WORTH IT$5,400
Finally find a decent bra.. I know once the implants are dropped it will no longer fit because I fill the cups out completly, BUT I needed something more supportive. Im a 34DD, but may be larger once the implants drop fully.
My left side has dropped a bit more slightly, but its still uneven to my right. After seeing pictures in the swimsuit, I noticed my right side still has to drop some too.. Grr all boob at the bottom still.
Ive been massaging both the implants and my scar tissue with Vitamin E, and using silicone scar strips. Slowly disappearing.
That vein/muscle thing i had on my left scar area showed up on my right breast but is now gone from massaging. The left side only shows if I reach and stretch over my head, but doc said itll go away with massage.
Heres a few updated pictures..

:) If you want to see weekly progress Im doing videos on Youtube
So far, I just had my 3 week post op Appt. I am clear to workout at my own limitations.
I am clear to wear any bras I want.
I bought a 34DD online for $5 bucks, because I measured myself.. Knowing I was still fuller uptop.. I fill out the bottom perfectly, but my boobs are pouring out.. so now I think Im either a triple D or E?!
Someone please fill me in. :)
Ive noticed numbess on the bottom side of my breast, doc says its normal with all the nerves and the larger implant.
Left implant is still quite high.. Learned to massage today and taking FULL advantage of it.
Other than that, excited to be wearing real bras! and back to working out

Sorry for what the Army did to u . My son spent 9 months in Iraq when the war started . You look great !! I'm getting a revision and I'm thinking 600 HP gel I have 420 saline and I'm a 34/DDD and that's also a E . I love the size ! I'm happy for you !

Thank you! I went and got sized today.. First at Macys... I dont think she knew was she was doing.. She told me 38D.. which the band I was drowning in.. We tried a 36DD and It covered but the band again was to loose. She wasnt helpful at all. I went to Victorias Secret, although Ive heard they size wrong.. She sized me at a 34DD and the bras fit, but I didnt buy one because I filled the bottom of the bras out and still have dropping to do, So I am lost on my size and not sure what to buy. Just want a comfy non sports bra lol

I know I can't stand sport bras ! I have to order my bras if I want pretty and cute ones . I have found some at Dillard's . My Dr told me that VS run small . They don't carry triple D in the store . You look like your at least A trible D . And then you might get bigger after you drop and fluff . Happy healing !

U look wonderful I received mine on Tuesday, absolutely no pain at all just tenderness!! Still super high tho!!! I was able to have my first shower today and the feeling was so good and I took off my tape and dressings!!! I am supposed to be using the bra that they supplied me but I make my boobs feel like they were in my armpit and I put on a different one that I bought from vS and it makes them come together rather than out to the side!!! The only time I take my narcs is when I know I've done lots that day!!! I have been sleeping through the night since I received them? And to b honest I have been sleeping on my back with no trouble at all!!! Today I ha a nap an rolled onto my side and slept like that for two hours but woke up to some tenderness but manageable!!! Glad things are going good for u!!! I've been thinking a lot of u and wondering how u are doing!!! Keep is all posted oxoxox

I think comfort is most important. exp if the bra doesnt support your breast then heck yes! As long as there isnt any wire. :) Congrats on your new boobies!!

Removed my steri strips today :) No more pain as a few days ago, just a fullness/pressure type of feeling.
Sometimes swollen if I exert to much.
Stopped wearing the post op bra, and wear a skinfully bra SO comfortable.
I do weekly youtube videos so you can follow me there if youd like (http://youtu.be/IJsjsft6x80 )
My next appt isnt until end of May when I learn to start massaging.

Thank you so much for sharing your story! I watched your videos on YouTube. I'm also getting 550cc memory gel hp implants. Just curious are yours under the muscle? Not sure if I missed that somewhere. Anyway, thanks again! You ROCK!
June 1, 2013
Thank you! Yes, June 10th. It's coming up! So excited! But I keep going back and forth on whether to get 550 or 600. I'm a 36C now because I have 350cc saline implants over the muscle. Before that I was an A cup.

Congratulations! You look fantastic! I love your videos with your explanations and helpful tips. The Skinfully Soft Bra is a great tip...so many women are looking for a larger post op bra that won't rub on the incisions. I wasn't able to find this online...can you give us a little more detail on this wonderful bra? Thank your for posting some videos on RealSelf!! P.S. Way to go on the weight loss!
Oh this is great...thank you for the link to the bra! I can see how this would be perfect in so many ways!
