I have been away for a while so I thought I would post an update on my progress. I am very satisfied with how things have turned out. My breasts are perfect. I am wearing a 34 DD bra which I didn't expect to be wearing but I'm ok with that. I also am in a size 10 pants/dress and a s/m shirts and pants. I love the way I look now. I still have swelling in the evening so my tummy looks best early in the morning. My boobs look great all the time. Lol! I still can't get completely comfortable when laying on my stomach due to the implant but it's much better. I stopped scar treatment at about the 3 month mark but I'm going to start back to try and make my scars even less visible. I hope everything is going well with all of you. Take care!

No. It was a waste of time. I felt no difference when I left that day.

Almost 7 weeks

So it's been almost 7 weeks since surgery and I'm feeling great. I'm back at work full-time and picking up shifts at my part-time/PRN job and have been fine. No excessive swelling or pain to report. I'm almost back to my normal workout routine. I went to my step class last week and did pretty good. There were some things I had to modify and I was exhausted but overall I was proud of myself. I saw my ps about 1.5 wks ago and they took some after pics and gave me clearance to start working out my arms. I still haven't done any ab work but I'll start that about 3 months post-op. I'm looking forward to this summer and being able to wear some cute fitted tops. I really don't have too much to report. I'm 90% happy with my results. I absolutely love my breasts and my scarring there is minimal already. I wish I didn't still have a pooch at the bottom but it is a significant improvement from before. Maybe in a few years I'll get a revision, but my next surgery will be a thigh lift. Possibly a butt lift as well. Not sure about that one but the beginning of next year I'll really start looking into this next step and pick a date.

You have really recovered nicely and back to a more normal routine. That is awesome! I am also feeling like my old self again at 7 weeks. I am glad to be moving further away from the day of surgery. It is great to feel "normal".

Yes. He said that I could try to work it off at the gym, get liposuction, or have another surgery where he would do a vertical and horizontal incision to remove it. Right now I'm going with the least invasive option and going to the gym. Lol!

I agree about starting at the gym. I have some areas on my sides towards my back that I thought would be gone but not so much. So I think a few pound lost and some exercise just might do the trick!

Wow! Your breast incisions look almost invisible! I am so jealous. My white girl skin makes my incisions look as pink as bubblegum. How are you feeling? You look amazing!!!
