new pictures - 24 days post op - half way to being able to work out again!!

So I had my follow up appointment yesterday and everything is going well. I am healing well and they are dropping and looking great and getting a little softer. Dr. Cambeiro gave me some new massage tips to do a few times a day. I have to squeeze them quite a bit and just massage them all over. still kind of hurts to squeeze them like that but if its going to help them fully recover faster I am okay with it. I am loving my new look and its funny because they are really close to the size I was when I was nursing my children so they look very natural and nice. I am super happy with my results and I do not regret my decision to get them at all:)

So everything is going great. I am getting used to my new look. Still interesting to shop for shirts or try on old shirts in my closet. They all fit so differently now. I went out to a bar for the first time since my surgery and I dont care what any man tells you; men love boobies! lol Some may say oh I dont like big boobs and whattever but yeah I had so many guys drooling over my boobs it was funny. Not the point of getting my boobs done but a funny side effect:) lol The bubbles I was feeling are all gone now. They still feel a little firm and I am not sure when they will be getting softer but I go in for an appointment in a week so I will get some more details on that and have more info on how well I am healing and stuff. So far my incisions look pretty good. One looks like its healing better than the other but they are both improving so I am not worried. My left breast is still a little higher than my right but they are both shifting lower and into place. My husband keeps telling me that they are getting bigger so I guess they are dropping and "fluffing". lol I am able to move my arms pretty much however I want with no pain now. The only time I notice any discomfort is when I stretch and its pulling at the incision area. The incision area is the only part that hurts at all and its more of a discomfort rather than pain. I am putting neosporin on the incision to help it heal and washing it with antibacterial soap while in the shower just to keep it clean. I went to the gym to train a friend and can tell that I am super weak and have discomfort when I try to use my chest muscles. No, I didnt actually do anything. Just put no weight on the machine and showed the motion. I totally babied myself too and she knew what was going on so she was understanding. Anyway, I love them and they look great on me I think. I have broad shoulders so they fill me out nicely without being too large for me since I am a sporty girl and didnt want them to be large enough to be in my way. I have really been wanting to work out but I am holding back because I want to fully recover without any issues so it doesnt take longer. Oh and I have been dropping weight too. I am down 3 lbs:( This is not good because it means I am losing muscle. Hopefully that doesnt continue too much more before I am released to start training again. If you have any questions just ask. Not a while lot of new stuff going on here:)

Oh and I forgot to mention that all the lotions and creams that I have been using to help with bruising and to moisturize to prevent stretch marks and all that have made my skin go all out of wack. So I broke out with little pimples all over my chest. So to all of you out there who have sensitive skin, this may happen to you too:(
