I'm three months post ba! So you don't have to read all the way back through: I had 375 cc, mentor moderate plus silicone implants. I'm 5'8, 133 lbs, and started as a 36a and am now a 36c.
I think my girls have settled all the way now, they are soft and I only rarely feel a little ting of pain, when I do it's a very faint feeling at the incision, likely the cut healing. I have to say I'm very happy with my size, I don't feel at all like I should have gone bigger. We went on vacation a week ago and it was probably the first time I ever felt ' hot' in a swimsuit! I'm loving filling out all my summer dresses and tank tops! And, not one person has asked, I have only told my parents (because they babysat during the surgery) my husband (obviously;) and my best friend, and no one has seemed like they noticed outside those few that I told. I'm a little nervous that when my local friends see me a suit that they will notice, but maybe not since I've been so up and down in size with having babies in the past 5 years. Over all I'm very happy I had this done and I hope if your considering it that my posts have helped some! This site has been amazing to have through this!!

Though I feel like I'm writing to myself;) im posting an update because I got my first swimsuits since my new boobs! My left side has moved out of my armpit so I'm feeling pretty much back to normal especially too because I have no more afternoon tightening. I still feel like I can't wear a regular bra all day, I'm curious about when any of you could you comfortably wear an underwire?? I'm still in my ugly old nursing bras, and hoping to move on to new cute ones soon. Im back to regular exercise and I did do push ups for the first time tonight, just a few.. Baby steps! Here are my new suits, I really like the side boob in the black one!

You look great in the bathing suits! congratulations! At 4 weeks my doctor said it was okay for me to wear wireless. My next visit after that, he said it was okay to wear any type of bra. By 6-8 weeks, I noticed my boobs felt much softer and more natural.

You do look GREAT in them!! I bet you can't wait for summer this year! One of the things I'm most excited for is swimsuit shopping :) I'm going a tad smaller than you and am a tad shorter but I hope my results look as good as yours in a bikini..congrats!

Thanks!! Congrats on your future BA! Im so ready to at least wear a tank top! Sweaters are taking away all the fun! I wonder if people will notice once I'm in a swim suit, we live on a lake so most of our friends have seen the before me, I'm curious to see if anyone asks or comets then. Good luck to you!!

Hi you look great! Just wondering how you feel exercising doing push ups etc? I'm nervous about being able to resume my normal cross fit exercise regime but you sound like your recovery is going well and will in time be able to get back into it! I have small kids too so worried about recovery with them. How long realistically did it take until it was more manageable. I don't want to tell anyone also so hoping to be very organised post surgery. Thanks for your updates!

Thanks! I had zero strength in my pecs., until yesterday when i tried again to do a push up and was pleasantly surprised that I could go about half way to the floor and back up. I can't do any exercises that put a lot of body weight on my arms, it feels like my incisions kinda tug my skin, and I just don't have any strentgth in my pecs. I was in pain for three weeks, just uncomfortable week four, and feel totally normal this week (5) except for exercises that utilize pecs. I started picking up my kids here and there at the end of week three, I tried to bend close to them and hold them to me to lift, so I didn't stress the muscles too much. Honestly, during the first three weeks it felt like the pain was never going to go away entirely, even though it got a little better each day. But, now 5 ish weeks later, it's pretty much back to normal! The pain is definitely not the best, but keep telling yourself in a few weeks it will all be over and you'll have great boobs to show for it! I haven't told anyone either, and no one has noticed, not even my kids. Congrats and good luck!!!

Hi!
Thanks for taking the time to email me! We sound like we are in the same boat! That sounds all great thanks! I'm booked for May and feel anxious as it's tough having little kids and trying to keep it a secret! Good luck you look fantastic!

You look great- did you get mentor moderate or moderate plus? Your results look similar to mine and I got moderates- can't find many people who chose that profile ;)

Hi! Thanks! My doc picked my profile, and I have mentor moderate plus... I'm guessing because of my broader frame? Your results look great too!!
