This last 2 weeks been a roller coaster of emotions for me just because i think it is so hard to accept my new body. But i went in to the my PS last week and he said everything looked great which i didnt agree with him because one was still much higher than the other causing them to look like 2 different breasts.

This week has been a lot better for me. He gave me a bandage to strap above my breasts and that has helped with the dropping and they look like sisters now.

I'm sorry you've been having a hard time. I struggled emotionally for a few weeks early on too and your boobs look beautiful!!

Thanks so much for ur support and comfort. There were times when i thought about getting a revision but today i can see they are starting to match up which gave me light of hope. Where do shop for bras now? And do u wear pish up bra yet?

I'm glad you feel better because you have looked amazing since day 1!! I still don't wear a normal bra. Just bralettes, nursing bras and sports bras. My dr said I could wear under wires at 6 weeks but I want to go bigger so I didn't want to spend $60 on a bra that may not fit after. I still sleep in a sports bra because I don't know if I should sleep with no support yet. I forgot to ask my dr at my last visit (6 weeks post).

Forgot to add that my right is higher and firmer since it was pre op and will always be smaller. It sometimes drives me crazy but I'm trying to appreciate the overall beauty rather than obsessing over the imperfections! It's hard some days though :-)

I'm going through the same thing. sometimes they look different, sometimes they look the same. But I just massage them everyday to drop! Idk if I should get new regular bra or keep wearing sports bra till they fully drop! What type of bandage your PS gave you to strap above your breasts?? Btw your breasts look amazing looks more natural :)

Hi!
I'm new to this community and am thinking about getting my breast done too. I love your results. I have a very similar body type to yours (5'5 107lbs) and I was wondering what size implants did you end up going with? Was your implant over or under the muscle?
I appreciate any advice you can give because I am about 80% committed to BA but am still worried about complications, breast being too big, and body acceptance.

Btw, what was your cup size before you had your baby?

sorry for bombing your feed with questions!

Yeah can see a dramatic difference going to start putting my strap back on coz it seems to have worked wounders for you.

You can see a distinct different if you were to stare at them for 5 mins. I kinda wish i hadn't gone bigger on one side. I just want to cry!

They look beautiful. I Hope you find you peace with them. I want some so bad and sad thing is I don't think I'll ever have them, at first I had my husband support and it's was great especially since he's the one with an income, now Ive lost him, (support wise) he read some article online that changed his mind now I have to find a way to come up with the money myself.. :( i guess my point is i hope you can find some peace knowing your boobs look really good and if you focus on taking care of yourself first then that should be enough.. i think.

Thanks so much hun. It's just so hard to love them right now because they look totally different from one another. I just feel like i have 2 different boobs! I just think every women should be able to love themselves. I was just like you my husband did not like the thought of fake boobs, and my inlaws were so opposed to the ideas of plastic surgery. I ended up saving halfway and i did care credit for the other half. I hope you soon can undergo the surgery to boost yourself esteem. Even though it will be along emotional journey before we reach the final but from what i've heard, its worth everything! Goodluck honey!

You still look beautiful!! They will change so much over time and you are still very early. I'm 2 months and still waiting (and stressing) for them to look like I envisioned. It's an emotional journey but your boob looked amazing when you first got them and still do!

I dont want to be a debbie downer but this has bothered me for the last 2 days. I know it's probably nothing and im just over worrying myself. I just noticed a dent a fee days ago, well good news that has gone away but i am starting to notice the left side somehow doesnt seem to match up with my right. I pray to Lord i am not forming any type of problems. I called the office and spoke to the nurse and they reassured me everything is fine just be patience, well that resulted me checking them in the mirror every 2 hrs. Can anyone see any differen or is it just me?

Remember, they're sisters, not twins. They will drop and settle at different rates. Give it time. :)

Thanks dear. I'm just probably stressing myself out too much. But i am so afraid of forming double bubble, bottom out.
