WORTH IT
At four weeks, I thought my breasts were at decent size even though they were slightly smaller after swelling. Now that I am more than two months out, I'm somewhat sad about the results. Don't get me wrong, I still love having breasts now compared to before, but they are smaller than I expected and hoped for. They have dropped, but did not fluff so did not get bigger at all. All the sport bras I originally bought postop are a bit loose now. I can fit my old sport bras again. :/ In order to get the cleavage I want, I will probably have to wear a push-up bra as I did before. Prior to the surgery, I was really excited and looked forward to going bra-less, but I don't think that will happen now. I even asked my fiancé to make sure that they are not looking smaller because I'm getting used to them. He confirmed that they have shrunk, but does look natural. At this point, I wish I had gone a little bit bigger and with HP. I guess I will just have to deal with the size for now since there isn't much of an alternative option.
I also noticed that my right breast moves around a bit more than the left. And when laying down, it moves out further to the side. I'm a bit concerned about this and have contacted my doctor's office. Waiting for an answer. Hoping it's nothing serious.

When's your next appointment? I just saw him today for my 1 week post op for the one boob revision I had. It's going to take 3 to 6 months for my boob to heal. Your boobs look great and it's always normal to always to wish for bigger ones and next time you can! It's better to not go too big the forst time because it can cause problems when healing and/or stretch marks! You should send the pic of you laying down to him if u don't see him for awhile. That would bother me too so I don't blame you! It's not bad looking at all but totally understand why u are concern for it. Best wishes and happy healing! Remember it takes a good 6 months

My next appointment with him is in a month. I emailed Katrina asking her to check with him, but she just basically told me to wait until my next appointment and ask him then. :/

i am in the same boat as you. i expected more ccs than what my ps could fit in and i feel small still and disappointed with the size. i also wanted to wear less padding and pushups and go more bra less. i was a 30a and am measuring a 30c but am waiting to buy bras cuz my right isnt dropping much. had it done end of feb. and havent noticed any fluffing either. hoping i will grow to love my new size.
June 1, 2015
I'm your exact size. Been hoping for more fluffing but the last time I had a follow up, my doctor said this will probably be it. Not much change from how I look now. I'm hoping for the same later...that I will start to love them more. But I will have to wait and see. Hope you will end up liking yours better too!

Your a 30-32c? You look larger on your pictures! How does your fiance like them? My husband preferred them smaller because he doesn't think mine feel natural yet, but I think over time they will feel more natural. My right one isn't dropping so that one still looks small because of no lower poll fullness so I'm hoping when it matches the left I will feel bigger. When I shop, xs clothing still isn't fitting which is upsetting as I wanted to fit into more "adult" styles. I also hope you end up being happy with your outcome! I will continue to follow your progress and your feelings post BA.

I know it's normal to want to go bigger, but I think you look great. They look quite large but still proportional to your frame. I'm scheduled for 6/19 and would be happy with your results. Don't over critique yourself...you look awesome. Be proud of your girls....they really do look amazing.

Ripple ripple

Rosyposy02
I had my follow up two days ago. I felt some bumps on my left and confirmed with the doctor that it is rippling due to the little tissue I have on that side. Bummer. A bit disappointed with the rippling even with my silicone under the muscle, but doesn't look like I can do much now except wait it out and hopefully it doesn't get worse.

I also have another dilemma with bra sizing. I have to attend my friend's wedding soon and will need a bra since I'm in the bridal party. I've gone to VS a few times to look at bras but they don't fit quite right. I waited until now for my breasts to soften up and feel almost normal again to retry on bras. Some people mentioned nordstrom rack having a lot of great sizes so I went there. When I try on 32c bra, my left breast fits just fine because it's smaller (thinner and perkier) but the right one is a bit too wide and round for it, and nipple is almost popping out. When I try on a 32d bra, then it's too big in general. Now, I'm not sure which size to get but I need a bra in the next two weeks! Should I go with the larger bra for now?? I'm hoping the size difference in my breasts won't show up in the dress, since it's more noticeable in a bra or right clothes.

Ok couple things. Go to Norstroms not the rack. their bra specialist are amazing and get you the right bra plus if you don't like the bra in a month you can return it! Norstroms have a great return policy. Bras are expensive $60 but so worth it in my opinion. Better than the Victoria secrets bra people. second the rippling. I got good news! I have bad rippling before and I still had some rippling especially the first 6 to 8 weeks. Dr smith told me it will get better and if not, fat grafting is an option layer down the road but he thought I wouldnt need it. Well sure enough my rippling is gone pretty much. And i have no breast tissue either. But I knew rippling is so so common with us girls who have lil breast tissue. I do feel some bumps and rippling with my fingers but nothing visible much.

Try 34c sometimes that helps
May 21, 2015
Have you tried Barely There Bras? they are great!!!! and so comfortable ! a friend of mine who also had surgery recommend them to me and I am so happy using them. Give them a try!! You can get them at Kohl's.
May 21, 2015
Thanks @momobar. I will look in a month or so. My size has not been the same so must wait until it stops changing.

4 weeks

Rosyposy02
At four weeks, the left side is still sitting higher and looking narrower than the right. Size difference is still noticeable in snug clothing. :/ But they are getting softer. The pain is mostly gone, just aching sometimes. Nipples are very sensitive though.

I also think I have mondor's cord. I have a big ol' vein sticking out below the left boob right in the middle. It seems to have gotten bigger. I'm having a hard time lifting my left arm too high or propping myself up from laying down position because I feel some pain from this. The part right above my rib cage also felt like it was bruised a week ago (but no dark bruising spot visible to the naked eye). That bruising pain now gone. But I have to remember to ask my doctor about this vein that keeps getting bigger.

Me too!! And I thought it was weird i have 2 mondor cords as well and when I raise my hand for to long I feel like a muscle spasm
April 11, 2015
How long have yours been there? Mine appeared about two weeks postop and wasn't noticeable at first. Just felt the bruising pain and thought it was from the incisions. Now it's noticeable. I hope it goes away soon so I can resume every day activity without worrying about the pain when lifting my arm.

I did same thing thought it was my inscision came out 12 days post op. It's painful when lifting things for to long. It will go away dont worry. I'm at 31 days still soee but getting better.
April 11, 2015
You look amazing and very natural. You will be soooo glad that you did not go huge.
April 11, 2015
Thanks JackiTerry. I probably wouldn't have gone past 300cc, although I have had what-if thoughts about going with the HP instead of mod+

You're results look amazing so far! You will love your final result!
April 13, 2015
Thank you petiteasiangirl! Can't wait until the final result. I'm just feeling so impatient about this whole drop and fluff process.
April 14, 2015
It can take up to 6 months, so be patient. Mine took 9 months and it's finally looking nice and full.
