My 5 week boobaversary!
Here we are at 5 weeks postop, hallelujah! I'm officially cleared to do my workouts and man am I glad! My size hasn't changed but the abs certainly are getting soft;)
I'm feeling more and more like myself again finally. There are times I forget I had a BA and feel like my flat chested self....until I look in the mirror, lol. I really don't have much pain at all and am actually getting to where I don't have to rush home after work to take my bra off! There have been days that I seriously thought I was going to have a panic attack if I didn't get my bra off and FAST! Not so much this week:)
The incision tape came off a couple if days ago almost on its own. It started dangling and I'd stick it back up for fear if passing out if I tugged on it. It was wet the other night and just wouldn't restick so I bit the bullet and off it came.
I've been using Mederma gel twice per day per my PS' advice. That stuff isn't cheap?! I also believe there may be a suture that was left behind in the left incision. It's not loose enough for me to get a hold of it to snip it so I may have my friend see if she can get a good grip on it. She's a surgical assistant and the only person I wouldn't punch in the face if she hurts me, haha! Not sure if they're resorbable or not but I should check first huh?
Pics- I posted updated pics and then a couple in my work outfit for today. They are super easy to conceal in some clothing. I have on my Yumi by Heather Kim bra on today. It minimizes the boobaliciousness a tad for these clingier outfits.
Hope you all are healing well and to those who are not in boobyville yet, I wish you happy thoughts and a quick recovery. Xoxoxo

Lol! deodorant.. HAHA You're so funny:) I havent updated my review with pics because my strips have that gross bandaid grey crap around my nipple (GROSS) :/ lol I have my doctor appointment on Monday and hope he takes those darn things off and I can get rid of this darn surgical bra.. Love your pictures and you really do you look good!! love the cleavage:)

Thank you! I was so unsure of what my cleavage would be just because I had never had enough of anything to know how wide set my boobs were. Filling up the BWD sure helped it out I think! and Haha yeah I should have waited to put the deodorant on. Oh well, at least ya'll know I don't smell bad, hee hee. As for the strips, ugh! I want mine off sooooo bad. They are finally starting to itch at the end of every day. I want them off but I'm the one who gets to remove them this time and I may pass out doing that myself! You'll have to let me know what you use to get it off. I totally want to have a bra burning party and my surgical bra will be on top of that burn pile. Torture devices...

Very nice! We are around the same age, same body frame and same number of kids. My PS also recommended HP under muscle. He originally said 325-350. You went with 400 in the end I see. I'm sure you are happy with that! I'm debating going larger myself but don't want it to be "too obvious" Has anyone flat asked you if you had BA surgery? You had a really nice outcome!

Thanks Harly97! Oh man, I went back and forth between which size to get for what seems like forever! This site rocks and helped me (after a ton of research) to decide to go with the 400s. Someone finally told me to get my BWD and to fill it to get the most proportionate size for my frame and I am sooooo glad that I did that! My PS ranged me from 300cc - 400cc and the 400 got closest to filling up my width. My BWD was 13cm and the 400cc HPs are 12.2cm. As for if people have asked me if I've had a BA, not yet;) I've told most of my friends and coworkers just to squelch any gossip, lol. However, I have NOT told my dad yet. I've been around him one time and he didn't even notice. We are having my daughter's 5th birthday party tomorrow and he will be there again so we shall see if he catches on! I used to wear the VS "add 2 cups" bra and I honestly think that what I have now with my implants really doesn't look all that much bigger than those. It kindof depends on what bra I wear as to whether they are noticeable or not. Real bras make them look bigger in clothes, whereas with my coobie-style bra they are totally hidden. I need to take a pic in my work outfits where they are incognito for you. I really didn't want to have booby greed and with these 400's, knowing that was as large as I could go anyway, I have totally avoided any greed whatsoever:) One more thing, I checked out your pics and you are right in the fact that we are similar preop. I think that the amount of preop breast tissue makes all the difference in the world in regards to how big or small your final outcome will be. I think with your additional height that 400's would look super normal on you :D Good luck with all of this and let me know if you have any more questions!!!
