It's official, I LOVE my boobs. It has taken me nearly 2 years to fully love them. Here are a few things worth mentioning if you might be struggling.
1. It took my boobs a full year and a few months to fully settle. They no longer look unnatural and actually have the perfect amount of hang to make people wonder.
2. It took nearly a full two years for my mind to remap my new body's look. The boobs felt too big because they were so much bigger than what I had previously. The mind is powerful.
3. Give it time. If you would have asked me in the first year if I wanted them out or regretted the decision I would have said yes.
4. Everyone is different and moves at a different pace. Mine did not feel apart of me 100% until now nearly 2 years later. I don't feel any sort of "foreign object" in my body. If you are a hyper sensitive person like myself, it may take you some time to not feel them.
5. Yes, I can do yoga. I'm back 100% and have been for quite some time. I do inversions. Yogis have no fear.
6. Oddly, I can't swim as good as I used to but, not a big swimmer so I forgo to have boobs that I love.
My mini tummy tuck still has the edema around the scar. I'm really on the fence about the tummy tuck. In some cases it's nice because the loose skin was just a hair above a bikini line and now it's tugged down. But the bulge from the edema is not nice either. I may ask my doctor if there is anything that can be done.
Overall, Dr. Newman new way more than me in terms of how things would look down the road. I'm so happy now for the size he gave me and that he overfilled them, I have no rippling. I think my boobs are gorgeous. When I see him April I will see if there is anything that can be dome about the edema.

I have saline unders. My doctor did a lift as well. I must say it has taken me a full year to really adjust to my new boobs. I am still think they are too big but not overly big. I've accepted what they are at this point. I've found shopping for clothes and bras at Victoria Secret has been a life saver. Their clothes and bras fit me to a T, helping so much. Long gone are the days of fitting into a Target swimsuit. I've settled into a 34 DD.
I also had a mini tummy tuck which I will show later. Unfortunately, my edema around the scar has not gone away and I'm starting to think it won't. I have a lump of skin above the scar that is a roll of fat that the scar stops from falling. I can live with it but I definitely shouldn't have messed with my stomach as I feel I traded one problem for another and my original problem wasn't that bad.
