So today was my one month boob-iversary... Lol. I'm happy to see pain is very minimal. Sleeping on both sides, which is great. Lefty is ahead of right with drop and fluff and at this point probably a solid half cup bigger. Mondors cords are gone on lefty, but have appears on right but not as bad. I also have some slight rippling on my lefty under my armpit. It is really only noticable by touch, I can see it when I look for it but no one else would ever notice. I will ask my pS about it Next week at my 6 week check up. But I mean my implants are under the muscle and the shaped so in that way I feel like I'm just bound to ripple bc they say the cohesive shaped are your best bet at avoiding it. So I wonder how much rippling I would have if I had gone with round silicone?! Yikes! I feel like my chest muscles across the center are still quite tight. I can still feel them stretchin when I stretch my arms back and tr Tri touch my elbows behind me. Like they kinda hurt so I think they need to loosen quite a bit. I'm hoping I get a bit more "boob" definition in the center of my chest. I went to victories secret and am fitting into a 32DD (!!) very well there. I think I will wear a 32/34D in the other brands as I have found in the past Vs runs small. But I have some gift card to use there so I want to get some swimsuit tops. Even if doc clears me to wear underwire next week I won't until my mondors cords go away bc the underwires make me really sore. Overall though I love my new boobs and I just am having so much fun with tops and dresses and it's just so bizarre to wear clothes bc they all just fit so nice and different an I love them!

Bathing suit
This is my only bathing suit that still fits! And I had like 15 that I collected over the years. I bought this one when I was nursing my first baby so makes sense it would be a little bigger than my others.

How are yours feeling? Are they still pretty firm? I am 6 weeks post op and I feel like some days they are really firm (especially after I've been working out) and other days they feel more squishy, not jiggly, but squishier. My PS said it could take up to 4-6 months for them to soften to what they will be like for good.

That's funny you say that bc I feel the same way about the firmness. Some days they seems squishy and others really firm. In general I think I have a ways to go as far as the drop and fluff. I can sleep on my left side but not my right. My right is a bit behind my left in the whole process. Good news is my left is bigger than my right so that seems to mean they won't shrink as I go forward. I have always had a lot of space between my boobs and didn't really expect that to change, I would like to be able to create cleavage by pushing them together and I think eventually I will be able to as they soften. At 6 weeks I wouldn't worry you still have a ways to go!

I am 11 months in and when I first wake up..and pull off my two sleeping bras..they are firmer for about five minutes then relax into squishiness...completely, until I get out of the shower, rub my boobs with coconut lil..and put another two bras back on..hehe.
Point being..think that doesn't signify any concerns.;-)

You look amazing! Perfect size for you! I have surgery with Dr Vath in March and I'm enjoying seeing all these reviews from his patients. I especially like seeing post op pics of ladies getting close to the size I've chosen!

Thank you! The staff there is great and the surgery team is amazing. I read horror stories about recovery and every time I asked Dr. vath about it he sort of brushed it off and said "oh it's not a big deal... You'll be fine after a few days". Well he was right. I feel like he is meticulous in his muscle dissection and leads patients to a natural looking implant that is not too big for their body and therefore the recovery is not too bad. My mom had reconstructive surgery 20 years ago and she was just amazed at my recovery. Obviously times have changed, but I feel like a lot of it is surgical technique. Good luck I will be following you progress!

Awesome! Thanks so much. I wish I was able to do the Vectra imaging before my surgery! :(

Ah I just saw this! I hope to be able to create cleavage but after trying on some push up bras they just look ridiculously large so we will see! I will need to find a cleavage-inducing bra that isn't super added if that is possible?! I'm able to squish them closer together than a week ago so that's nice.

2 weeks out.. Mondors cords but still loving them!
So I am 15 days post op. I'm pretty much back to full range of motion with no pain. I do find my incisions get sore at the end of the day sometimes. My energy level is also not quite back to where it was, but that could also be because I'm not working out like usual. I hope to get back to weights and stuff this weekend. I know I can't run until closer to 6 weeks. I felt a weird "popping" in my left boob the other day and low and behold upon inspection there is 1-2 mondors cords. They don't really hurt, just feel weird. The last two days my nipples have become hyper sensitive. Almost a burning feeling. Kind of annoying. They seem to be dropping and fluffing. The left is softening much faster than the right. I'm a smallish D/large C right now and when all is said and done I think I will be a D cup, which I'm very happy with. I was sort of terrified of ending up only a B cup with 295cc but thats obviously not happening. I'm very happy with them so far!
