Sick of Wearing Push Up Bras! Ready for a Change! 21 Years Old, 220cc. - New Zealand

I thought I'd just do a final wrap up of my story, I've been really terrible with updates post op!
I am now 5 months post op :)

My recovery went really well (easier than recovering from wisdom teeth extraction...) The first night sleep was the hardest, just due to the tightness of my chest (I think most of it was caused by the bandages). It was difficult to push myself up the bed or get out of bed without using my arms. But that got a lot easier after a week. The rest of the time I was just waiting until I was allowed to exercise again, and was also itching to get into a proper underwire bra and see how I looked. But you should follow your surgeons advice and wait until they say you can wear one (I know its hard to resist!)

I am so happy that I went through with this procedure. My life is so different now, but only in the sense of how I see myself. No one else is any the wiser because I look the same as I did before with my massive push up bras. But I feel so much happier and I love my boobs now. I almost can't remember how I felt before the surgery and how they looked because now it feels like they have always been mine.

I have had so much fun getting dressed, going bra shopping and trying on new styles of clothes I would have never worn before (like strapless dresses! all I wear with them are nipple covers :P ) I feel so much better about my body and more confident every day.

Here's a couple more photos that I just took of myself, to replace the nasty 1 day post op photos which aren't very good as an "after" photo haha.

So had it done yesterday morning, was my first time with GA but everything happened so quick I didn't even have time to get nervous when I got into the operating theatre. All I really felt when I woke up in the recovery room was just tightness from the bandage they had put across me. I didn't end up getting the pain buster, and I'm happy I didn't because there was really not much pain, and I saved some money too! I probably got to a maximum of a 4 or 5/10 on the pain scale throughout all of my recovery yesterday and today.

I feel much better today even, I came home this morning and have just been sitting around watching TV all day!
I will say though that my nights sleep last night was rather terrible. I didn't sleep much at all because it became very tight and I was getting pain on the inner side of my left breast, plus I had a lot of upper back pain. But hopefully tonight will be better!

I'm really happy with how everything went, it was all so easy. I haven't really managed to get a full look at them yet, I actually think they are really big at the moment! Sort of hoping that they will go down a little, but I won't mind too much if they don't haha.

I ended up getting 220cc, I was more worried about being too big than being too small. So I'm really glad I went with that size.
But yeah, I'm feeling totally fine! Just feels like I went too hard at the gym right now haha

Here are a couple of photos, you guys are seeing as much as I have seen so far hahaha, too scared to take off the surgical bra just yet.

Hi all!
I just thought Id update from my last one as I am feeling a lot more positive and excited again. Thank you so much for all the supportive comments, they really helped me get out of my mental funk. I am now so excited for my new boobies and to go out shopping and finally feel good about myself when I'm getting dressed everyday!
I know that I will still be s**ting myself on the day of my surgery, and will most likely have another freak out before I go in. But Ill just have to deal with that as it comes, I am quite a worrier haha.

I am feeling a lot better about the scarring, as I talked to the nurse the other day and she said my skin type is usually very good at healing and rarely has visible scars. So that makes me feel better, although I am still a little worried.

I am just going to try focus on all the good things I will be able to do after this surgery, I am aware of all the risks and complications but I don't think its any good worrying about them as that won't stop them from happening haha.

I will try update again before my surgery. I hope everyone is well and enjoying their boobies! :)
