Boobie Birthday! 1 Year Old! Still in Love and have No Regrets
WORTH IT$5,890
Finally reached my 1 year mark! I'm sorry I haven't updated since my 2 month mark, but everything since then has been good. I have had no complications, still doing a set of massages once a day, and they did drop some more but have been stable after around 6-8 months. Or at least I haven't noticed any further changes. Only thing I am a little concerned about is that I still have nerve pains after a whole YEAR! My doctor said usually it lasts 4-6 months, but I still get them fairly often, like I'll feel something a couple times a day or every other day. Not sure what's that about... May email my doctor to see if that's normal. One things for sure though, I have never felt more confident in my life! This is still to me one of the best decisions I've made for myself and couldn't be happier with my results! I'm happy to have shared my story on real self. It was this blog site that made me feel confident about my decision to have a BA and to be prepared and know what to expect and I hope someone can take something out of my journey. Thanks guys for the support! Yall are amazing people.

Bra shopping!
Hello loves! Just a short update and lots of pictures! So I'm 11.5 wks post op and doing extremely well. I'm back to all my normal routines, but have yet to find a sports bra that really supports the girls! Will probably have to spend a pretty penny to get a good one for my cardio classes. I did a WHOLE lotta bra shopping!! Couldn't help myself, but it was so much fun! Been getting primarily 34C although one brand was small so I for a 34D instead. I also ordered several bras from the VS semi annual online and sure I'll buy more when it comes to stores lol. I saw my doctor again this week too for a quick check up. He says I look really good! Told me to only do in and up massages (I'll post a pic if this doesn't make since). No more down massage. He says he doesn't want them to drop any more. Even though my right side is still a little high, he said it'll sort itself out eventually. He also said that these massages should be done 1-2 times a day for years to come! That surprised me, but he said I needed to keep the pocket formed for my implants so the tissue underneath doesn't heal back to normal and ruin the implant placement. I am thoroughly enjoying the beginnings of summer and feel like I got my BA right in time!! Hope all you ladies are doing well and enjoy the Summer!!

Wow! They look so soft! Again, even though you have HP, they look natural to me. They suit you perfectly! Oh! This is the first time I read about massages that need to be performed for such a long time. Have you asked him why? Enjoy the summer! Take care!

On my post paperwork it says you should massage as long as you have implants. I've read this on a few other sites as well

Hi there, you look fantastic! Hope your recovery has continued to get better and better. I am also a nurse and I'm scheduled for September and I'll be returning to work after 2 weeks, any tips/ do's or dont's for going back to patient care?

August 18, 2014
Thank you! I'm already 5 mo post op and I'm doing great. I took 3 weeks off total, but felt OK when I came back. 2 weeks may not be enough. Nursing can be super stressful and physical. At 2 weeks I was just getting ok at moving around and doing little things at home. But if you really have to come back in 2 weeks just make sure you have very good coworkers to help you out! Def no turning, lifting, or anything too physical. Just take it easy. At 4 weeks work was better. I got the ok to lift > 8lbs by my doctor, and I didn't feel as tired. Just take it easy!! If you think you need more time to recuperate definitely do it! Good luck with everything and lemme know if you have any questions!

Thanks so much! Unfortunately we can't take more than 2 weeks off at a time, but most of my coworkers know about my procedure so hopefully they will all be willing to help!

8 Weeks post op
Hey ladies! Hope everyone is well! Things are still going good for me! My incision that had the knot/suture abscess has completely healed and I've been doing massages to that side since! I try to do a little extra since that side has to catch up to my left side. My boobs have gotten so much squishier since too!!! I love it!! I find my self playing with my boobs way more lol. All my friends at work are saying they look great and my family in Pennsylvania this weekend all thought the same too. So exciting! No one has ever talked negatively towards my decision to get breast implants which I appreciate the most. I always thought I'd be judged poorly for spending so much money on fake boobs that has not been the case at all.
I'm working out more regularly now but I do need to purchase some good securing sports bras! In classes where there's more jumping I find my self holding the girls down with my arms! I still lack chest muscles and things like closing trunk of the car are slightly difficult and push ups impossible. Not quite sure when I'll be able to do those things again with ease. I got a chance to finally sport a swim suit by the pool and felt awesome, but when my friend pulled herself over the edge of the pool to get out, I couldn't so it at all and had to walk around to the stairs of the pool! Little embarrassing.
I plan to get officially sized at VS when I'm off work this week, but I did purchase a couple bras at Marshall's and Target on sale that were 34 C and fit me perfectly! Just the size that I was hoping to be! And I think they look AND feel AMAZING!!!! I get happier with my results every week as they progressively look/feel more and more natural!! The profile of my boobs looks a lot better and you can tell they've been dropping. This has definitely been one of the best decisions I've made because I feel so much happier with myself and have one less thing to worry about in the back of my mind :)
I will be able to wear under wire bras in 2 weeks at the 10 week/2 month mark. One thing that I will say that I've noticed however when I tried on bras is that push up bras do absolutely nothing for me. Has anyone else noticed this?? I guess I never thought about it but I guess since my boobs don't move as much as real boobs do, the "push up" portion if push up bras just sorta sit underneath my boob and don't push them anywhere. Honestly I'm perfectly happy sticking to Demi bras and wire less since they tend to be more comfortable anyways and my cleavage is good as is. Just wondering if anyone else had this issue with push up bras, or am I trying them on too soon? Not sure :/
My nipples are still sensitive but definitely not hyper sensitive. They were never sensitive to the point of hurting so I guess I lucked out there. I really need to stop going shopping but I can't help but feel overly excited every time I try on clothes that look so much better on me with my new "accessories" :D hoping the VS semi annual sale starts soon, I always forget whether it's in June or July >_

I'm so glad that you are doing great! Your incision looks healed!! That is fantastic!! Well... Your girls look so natural to me. I would never tell you got HP. Never! They are so soft too! I'm about to start working out, and I wonder about them moving up and down. So, I decided to wear my surgical bra for some time. It is tight, so it will be great for boobies, but I have no idea how well that will go with breathing. lol I will see! If you get some good sports bras, please let me know. :) Take care!!

May 7, 2014
My friend said there are some really good sport bras at VS that'll hold the girls down so I was gonna check there first, I'll let you know if I find anything good! I remember being unsure about HP too but when I showed him my wish pics he told me HP would gimme what I wanted, and I'm so glad I trusted his judgement! Love my PS!!! Gave me exactly what I wanted and I couldn't be happier :) hope your girls are doing well too!!
