3 months post op! Sorry I haven't updated In so long...
I was getting some comments on my posts asking for updates. My result have come along way and I'm so happy!!!
I will take a few more photos and post them on here today. But here's a quick peak at what my boobs look like now!
As for pain- it's almost completely subsided. Only hurts if I squeeze my boobs really hard. I am able to workout every day, run jump, lift... No problems! Still no push-ups, bench presses or chest flys (DRs orders).
Physical Update: how I am feeling 13 days post op
Othernotes:
- still not driving
- Not wearing bra provided by surgeon (haven't been since ~post-op day 4) . I found something much more comfortable at under armour.
- opening heavy door still hurts
- walking too fast still hurts
- pain along the incisions is most concentrated and intense
- can do most things myself at this point, except for lifting heavy objects and reaching for things high above my head
- gaining more agency....but exhaust quite easily (very tired by 3pm on a work day)
Boobs are looking more natural each day. They still have quite a ways to go in terms of dropping and fluffing, but there is notable progress each day. I will post some updated pictures tomorrow. Are there any types of photos you ladies would like to see in particular? Any questions you have?
I want to provide whatever helpful insights I can! Let me know :)
First steri-strips fell off!!!! (also burning has subsided)
Anyways here are some pics of what my breasts looked yesterday morning, before the strips fell off, and in the evening, afterwards.
I applied Biocorneum scar cream to all my incisions that are now exposed. Rubbing it in didn't hurt at all. In fact, it was soothing. Side note: Amazon is the cheapest place to buy this stuff (at least right now). I got my bottle on there for $78 (link below). My PS was selling the same size bottles at his office for $150 each! Amazon prices fluctuate... so can't guarantee it'll be $78 by the time you look at it. My point is, If you need this scar cream, do a little research before you buy and make sure you're not getting screwed on the price.

Provider Review
I traveled from Washington, DC to have this procedure. I had three consultations with plastic surgeons proximal to my home, and a virtual consultation with Dr. H. As crazy as it sounds, I knew right away after speaking with Dr. H, that I wanted him to perform my breast lift/augmentation. His experience, patience, and expertise were so apparent over the phone. He made me feel more comfortable and confident than all the surgeons I'd talk to (crazy since I hadn't even met him in person!!). I received a price quote via email within 24 hours of my consultation with Dr. H. Much to my surprise, his quote was cheaper than any price I'd been quoted in DC. Given how renowned he is, I was not expecting this. Anyways, it is not about the money...but it's nice to know that he's not charging a ridiculously high price just because of his brand/name. I booked my surgery three days after my phone consultation. And about a month later I flew down to Miami for surgery. The staff at Dr. H's office is AMAZING. They are so caring and willing to answer any questions you might have. I emailed my patient coordinator 20+ times leading up to surgery and she always answered in 24 hours or less. Dr. H is very busy himself and I did not get to spend that much time with him during my pre-op/the day of surgery, but he did not rush me at all. He answered every question I had. He made me feel comfortable. He looked at my wish pics, advised me on how I could achieve my desired results, etc. All around, he was very kind and helpful. Our interactions were brief, but the guy is an expert and he gave me the attention I needed to ensure a safe and desirable outcome. I am currently 3 days post op and things couldnt be better. I am so happy with the outcome so far and I can't wait to see how things progress as my boobs continue to heal! I plan to keep an updated feed on my progress....so stay tuned!!
