Symmetrical in a bra
I can't believe to explain how pleased I am...I don't need any extra padding in the right cup....Not even the small chicken fillets...
I am well aware there is still much work to be done on my boobs, that they still look weird and deformed....but to think I never have to wear a sweaty plastic thing against me all day long....Well wow!
Obviously I should still be wearing a post surgery sports bra. This is one of my old bras, just to give me a little more shape as I'm going out on a date tonight xx

Post op, 40 hours
Yesterday I met with the surgeon and discussed what he had done. He said there were many constricting bands which caused the tuberous shape, and it is amazing how the shape of my lower breast is changing already. It feels far rounder... Just as a normal breast should.
He has inserted an allergan 150 permanent expander. This already contains 100cc of silicone and he added a further 80cc of saline solution. He said the maximum it goes up to is 300cc, which should be enough. He will only fill 20-30cc at a time every six weeks or so, so it is very much a case of playing the waiting game. Frustrating as I am so excited at the thought of having a normally shaped right breast, but I have to trust the man. He said he wanted to deal with me personally each time and be there every step of the way.
I have to keep my dressings clean and dry for a week, then they will be removed on Monday or Tuesday. It'll be interesting to see my boob without them! Then my next appointment with the surgeon for the first fill isn't until 28th June. *Sighs* I think that's 9 weeks. I must learn some patience.
I am staying with my best friend. In a bit I'm going to have my first post op bath and she'll wash my hair. I then want us to have a look at my various bra inserts and choose which ones to use between now and the next fill.
Here's a photo just taken, 40 hours post op. Probably doesn't look much different to anyone else but it certainly feels it. The major improvement will be once the fills start expanding the base of the breast to give it the desired rounder shape.

The op
Shortly before the op I was given an anti nausea and anti reflux tablet. It was good to be able to have them with a sip of water as I was so thirsty by then. I was fitted with anti embolism stockings and then walked into theatre. It was all kept very light hearted and when the surgeon arrived to take a couple of chest photos (no face obviously) I joked about how I couldn't stop myself from pulling my stomach in and pouting. The ladies got behind me and pretended to check their lipgloss etc. I then lay back and started breathing into an oxygen mask. They gave me something that would "make me feel as though I'd had a large glass of wine", it did ;-) and I joked about singing karoake. They told me I would be going under soon and we briefly discussed karoake and then I was out like a light.
To me I was woken instantly, though of course it was a couple of hours later. I remember telling the nurses why I'd had the op done and how my ex husband had cheated on me. I was wheeled back to my bay and texted my boyfriend to tell him I loved him. I almost immediately started looking and feeling my boob, there is already a noticeable improvement.
