800cc Silicone BA

Left one still has some "twinges" of pain from the nipple around to the armpit. Nerves still repairing themselves, but goodness sakes, repair already lol. They have started to drop slightly and I am beginning to see how PERFECT they are. Dr. Clark did such an amazing job. I am so incredibly happy with the results so far. As for my lips, they are completely healed. I can't feel top or bottom no matter how much I try and yes, they totally feel all natural now. I even included some smiles as requested. Overall I am feeling great, both mentally and physically.

Exactly 1 month after surgery was my birthday and the whole reason I got my boobs when I did. I needed them ready to show off...and show off I did. It was Pride weekend in SF as well so my friend and I took off and spent the weekend hanging out, shopping for new clothes, getting drunk and flirting. It was quite the adventure.

Prior to leaving I stopped off at my local Victoria Secret just to see if I could get anything to fit. I actually found quite a few bralettes and a bra that I really liked so I just had to have them. The one bralette shown in the pictures was a halter and so stupid cute. The girl who was helping me and picked them all out said I should wear it to Pride. I asked what I would wear over it and she said nothing. So...I wore nothing over it...and it looked amazing. My boobs are still high and firm so it did little to adjust them, but just enough to push them together quite perfectly.

The last picture was me getting back to the gym this week. My Dr. said I had to wait 4 weeks before I could go back and so after I got back from my weekend adventure, that's exactly what I did. An hour of cardio and a 1/2 hour in the sauna so I was more than a little sweaty at the time. :)

So I'm feeling really good. My left breast still has shooting pains from the nipple down the left side and seems to get worse shortly after laying down. When I went in for my 1 week post op appointment, Dr. Clark mentioned that is just the nerves repairing themselves and should subside. Boy, I sure hope that is soon because it gets really intense at times.

I've gone through the usual "Are you sure they'll drop and fluff?" and "They will round out right?" questioning and Dr. Clark, along with several friends who have had the surgery, have all assured me they will. I do think they look good, and definitely feel great but I am having a hard time visualizing the end result even though I know it will happen. I'm also wishing I had gone much bigger because I am just not seeing the size I was seeing in my head. It's weird, but looking down and looking in a mirror gives a odd 2 dimensional view and I don't think I realize how big they really are. My girlfriend keeps saying "omg, you're boobs are so huge." every day. Maybe I'll see it after they drop, but I am still imagining them being double the size they are now.

I'm also sure my frame size has a lot to do with it which should change as my body continues to change. I gained a lot of weight in the last year, mainly due to increased hours at work, less time to work out and a lot more stress. Unfortunately I still have about 50 lbs to go before I'm back to my goal weight and since my boobs aren't "fat", I won't be losing anything there. Fingers crossed...or I'm going back to Dr. Clark for some 1500cc. :D

My lips are pretty much all healed up. They look really good and I am very happy with the results. They still are dry and I have been using Vaseline and lip balm religiously. Dr. Kaufman did an amazing job though. They have moved or any of the other negative comments I've read. I can't feel the bottom one at all and if I really pay attention I can still feel the top one, but I'm sure that will fade with time.

I didn't get called in early so I showed up at 4:00 pm as requested. I checked in, went over everything with the nurse and met the anesthesiologist. I asked the nurse if they sell videos of "the ride" like they do at Disneyland and she said that would be a good idea, but unfortunately they did not. I asked if she would be willing to take a few pictures for me and she was more than happy to.

Right after, Dr. Kaufman came in and we went over the lip implant procedure. He said he would be doing my lips after Dr. Clark did my BA. Dr. Clark then checked in with me, double checked the size I wanted and we were ready to go. At this point there was not an ounce of anxiety or nervousness. This had been a long time coming and I was just ready.

I was brought into the operating room and laid out on the table. I was told to put my arm straight out on an extension table and then the anesthesiologist asked to put my right arm straight out on that extension table. I don't remember a thing after that. I was out immediately.

I woke up in a total fog. The nurse was chuckling at me as I was groaning and feeling at my chest. It took a few minutes for me to actually come to and my chest felt really tight and lips probably hurt more. At that point, I was off and out the door, heading home with all my pain medications.

Once I got home, I couldn't talk. My lips were in so much pain and so swollen but I definitely liked what I was seeing. I HAVE LIPS. For reals - Lips! I've never had lips and now I have full pouty quack quack duck face lips. I know the swelling will go down but I am sure appreciating them. I took my pain meds and went to sleep - or at least tried to. I couldn't sleep at all. My bottom lip hurt worse than my chest. It wasn't fun.

I had my first post-op appointment at 10:00 am the next morning. The nurse came in, unwrapped me and checked me out. Everything looked great so she put me back together, told me I could shower in a couple days and to go home and get some sleep. Which I did. I spent the rest of the day, and that night in bed finally getting a good amount of sleep.
