Day 22 I have FINALLY found a bra that works!...

WORTH IT
Day 22
I have FINALLY found a bra that works! It is the Victoria's Secret Body Wireless bra and I LOVE it!!
I am surprised to say this because I have not been a huge fan of Victoria's throughout the years.
My PS told me that I needed to find a wireless bra that still offered good support while I am healing. I went to Soma, Dillard's, Macy's etc.
(We don't have Nordstroms here, dammit!)
Finding a decent wireless bra is really hard.
I searched all over and finally gave into the big pink store with supermodels all over the walls. I am glad I did. This bra was $40 and it looks and feels perfect.
I am a 34 D in Victoria's Secret. Kind of strange because that is the same size I wore with the old implants and these are 100 cc bigger and now lifted. Maybe I had the wrong size before, who knows?
Anyway, I like the way this bra looks and I really like the way the new boobs look. Not too big, not too small. They are just right, and I am thinking since I am past the 3 week mark that this is pretty much the way they will be.
So ladies if you have implants and want to find a good wireless bra, check it out.
My PS says later on I will be able to wear the wired ones again, but this one is so comfortable I may just stick with it!

Day 18 Post Op I decided to go to the pool...

Day 18 Post Op
I decided to go to the pool all day with my kids and boy am I tired! It was really hot and the only thing I can do is put my legs in the water at this point. No submersion yet.
I decided that I would do a test today and see what everything looked like without wearing the Spanx all day. I also wanted to test out the new bikini.
I covered up my vertical scar with a band aid and also covered up my new BB with a band aid. So obvious I had some sort of something done, but then I thought what the hell? It's the Country Club and 90% of the women up there have done something too.
Have to say I love the new boobs. My friend even told me she thought they look natural. I don't think that is the case, but then again I always think the fake ones look better anyway!
So, this past week I was thinking that I did not really have any swelling, and I really didn't have much but now without wearing the Spanx all day I can see that I have a little bit more this afternoon. I guess they are still serving their purpose and I will continue to wear them. It was nice to take a break from that today though and wear a bikini.
I guess I could wear a one piece next time if I feel like the swelling is going to happen, but it sure feels a lot better to wear a bikini... I probably rushed it a little bit though.
I took some day 18 pics when I got home. I will post those now.
Not much different. I am looking forward to finding out what I can do about the scar therapy on my next visit.

Wow, intervention huh? That's funny. I think you look awesome! I haven't told anyone I'm having the mommy makeover. Only my husband knows, I'm curious to see what kind of reaction I'm going to get. Actually curious may not be the best word...more like terrified. ha!
I definitely agree they have way to much time on their hands. BUT my own husband even said to me "you aren't doing all this so you can leave me for someone else are you?" haha HELLO! I'm doing this 50% for him b/c I wanna look good for him and myself.
So, I guess there is a little bit of stereotype with these surgeries. I don't think there is anything wrong with wanting to look good after kids. I mean everything we do is for our children and it takes a toll on the body, so what's wrong with doing a little maintenance work? Don't let it make you feel bad cause girl you look incredible!

Thanks girl. It surprised me that they did that, but honestly I am walking around so happy these days I really do not give a flip!
Yes, the hubbys can say strange things when their wives suddenly start looking hot. They know they need to keep up with us. ha ha! Mine said this week that he wanted to do some laser on his acne scars. I was thrilled. I want him to look and feel his best so I am all for it!!
I wanted to say a couple of things to you...
1)Don't be afraid of the lift or the scars. I cannot even see mine much any more and I am not even at the 3 week point. They don't bother me a bit and I got the full lollipop lift. My results with that were perfect, I am so happy I agreed to let my PS do what he thought was best, and not the crescent lift, or implants alone I originally thought I wanted.
2) Since you are getting implants with your lift, check into the High profile. I highly recommend this. They give you maximum fullness at the top, which is why you want the lift in the first place-right??!
3) Get your implants big enough to be pretty but not big enough that they will sag before you are ready for them to. As my PS says "Whether they come from a box in Texas or from God, they all are going to sag eventually." Truer words could not be spoken, and as a person who has gone through sag (like me) I know you can appreciate this.
So be careful with your sizing.
Good luck to you. I am from TN myself, so understand the need for the Southern girls to look hot. It's in our heritage! ha ha!

Maria,
Hi I read your post as well and I am happy that you have had a good experience with Dr. Loutfy. I was really impressed with him, and I saw other PS here in Albuquerque before I made that decision.
My new implants are so different from the ones I had 16 years ago. Those were done in TN. Dr. Loutfy did a much better job and mine were a little more complicated because I had a lift this time and I had to have the scar tissue removed.
I will tell you that Dr. L. is not a huge fan of the crescent lift. I went in there thinking that is what I wanted too. I did not have a huge degree of sag and other doctors told me that the crescent was all I needed. After talking with him and researching it, I decided to let him do the full lollipop lift and I am so glad I did. I think my results were better since I did that and I also think that they will last longer as I age.
I will be 40 next year and I want this to last as long as possible!
And the best part is that Dr. Loutfy makes tiny, tiny incisions. I cannot even hardly see the incisions on my breasts at this point and I am only one day past 3 weeks. My tummy tuck is the same. I am really impressed with his skill. My old implants had huge scars and he removed those for me as well.
Admittedly, I would have loved to get bigger implants as you did. I really thought about it a lot as I am on the tall side, for Albuquerque especially. I was concerned though that they would sag again since I have been through that before.
I am not planning on gaining 100 pounds ever again, so hopefully that will not happen. I like the look of the larger implants though, so the high profiles for me were a good compromise.
Congratulations on your new look and I am so happy for you! You look great!!!

Day 18 Feeling great. Better than great,...

Day 18
Feeling great. Better than great, actually. I am pretty much back to normal as far as my energy level goes so I have to be careful not to overdo it.
As a weird and slightly funny side note I will tell you ladies that some of my friends staged a little "intervention" for me tonight...
Apparently they were concerned about me because I have lost so much weight and then had plastic surgery, and also I like to sometimes spend time by myself.
Excuse me, but WTF????!!!
These are people who KNEW I was doing this surgery. I TOLD them about it. Some of these folks have even done procedures themselves.
So I am sitting here tonight scratching my head and trying to figure out why people think I have some sort of emotional issue going on.
I am vain and I just wanted to look a little better, people. It is as simple as that. I do not have an eating disorder. I like food and I like beer, and I also like my hubby. We are not getting divorced and I do not have some sort of hidden issue, hidden boyfriend, or secret life going on.
Uuuugggghhh! These women apparently have way too much time on their hands.
So watch out ladies. Some of your friends may be supportive of you and then some of them may think you are totally effed up because you did this.
Whatever.. I am happy and happier every day I did this. No intervention needed!!

dude post some current pics, I know your like waaaaay far in your recovery now! Im 15 days now and Im still waiting for the swelling to go down. arrrrgh I feel like my incision is high, but that could be because Im still not standing completely straight up, and Im still swollen. YOu think it will like move down a bit? I know that sounds weird, but I feel like it will? anyways I just wanted to say how freakin smokin hot you look, hawler! hehe I bet you are so happy with your bods now :)
June 24, 2011
Hey there, You do look great!!!
I know you must be happy as well and I don't think your incision is too high personally. It looks to be hidden in your underwear, so I am sure it will be hidden in a swimsuit as well, right?
It also looks to be straight, which I think is a major plus. I think your surgeon did a great job!
It is all going to look totally different when the swelling goes down, so wait a while and see. I bet you will not think your incision is high at all once everything smoothes out. You have a nice natural hourglass shape now, and you are going to look great in jeans, swimsuit, whatever and no one will see that scar.
I also am loving the polka dottie bra!! You are lucky if those boobies are the real thing and you did not have to have them done, and then RE-Done like I did!
I think you look fantastic!!
I did not have lipo, so I think that is one of the reasons I did not have a lot of swelling to deal with. I also think the Spanx are helping with that, even though I HATE wearing my scuba suit when it is so effing hot outside!! (It was 100 here today).
I am betting you are hot there too, since you are not that far from me here in NM.
I am very happy with the way this turned out for me. I wore a knit dress with a wide waist-cincher belt tonight and got tons of compliments. I would have never worn anything like this before because I never had a waistline like this before this surgery. It has been a lot of fun so far to feel this good about myself.
I am at day 18 today and feel pretty much normal. I am gonna take some 3 week pics this weekend so I will get them up soon I promise. It all looks pretty much the same as day 12 except the boobs are in place a little more and the waist is a little smaller.
I am looking forward to doing the scar therapy. I sure hope this little vertical one I have will fade OK. I know it is going to look a little strange for a while, but that is OK. For right now I am just enjoying looking really nice in my clothes and getting to wear things that are tight on my waist that I could not wear before.
I am so happy for you and I love your enthusiasm when you write about how you feel. I know that there are probably lots of women "on the fence" about doing this and you have helped them have the courage to do it!!
Glad you are almost straight too. I know that was a bugger for ya!!
I look forward to seeing more of your pics as well. I will try to get mine up this weekend.
Thanks again for your comments, you crack me up!

I am so happy I did this, and BTW I feel the same way you do about botox. My PS gave me some for free and I love it! I got a shitload of it too. ha ha. 65 units and my skin has never looked better.
Put it in a pipe and smoke it...That stuff is the white woman's CRACK!!
Hope you are having fun in your cute bikins this summer. I am sure you are making all those Texas women over there jealous too!!
I am size 4 pretty much except on some things that are too short sometimes (such as pants) because of my height.
Before this I was a 6-8. I always had to go a little larger to account for the extra skin around my waist.
I guess those damn drains did help with the swelling, but I only had them for 5 days when I pulled them out.
I still drink a ton of water. That seems to help me more than anything.
You look great too!! take care girl!
