At the two week mark. Steri-strips are off the incisions looks good. Right it looking like swelling is going down, and its lower. Left is still high and swollen. I think the right looks smaller now that the swelling is going down, I know they say to give it 3 months at least to know what they will look like, but man I really hope it doesn't get smaller cause I might cry! I know its my own fault, I shouldn't have gone the safe route, I should have gone bigger. I think everyone feels this way after the BA, or most anyway. My husband keeps telling me that they are big enough, and any bigger wouldn't have looked right on my body. Maybe this is just s stage that I'm going through...I go back and forth. I don't want huge DD but, would love to have small Ds. I'm thinking I'll end up with full C's which was what I originally wanted before boob greed set in. lol! The struggle is real!

Week and a half update! Friday will be two weeks.
T_2016June 14, 2016
Everything is going well. Friday will be two weeks post surgery. That went by quick! I can't wait until a month because at that point I think I will be able to really see a change. Although, I love them like they are now, but I'm sure I will understand at that point. Just not sure what will change since I didn't go huge, and my skin was already tight. I don't have children, and I did high profile. I'm sure they will definitely soften and I read that the muscle will loosen up since I went under the muscle it will take some time for my muscles to accommodate the impants. Here is updated pictures. I am now able to sleep comfortable on my side and in my bed without a ton of pillows but, still using some to keep me comfortable (I'm wearing the band at night to help my implants position quicker). Another thing that I wanted to add. When I went to pick out my implants, I tried on different sizes with a bra. I do think it helps to be able to envision yourself with larger boobs, but if you have a great surgeon then they can help you communicate what you want. I told them I wanted a full C, and when I tried on sizes I picked out 375cc and 400cc. At that point the nurse, who was the main person helping me, she said that I would most likely be a small D with either size. I wanted to go with 400cc after looking at myself with them on, but my family was afraid it would be too large for my frame when I told them I would most likely be a D. Its not that big of a difference so I went with the 375cc to make sure I wasn't going to end up with DDs because I read some post from women with the same stats that ended up having DDS with 400CC, but everyone is different! I honestly will say at this point I love my boobs, and am really excited, but I keep telling my husband that I should have gone with the 400cc, because that was my first pick and I really wanted it. My surgeon said not to lose sleep over the two sizes because its a matter of a couple tablespoons and probably not going to make a difference. I think I would have had more peace of mind going with the 400cc, thinking go big or go home lol. I should have just done want I wanted, because I had my mind made up. Anyway, again it would be a minimal change, if any change, but just putting that out there that "Boob greed" is a really thing, and you should do what you want, and not what other people tell you to do. I just feel that if I'm going to pay $, and go through this surgery, to finally have boobs then I want to do what I want. My family actually thought the 375cc was too large, and I refused to do any less. I'm glad I didn't do any less. Just encouraging others to do what they feel they will like, not what your family or friends will like and to pick a surgeon that can help you and tell you want will give you what you want. My surgeon and his nurse was amazing, all the staff was amazing. I do have a question that I forgot to ask my surgeon at my post-op appt, I go back in a few weeks for my second appt, but wanted to see if anyone on here can answer my question. I'm wondering, if I will basically stay the same size that I am now, only that my implants will drop/position and soften? I know there is swelling after surgery but, I don't think I'm super swollen just that my skin is still tight. If anyone is able to let me know if they lost/gained or remained about the same after surgery (size wise), that would be awesome. I know I will find out eventually once mine position but, I'm impatient and wanted to ask lol.

They will drop and soften with time. I am unhappy with my results because they now look smaller. I also have a friend who is thinking of redoing hers after 3 years because her size seems to have changed. Keep Taking pictures to see the changes.
June 14, 2016
Thanks for the reply! And answering my question... What size did you originally start with and what are you now? If you don't mind me asking?
June 14, 2016
I was a 36A and I got 286cc mod+ and i just passed my 3 month post op. I'm a 36b or 34c. I'm petite, so I only had room for 286cc haha. But, I wish I would've gone with the high profile. I could go up to 350 if I'd chosen HP.
June 15, 2016
I understand that. They said if I did the moderate plus I could only do 300cc. my chest was too narrow for anything more.That's why I went with the HP. Best of luck! I hope things change and you end up happy with your BA.

OMG im going to be 2 weeks tomorrow too :-) I had 375 mod+ and I was 34A so mines look very similar to urs!! Are they still very right? Yesterday was bad for me, my nipples were super sensitive :/ i also feel like they're getting soft little by little :-)
June 17, 2016
Wow, that means we can chat about what we are experiencing! This will be fun! Mine are still tight but, I have noticed they are softening. My left is dropping slower and is taking longer to soften. and YES, wow are my nipples sore. My entire boobs are starting to be sensitive, but my nipples are worse. I went from numb to really sensitive. My compression bra is super soft but, that even makes my nipples hurt if I move or when I'm changing tops. Its strangle, I'm hoping it will be a short lived stage and not last for weeks.

Day 5 update
T_2016June 8, 2016
Friday through monday I found it most comfortable to continue sleeping in the recliner...Last night was my first night sleeping in my bed and I propped my back and head up with a couple pillows with a pillow on each side of me to prop my arms on. I read a review and the lady kept talking about how its important to have plenty of pillows and she is right....Today was my post op appointment. Everything went well, no sign of infection and new stern-strips were put on for the next week. I also have to wear a strap over my chest to help my implants move into the correct position. I stopped taking Percocet after Sunday because it was causing me terrible headaches and it was more pain then my BA. Now I'm just taking tylenol extra strength and really do not need that, but every now and then. I haven't been in much pain at all, just tightness and sore when I move in certain ways. Its been a pretty smooth experience. I am taking Diazepam for spasms but, hasn't really happened much just taking it to try to keep it from happening. So basically its been pretty uneventful. Showering is kind of a task because it takes twice the time because I am very curious about moving too much and straining the incision. Here are some updated pics I took yesterday. They look about the same today so no pics from today but I will up date as I start seeing progress....I do want to add that I did a huge amount of research and I greatly appreciated everyone else reviews so that is why I am giving my review. It was a huge help! I was able to decided on size and also, what post surgery sports bra was best. I went with the Brilliant Contours Dragon bra. Its amazing! I highly recommend it. Its worth the money. Super comfortable, easy to put on and off. You won't regret it http://www.brilliantcontours.com/product-category/dragonfly-bra-collection/

Wow! Sounds like your recovery is progressing quickly! That's awesome that you are already off the big pain killers! Thank you for taking the time to comment on my review. I'll keep following your journey as you are about a week ahead of me! :)

What size are you now and what's your weight and height?
June 13, 2016
I won't know official size for a while. My surgeon has me in a zip front sports bra. He said I will range between a full c or small d. I am 110 lbs and 5'2. I will do an at home measurement and let you know what size I am at the moment. I've read that you won't know you're actually size for a few months. I see my surgeon in 3 weeks, I'm hoping he will tell me I can stop wearing the sports bra and wear regular bras.
June 13, 2016
If I am measuring correctly, measuring the band so under my boobs, and then measuring across, subtracting the two, then it makes me at a 32D. They say for every inch it is a cup size. I had 4 inches after subtracting the two measurements. I am hoping I will start a 32D. Hope this helps! I will up date once I get to the point of wearing a bra and them fully positioning.
June 14, 2016
Keep us updated! I'd like to know what your results are because it's very close to what I'm looking for lol. Can you post a side view? Do you think sizing the implants in a bra over the breast is pretty accurate to what the actual implant turns out to be?
June 14, 2016
Just added another post with my opinion on trying them on, and also a side view...let me know if you have any other questions :)
