I haven't updated in a while! Life has been crazy, but in good ways! Being busy has made the time pass quicker.
My breasts aren't sore anymore, just a little tight sometimes. I'm supposed to do exercises 4 times a day but most of the time I think I only do 3 because I don't have a lot of free time or even privacy at work...
The tape has been falling off slowly, as you can see in the pics. The newest pics are the ones wth the least tape. Some of the tape has blood on it and I worried it would look gross underneath, but every time tape falls off I am shocked to see that there's no scab or wound. Hope that it continues to be that way. One of the breasts seems a little bit fuller on the top than the other but I don't really care. No two boobs are symetrical, even my eyebrows are a little different from eachother when you really look! And I have nice brows, and nice boobs now ;-)
I am very happy with them! I have another post op appt on Friday, so I'll ask about scar care. I wish there wasn't tape on my boobs anymore but I'll be patient!

Not crying over the size anymore:) at least not right now;) The knockout bra and the exercises I think make them look better already so now I see what everyone is saying, that they are gonna change. Surprise surprise, my doctor and the entire internet are right.
Also, I tried on tons of clothes that I thought wouldn't fit anymore. Most of them fit great, and I could get away without a bra if I want:) tho I'm sort of shy so I probably won't ...

That's one of the best parts: trying on clothes that used to only look good with a padded bra and now look good with nothing but your own body! Your breasts look great. I, for one feel lucky that I got to see your transformation thus far. I agree with Mia's Epiphany on her lovely synopsis of reasons not to worry. A "D" may sound huge, but women like us with wide-spread nipples look really great with more breast tissue to fill out the middle section. All your "after" pictures look fabulous to me. It might take some time to get used to being such a hottie ;-).

So glad you're feeling better today :-)
I agree with dancingbeet - more breast volume with larger nipples looks so much better! Although I didn't have tuberous breasts, I had what I considered very large areolas for such small breasts and having bigger breasts has totally balanced that out, so I'm not self conscious about that anymore!
There are highs & lows that come along with this surgery - it can be an emotional rollercoaster, so you just have to know that it's all normal and you'll get through it! Also, you have the perfect forum to vent all of your concerns right here and get a ton of support from all the lovely ladies that have either already gone through it themselves, or will be going through it soon!
Stay happy & we're all here for you!! :-)

Omg wow! Looking better and better every day! I'm loving all the positivity on here, these other ladies are so right! I think ups and downs are totally a normal part of this process. You look so fabulous! Side note I've booked a date and put down my deposit for July 13. I know it will be here before I know it! Ahhhh. Excited yet nervous. Will post a review soon.

Hi Ann! I am reaaaalllllyyyy good. Been meaning to update but it's hard to find time right now. Thanks for checking in!
Results are more beautiful than I could have imagined. I am very pleased. Will update soon.

It looks that the swelling has gone down a lot!! Are you much happier with the size now? I'm happy to say that now at 9 months out I've actually gone down a size. I lost a bit of weight, too so my size is now 32D instead of 32DD. I know you felt they might be too big at one point but wondering how you feel now? They look amazing.

32D
I had my drains out yesterday. Everyone has been reassuring me that my breasts look pretty. The nice folks at Kolker's office, my friends .. But I just can't believe how big they are. I measured at a 32D and it made me cry, because I was an A before and now I am a D. I will get used to them, but I just never saw myself as a person who could or should have big boobs. I just imagine that this is what he needed to do to fix the deformity, although I see others results with smaller breasts. I said at my consultation and pre op that I wouldn't care if I was still an A, would be happiest at a B, and would be uncomfortable with a C. Having small breasts were part of my style, my style of person. I feel like they make me look fat yet I'm at a low weight, a barely maintainable low weight. How did this happen? Now I will just have to accept them?

I'm so sorry you are unhappy with the size! Do you think it might just be some swelling and that they will get a bit smaller eventually? I wouldn't despair quite yet, it's still very early on!
April 27, 2016
Please give yourself some time - you're only 8 days post-op and still swollen! I still had swelling for weeks after my surgery. Also, I don't think you look big at all - it's most likely because you're just not used to them yet that you feel like they're huge. Once all of the swelling goes down, they'll shrink a little bit.
It takes some time to get used to actually having breasts after not really having any for so long. Mine felt huge too for the first month or so and now I'm so used to them, they feel small!! I swear I look at them and think that I definitely could have gone bigger!
Dr. Kolker is conservative, so he would never put an implant that he felt was too big - trust me, I went back & forth with him about this for months before my surgery. In the end, he picks what he thinks looks prettiest for your frame.
Also, not sure where you got sized, but you should be waiting until around the 3 month mark to be officially sized, because they WILL change from now until then. And do NOT get sized at VS - go to Nordstrom, Lord & Taylor, or a real bra store. VS has NO CLUE what they're doing - seriously, it's a fact and you can even find blogs about it.
Please don't worry, stress, or be sad - I promise you're going to see changes in the coming months and you're also going to adjust to actually having boobs and they won't feel so big...I think you look fantastic already! :-) xo
April 27, 2016
Also, forgot to ask you - what size implant did he end up using for you?
April 28, 2016
190 cc, low projection they said, thank you for your comments you are a wise lady! Everything you are saying is spot on, you are right and inside I know that. I'm starting to see too how they really don't look that big! D is just a letter! The knock out bra is already making a difference in their shape too I think. Thanks for helping me feel better.
April 27, 2016
I so agree with Mia as well! You look fantastic and they don't look big to me at all either! I'm sure I will feel the same that is a big adjustment to having them when we haven't for so long. Xx
April 28, 2016
Thanks, I see already just a day later that I was being ridiculous. I should be grateful that things are getting better.. That they will look better.
June 9, 2016
hi! i'd like to be just a B too--i'm curious how many ccs you got?
July 15, 2016
thanks so much flower. they look great! i'm wondering, now that you've had time to heal, whats your cup size approximately? surely you're not still a d?
July 19, 2016
Believe it or not, I am a d! But I found out that a 32D is not that big, it's the same as a 34C.. And also that the letter doesn't mean anything at all. My breasts really aren't that big, they don't feel that big, and all my old clothes fit. Crazy that I went from an A to a D and people really didn't even notice haha
July 19, 2016
Yeah, size is so strange, external sizers even as low as 150 felt enormous on me! Yet so many very modest looking after-pictures claim upwards of 350s. Makes my head spin.
But yes thank you thank you so much, this input makes me trust my initial instinct of hitting something between 175 and 225, just to correct the tuberous shape, not to change my whole groove.
Actually I wouldn't mind big boobs but implants simply don't move like real breast tissue, dead give away. This is probably my main concern to stay small. Forgive me for harassing you with so many questions (i don't know why smaller implants are so uncommon!), but can you tell me, how do they *feel*? Do they jiggle (yet?) Do you feel like they're getting softer? When you grab them, can you feel a marked difference between natural breast tissue and the implant? Do you feel like other people (i.e. romantic partners), hypothetically or IRL, who otherwise didn't know you had implants would feel the difference?
Also, no pressure, but if you have time i'd love to see a more recent photo to see how you're healing.
My surgery's in just a few weeks, and after that I'm only giving myself two weeks off before i'll be full-tilt crazy busy with work and school for the next several months. I'm starting to worry that the healing process will more on my plate than i realize. And, I don't have a steady boyfriend, so i'm hoping to feel comfortable showing off my breasts to new partners sooner rather than later! Hope I'm not looking forward to too many months of celibacy!!

I measured as a 34 D at VS and a 32DD in Maidenform. I think this is due to the swelling because I don't feel that I look that big at all. The size really suits you. You look fantastic!
