Just some photo updates. My left incisions have given me a little headache with the spit stitches but they're healing over now. I've been using Biocorneum on the completely healed parts and once everything is healed I'll start using Nexum tape. I think my areola incisions are pretty invisible, hopefully the vertical ones catch up.
Side note: I'm moving cross country in about a month, kind of nervous about lifting things but hopefully I'll be fine since I'll have movers to do the heavy stuff.

Feel pretty much like myself at this point, trying to still limit myself to stay safe but everyday life seems pretty normal. Incisions are healing okay, still not perfect but I haven't been doing any scar treatment yet. Waiting to see my PS to tell my I'm fully healed. Seems like I am but theres a couple spots that I wasn't sure about since I spit a stitch. I'll be using Biocorneum & silicone tape once I do start, probably later this week after I see my PS tomorrow.
Left still seems to be dropped a little better than my right but it's catching up. They're getting softer and more jiggly as each day passes. Hubby was amazed that they've made such a drastic change. Since all the swelling seems to be gone they seem smaller to me:/ I'm still a 36DD but I guess on my body type they seem smaller? Hubby thinks I'm crazy, they're way bigger than what I started off with and he's right but I guess I wanted to seem like more of a difference when I have clothes on. Still happy with the outcome and happy that I don't have any major complications yet and hopefully I won't. Areola incisions seem to be healing better than the vertical ones. Both nipples and parts of the left breast are still numb:/ Hope feeling returns soon if at all. I also notice my left nipple is hard ALL the time and my right only gets hard if its stimulated or if its cold:/ Anyone else with that issue?

You look great Hun! They're rounding out really nicely! I totally get what you mean about being kinda bummed about not looking bigger in clothes. I was/ am feeling the same way. But I guess we have to look on the positive side! At least when our clothes come off its still all us and not just a huge padded bra! Lol maybe as they drop a little more they'll project more? Hope so! I also tried on a couple padded bras over the weekend at Macy's and it was a no go! Lol either they were too small and the padding was off or they just aren't gonna look good anymore.

Thanks doll! Yeah that's exactly how I try to be optimistic about it, it's all me and not padding. When I do finally get to start wearing real bras again I'm sure they'll look even better. So far the ones that I've tried on have all been zero padding and they still look pushed up and big. The drop & fluff is definitely real just hope they stay this size & don't drop much more lol

Beautiful cleavage ! And scars look fantastic. Very happy for you !!!!!! XXXX

Thank you! I hope the scars fade ever more after scar treatment, you're looking gorgeous as well!

Gorgeous boobies! You're healing nicely! Looking forward to more updates :)
April 11, 2016
Thanks love. Healing is better and better everyday, I'll try to keep an update going at least once every week or two.

Yes it can be hard to constantly find the time for updates but its do helpful for all the ladies on here as well as for your emotional healing during this journey. Getting new boobies is an emotional roller coster...that's my experience so I turn to this community for support, it's fantastic!

I have the same issue. My right nipple stays hard and my left nipple only gets hard when stimulated and does not get as hard as my right. My left nipple is still also a little numb on some spots. As to compared to my right it has a whole lot more feeling than my left. I will be 4 weeks in two days. You look great BTW!
April 11, 2016
Thanks so do you! I hope both our feeling returns and this nipple issue improves lol My hubby is the one that actually noticed it, he seen the one was hard thru my shirt and was like what's up am I turning only one of your boobs on right now? Lol

Just updating, Had a couple spit stitches and my scar below left areola seems to be separating a bit.. It's healing over but I haven't started any scar treatment yet. I want to wait till everything is fully healed. Anyone further along have this happen and their scars are healing just fine now? I seen a nurse at my 2 post op because my PS wasn't there. So I havent seen him personally since 1 week post op. The nurse didn't seem concerned about how I'm healing but I guess I'm overanalyzing because I see horror stories on here. I know its not infected or anything but I don't want to end up with nasty scars.
I see my PS next tuesday, the 12th. So hopefully he'll think everything is fine and I'll get his opinion about starting scar treatment then.
Anyway, I think I'm dropping nicely although my left is dropping a little faster. Areola incisions seem fine and I'm hoping I don't get any more spitting stitches. Unfortunately I heard it can happen months after surgery. Tried on the polka dot bra 36DD I posted here previously and I don't like how it fits. Wondering if push ups just won't look good on me anymore. All the other 36DD I purchased still fits fine but those are all not padded. Still not wearing regular underwire bras anyway just tried them on quickly. Hoping my PS will say I can start wearing underwire bras soon cause I just feel they provide more support, I have a few underwire sports bras I got from VS that I'm dying to start wearing as they look really supportive. I don't have an anchor incision, just the vertical lollipop incision so I doubt an underwire will irritate me as I don't have an incision it would rub on.
I'm still sleeping on my back/ side ( at least trying to) but I somehow always wake up on my tummy no matter how hard I try not to. It isn't painful but its not comfortable either and I doubt its good for my implants or healing to do so. I'm a tummy sleeper so this has been really difficult. I heard its not good to sleep on your tummy since it pushes your boobs down and causes sagging, maybe thats another contribution to be previously saggy boobies lol
Both nipples are still numb and some parts of both breasts as well, but the left seems more numb. I hope I get feeling back as most of you seem to have it back by now:/ Still wake up a little tight in the morning but no real pain to complain about.
Happy Healing Ladies :)
