Post Op: 24 Year Old, No Kids, BL/BA 425 cc Silicone Under Muscle, in Miami, FL

Hello ladies!

My three month boobiversary was last Friday and I am feeling great! This surgery was one of the best decisions I could have made and I LOVE my results!

My breasts feel like they are completely mine and I think they fit my body well. They are pretty squishy and bouncy, but don't jiggle as much as my natural breasts did. The Bio Corneum gel has been fantastic! My vertical scars are basically invisible and my horizontal ones are starting to turn white at the edges. However, my horizontal scars are thicker, so I'm not sure if they will completely disappear. My areolas have been healing well and have rounded out for the most part, but you can tell they aren't perfectly circular. I think my breasts are in the perfect position - they've dropped enough so that they don't look like two round beach balls on my chest, but they are still really perky. I do wear some sort of bra every day (either a sports bra or the Playtex Comfort Flex) and I wear a sports bra to bed each night. The only difference I notice when wearing a bra is that my breasts move together a little bit, but they aren't resting heavily on the bra band or anything. I honestly think that Dr. Hochstein just did that good of a job that my breasts don't need a lot of support. :)

The biggest change I've noticed is that my right nipple sensation is coming back!! I actually just noticed this the other week and I couldn't be happier! I don't think that the sensation is quite where it was pre-op, but my breast is definitely not completely numb like it was before.

Overall I love my breasts and am extremely happy with my decision. I probably won't update again for another couple of months, but I'll be checking my account periodically if anyone asks questions.

These last two weeks have flown by! There's not too much new to report, but I do think that my breasts are healing well and they are feeling more and more like real boobs every day. I still have some numbness in my right nipple/areola and a little bit around my vertical incision. The numb area is getting smaller and smaller though so I'm confident I'll get feeling back in my nipple soon. My left nipple sensation has completely returned to normal.

I am still applying the bio corneum gel twice a day to my incisions and I think they are looking really good for only eight weeks post. I just started applying the gel around my areola incisions since I had some sutures coming out and the skin on my right areola was stilling healing. I still have some slightly mild itching on the outsides of my breasts, so I apply Cortisone cream there and bio oil to the inside to help with the stretch marks. What good is having amazing cleavage if it's full of stretch marks? I think I've noticed a slight improvement in them since starting the bio oil, but that could just be in my mind.

My breasts have dropped and fluffed a little more and have a more natural look. I think they can still stand to drop a tiny bit more, but I hope they stay perky like this for a long time! I can push them together and create great cleavage, but when I put a bra on they don't naturally move together yet. They are really soft and squishy and have great bounce to them.

I absolutely love my new breasts and can't even believe my before photos. I used to wear a cami with a built in shelf bra EVERY SINGLE DAY, because I would spill out of my bras. Now I don't even have to wear a bra and I only wear a cami if my shirt has sheerness to it. Of course I do wear a bra every day to make sure the girls stand the test of time, but it's great knowing I'm not bound to a bra! Dr. Hochstein is truly incredible and his work speaks for itself!

Woo it's finally the six week mark! I just sent my photos in to Amanda and Dr. H. and they said everything is looking great and will look better as I heal. I double checked that my breasts look good and that the difference in height is normal since my right is dropping quicker than my left. I was also cleared to work out, but am not allowed to do chest specific exercises (push ups, bench press, etc.). yet. I'm going to start with some dance cardio today, because I just ordered Shaun T.'s Cize program and can't wait to start!

I still have numbness in my right nipple and on the inside of both of my vertical incisions. But, the numb area is getting smaller around my incisions, so I'm confident the feeling will return. My scars are looking good and the vertical ones are very flat. I've been kind of lazy with my scar treatment and only apply it once a day, but I am going to start being more adamant about applying twice daily. I've been using the bio oil on the breasts (besides my incisions) to help moisturize my skin and help with some stretch marks I've developed. Other than that, I really haven't noticed much difference since last week, except that my breasts are much softer. I can fully squish them together (instead of just the tops) and they jiggle when I move around. They aren't 100% where they should be yet, but that's to be expected.

I'm not sure if I'll continue updating every week after this point since I only need to update my PS every other month from now on. But, I do like tracking my progress on this site. Whenever I've feeling down about how my breasts look/am impatient waiting for the final result, I take a trip down memory lane to see how far they've come. That really helps boost my mood and it's nice to track how my breasts change each week.

Also, a few weeks back (I think at week two) I posted a question about using molded cup sports bras. I asked Amanda today if bras like that are okay and she said they are perfect, I just have to make sure they aren't too tight to the point they move my breasts together. I originally returned that bra, but I'm about to go pick it back up for my work out. I'm cleared to wear any bra I want now (except underwire and push up), but I think I'm going to stick with sports bras for the time being since I don't know my true size yet. If you ladies have any bra suggestions please let me know!
