3 months post op! Sorry I haven't updated In so long...
WORTH IT$7,900
Hey everyone,
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
Overall I am happy with my progress. As my pain decreases, I am gaining back more and more mobility each day. I am taking Tylenol about 2-3 times a day now. I am no longer taking the Vicodin prescribed by Dr. H. I will use valium or Z-quil to fall asleep at night though. Sleeping on my back is very unnatural for me so I the drugs help me fall asleep in this otherwise uncomfortable position. For those of you that are also post-op, how long did it take before you could sleep on your side after surgery.
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 :)

I will be having some work done by Dr. H this week so a big thank you to you for giving me all the deats about your experience with him.

Considering choosing him as my surgeon and following your story has definitely been a push; your results are fantastic!

I can't recommend enough!! He is fantastic. You won't get much FaceTime with him, but in the sort time you do, he will answer all of your questions and instill 100% trust. His abilities are amazing and he is very kind. After 5 consultations with various plastic surgeons, I know Dr. h was miles above everyone else in terms of his results and surgical skill.
I traveled all the way from DC for this operation. And I would do it 100 times over I am so happy.
Best of luck to both of you on your journeys! Dr. H Is amazing, you're in great hands
:) :)

Hi there! Since you asked if there are any types of photos in particular, I have the same issue you have (or had) with the nipple/areola area being puffy and not flattening out. I am 6 months and mine still haven't. I don't have that nice rounded look. I'm going back in for some pocket work (a capsulorrhaphy on my right one and on my left one). I was thinking about getting a second opinion but can't find doctors in my area that have many reviews with pics on Realself so I can see their work. Seems like lots of Miami doctors have photos and reviews on this site.
Could you post some photos of your profile and sides of your breasts? Did yours flatten out?? You are the only other person that I've found with the same issue!

Hi, I'm considering having the same procedure with Dr. H... so far your review has been so helpful! Do you think you will be posting any more updates? I would love to see your progress! :-)

First steri-strips fell off!!!! (also burning has subsided)
Yesterday my first set of steri-stips fell off. I was excited by this so that I could finally see my incisions. I was nervous bc I am germ-a-phobic and the strips were providing me an admittedly, false sense of security against infection. I have been washing my breasts with anti-bacterial soap every time i shower though so I know things should be ok :)
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.

Looking amazing! I've been following your journey, your results look fantastic. Did you end up going with a moderate profile?
