100 days Happy
WORTH IT$7,100
Today is my 100 day boobie anniversary :)
I'm extremely happy with my results. They're not perfect, but I didn't expect them to be. They feel all me, and I totally forget I have them most of the time. The only time I really notice or feel them is when I do particular chest exercises. Speaking of exercise, I couldn't recommend Moving Comfort's JUNO sports bra more. I've tried other supposed high impact sports bras but I always had some uncomfortable bounce, which I don't experience at all with the JUNO.
I love how I look in clothes (and naked ;) ). I don't really love the way I look in bikini tops or tight tops- I think it makes my boobs look too obvious/fake. Overall though, I think my surgeon and I picked a great size for my body. One of the best decisions I've made for myself!

6 weeks!
I'm at the pivotal six weeks today! Still not super happy with my left breast and crease placement (left incision is riding a little high), but it's not bad so I'm fine. And I'm still hopeful that once the incision heals completely the scar will be barely noticeable.
I've gone on two short runs within the past week. I wore my "Juno" sports bra (32D) from moving comfort. It's the bomb! It keeps the girls super supported and locked in place without smushing them down like a compression bra (which my surgeon said is a no-go). I was aware of my implants for the first couple steps, but then I didn't notice them at all. I also did a "buff yoga" class on Monday. It was great! I was able to do basically everything except for Chaturanga push ups and other difficult chest exercises (which I've never really been able to do anyway...) But overall I felt like I kept up with the class. For yoga I wore an adjustable Champion Max Support sports bra in small. The straps aren't as supportive as the Juno, so despite it being a "max support" bra, I'll probably use it for lower/medium impact workouts like yoga.
Sleeping- I don't think I mentioned anything lately. I am a tummy sleeper again! Honestly, the hardest part of surgery for me was probably lack of a good night's sleep from being forced to sleep on my back. After about two or so weeks I was able to sleep on my side for a bit, which helped, but it still wasn't great. I'd say about 4 weeks in I've been able to sleep in any position I want! I'm glad my boobs are still small enough to be a comfortable tummy sleeper again :)
I was supposed to see my surgeon yesterday for our 6 week appointment, but I was out of town so it's scheduled for next week. If I can remember, I want to ask him for silicone sheeting for my scars now that the glue is finally off. I mentioned them before when I still had my glue incisions, and while he's not a big supporter of them as he doesn't believe they are evidenced based, he said he'd support my decision to use them. I've just heard a lot on this site how they've been very helpful for some women, and my incisions are my only concerns at this point.
That's about it for me for now.
I love my new boobies :)

Your boobs look wonderful!! Personally, I am going to request that my surgeon puts the incision a little bit higher up just like your lefty because I have seen a few girls here on real self that have had their incisions on the rib cage instead of the crease and that is my worst nightmare! I would definitely be happy with the placement of my incisions if they end up like yours :)

Thank you so much! I'm glad to hear that your preferred incision location is slightly above the crease line. Just the other day my mom showed me her incisions from her surgery 15 years ago, and I had to look hard just to find them- AND she's a smoker which is supposed to disrupt the healing process. My incisions are still pretty pink but the last time I saw my surgeon he said they will likely be pink until the 6th month mark since they're still an active healing site. So I'm trying to not let it bother me. Thanks for the encouragement :) Good luck with your surgery!!

Absolutely!! They look wonderful and they will be blending in within a few years. Happy healing :)

You look very nice and natural and proportionate! I have a 286 silicone moderate plus and went from 32a to 32d. I love that size!

Crease Incision...not perfect
I'm 5.5 weeks (38 days) post op. The glue on my incisions were still there and horrid looking, and I read on this site that gently rubbing petroleum jelly would get the loose/dry glue off. It worked! Now I can get a better look at my incisions.
I couldn't be happier with the size and perfect straight little lines of the incisions themselves. The right incision is completely concealed in my crease. That being said, I'm having a mini freak out because my left incision rides higher on my left breast. I noticed it within a week or so after the surgery, but the glue was thicker and I tried to not think about it and wait until there was more settling. Now that the glue is gone, the incision scar does look a little bit closer to my actual crease line, but it's not there. It's by no means drastic and I'm not expecting perfection, but it bugs me. Additionally, my left breast sits lower than my right, which is a little concerning to me because my left shoulder naturally sits higher than my right, so if anything I'd expect that breast to be higher up, not lower. So in my mind I'm concerned that my left breast is lower than my surgeon had intended.
Overall, I'm still very happy with my breasts. And the only people who will ever see the scar are people who I choose to show. But right now I'm a little sad about the left crease incision. Does anybody out there have any experience with this? I'm hoping that by the time I'm done healing the scar will be barely visible. Any thoughts? I'm needing a little encouragement right now :/
