Time is flying, these are my boobs!!!
I really can't believe it's almost 7 weeks post op! Time is going by so quickly and from day to day I rarely think about my boobs! Before I had my BA I thought that my boobs would look weird for ages and that I would have to wear certain clothes to cover them up and make them look normal! I can honestly say, I haven't made any attempts to make them appear 'normal', and nobody has noticed a thing! For people not to notice is exactly what I wanted pre-op, however now that they are here and I have gotten so used to them then yeah there are times when I feel like I should have gotten them bigger! But then again... they might have drawn to much attention and people might have noticed and I might have been unhappy! So, I am overall very happy with the way they have turned out!
They are softening up quite a bit the last couple of weeks! I went to Dr.Salman for a checkup on the 19th February and he gave me the go ahead for wearing real bras! So he measured by band size as a 34 and told me no matter what that I was always to stick with a 34 band, ignore 'sister sizes' and always wear a 34 band to prevent my new lovely boobs from sagging! He told me to try a C, D and DD cup and see which one fitted best! His advice was that two fingers should fit under the straps and the cup should gently cup my breast at the top, should not dig in and not be loose! He said they were healing nicely and would continue to improve over time. It was a very short meeting but I didn't have any questions for him and everything was ok so I was happy to be in and out quickly!
I decided to buy a couple of cheap bras for now as I still feel like the results are not final yet and I don't want to spend lots of money on expensive bras for them not to fit me in a few months! I dragged my boyfriend to penneys (primark) to get some! I was so excited, bra shopping was something I had dreamt about doing for a long time... the day when I could finally buy beautiful bras in a decent size! The experience wasn't as fantastic as it was in my dreams, I found it so overwhelming and difficult to judge what was actually fitting me the way Dr.Salman described! I suppose it's something that's second nature to someone with natural boobs, but choosing a bra and knowing how it's supposed to fit was so alien to me after years of stuffing my bras to the point where my nipples were almost sticking out the top! lol :) It didn't help that they were still quite stiff at the time so the bra had to fit them, rather than my boobs fitting into the bra if I'm making sense? I eventually decided that the 34C cups were too small, some of the 34D cups were also too tight around the cup when I put on a t-shirt you could clearly see a bulge! I was shocked as I really thought they didn't look anymore than a C cup! The DD cup in some bras fitted me nicely but the twin pack I chose in the end fitted better in a D! I'm hoping that when I buy some good bras in a few weeks that they will have softened nicely and choosing a bra won't be so confusing! I suppose it will also help to have a fitting attendant help with sizing! Another thing I will definitely need to invest in is lots of new bikinis! I pulled out all my old ones the other day and the cups just about cover my nipples! :)
Anyway, here's my up to date pictures too! It finally clicked with me that my camera has a timer, I feel a bit dumb for not having thought of that sooner!:) Best of luck to Mixie1 who's having her BA tomorrow morning! :) I'll be thinking of you missus... everything will be fine! :) x

slowly getting softer!!
Very short entry here but just wanted to update with some pics before i go to sleep! Will post more detail soon :-)Apologies on the image quality, lighting in my room is so dark and my mirror is v.grubby! :-)
Every day my boobs are feeling softer and looking more natural. Most of the time i forget i even have them, i suppose they are beginning to feel more like a part of me! I feel more feminine and confident.... i love having boobs! :-)

Love trying on clothes!!
I can't believe today marks three weeks since my BA! Time has flown by, recovery has been a breeze and I'm completely in love with my boobs! Albeit they are still hard and stiff and sometimes strange looking, it feels great to finally feel like a woman! I find myself trying on clothes in shops with no intention of buying anything, just to see what my boobs look like in clothes I wouldn't have worn before!!!
The feeling in them hasn't really come back yet, I get weird sensations when I touch them so I'm sure it's just a matter of time before I can feel again! I was sick of going around without a bra, the weather is getting so cold and I started feeling a bit awkward in some situations! I bought a cute sports bra in H&M, I only wear it when I really have to and still go without a bra most of the time. They look fine in tops/t-shirts, you wouldn't think I'm not wearing a bra but i get self conscious when my nipples go hard.
My scars are healing well, I have started using bio-oil (when I remember!) and the scabs came off when rubbing it in, (sorry, too much info) they are way less visible now and really blend into my crease.
Sleeping isn't a problem, I can lay on any side or my back. I was never a belly sleeper but might try this tonight out of curiosity! I got my boyfriend to take some pics on Friday night (3 days ago), I'm not sure if they are much good, the lighting in the bathroom is weird! Again, pics really don't do them much justice! Maybe when they are fully settled they will look good in pictures! The rest of the pictures took myself this evening, I am noticing tiny changes but nothing drastic! They still seem small to me, but perfect because people really will not notice, which is exactly what I wanted. Still get pangs of wanting them bigger but I'm so happy to have boobs, finally! :) I do feel like they are quite far apart, again they were widely spaced to begin with so it's just my natural anatomy! Hoping the gap might close though when they soften... even just a little! Time will tell I suppose!
I found pictures on my laptop of me wearing a bikini last year, I was trying to document my weight loss! (ahem... still in progress!!) I tried on the bikini the other day for a before and after comparison, it made me smile! I must say they do look fantastic in a bikini.... now to get on the weight loss wagon once again!! It's almost a shame to be overweight with these beautiful boobs, they are giving me inspiration! :) lol

Provider Review
I would describe Dr.Salman as being very human. I have had consultations with other surgeons in the past and never felt 100% comfortable to have the procedure with them. Dr. Salman answered all my questions honestly and was realistic about the results I could expect. He was kind and respectful in all my dealings with him. I am 3 days post op so have a bit of healing to do, but I can tell I will be so happy with the end results.
