Soooo I've been avoiding pictures because I was struggling with boob greed the past few weeks and my left boob has been stubborn so it was starting to look uneven and it was extremely frustrating.
I'm almost out of Biocorneum for my scars. Anyone have any other recommendation for their scars or should I buy another tiny ass bottle? Lol
Anywho! I wore my wireless VS bra yesterday just to see how it'd fit and it really filled it up nicely. Sad part is the bra is only a 34A. But I guess that means I'll fill a 32B nicely too. My boobs still have a ton of softening up to do, so being braless is my favorite. That or those lightly padded sports bra/half tanks. Anyway, I guess I don't realize how big they look in real life. I took a bunch of photos in different outfits yesterday and I think when they soften and I am able to "push" something up or have them move around more like normal boobs, they'll look really great in clothing. After all, I did technically just want to be able to fill my clothes.. Which I am definitely able to do now. But still.. Should've started in the 300cc rage. If I could go back, I would want to start at 330cc+. Should've done the rice sizers and walked around for a day or two in them and stuff.
A/AA ladies, do not be afraid of C cups lol. They really are not as big as you think. What I thought a B was, was really what a C is. But how am I supposed to know when I started with nothing?!
Anywho, I'm still hoping that when they settle and soften, they'll be able to fill a small C bra.. LOL. *wishful thinking*

Fighting boob greed..
If you're in a 'maybe' position about a size, and debating if you should go bigger, just go bigger lol.
Even though one is 275 and the other is 310, I wish I had started in the 300cc range. Not that it'd make that big of a difference and I know I can use bras to make myself look bigger when I want to, but after having surgery, I seriously never wear bras. Lightly padded sports bras/support bras for the healing process make me look a lot bigger so that's nice.
Maybe I was self-conscious about other people finding out? Like other family members and friends that aren't that close to me.. But hey! I paid for them, so might as well haha.
I wish the healing process would hurry up so I can workout again. I still get morning boob in the morning, they feel stiff, and then getting up first thing in the morning kind of hurts. Then it relaxes and softens up a bit, then I feel better.
As with most people, my left is dropping and softening up faster than my right side. So now it looks bigger than my right side. I just hope it catches up and ends up looking even.
Also I have a cyst in my left boob and during the consultation, we discussed the removal of it. And stupid me, I forgot to double-check and reconfirm and all that crap, so now I still have it. I felt it the other day and ughhhh so frustrating!! I called the office like 3 times to ask them to confirm if he had or not (prior to me feeling it myself) and they had to ask around and look it up and ask different nurses and no one got back to me. Communication after surgery is definitely not as good. So.. That's disappointing.
Also my hair is super long and thick so showering has been quite the task. It gets a little easier every time though.
Anyway.. Woohoo to progress. I just try not to think about it too much now so that it'll make recovery feel like it's going by faster.

Omg yes! I hate the damn boob greed! I still have the worst boob greed! I wish I went bigger and maybe now I wish I went with moderate plus or even high profile! Like you I wanted the most natural look as possible, especially so family wouldn't notice! But now I'm disappointed they disappear in clothes and look like before when I wore padded bras everyday!
But I'm sure it's too early for us to really judge our new boobs yet, we must be patient and we will be so much happier when they drop and fluff!! I'm sure during month 3 we will notice changes and love them so much more!!!
June 16, 2015
We are completely in the same situation!! I hate seeing them disappear in clothes :( Or look the size of when I wore a padded bra. I didn't get a boob job to wear padded bras all the time in the future! LOL. I'm going to keep checking your changes like crazy. I still think you're going to fluff and drop like crazy!
June 14, 2015
I'm in the exact same position. I wanted them as natural as possible so no one would notice, but now I feel slightly disappointed and would've loved to go a bit bigger! I can "dress them up" if I wear push-up bras, but without them they look like before when I wore padded bras *sigh*. But yeah, if I could go back in time, I would definitely choose in the 320 range. I'm hoping they will "fluff" though! Fingers crossed for both of us!
June 16, 2015
Ah yeah exactly!! I feel like how I look before when I wore padded bras. But when I wear anything even slightly loose, I feel like my boobs disappear!!!! :( So sad. If I could go back in time I would do the same! Yes yes fingers crossed like crazy!!!
June 16, 2015
Yours look so natural already!
What is your bwd?

Hi! Thank you! I have no idea, actually, but I'm a 32 width band in bras if that helps!
June 25, 2015
Im right there with yall :( i got 339's and they are super small!!!!! I was so paranoid about them being too big that i never thought "what if they are to small" ... Im not so sure what to think about this whole drop and fluff deal... Im 5 wks post op today and they have gotten smaller by the day! And most dr's say the "drop and fluff" phenomenon isnt true?!? Grrrrr :(

Update: Incisions are 3in long :(
My implants won't be big enough in the future to fold over and hide them, so my only hope now is that they diminish over time. Sad days.. Let's hope they shrink or something? Sigh..
Well here are some updated photos. I love the shape and stuff though!

They look awesome - perfect shape and symmetry! I wouldn't worry about the scars too much; I have seen so many people on here that diminish their scars with scar cream, etc. I bet they'll be just fine!

Don't worry about the scars. I have had a 12 inch scar across my chest since I was 14. It was supposed to be mostly hidden in my inframamry folds, but my breasts never got big enough to cover any of it. Half of it healed really well, the other half was bumpy, so I had the bumpy part of the scar revised when I was 16. It is now a tiny white line that is hardly noticeable when I am naked and completely covered by my bra. The revision surgery was super easy. I would bet that your scars will diminish significantly with time. But if you still hate them after giving it some time, you can always find out about having them revised.

They look great! Don't fret the scars, they are still fresh. It will take quite a while before they fade away but they will.

I really don't think C's are as big as people think! But ultimately, go with what you are comfortable with. I asked for full B/small C and feel like I got big A's LOL. :( So sad hahaha
My left boob is also very stubborn and hasn't dropped as well as my right. Still high and tight! So I've been trying to pay extra attention to it and massage it more.
I bought biocorneum as well from my doctors office. But was told to use it only nightly starting at week 6. Do you use it twice a day? And how do you feel about it? Do you think it's working?
I think we got surgery on the same day! Soooo we're not even close to the 3 month mark yet, so don't worry! (That's what I keep telling myself lol) If I don't love my boobs at the 3 month mark then I'm just going to have to pretend to love them until it's time for a revision :P Down the road if I get a revision, I am definitely going bigger!
I like it and I do think it has helped me a lot to not have super raised scars. My scars tend to get pigmented/raised if not taken care of super carefully. Also my scars suck because they're long as hell and aren't even stitched straight.. Soo disappointed about that. But I feel like the biocorneum and application of it has helped massage the scar tissue and flatten it and keep it from getting discolored. Still have a long way to go with these scars, but it seems like it's one of the best things out on the market right now. The only thing is if you don't give it enough time to dry, it will get on your clothes and since it has an oiliness to it, it stained one of my tshirts lol :( I use it twice daily.
I also still rinse my incisions with hibiclens (just using up the small bottle I bought for surgery). Don't know if that has done anything, but it's helped with peace of mind with bacteria.
