WORTH IT$5,500
I went to Victoria's Secret this week (exactly 3 weeks post op) and got sized! It was so great to have options and feel like a woman :) I was sized at 34C. I tried 32C on but a bit tight around and I like to have options on the 3 clasps. I also tried on 32 and 34D but the cup seemed a bit too big. It was a light push up bra! I'm ready to go back and buy more but they are super expensive. Just wanted to update you all as I know some had asked what size I ended up being. Happy Holidays!

Over the weekend I noticed small lines/cords...
Over the weekend I noticed small lines/cords running vertically under the skin under below my incision area. I was a bit concerned and it was on both sides. I called my PS today and he said it's "Mondor's Disease" but not to worry. Said that it should go away and that some patients will get this after BA. He recommended using a heating pad or warm wash cloth to help break them up and ibuprofren. Has anyone else experienced this? Here's what I read on it:
Mondor's Disease aka "Mondor's Cord"
Mondor's Disease / Mondor Cord occurs occasionally after breast augmentation. It is an inflammation of a superficial vein beneath the breast (technically described as thrombophlebitis of the thoracoepigastric vein). This may present as a tender cord, usually running vertically below the inframammary fold. Treatment usually consists of supportive care including warm, moist compresses and anti-inflammatory medication (aspirin or ibuprofen). Spontaneous resolution usually occurs within a couple of weeks. The condition gets its name from Henri Mondor, a French surgeon (1885-1962).
Mondor’s Cords:
Mondor’s Cords, sometimes called Mondor’s disease, is a benign condition that can occur two to four weeks following breast augmentation. Tender vertical cords develop beneath the breast from the inframammary fold downward. They are veins (thoracoepigastric veins, to be precise) that have become thrombosed (clotted) and inflamed. They are not an infection.
Treatment is supportive with warm (but not hot) soaks directly to the cords with aspirin or ibuprofen as needed. The cords will disappear on their own within a few months. They were named after Henri Mondor (1885–1992), a famous French surgeon who originally described them.
There are pics online as well that basically match what I'm seeing under my breasts. Just wanted to share and see if anyone else experienced this.

Hi! Im thinking of going 265cc's as i have a small frame. What are your stats? i may have missed them somewhere.. :) happy healing.
MD
I got 255ccs on 14th as I have a small frame also and the bigger size just looked to big when I was having mine in.
I think i will be a full b cup now which I a happy with :) I wasn't even an a 32a b4 xx
I weigh 8st3lb and am 5, 4 xx hope this helps x
Hi! Congrats :) I'm 32 yrs old, no kids, 5 ft 7 inches and 115lbs. I went with 286cc moderate profile and love it. Good luck with your decision!!
MD
I should probably add mine are above the muscle as unders were not recommended for me due to how my muscles flexed, ps was afraid they may get pushed to the side and look bad shape cause my muscles are low x

Feeling good at 2.5 weeks! Added a few new pics, I think all the swelling is gone and this will be my size! Very happy with the results, my PS has been great and I've been able to start working out and running...with no pain :) Good luck to you all!

That's great to hear! My surgery was 11/28. PS said I could run at 10 days but I took it easy and have slowly been adding more running in. Got in 6 miles yesterday -- felt so good although they were slower miles. I have a follow-up tomorrow and am hoping I can lift weights now! Do you have steri-strips on still? At my last visit, he said to leave them on until 12/10 and gave me extras in the event they came off. They didnt' come off until yesterday and I replaced them simply because I thought it might be better with running and not having the band agitate the incision site at all....don't think I need them still but I see where some people continue to have the steri-strips in place for 6 weeks after? I'll find out tomorrow what he suggests. Glad to hear you're back to running. It's so nice, isn't it? I hope you have a continued success with yours and love them as much as I'm loving mine! :)
That's great as well! Mine have been slower miles too....3 runs thus far and just got back from a my first run outside. It definitely is great to be able to run!! I haven't started lifting and probably won't for another week or two. I'm not big into lifting anyways ;) I don't think I had steri strips at all...the incisions were just covered with a glue (most likely dermabond I'm guessing) that he said I could take off. I hope that you have continued success as well!!
Did your PS go with Rapid Recovery?
Hi there! I'm not sure what Rapid Recovery is... I knew going into it with him that I would most likely be able to workout/run at this point as my future sister in law went with him and she was able to run when she had it done. Main thing they told me is to listen to my body. How are you doing? I hope great!
What cup size did you settle into being
I'm not sure yet as I'm still wearing sports bras. I will be able to wear a more normal/underwire bra in a week or 2 (4 weeks after post op). Once I'm able I'll go shopping and get measured :) I'm guessing high B or low C but not sure!
