Boobie Birthday! 1 Year Old! Still in Love and have No Regrets

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!!

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 >_

So far Dr. Ethridge was extremely informative, and very supportive of any of my decisions and his staff were just absolutely lovely, kind, and more than willing to answer any and all questions! Look forward to working with him and his staff. *after 4 weeks post op* I couldn't be happier!!! I absolutely love what I see and none of this would've happens if it hadn't been for Dr. Ethridge!! His work is AMAZING and I'm so glad to have chosen him and to work with him! He's so calm, confident, and knows what he's doing. He offers many other services but I can testify that when it comes to BA's, he's FANTASTIC! He was very informative and answered any and all concerns. He makes sure I know what to expect, and made me feel very comfortable throughout the whole process as nervous as I was!! So supportive, so great, and I cannot thank him enough! His staff is super sweet and nice too. When it came to inquiring about a consultation through email, they called me back the next day and I was able to book an Appt and a date for surgery. When it came to finances, they were able to show me offers and payment plans that worked for me. When it came to just general advice they were more than happy to offer tips. Made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. I never had to wait long for my appts. I think the longest I waited was maybe 15 min and that was after getting a room for myself. They hold surgeries at the Fort Worth Surgery Clinic. All the staff there was also just as good. The lady who registered me was extremely sweet. It only took 10 min and then I was called to check in/register. Then another 10 min and then I was in the pre op area. Nurses informative and nice, did well in making me feel as comfortable as possible (I was a nervous WRECK!!). Anesthesiologist informative and listened to my needs and made sure to work with my body throughout the surgery. And of course Dr Ethridge on the day of surgery was more than comforting and very good to my mom who was there with me. Words can't describe how happy I am with Dr. Ethridge and his staff! He exudes that calm confidence that I knew right at the consultation that this man knows what he's doing and will get me what I want or as close as he can! Very happy with my results this far and so excited for what's to come :)
