Modest BA - 200-225cc

Hit 2 big milestones - waited the full 3 months and finally got the go-ahead to work out (upper body) and wear real bras! I’ve been exclusively in recovery/sports bras 24/7 until now, and only running for exercise, no weights. At VS I’m a 32DD, which does seem absurd, yes, because I know I look smaller. But that is what fits best there. I’d guess probably a 34C in other brands. Scars are completely flat and smooth, essentially nonexistent, but slightly dark. Luckily they are aligned perfectly with the crease and are only visible if I raise my arms. The boobs feel much softer now, but because I have thin tissue I can still feel the implant slide in there, if I squeeze or push them around with my hands. I can also feel some rippling at the bottom when I am standing upright and cup them with my fingertips. I’m a little self-conscious that I don’t think they would pass for natural by feel. I’m also a little self-conscious of the gap between them, which is wide, although I do believe it is completely aligned with my natural anatomy and the chest I originally had anyway. Not a lot of upper pole fullness either, but I think it’s a nice natural slope. At least I can make cleavage with push-up bras, but I admit I am now noticing and a bit envious of everyone else’s closer cleavage these days. I do love the size, though. Overall definitely 100% glad I did it!

Made it to the 4 week mark! Feeling awesome and SO glad I did this. It is exactly what I asked for - I got back my “natural” body before kids. The last photo shows then and now. My boobs aren’t anything noticeable under winter clothing, which is nice because no one work or even my family has noticed, but I think they look *just right* naked. I think they are perfect for my frame, especially since I’m a runner. Speaking of- I haven’t done any exercise yet but I’m thinking I’ll be starting up running again very soon. Other things to note- still wearing the recovery/support bra 24/7 (1 month down, 2 to go), still don’t know my bra size but assuming 34 B like I was, and still sleeping inclined on the wedge pillow every night. Trying to do recovery right, I’m in no rush and it’s worth it to do everything recommended the best I can. I am very excited to get through the next 2 milestone months though!

I was so glad to get the tape off the stitches on Monday this week. (Today is Friday.) My doctor was very pleased with how well the incisions were healing and his office refunded me $74 for the scar cream, because he said I didn’t need it. Most days I am really happy with exactly what I got size-wise. When it comes to taking these photos, I feel like they don’t show off as well in pics as they seem in real life or in the mirror. But most days I think the size is perfect and I am glad I didn’t go any bigger. I think their positioning looks great for under 3 weeks, very natural, which was my goal. The gap is just my anatomy and exactly what I had before - I told my doctor I didn’t want to have fake looking perma-cleavage that is always there even braless. I can’t wait until they soften up more though and become less tender. They don’t hurt, but my under boob is still tender to touch, and I feel like a push-up bra would be uncomfortable. I do also end up quite sore by the end of a long day of work and parenting. My nipples are also sensitive from always being trapped in a bra. Basically, everything seems to be healing and progressing great so far, but I am eager for the day when they feel fully healed and squishable. :) Speaking of squish, I have that “squeaky boob” feeling behind my right breast when I squeeze or push it, which feels and sounds kind of weird, but I know it’s nothing to worry about.
