10weeks (appx)
I keep saying that I will post an update, but haven't found the time until now. I'm just over 10 weeks post op and am doing pretty darn well.
The redness of my scars looks a lot more exaggerated than in real life. They're flat and healing nicely. I've noticed that I still have bruising in my armpits and under my breasts where I had major bruising after surgery. Nothing that concerns me, I'm just slow with the recovery process.
I feel great, and I feel that they look great as well. Completely natural and that was the look I was going for. I'm happy :)
I'm just now starting to lift heavy items and I must admit that it feels weird to have them move around in there... I hope I get used to it as time goes by. It's not painful or anything, just something that I am not used to.
I can't wait for the weather to warm up so I can get some sun and finally show these girls off! They've been tucked in hoodies and jackets all winter! I need to free them! Haha
I still have numbness under each breast and my nipple sensitivity is about the same as my last update.
The Victoria's Secret bra is lightly lined, has an underwire but no push up to it at all. It's a 34D :) :) :). I wore it today for the first time. I bought it a month ago but it felt too weird to wear so I've just been going with sports bras since surgery. I was happy to take it off today, but it wasn't annoying to wear.
I feel like this is a boring update but I'm committing to posting updates for you :)

8 weeks post op
Well Monday was the 8 week mark!
I saw my PS last Tuesday and all is well. He is happy with his work and so am I.
I can sleep on my back, stomach and sides....no problems there. My nipple sensitivity is dealing down now....still not 100% but it's tolerable. The numbness that I have is subsiding....although still apparent on both breasts.
The pain that I had in my left breast has miraculously gone away... Funny how it all starts to come together.
My goal now is to get some of my muscle strength in my chest back. I haven't stepped into my gym yet...although I have been doing some home work outs lately.
I want to mention one thing that I noticed on RealSelf. Pre-Op was full of excitement and interaction with other ladies also excited about getting new breast..... But post-op has been quite depressing as I go through the RS newsfeed.
Most woman who are recovering nicely, simply aren't posting! (Myself included) I want to hear from all the ladies who are doing well! For a while, I had to stop signing in to RealSelf as I working myself up over symptoms and conditions that I didn't have. I was almost anticipating the worst due to others reviews.... " I'm going to get that", " that's going to happen to me". It was overwhelming.
So here is my contribution to balancing out the statistics.
I am happy with my purchase, happy with my PS( as well as his staff and facility) and happy with how my recovery has gone so far.
Will post an update next week with how my scars are coming along. ( they look great so far)
Here is a pic that I took this morning. I love how natural they look.

FYI I still follow you and love your progress and how real you keep your posts:) you're right though once back to work comes along its hard to keep up with the posts!! Very happy for you and your results
March 10, 2016
Thank you, that is so nice of you to say. You've been doing well, too, I see! Yours are looking great! We chose the right doctor, I think ;)

They do look very natural! Beautiful outcome! Thanks for the update, I'm just 3 weeks out and really enjoy updates of ladies ahead of me
March 10, 2016
To see their progress and what can be expected (As well as those ladies at the same point as me and behind of course.. :) I pushed "post" prematurely. anyway, when people just disappear I wonder what happened to them! Glad your doing well.. you do have excellent results.
March 10, 2016
I am totally with you on those that disappear! There are a few girls that i am following that havent posted since their surgery.... so strange!
I read through your review and can offer a bit of advice with the dropping. My right breast was so slow to drop, but between the 5th-6th week i really noticed the change. I have documented the drop with pictures, (havent posted them here, but if interested i could share them) just stick to whatever homework your doctor suggested.... yours look great, by the way. :)
I only slept propped up for 3 nights. All other back sleep was straight back with a pillow under my knees. Its was way more comfortable than being propped. When i started sleeping on my side, I rolled up a small sport sock and shoved it in my cleavage. I know.... sounds strange but it eased my mind. I figured it kept that space as I slept and one breast didn't smash the other. No doctor gave that advice, just something I did off the top of my head. It may have done absolutely nothing, but as i said, it eased my mind. If you decide to try that, don't use an object thato will create a bigger gap etc....
Anyway, hang in there. All of a sudden it will all just come together.

Thank you, very helpful! I know it's only been 3 weeks but you get to feeling like it's never going to drop! silly I know, but it is nice to hear that others go through the same thing and then everything turns out great :) and I've FINALLY started sleeping on my side just a couple nights ago...soooo much better!
March 10, 2016

Coming along
I am now 5 weeks post op and feeling good.
As mentioned previously, I have been side sleeping since day 18 and have been sleeping on my stomach here and there for a short bursts. I can't make it longer than 2 hours on my stomach as its not very comfortable, but it's doable.
My breasts feel great. My right breast is still higher than the left... Massage massage massage.
I don't have to wear the strap anymore, but I have continued with it at night to help the right breast.
I'm able to wear bras now! I bought a few at Victoria's Secret last week.... And they already don't fit the same. I think I jumped the gun on that. Ah well. Let's see where I end up. When I was measured last, I was 34c.
My nipples are still highly sensitive. And my left breast (under) is still numb, but is slowly coming back to life.
All in all, things are well. I see my PS in 2 weeks and will update then, or if something changes or is worth sharing in the mean time. Here are a few pics.
