Time keeps flying by! Weird only being 8 weeks PO, it feels like it’s been a lifetime. I’ll spare the super long update, if anyone wants to know more details feel free to comment or message me.
At this point they look and feel natural. They’re soft and squishy and I don’t notice them anymore (except to love on them cause they’re amazing). No pain, no discomfort, no daily life restrictions.
I’m back in the gym 100%, working on getting my strength back now. Squatting benching and deadlifting well above body weight. Again no discomfort. Can do push ups and pull ups as well.
Incisions are healing well and are so perfectly in the crease they aren’t very noticeable.
Overall the best decision I’ve ever made for myself!!!

Today marks one month since surgery! Time has flown. It feels like it’s been forever.

Life is back to normal. I’m back in the gym, not quite at my 100% there but working my way back to it. So far the only limits I have in the gym is anything with my arms above my head. The skin around my incisions and the incisions themselves is still very very tight and pulls uncomfortably if I try to hang from a pull up bar or anything like that. Sex is almost back to normal, still having to be a little cautious and limit the rough stuff.

I’m chugging along nicely as they begin to drop and fluff. I’m looking forward to hopefully seeing more D&F progress in the next few weeks. I think I read the textured take longer, esp since I’m not massaging. They have changed pretty significantly and look as if they’re getting bigger by the week haha. But I still have a good bit of upper pole that I can’t wait to get rid of. I don’t like that look on myself. Wearing a 34D in Victoria’s Secret bras (I know they run big but I’m totally enjoying saying I’m a D at the moment)! My incisions look amazing, my surgeon did an incredible job all around.

A few thoughts I’ve had lately:
1. “If you didn’t love yourself before, you won’t love yourself after!” I saw this quote before my surgery and it couldn’t be more true. Don’t go into a BA expecting it to fix all your self esteem and confidence issues! Don’t get me wrong- I def have more confident with my breasts. However, if it’s not one thing, it’s another... I’ve already caught myself hating on my stomach or other areas of my body now that my boobs are “fixed.” Ladies love yourself before and after!! You were beautiful before surgery and are after.
2. Boob greed and boobie blues are very real and very normal! I didn’t think it’d happen to me. But of course it did! Weeks 2-4ish have been tough because 1. I’ve gotten used to the size and already caught myself wishing I went bigger! And 2. I’m so impatient waiting for them to drop and quit looking so odd! But I continuously remind myself that everyone goes through these feelings, it’s normal and it will pass!!
3. One day (it happened one day for me, at least), they’ll POP, it’ll click, and you’ll LOVE THEM! I swear, I was being moody as could be about my boobs. But I woke up one day, took one look at them, and LOVED THEM. I got OBSESSED with them. All of the sudden it was like... wait a minute. These are the dream boobs I’ve always wanted and I’m so happy I could cry!! I went to Victoria’s Secret and got a beautiful balconette bra (which is a style I’ve always loved but could never wear before) and I cried looking at myself in it. My boobs felt like me, they felt like exactly what I was meant to be born with. They look like they belong on my body and they feel that way too. They aren’t heavy, they aren’t in my way, I don’t notice them anymore (except when I catch glances of how gorgeous they look). So yeah, one day it CLICKED and I realized exactly why I went through all this.

Other thing worth noting: I don’t have any numbness on my breasts (again my surgeon was so amazing). My nipples got crazy sensitive from about week 2 until now (week 4). I think it was worse because it was the time of the month when I was ovulating and my nipples already get sensitive from that. Surgery made it worse. And made my period was a week late (which is crazy out of the ordinary for me). Oh and it gave me crazy acne on my face, chest, and back. I anticipated all these things though- good to know ahead of time if you’re already prone to hormonal acne and nipple sensitivity like me!

Overall I couldn’t be happier with this decision. The size couldn’t be more perfect on my body. They aren’t tenting my t shirts, they’re perfectly proportioned to my hips, and I have the exact amount of side boobs/curves to make my waist look tiny (that was a nice unexpected surprise)! The recovery has been a million times easier than I anticipated and I’ve never been happier or more self assured with a decision in my life!!

Going into my second week post op, today is day 10. I had my first follow up on Wednesday (day 8 post op). They changed the tape over my incisions and said everything looked great. My PS basically cleared me for anything beginning next week (once 2 full weeks post op have gone by). I can wear any bras I want, work out, and have no weight restrictions (since I went over the muscle). I do plan to take it slow and steady though.
Definitely feeling a little impatient right about now. I’m so excited to see how they will look once the healing and dropping process is done. The tape is also driving me nuts because it’s itchy and it gets in the way of my [RS bleep] haha it’s not very sexy!
I’ve had a hair of Boobie blues too, mostly because I was so excited for this and I feel like I have no one to share it with. I wish I could send everyone pics of my new boobs so they could be as excited as me lol. But I’m very grateful for communities like this where I can share my progress pictures!! I’m also still getting tired very easily, which frustrates me. I hit a wall every afternoon and have to nap. Trying to be patient with my body as I know I am still healing!
