6 months!
WORTH IT$8,000
So I'm just a week shy of 6 months! Woohoo :) at this point everything feels pretty much completely normal, I'm sleeping on my sides and stomach (don't tell Dr C.) I'm occasionally wearing padded bras and I can lift etc completely normally! Yay!
Bras with wire are definitely a little uncomfortable because the wire tends to sit directly on my incisions which are still slightly tender! After wearing a "normal" bra for a few hours it just gets a little annoying, but on the flip side it's getting colder up here and my bandeaus and sports bras sure don't hide cold winter nipples LOL
I'm a LITTLE worried about my right boob, it seems to kinda fall off to the side (more then leftie) when I'm laying down flat on my back, I'm not sure if this is completely normal or if the implant is able to move to much, I see Dr Chong in January, assuming nothing comes up before then I'll have to ask him about it!
My incision scars are unfortunately not pretty, I'm still taping them and in between tape I slather them with bio oil. The scaring is slowing fading but I think I may still take the revision that my doctor has already offered. Even though I know the scars will fade, we had to let the big holes heal on their own, and so the skin pulls in funny directions when I move and it kinda rubs together sometimes and bothers me!
One last note, no one warns you pre op that bra shopping becomes hell LOL implants definitely do not fit into bras the same as natural boobs do, do yourselves a favour and wait until your at least 3 months post before you start blowing money on expensive bras! The bras I bought early on still fit me but because the implants dropped, the fit differently and cut into my incisions so bad :(!!
I'll try to take some new pictures and post them later this week!!

15 weeks post op
Made it to 15 weeks woohoo! So at this point everything is pretty healed (thank Every god out there) my boobs haven't dropped anymore in a while, they're staying where they are which in happy about, they're still super perky!
My nipples are still sensitive but I have full feeling in both so no complaints.
I went through a period of time where it would kind feel gross when I could feel my implants moving (for example, sweeping, driving, moving around when I was sleeping) but I think I've just gotten used to that now and it doesn't bother me anymore.
My PS told me a few weeks ago that I could wear normal bras with padding and wire if I wanted, I have a few times but I don't really like it yet. It makes me feel really stiff after an hour or 2, not to mention Pamela Anderson. It also seems to put strain on my back where more supportive bras don't do that! And because my boobs are so round and haven't really softened up yet, they don't seem to fit quite right!
And last up, my incision holes have FINALLY totally closed over, literally within the past few days they both have finally closed. I've been wearing bandaids over the holes/cuts for what feels like an eternity, my skin around them grew to be so irritated from changing the bandaids twice a day. I had bleeding little cuts at some points from the bandaid adhesive ripping away little parts of already irritated skin. It was hell and scary and I'm so glad that after everything I went through with these (pardon my French) [RS bleep] holes, it's over and they're closed. Now half of my incision is beautiful and perfect and half is a fairly ugly scar but in hopeful that bio oil will help a lot and it it doesn't help enough, my plastic surgeon has already told me he will do a scar revision. The future of my girls is looking totally clear now :)
Even though I had a really hard time with the healing process, I can say that I would do it again to have the boobs that I have now. When people ask me was it worth it, I try to answer honestly and explain the struggles that I had but I also love what I have now :) you have to go into this surgery knowing that recovery IS hard, the risks ARE there, there Is a VERY good chance that not everything will go perfectly! But a few months after, when everything is seeming to back to normal, you'll know too that it was worth it :)

They look awesome! Would you be willing to message me about the consultation process and if you put down a down payment? And how long the wait was if there was one?

More boobies pictures!
So going into this surgery I was worried about having my breasts be really far apart! I didn't want the "Grand Canyon" between my boobs. I waited 21 years for cleavage!!
I'm a picky girl tho, I also wanted side boob :p I'm not sure if it's because I'm pretty skinny but I got both and a lot of both

Wow what a journey you have had! I'm glad everything is going well. You are a strong lady. I am 17 days post op and just started massaging. Still have soreness and swolleness in the evenings and praying they drop soon.
