightforward and answered each of our questions with a knowledgable response. I was especially pleased that I had chosen Dr. Cobbins when I discovered that her methodologies regarding breast augmentation are supported by the most recent research on breast augmentation - this tells me that she stays up-to-date on her skills and adjusts her practice where necessary. The day of surgery is one filled with nerves and anxiety if you're a breast augmentation patient - but when Dr. Cobbins walked into the room on the day of my procedure with a big grin on her face, I was immediately put at ease. Her confidence gave me confidence. And the procedure was an absolute breeze. One moment I was lying on the operating table and the next minute I was waking up with new boobs! Recovery has been easier, by far, than expected. I was completely mobile the same day of surgery. By day 2 post-op, I washed and braided my hair in 2 french braids. I'm now 12 days post-op and I feel about 95% back to my normal self! My boobs are already settling and softening, and they feel like a part of me. TL;DR Dr. Cobbins is an amazing plastic surgeon! I HIGHLY recommend seeing her!!
