WORTH IT$6,500
I finally got my dh to take some photos. My left nipple has an obvious scar but my doctor says it will subside with time. The right nip scar is barely noticeable. I've been working out at the gym 3 to 4 times a week and feel great. I am taking it very slow on exercises involving the pecs, but am able to do bicep curls, rows, overhead press with light weights with no discomfort. I find that lower ab work is fine, but upper ab work gets uncomfortable fast.
I feel so good now and love how I look in nice clothes and not need a padded bra.
I hope everyone here on the boobie blogosphere are doing well.

28 days post op, 4 weeks. Feeling super!
This past Monday, 25 days postop, I saw my PS for the third post op appointment and was given clearance to do anything I want to, except to let comfort be my guide. Also, no more strap is needed and no more tape on the incisions.
I did a workout at the gym tonight and incorporated a "mini" circuit training workout. Using the smallest dumbells (only 3 pounds!) for lat raises, and 10 pound dumbells for single leg romanian deadlifts. It felt good. I did some pushups, girl-style, but not many because it was uncomfortable. Pushups will take longer to get used to.
I had started with 30 minutes of cardio with a few intervals revving up my heartrate into zone 3. Sweating felt so good. I'll gradually build up my cardio and weight training over the next several weeks.

Glad you are doing so well in your recovery. Funny thing about my experience is that after the muscles in the chest began to relax the breasts seem to get bigger. Maybe that is what they mean when they say dropping and fluffing. Because of my incision and/or the pocket placement, mine seemed quite natural shaped from the beginning and not overly high or anything so I was happy. Good thing for me too because, If I would have looked like some of the photos I see here I would have FREAKED OUT, even thought the later ones show great improvement in the settling! I thought one of mine was about a 1/8 of an inch off center early on... picky - right? Yeah, I would have freaked out! They are perfect looking now. You will notice at about 2-3 months out they will look really fantastic but maybe bigger than you thought they would end up, so don't buy too many VS bras! (expensive)..... I just bought a swim suit on-line from VS super cute one piece with dripped ruffled shoulder straps. No VS bras yet but, some great comfy bra finds in the clearance isles at other stores. I cannot wear underwire until end of October. Yeah... about the man working at the VS store, If he came up to me with a tape measure (you know how they all walk around with one around their necks, asking if you need to be measured for a bra)...Haha.....I would run the other way! That is nuts! I prefer to shop on-line too!

You look so good! I am not going to invest in any expensive bras, but it is tempting. I'll have to get a pic taken and posted soon. I had the arealo incision and kind of freaked about how they looked a couple days after surgery. Now, at 4 weeks post op, the incision is all healed and the scar is light.

Thanks so much for this great, detailed review. Your new boobs look so great! I think they look perfect and natural on your frame. Even at Day 6! My surgery isn't until January but getting back to the gym will be a big concern for me. I'm happy to see you back at it and not pushing yourself too hard. Have fun getting stronger!

Thanks Elledubs! I have been so busy at work the past 2 weeks that I haven't worked out as much as I'd like to. Tuesday and then tonight I did a spinning bike work out for 45 minutes, lots of sweating, and it felt perfectly normal. I also did some light weights, including plank row with rotation. No problem at all.

Hi Time2Bloom!
Thanks for visiting my review!
I just read yours, great review!
I noticed that you haven't updated your pics in a while though.
How are your girls doing?

I haven't taken pics in a while and keep saying I will. I am doing well and have been lifting weights a bit more. Pushups still not comfortable. The bruising is all gone. And the girls are not complaining at all.

Hey T2B I hear you on the push ups. All I was doing this evening was getting down to lay on my stomach on the floor so I could work the girls a little differently and boy did I feel the pull. It didn't really hurt just surprised me since I've been Nordic Tracking for two weeks now (one week with the arms added). We just have to remember that it takes time for all the tissue to repair itself. Can't wait to see some pics.

Hey Scrappy and Wanna, I just posted some pics. Wanna, I'm glad you're hitting the gym too and getting stronger.

I had a great workout at the gym today. I also walked the dog before going to the gym. I am feeling more normal, except for taking it very easy with upper body stuff.
DH has been key to my smooth recovery so far. He is attentive and sweet. A lot of the bruising color is nearly gone from my left side, and about half gone from my right side. I asked him what he thought of my breasts...he loves them and am amazed at how much younger I look! I can't wait until these puppies drop and fluff. They are feeling softer but still look squarish at the upper pole.
Earlier today I went to mall and decided to visit Victoria's Secret to see if there were any interesting little nighties without underwires. I have not been to a VS for years. So, I was a little surprised to see teenaged girls shopping there, but I know it's a trend for them. But I have to say that I was shocked to see a male salesclerk there! I may be showing my age, but I'd not be comfortable answering honestly to the standard sales question, "are you looking for something special?". LOL, I think I"ll just order online.

Sounds like you're doing great, Time. I cannot wait to get back to working out, but like you I'm following every direction given. Good luck today at the gym.

I had a great workout at the gym. I didn't sweat much but it just felt great to be back. I did 25 minutes on the bike and 10 minutes on the elliptical, then some easy leg exercises to get the muscles to wake up a little. I can't wait to start pumping iron again!
