26 Years Old, 350cc HP Natrelle, Hoping for a Full C Cup! - Edison, NJ

this emotional roller coaster continues haha... Today I finally feel a little happier with my size and I think they have dropped a tiny bit. Now I can't believe I was ever wishing I had gone bigger... I think this size suits me well and every day the look a little nicer. Today was also the first day I didn't wake up in pain, hooray!

I've been a little shy about posting some full frontal shots because firstly I am shy and second, my nipples were looking cray cray for lack of a better word haha. BUT today I finally think I am seeing progress and Im ready to share.. These two pictures were from post op day 3, and then post op day 9. I'm feeling a little less tight and I think it shows! Also Im done kidding myself.... My nipples were a little off to begin with. I suppose something could be done to reposition them somehow but Im
Not sure if it's worth it to me. I don't like their crooked position.. But I am happy with my new chest and Im not going to start nit picking over my slight asymmetries.

I'm kind of shocked at my cleavage. I'm still not sure if it is swelling or what, but I never imagined this look was possible, I was so flat pre op. Suddenly remembering my asthma doctor telling me that I have a slight pectus excavatum. Basically it meant my chest is a little concave. My PS never pointed out anything unusual, but I'm thinking that MUST be why my implants look so close together. Concave chest=implants falling closer together? Me being a nurse and paranoid by nature..I keep worrying about symmastia. Honestly...does this cleavage/swelling look ok? or is it borderline uniboob? ugh.

So I am 1 week out and happy to say most of my pain and discomfort has subsided! I must say the first few days were more difficult than I expected... But I do know everyone recovers differently. I've been having some doubts and feeling a little down over the size I chose... It turns out I love the look of 'riding high'. I am upset to think when the swelling goes down they will appear smaller. I expressed my concerns today at my first post op appointment and my surgeon explained that he first tried 400cc implant on me, but my chest wall apparently is very narrow, it didn't look right and wasn't a good fit... That the 350 was more in my best interest. I actually feel relieved hearing this and I am no longer feeling such strong regrets about the size I wound up with. I trust his judgment. He also reminded me that even if i went with a larger implant, I STILL wouldn't be able to maintain that crazy upper pole fullness that I have going on right now. Gravity doesn't allow it, all boobs must come down into their natural place... I guess I'll be taking a trip to Victoria's secret for some super push ups!

Besides the morning boob, Im also noticing some strange sensations.. A little burning around the nipple, but that is not where my incision is. Nerves regenerating maybe?? Anyone else feeling burning? I forgot to ask him about this at my appointment. Also I was never instructed to massage. Seems like many posts I've read talk about massage.. Wondering if Im missing out on something important or it is just a matter of surgeon preference?? Why do I always forget to ask these things once the doctor walks in?!

I had a lot of fun trying on my old bras and bikini tops today and seeing myself busting out of them haha!. It also put things into perspective that I am not as 'small' as Im worrying about. I'm still way bigger than I was before and that's great!
