Hey all!

Just wanted to update some photos since I had a moment. Everything has mostly dropped and softened up, but they still continue to get better. Also, my pecs seem to have mostly healed and I'm able to do all my old activities without that strange dismembered feeling. So glad that went away! It felt horrible and was probably the absolute worst thing about the procedure for me. Take care!

Hi! It's been 3 weeks since my surgery and everything feels noticeably softer and more relaxed. I can sleep flat almost the entire night and haven't needed any type of pain relief in about a week. Working out has gotten much easier and makes me feel great! Most of my bruising is gone, but I have a little on the sides.
My surgical tape still hasn't come off all the way! I think it's because I have tiny little hairs all over and I'm sure the tape has really grabbed on to that. I trimmed it back until it was basically just covering my incisions, but a few days ago I decided to put a fresh layer of tape on top of the original to keep water from seeping in. I have no idea what my incisions look like. My 4-week checkup is Tuesday, so I think he might pull the tape off to see what it's looking like. Ouch.
As for working out, I have been treating this like an injury and just listening to my body. I've been getting a lot of rest and won't push past what feels comfortable and normal, but I've been able to do some barbell squats, cable rows, and isolated bicep curls. That's about it aside from normal leg workouts, and all with very light weights, but it feels amazing to move my body. I even jogged yesterday for a few minutes!! At a whopping 4.5 mph!! ;) Again, I took it upon myself to see what I could do, and I understood that I needed to be super careful. For me, however, it feels like all this exercise has sped up my healing (who knows if it actually did) and made me feel more normal again. And my boobs look great.

Hi everyone! I thought I'd update since two weeks is kind of a milestone after surgery. I am feeling great--I haven't needed any pain relievers lately and I'm only using my muscle relaxers at night for comfort. I'm still sleeping elevated because I get wicked morning boob otherwise, but everything else is completely tolerable. Arm and shoulder mobility is good, and my incisions itch a little so I know they are healing. Actually, I still have my original tape in place and have had to stifle the urge to remove it to see the incisions. No signs of any type of infection, so I'm a happy girl.
I am starting to notice things softening up a bit, not just to the touch but visually as well. They are starting to slowly drop and are even fluffing out a little on the outside. I could feel the sides touching my arms occasionally before I could see it. My cleavage is also starting to soften, too. I honestly wasnt expecting it so soon, so I am super happy! Everything overall still looks pretty tight, but it's improving and I'm so pleased.
My bruising is still super intense underneath my breasts, but I have always been a heavy bruiser so I'm not alarmed at all. I will try to take some photos so you can see what I think is probably normal. From what I've read, my bruising showed up a little late and I expect it will probably take another week or two to disappear. The swelling in my abdomen has subsided, which is a huge relief. It felt so weird!
I am going shopping for new work tops this weekend, because I realized that most of my old ones either don't fit now or are way kind of inappropriate for a busty girl to wear. I could get away with more when I had no chest, but now I've got some serious cleavage to deal with! It's funny, I catch my boyfriend staring and he starts giggling like a kid. It's been a lot of fun for both of us so far. :D
