WORTH IT$5,200
All the nerves, the do-I-or-don't-I? back and forth...I'm so glad I did it. I just took advantage of VS's semi-annual sale and actually bought my first push-up bra since the surgery. Yikes! It was bizarre to order 32DDs (a size I'm both mortified of and ecstatic about ;) ), and have them fit well without even having tried them on.
I mostly prefer these simple sports bras, though. Comfortable and they look like camis under tank tops, without the adjustable hardware on them.
You can see how wonkily unbalanced my right and left are from each other in these photos, but it's something I laugh about. I'm just happy to have breasts. :)

6 months out
Jeesh, this is way past due. Oh well. Here are my boobs, 6 months after surgery. Never had any complications. I dig 'em.
Got sized at VS a couple of months ago. Apparently I'm now a 32DD. Doesn't make any sense to me; they're not that big. But the bra fits well, so I guess. I don't really care about the official size - those numbers and cup sizes all seem so arbitrary to me - I just like the way they look and I think they suit my body well.
I've been around family quite a bit and I don't know that any of them have suspected anything. I've yet to wear a swimsuit in front of most. I don't really care anymore, though. I'm glad I did it, so I don't care what they think.
That's about it!

Three weeks in
I am starting to wonder if these monsters are ever going to drop. I have to continuously remind myself that I'm not that far past surgery; not that far into recovery in terms of when they'll be fully healed and settled.
My incisions are healed up pretty well, though the scarring is a little freaky. See today's pictures: when I lift my arms, you can see the skin stretching. I've been massaging my scar gel into each one every time I get out of the shower. I put a dab of the gel on my middle finger and then rub a good, hard, 50 strokes across each scar. Hopefully with more massaging of the breasts and the scars, that'll all soften up and go away.
I'm a little disappointed to see that when I press my breasts together, I have a dent on the inside of my right boob. My right one also doesn't lift up as high under the skin as my left does. Neither one of those things matter much, since my breasts are rarely in a state of being pushed firmly together or pushed as high as they can possibly go, but it signifies less than ideal healing. I continue to massage the crap out of them and am optimistic that it will help those things go away.
I stopped taking anything for pain a couple of days after the two week mark. Morning boob has significantly decreased, thank goodness!
My nipples still often feel very tender, though, as well as the underside of my boobs.
I went ahead and got all the way into the pool on Tuesday, as I felt my incisions were healed enough to do so. It's nice to get in the water again, though I still can hardly swim. I do the bare minimum and move my arms pretty slowly. I think it will be a good way to ease those muscles back into action over the coming weeks.
I think VS's semi-annual sale is going on right now and at 3 weeks, I'm cleared to wear "regular" bras without underwires. I'm tempted to go get sized, but since they really haven't dropped at all, I don't think I will. Plus I'm bra-shopped out. I'll wait until they've settled a bit more and then go check the situation out.
Last weekend I got to wear a Prana dress with a built-in bra - something I'd never have been able to pull off before. It was glorious! We went out to dinner and then attended a wedding. My husband said a lot of men AND women were looking at me. I felt equally squeamish and happy about that. It's nice to feel attractive, but I only like getting attention to a certain extent. I mostly just don't make eye contact and then I don't notice whether I'm getting looked at or not. I like that solution. :) I had taken a photo of this but I deleted it without thinking of sharing it here.
Still feel like this was the best $5,000 I have ever spent, even if they were to stay as fake looking as they do right now, ha! Could do without the little pain strikes here and there and the general sensitivity, but will hope that another 3 weeks will see some of that disappear.

Okay, I take it back. After looking more closely at my other photos the last couple of weeks, I would say they are dropping a little, with some nice sloping! Good to see!

Oh my gosh, you look soooo good!! You're only 3 weeks!?? Wow! If you look this good now, you'll love your result in 3 months!! I know all about the fun cleavage dent...I think I discovered mine around 3 weeks too- I CAN say that as I drop and soften more, it is getting less obvious, so that's good news!!
Regardless, they look so beautiful!
In clothes they are so perfect..not fake perfect, but naturally perfect! Not high or fake looking at all: )
I know what you mean about the attention..I just try not to notice it, but it's amazing how you'll draw attention from all over now, and fast! Haha! It's kind of funny how men are...never knew about the power of a set of boobs! Ha!
Anyhow, keep updating, I always love reading your posts: )) xo

Yes, isn't it bizarre?! Of course I've always "known" about guys and boobs, but it is ridiculous. I get second looks and smiles now. It kind of makes me sad for humanity that it took BOOBS for men to take more notice of me. That THAT'S what gets attention. On the other hand, I love them, too. They are quite lovely and eye-catching. So...I'm a hypocrite ;)
I read in your update that your dent seems to be improving - that's good to hear! I can certainly live with it, but sure wouldn't mind seeing it go.
And thanks for the compliments. I do wonder sometimes if I should have gone up another 25ccs, but I think they're fine.

Hi!! How are you doing? How is the dent in your cleavage, has it settled down at all?
I'm at 10 weeks now and I'm happy to say, mine is GONE!!
As they softened and settled more, it's become a non-issue. The doctor did said it may very well go away: ) Just wanted to share that hopeful news with you! : )) Hope you're well & happy!! XO

I identified with your 1st initial post so well....it's as if you were writing my story.
I do have a few questions for you... How do you feel them now? Are they soft? Do they feel like they are part of you or does it feel like a foreign object in you? What about when you lay face down on a hard surface, any comment on that? How does your husband feel about them now? Do they feel like a real ones to him or no, but he doesn't even care cuz they are so fun?
