Ok my story. I have always had large breast. The real issue has been the last 10 years with back and neck pain. Clothes never fit right. I was a size E! Nurse said when the swelling goes down my final will be a small c!! Couldn't be happier with the size. I haven't had and back or neck pain since the surgery but I have been on pain meds. So we will c in a few days when I stop the meds. But I am confident that there will be no pain. I was so happy when the nurse took the bandages off yesterday. I was able to put on a medium sports bra!!and it fit! Super exited I have not had to adjust the bra since I put it on. Crazy considering when I had my e's and I put a bra on I was always adjusting them. This is a new chapter in my life and I'm gonna take full advantage of it. I have got to work on this belly! I don't remember it being this big hahahahaha! But, hey that's something I can fix on my own. Thank u ladies for all of ur stories. I have read them all. Will keep u posted!

Congrats, you look great! I know what you mean about the belly, I'm a 34G and feel like my chest makes my stomach look smaller. I'm working on losing some weight before my BR on 8/4, so my middle stays proportionately sized with smaller breasts! Best wishes for a smooth recovery!

Ok it's been up and down. I am loven my new boobies!! Husband does too as long as I keep my bra on! Lol don't blame him! Went on Wes day and got my first set of stitches out. Dr said my right nipple has went into shock. So that is why it's still dark. But he is confident that it will come back to life! I do have small dog ears on both side but dr said to give them 4 months to settle but if they don't it's an easy fix. So I'm not to worried. The size is perfect. Still has alittle bit of swelling. I knew they weren't gonna be perfect. But they are perfect to me. My main goal was to stop the neck and back pain. And which I have not had any other than me tired of sleeping on my back. Oh how I miss sleeping on my stomach. But that day is coming soon.been walking on the treadmill daily. Nothing fast just a slow walk. Can't wait to go running. I miss running with my husband. I have got to get rid of this stomach. But iv lost 6 pounds since the surgery. I know that was all breast. But I'm gonna keep on loosing. Got my perfect boobs now go 20 pds to loose. I lost 10 befor the surgery. So in all I am doing great!!

Looking good hun, I had the same problem after surgery with my left nipple too. It was all sorted within a few weeks thankfully. Happy healing X

Thank u! I hope so! I am not to worried about it. Still have no feeling in it. But, I knew that it could happen. So I was prepared for things to happen. Over all I have no regrets and would do it all over again. The only regret was that I didn't do it sooner.

You look amazing! How many grams did your PS remove? I'm getting my last runs in this weekend. My surgery is Tuesday. I keep reading about dog ears, I'm not sure what they are.
July 3, 2015
Thank u! He took 200 out my right and 220 out my left. I was a size E before. Um dog ears are where your stitches are and on the corners it comes to a point. Mine are small. So I'm not to worried about. If it don't go down my dr said it an easy fix. He makes a small incision and put a stitch in it to make it lay down. If I was younger I might worry about it! Lol I will be praying for your surgery!

Hello beautiful real ladies! I am 6 weeks post and loving my new babies!! We get along now!! Lol I am healing good. I have a couple of dog ears but, only one that I have real concern for. It's right where my cleavage is. Scared it will show if I wear a bathing suit. My right one that went into shock is coming along good. Still don't have feeling in it. But, my left one is overly sensitive so it holds enough for both. Lol go to the dr next week and will give an update then. Oh BTW I absolutely love going without a bra!!! And u can't even tell! Should have did this year's ago!! I'm free!!! Finally free!! I love reading everyone's stories. And will continue! My husband says I'm addicted! I will agree. ???? talk to yall later!
