38yrs Old, 2 Breast Fed Babies, 5'10", 132lbs - Miami, FL

Sorry for not posting for so long. I had a male friend that knew I was on here and got a little too interested. Also, I'm not totally happy with my results so I have good days and bad.
Anyway, it's been 3 months so the pics below are pretty much the end result of my 475cc moderate plus profile. Before surgery I had a lot of pressure from my husband not to go too big. He kept telling me girls from his office got 300 or 350 and they were big. I kept telling him they must have had more tissue to begin with. 500 or more cc's freaked him out so I went with 475. I regret not going bigger. My friends also pressured me not to go too big as well. They said a D would look out of place on me. Well, I have a small D now and it's small!!! I spent so much time reading reviews on here and telling myself not to make the mistake of going too small. I knew I was supposed to add 25cc's to whatever sizer I liked. I didn't. I listened to my husband and friends and that was stupid.
I'm not totally unhappy though. Like I said, I have good days. I'm thankful they don't look fake. I'm happy to be back to playing sports and they are not in the way. They look good in SOME sports bras. They are nice and soft. Scars are still healing but I think they are healing well.
My husband says a revision is out of the question, and I don't think I want to go through all that again anyway. At least not for a very long time. I put on some weight during the 2 months I couldn't exercise after surgery. I'm just now starting to exercise a lot again and lose the weight. My husband jokes with me and says if I get the rest of my body skinnier, it will make my boobs look bigger. Well, I'm trying!!!

Today marks 1 week since getting my breasts done. Yay! I've gotten so much more movement in my arms although I'm not allowed to raise them above shoulder level still. I had another post-op appointment today where they removed the bandages and took out 2 small sutures but left the rest until my next appointment. Best of all, they gave me the go ahead to shower and sleep however I want. I came straight home and took a shower! I finally got a look at the incision mark and I have to admit, it's pretty scary! I just have to keep in mind that it's only a week old and after 3 weeks I can start putting silicone scar strips on them. I'm not supposed to wear any sort of bra for 3 weeks and my nipples are super sensitive and my loose tank tops that I'm wearing kind of tug on the suture ends sometimes so I think tomorrow I'm going to go ahead and put a large band aid over them to keep from rubbing my shirt. I hated the bandages because the tape was getting itchy but now that they're off, I realize how much they protected my nipples and the incision.
My breast still don't feel like they are mine at this point. It feels like I've strapped something heavy and tight to my chest. Can't wait till the muscle relaxes and they drop and feel like part of me.
Here's some pics from today. They have a looong way to drop. And I'm really hoping my nipples straighten out. :(

Went to my first post-op apt yesterday. They removed bandages, pressed firmly on each breast, and replaced the bandages. The whole appointment took less than 5 minutes. I'm really jealous of the girls who get to shower after 2 or 3 days. My doc wants me to wait a full 7 days! So I still can't shower, brush my own hair, or sleep on my side. Ugh! My hair is a big grease ball. They said if I want my hair washed I can go to a salon. Eh, I'll just wait till I have clearance to shower. I'm not going anywhere anyway.
I got off the Vicodin because it made me itchy and lightheaded but last night I couldn't sleep and was really uncomfortable with all those pillows behind me so I ended up taking one and was cozy and out like a light within 10 minutes. So now, I'll take Tylenol during the day, and a Vicodin before bedtime. I've been going to bed at 9pm, waking up around 8am and taking a 2 hour nap during the day. There's just not much else I CAN do. I read other girls reviews how they go bra shopping and trying on clothes around this time, but I've been instructed not to raise my arms so I'm just following the docs advise. It's not worth it to hurry to process and rush things. I'm not supposed to wear any sort of bra for 3 weeks so there's no need to go shopping right now anyway. I'm seriously just trying to sit back and relax every day...and not feel guilty about it.
My kids are used to it by now. My 4 year old asks me "mommy, why did you get so slow?" and the little one will walk up to me and say "no sitting on mommy, mommy has boo boos". They are really gentle around me. They are going stir-crazy though. They are used to going to the park or the store etc. so tomorrow I arranged a play date at my house so they can at least have someone to play with. Anyway, I'm feeling pretty good. No pain, just pressure. And I itch where the tape is, I hope it all comes off on Friday at my next apt. Oh, and I'm soooo bloated! The swelling is moving down my body (on it's way out) plus all the meds that back up my system, and I started my period. Ugh! Better days to come!
