3 Months and Loving them!!!

O
OKSunshine
Alright, so I heard it before when I read other reviews but it's true...3 months happen fast and I'm finally at a point where I don't think about my breasts all the time :) I still think about them a lot have feel so much gratitude for them but they are feeling like a part of me now and I honestly thought that might never happen.

My favourite part of having nice breasts is going braless...which I do a lot!! I feel so sexy (something I never felt prior to BA...I felt beautiful, just not sexy) and love wearing bikinis. My goal over the next few months is to find a personal trainer and get the rest of my body into great shape. I want this to be the time in my life where I can look back and be like, damn that was the best shape I was ever in and I felt sooo good...like inspiration for the rest of my life!

Hmm...what were my biggest changes over the past month? I guess the biggest one is that they feel like mine. They are soft and have giggle to them and move when I move. I've gotten back into yoga again and haven't found any pose that makes them feel foreign. My moods cords have pretty much all disappeared and I've really been working on massaging away the scar tissue along my incision line.

If I could go back in time I would absolutely do this again. I'd go with the same size too! A reminder that originally I had wanted between 250-275cc's and ended up letting my surgeon decide on 325 and 350 cc's. I wouldn't want it any other way! I'll post again at 4 months just for fun :)

Two Months Post Op

OKSunshine
So I can finally say that I'm comfortable with my new breasts!! They still have a ways to go but I think that if nothing else were to change (which I know it still will), I would be ok with the way they feel and look now. The stretching feeling has finally subsided for the most part. I can still tell my body is finding a new norm and I make sure that I stretch regularly and have started strengthening...although I'm not comfortable doing anything that involves too much chest yet. I started running last week (around week 7) and it feels sooo good. Although I still seem to tire more quickly than before. I bought a really supportive sports bra and here's no movement at all when I run. Trying to keep these babies supported well as much as possible. I have definitely used up my budget for bras and swim suits, lol. For a couple weeks (around weeks 5-7) I starting taking half a robaxacet at night and and advil mid day to help my muscles release...it really seemed to make a difference as this was when I noticed most changes. I've also been seeing a massage therapist who does myofacial release. I think this should be mandatory after any type of surgery. My breasts look amazing every time he works on me and my body loves it! I've also started using silicone strips on my scars and cannabis serum on my breast at night. I think my scars look great for 2 months and the cannabis topical cream reduces inflammation :) I feel like my right is still noticeable bigger and higher than my left (it had the 25cc's extra to even out my breast size. I assume this will continue to improve as things drop and fluff further. I also notice that from the side, both breast seem a little flat by the nipple. I hope this too will continue to change. I talked to a girlfriend last night who had her done 15 years ago and she said hers continued to change big time for a good 6-8 months. Happy to hear I'm not the only one who's taking their time to heal!! I'm still pretty happy with size. It's taken almost the entire two months to talk myself into accepting the size since it was bigger than I ever would have chosen to go on my own. I love that I don't have to wear padded bras for them to look good in clothes. No one from my family (that I didn't tell) has mentioned anything...they probably just think I'm wearing a great bra, haha. I think my surgeon picked a great size and I'm sure I'll continue to get used to the size. I think thats all for now. I'll post again at 3 months..if you have any questions, just ask :)

Hi! I'm going in next week to get my BA.

I'm getting more and more nervous. I have appreciated how you documented your experience and it appears you typically have a holistic approach to your lifestyle? I personally do and my biggest fears right now include regretting the size I have chosen and emotionally handling the physical changes.

I'm 5'59 - 130lbs - and athletic... HOWEVER, I have chosen a slightly larger size than I thought I would. My surgeon recommended the larger size for me as well. I'm concerned about healing though. I have plenty of girlfriends who have had a BA and they said it was extremely painful during the recovery process? It seems to me you didn't experience too much pain? Was your under the muscle? Silicon and under the muscle was recommended to me. Also, where did you get cannabis topical cream? I am sensitive to scaring as I currently have a hypertonic keloid scar on my chest which my plastic surgeon is going to "attempt" to remove. I would love to minimize my post op scarring.

Thank you again for sharing your journey - very much appreciated!

Healthy healing! xxoo

I'm so excited for you!! Yes, I believe in a more holistic approach to life :) I have had a lot of ups and down with the size I ended up with and am now in love with what I have. I think I would have been in love with them if I had gone with 300/325 cc's as well since it's not really that much different. I am VERY happy that I didn't go any bigger. This may change as things settle more.

I had minimal pain. I was really uncomfortable..the sensations were more discomfort, stretching and muscle aches as my body got used to things. Even my incisions were uncomfortable rather than painful.

I too scar noticeably. The green ointment and silicone strips have been a god send! As has the myofacial release which has prevented scar tissue and keloids from forming. I made my own cannabis topical...well sort of. I have a friend who make cannabis oil which I mixed with my green ointment ;)

I did silicone moderate profiles under the muscle. I was really nervous about healing and rippling with this size given I'm sooo petite but everything looks amazing...in my opinion, haha. And that's really all that matters right!?

Good luck. You will be happy with whatever size you choose...just allow yourself the time to adjust and heal. Know that there will be ups and downs and that this is normal!

How did you choose your surgeon? I'm in the same area and trying to decide on a local surgeon or heading out to Vancouver... Thanks!

I have few friends who have seen him and heard he's the go to guy in our area. He's the one other ps's refer to if they have difficult cases and he's been doing it for a long time. When I met him, he was so confident that I didn't have any hesitations. I'd definitely recommend going for a consult if you're considering it. I thought about going to someone in Van but the wait list was really long and, now I'm super happy I stayed close to home. I don't think I would have done well with the drive home after, even if I spent a few days down there. Was really nice to be close to home. Good luck finding your ps!
