320 Allergan Extra High Profiles- 2 weeks post-op

Today it has been 1 year since my BA and it was honestly the best decision of my life. My breasts are PERFECT, my surgeon, Dr. Diaz did a phenomenal job at giving me symmetry considering the original shape and position of my breasts! I now wear a 32D/DD at VS, but I live in lacy bralette's now that I don't have to wear 2 inches of padding. Having nice sized breasts without having tight wires and hot pillows is extremely liberating!! Being more comfortable physically, without all that "hardware" under my shirt, pinching, rubbing, slipping, gaping, sweating, etc is definitely a very happy unintended consequence.

My husband loves my breasts, and is still very fascinated by them. My friends and my mom think they are absolutely the perfect size for my body. They are definitely not too large or too small. If I would have been able to go bigger, I would have, although I wouldn't have needed to. I am NO LESS happy with my 320's. Not a soul would look at me and think, "Wow, those are fake" and I like that because I feel like I have breasts that match my body size and type now.

I do feel compelled to mention that I still have some numbness in each breast from the outside to the inside beside my nipples. At the beginning, I had a LOT of numbness, but gradually I got more feeling back, except those same areas in both breasts. I did not have a lot of the shooting pains that others describe as nerves reconnecting, but then I have a high tolerance for pain. Also, my nipples are extremely sensitive since my surgery, and this is constant, not intermittent. Even the shower stream bothers them, and rough stimulation literally makes me want to cry out! For those of you who have been pregnant, it is similar to first trimester sensitivity. I knew this was a risk, I was willing to take it, and for me it was worth it and I would absolutely do it 100 times again. For others, maybe not.

The only other thing that can sometimes be bothersome is the displacement of my implants when I use my pectoral muscles, since I have unders. You literally have no idea how much you use these muscles until you get implants! Opening bottles, running the sweeper, pushing a grocery cart, carrying ANYTHING, etc! All of these activities displace my implants! This is not really a problem for me since I do not work out in a gym, but if you are someone who works out all the time this is something you should be prepared for. It is noticeable to you and it will be to others too, if you lift weights in public.

Even with the above mentioned, I am 100% thrilled with my results and would do it again in a second. I have to thank all the ladies on here who helped me when I was researching my options and hope I paid it forward a little with this update. For those of you who are scared by UHP, don't be! If your doctor suggests them because of the size of your body and the results you desire, then they will look perfect on you and you will love them!

Today I am 2 weeks post op and my result is looking better every day. I love them! I am having a terrible time taking it easy and I'm back to cleaning my house, and lifting my 25 lb toddler. It doesn't always feel great but Im totally on my own and there's not much I can do about it.
The sensations I am having in my breasts is starting to change a little. I do not have any nipple sensation and a larger area underneath and to the sides of them is also numb. Even though I have numbness when I touch them, I feel a sensation that I can only describe as "prickly". Kind of like when your foot falls asleep and the feeling starts to come back and it hurts like pins and needles, just a little less pronounced and only when Im touching them. I am also having some "electric shock" like sensations on the inside of my left breast especially and a general discomfort from moving them during my displacement massages. My incisions are still sore and "burn" sometimes when I move in certain ways, and the area around my sternum hurts sometimes (probably because I am overdoing it).

My left one looks perfect and I hope it doesn't get any smaller as they continue to settle, my right one is still higher and tighter than the left, but I expected that because I am right handed and that one was about a cup size smaller than the other to begin with.
Oh, this is weird: when I take a first drink of something cold or get a cold chill, it touches the nerve endings in my breasts like sugar to a tooth ache! It's very unnerving! Anyone else experience this?

I bought myself a body pillow to try and sleep on my side a little. It's still not that comfortable but I did sleep on both sides last night instead of my back, so I guess that's progress.

Here's another thing that is interesting to note: I am having a super hard time shaving my underarms now. They went from being super flat and easy to shave to being really narrow and much deeper and hard to get a razor into. I mentioned this to my larger breasted girlfriend and she showed my how to hold the side of my underarm with one hand and shave with the other (I guess this is not just me). I did not realize there would be any difference in my underarms after breast surgery!!

I went to VS on Sunday to just try on some bras. I did not get sized but I am about a 32D (or really a 30DD by my measurements), which I checked at:

I thought at first I was going to be a 32C, but when I took a bunch of 32Cs into the fitting room they didn't seem to fit well at all, and made my boobs look weird. I didn't buy anything (that was definitely a first, lol!) I will go again in another 2 weeks or so. The webside above has a weird address but I swear it is the most accurate I have found. Too bad VS doesn't carry a wider range of sizes, but I guess Nordstrom and Dillard's does, and they use the scale from the website above.

I hope all you ladies who have already gone are well, and good luck to those who are going soon!

I am 1 week post op today and the time has just flown by! My life is definitely back to "normal" but I am trying to still do things easier and slower than usual. Chores are a pain because I am type A and cannot STAND a mess, but I am also trying to not hurt myself or throw my implants out of whack while Im picking up my kids toys for the nine-hundredth time, lol! The good news is my legs are getting a good workout from using them to bend down!!

Has anyone else noticed that their boobs look more square at the end of the day from using your pec muscles? My boobs are starting to settle down in the upper pole more and more each day; When I wake up, they are looking more natural, but when I start using my arms, my pecs swell up again making them have more of a shelf like appearance. Just curious if anyone else noticed this and for how long? I am trying to remember to use T-Rex arms while lifting things but I forget ALOT!

My hubs loves my new boobs a lot more than I expected and can't stop staring at them, lol! It's definitely a nice side effect and I appreciate the attention. I was not sure if he would have any reaction to them because he was truly indifferent about me getting them in the first place. After 6 years of marriage it's nice to be noticed again, if you know what I mean!!

I am still feeling great and not needing any pain meds. Like others I find back sleeping to be less than fulfilling, but I keep telling myself that Heather Locklear trained herself to do it to avoid wrinkles on her face and she looks damn good at her age, lol! I am figuring that I am helping my boobs AND my face right now!!!!!
