10mos later! Let's start with the boobs.
I feel more feminine! I no longer feel awkward nude. Sex is awesome always has been but much more confident in my skin. The scars underneath are barely visible. I can't see them unless I lift my boobs.
I went with 400cc and I still feel like they are big on me. My husband loves them but I just don't know. I didn't want large boobs. Just "big enough". But going any smaller would not have been an option. My breast width is on the larger side for my body, so a significantly smaller implant would have given me a tennis ball in a sock look...no thanks! I just feel wide and out of proportion. I do however still fit in all of my clothes (not bras) so they can be that big...right?
Bras. I hate them. At VS I measure 32dd or 34d neither one is truly a good fit. I found that wireless bras feelost comfortable. I bought some GAPbody ones. I'm a 34c there. I think the difference in size is because my boobs are not confined in the wire cup. Maybe?
I have lost sensitivity of the nipples. Not all, just enough to notice...mostly at the tips.
Overall, I'm happy. I feel comfortable and feminine. I'm thankful my body accepted them and I had not complications.
I'll post some pics tonight and please give me your opinion on the size. Be honest! Either way I don't plan on changing them.

Well today I'm back at work and today I'm 6wks PO....
Well today I'm back at work and today I'm 6wks PO. My swelling hasn't been that bad up until today. Damn this swelling!! Oh well.
Boobs: there at times when I think I went too big. And it doesn't help that my husband keeps mentioning the size. He of course likes them...me I'm hoping they get a little smaller when settled. They are getting super soft and no longer bothersome. When I look down to see my tummy incision all I see are boobs. Lol...I guess I'm just not used to them yet.
Tummy: swelling has been okay, not too bad but its there. My incision is still half way covered with tape, so I haven't seen it all. What I am able to see is really, really good. It's like a thin white line. I'm hoping that it heals like my c-section...that would be awesome. I'm moving around and able to stand about 90-95% erect.
I should mention that on my last appointment my PS said that my boobs look good and they will fit me really well (he's the conservative type, so that gives me hope).
Oh, I saw my BB. It's a little triangular but its super cute.
Well ladies, I hope you are all healing well and taking it easy.

You look great!!! I wish I had found u sooner. My surg was the 10th so I was just a few days behind you ( and I have children 6 years older than you! ) but I had some really blue days. Still have them now and again . Home from work one week, worked from home one week and back to work. BIG mistake! You have done all the right things, you look GREAT and we will get back to feeling normal. Just have to be patient, but in the mean time look in the mirror! You look WOW!

Aawww, thank you! Oh man I couldn't even imagine going back to work after a week. I work at an office and even then that would have been hard. I have blue days too, I'm always so tired and that's not like me. I'm really waiting for the moment when my boob feel like my own and the tummy is no longer worrisome. Hang in there...its all part of the process.

Oh and I think its great that you didn't let your age stand in the way of having these surgeries. Age is truly just a number.

Thank you! The swelling is tolerable, I try not to do too much, take it easy on the salt intake, drink water and a cup of prune juice every other day...just to keep things moving. I also started doing lymphatic messages and that seems to help too. As for my boobs, my husband is really enjoying them but they don't feel like they are mine yet...and just really waiting for that to happen. They are soft and squishy...I'm just not used to them yet.

So when our skin is lifted from the belly our lympathic system is disturbed, this causes the build up of extra fluid in out tummy. It takes time for it to reconnect and for our body to remember how to drain the fluids. At first I didn't really buy in to the massages but out of desperation I Googled it and did it myself and I found that it worked for me. Basically after a shower or when I'm swollen, I lay down for 15-20 mins and then do the massages. The swelling decreases and I feel a lot more comfortable. Does it return? Yes, but I feel like I'm able to help my body drain and that makes me feel proactive. I found a professional on YouTube that shows you how to self-massage. Her account name is maasagebyheather. If you Google lympathic massages you should find her or type it on YouTube. I hope this helps you.
