Almost 6 months out. My camera always makes my scars more pink and irritated than in real life. I'm so happy with my size, healing, Dr. Papillion and my final results. Although it was probably the most painful thing I've ever experienced, I would definitely do it again. I'm still having trouble with that Mondors Cord, it flares up periodically. I'm planning on talking to my PS at my next appt. I'll keep updating!

I'm just over 4 months out. Everything is going perfectly. I'm healed up and scars are looking less and less obvious. Dr. Papillion said I'm right where he would expect me to be in my recovery. I'm incredibly happy with my results. The girls have dropped and are softer than I had imagined possible! I've settled into a 36 DDD, one size larger than my before. I'm very happy with the size and shape. For the first time in my life, bras are comfortable and fit appropriately. I've definitely reached the point where they feel like a part of me instead of feeling unnatural, sometimes I forget I've had it done. Still feel really blessed to have such a great Doctor, an attentive, supportive husband and the resources to have this life improving procedure!

P.S. I had a quick liposuction consultation at my last Dr. Visit, that'll be my next adventure!

So we are similar size, I'm thicker at 38DDD not sure if mine are all the way settled but I feel like I'm close to being settled. Just wondering if you have found any really good bras that you recommend?

New bra

The time has come to start transitioning into an actual bra. The Bandinis were great to get me through the beginning stages of healing. My PS doesn't recommend underwire until after 3 months of recovery. I searched the Internet and was having trouble finding what I needed, which was a large cup bra without underwire. I finally broke down and bought nursing bras, lol! They fit the bill perfectly and were not expensive. So here is a shot of me wearing it, you probably wouldn't even know it was a nursing bras if I didn't mention it. You gotta do whatch gotta do! P.S. My husband rather liked the concept of these nursing bras!
