My body doesn't take scarring well.
WORTH IT
I've learned my body does not like scars. I have tried everything from daily mosturising massages to bio oil to coconut oil, everything. I believe it's hypertrophic scarring and it seems to still be developing as of now, 10 and a half months in. To be honest, I don't mind much, although I would love to have thin, faded scars but whatever. I'm used to it. It's no one's fault. I think it's just an issue of bad luck with this surgery, so I cannot fault anyone or anything but my own body. I do get self conscious, though, especially with my boyfriend. I think it's something I just need time to get over. The scars are a lot fading slowly and a bit flatte, which is nice. My boobs have settled, I've noticed and sag more than before, although I expected that. At a 36D, I expect sagging. They're not pretty and not small, but at least they aren't huge anymore! :)

Sorry for the crappy update, but not much has changed. No pain at all and I feel great about how they look. Will be posting pictures soon and doing before and after comparisons.
Happy healing! Good luck to all you lovely ladies starting your journey!

With a surgical bra are they one size fits all? The surgeon I am using does not have his patients use a bra post surgery, which concerns me a bit. Also, will the 20 pounds affect the size of your new breasts, do you know?

I have Mareena bras in M and L, although the Large one fits me a lot better, since I ended up a D. My doctor recommended I use it for 4 to 6 weeks after, although I still use it to sleep. I think you should get at least 1, they're really good compression bras and made me feel super safe and kept pain to a minimum by minimising movement. Even if he didn't say anything, I know most do, and I personally recommend it. Or a tight sports bra if you wanna go the cheaper route. As long as it applies pressure to keep the swelling down, it should do the trick.
I think the 20 pounds will affect the size of my breasts, although not too much. As long as the weight loss is not drastic, like, say 50-90 pounds, the difference will not be huge. That is what my doctor told me when I asked. I would like to lose 20 or more pounds, maybe get down to a C, but I'm not gonna do it ridiculously fast so my breasts have time to adjust and I don't get a ridiculous amount of stretch marks, hah.
Let me know if you have any more questions. I'd love to help as best I can!

Quick Update - 7 Weeks!
Everything is great. Nothing open anymore. Scars are starting to fade. Moisturising every day, a few times a day. I apologise for the quality of the picture, it's the only thing I have for now!
Best decision of my life - cannot change my mind about that! I've finally been getting my energy back and I feel great. Absolutely no pain. Can't wait to get sized, although my 36D bras fit a tiny bit loosely. I tried on some old C's as well, but they were too tight. Looks like I'm a small D! So, so happy! Now to buy new bras, without underwire. :)
I hope everyone is doing alright. Happy healing!

Hey they look great and glad it went smoothly. I have a question did you have insurance ? If not how much did it Cost
August 5, 2014
Hey, thanks! I didn't have insurance. My doctor is actually my grandfather's good friend. They refer reach other patients and stuff, so he decided to do it for free, which was great.

Looking great! Are you still only wearing a surgical bra?
My surgery is coming up so soon, isn't it crazy how time flies?
August 7, 2014
Yeah, my doctor told me to wear the bra for 4-6 weeks, and I just haven't gotten around to getting wireless bras yet! But I will soon. :) It is crazy! It's been a little over 50 days for me already. It really is crazy. How much until yours?
August 12, 2014
Wow, it's been so long but feels so short, I remember when you were just getting ready for yours? Mine is in about a week and few days. I think I've bought everything I need and I'm going crazy now that there's nothing left for me to do but wait!!
