Lets talk about the not so good stuff

Hello lovely ladies. So whilst I'm really happy with my results, there are some things that I'm not completely overjoyed about. The big one was confirmed for me over the weekend. I went bra shopping. I need at least one decent bra so I can wear it to work. I got professionally fitted for the first time since my op. Long story short it appears I'm a 10E! This size is a bit of a surprise to me as I feel so tiny in comparison to before. The actual number isn't the issue, it's the restrictions that will come along with that. I want the choice to buy swimwear and bras from any store. I know that there are many bra ranges that stop at DD so I feel like I've taken a step back mentally with my joy. D was always the biggest I wanted to be so to not even fit a DD is a shame. I know that I look teeny in my clothes and the shape is great even without a bra, but a E? It's just so limiting. I know everyone says things can get smaller in the first 6 months however I just can't see them going down. There is no swelling left.
Anyway, I know I'm grateful but I have to be honest about that disappointment. After a LIFETIME of only shopping in Freya I really just wanted to be able to grab anything...
While I'm having a 'pointing out the not so great stuff day' - I also have a little tiny bit of a 'dog ear'. Just a small one on the left side. I know that's something that may correct itself but I'm conscious of it. I will post a pic of this soon. I'm also still bothered that my nipples are not 100% centred in the areola. Because I've been wearing tape for so long I've not been confronted with it. However it's the first thing I see when the tape is off. I understand these are things that would be a small correction in the future if I still felt that way. Time will tell if I do.
So I'm still wrapped that I have done this, I wouldn't change that for anything. Best thing ever for appearance, my posture and my state of mind. I'm bummed they are strangely over a D in terms of bra sizes. I don't think it's realistic to believe they will get smaller. For anyone out there reading this and thinking about doing it, like most people here repeat - GO SMALL! You won't regret the procedure if you find the right surgeon for you. Having large boobs that are heavy and hurt is a burden that NO ONE truly can understand unless you are wearing them. Have a great day everyone x

6 weeks post op. All going well!

Had my 6 week check up today. All going well. I had an afternoon without tape on so I took a few snaps. My nipples feel very red from the tape so I was happy to be free of it for a few hours. I feel back to normal really. I purchased a couple of bras in the sales ( not that I need one!) and they were a 12d and a medium. I've decided to wait s few months but it was just too exciting! I've realised I don't even know which brands to look at because I've only ever just gone straight to Freya and got a big wall of fabric! It's quite cool looking at all the styles but I'm not jumping in just yet!
I think they are a great size. I still pass the pencil test however I still have a little d cup which seems right for me. Ives seen some people who know me and they haven't noticed. I know I used to hide them well but I the it's hilarious that I've changed so much and it feels like a little secret.
I've got a couple of teeny sore spots and if I look hard in photos I think one of nipples look like it's not centred in the areola. However I'm just going to wait until everything calms down before I get too bothered about that.

Week 3

Just a little over 3 weeks now. Saw my surgeon today and had fresh tape put on. Sleeping on both sides now. Getting a little itchy now and then. It's maddening! I hope that goes away. Still a little swollen but quite happy so far. Incisions are quite raised without the tape but I'm told that's normal for now. I will keep the tape on for at least a week at a time as I'm told it's better not to change it often. I'm happy with that. Doing what I'm told! Hope everyone is healing nicely. It's very exciting watching these babies heal!

I found Kim via online search for Melbourne surgeons. It was my personal choice that I knew I was going to feel more comfortable seeing a female. I felt very confident in her abilities from the first meeting. I met with another female surgeon just to be sure and for me they were worlds apart in terms of their approach. Kim really listened to me and answered all of my questions even when I was repeating myself over and over! I was very scared of the procedure and even on surgery day I cried and Kim was super supportive and professional. All the staff at ARC have been phenomenal with all the dealings I have had there. Very discreet and approachable. However by far the best thing has been the result. At the time of writing this I am 2 weeks post op and I'm healing so well. I actually didn't think I could get such a great result. They look round, perky and very natural. Almost like I've stepped back in time to having the breasts I would have had at 15! From someone who has always had large (too large) breasts it's such a relief to feel the way I am. I'm ridiculously happy with my choice of surgeon for what was a terrifying decision to make. Like most people here I just wish I had done it sooner.
