I haven't been on because life moved on. I will say that I'm still so very happy with my decision and my results. I have had some issues with the incision sites around my nipples. There have been pores that I can express pimple-like substances from. My PS insists that I'm spitting sutures but I think it's something else. I may have the incisions revised but I'm not sure.

I swear that the majority of my swelling disappeared over the last 10-12 days! The girls have settled nicely. I still have the rippling from the internal sutures on the lateral sides. As the swelling has gone down, it is more pronounced but I'm going to wait it out as my surgeon says to. He says it will resolve & he has not had to revise this issue in the past (Please don't let me have to be the first!). So far I'm so much happier with my smaller size. They are natural & soft & im increasingly pleased with the shape. It appears I am horrible with selfies even if my body. I wish I could actually capture what I'm looking at. I seriously don't understand how anyone takes their pictures. I must have the worst set of T-Rex arms ever.

"Worst set of T-Rex arms ever" - rotflmfaooooo!!
I've been thinking about you, so I'm happy to see a post! I think the majority of us are slowly getting back into normal routines and haven't been on this site as much as we used to be, so I'm kind of missing my girls!!
You look great and I see NO rippling! Your size is perfect :-)
So happy you're doing well my long lost friend and want to wish you a Happy Holiday in case I don't speak to you again before then!! :-) xoxo

I hope you had a great holiday season and that your year is starting off well. I have thought about all of my friends on here frequently but life takes over and it's hard to just sit down and catch up!! Thank you for thinking of me. I'll be posting an update soon since I just had my 3-month followup!

Dents are almost invisible. Thank you for asking! I will be posting a 3Month update this weekend. Maybe even today. I had a follow up this last week for the first time in 2 months.

Pretty happy about my progress. Still sore with swelling & feel best with my sports bra. The one I'm wearing in the picture (Champion) was ordered online, prior to surgery, along with a zip-front solid black Jockey brand & a Natori (not zip but super cute & lower cut). The zip fronts are the best & seem to provide more support than even my old high impact, over-the-head Nike. For sleep I like the moderate support soft Underarmour bras or the strapless wrap I left the hospital in. My doctor said I did not need to sleep on my back & never gave me a specific bra or brand to wear. Even so, I prefer to sleep on my back, propped up by soft pillows. I get sore on one side or the other for too long. I use soma at night to help me sleep. I didn't use it last night & I had a struggle! Anyway, with some swelling still present, I can't tell what the hell size I'm gong to be but I suspect a full C. I tried on an old DD & a D. Don't think any of them will in my future! Woohoo!! I still like my shape. Jury still out on the wrinkling/skin indentations on the side. I have to have faith for now that what my surgeon says of it self-resolving will actually be true within a few months.

You look beautiful sweetie! Boobies and all!!!! Looks like you are healing well! I have an appointment to talk about internal sutures with my dr a week before surgery! Did they say the "dent" would go away after time? I assume so! I hope that my surgeon does put the internal sutures to support my new implants!
You really do look great Hun!

Yes!! He said over the next few months, the dents would go away. He said the tissue and sutures would soften and settle naturally. He told me not to worry and that he will not need to do any revising of it. (I had called and sent pictures, sort of in a panic and asked him if we could fix it before I go back to work.) After he told me that, I felt much better and will wait and see. Thank you for the kind and complimentary words! I appreciate you!

Aww that's really good! I know it's so hard not to panic! Even at 3 months my left breast was sitting higher and I thought it would stay that way! It's down now! Lol I didn't think they would change that much after all I read but man they continue to change!! I looked back at your pre op photos too and you had lipo? It looks great!!! I hope my new boobies look just as nice :) I'd love to have lipo!!! I haven't asked how much it is, but I am curious now!! ;-)

All depends on anesthesia & surgicare. That's why I did it at the same time. Saved me about $2k I think. It is totally worth it if you just can't shake what's bugging you after working out all the time. Do it!

I worry is be left with lose/access skin afterwards on my tummy pouch from having kids! I refuse to have a tummy tuck tho it's not terrible but I have fat on my rib area and of course my back fat I would love that gone

Wow you are healing beautifully!!
November 19, 2015
Thank you! I am hoping for continued success!! You look awesome, yourself!! Yay!

Jlex, it looks like your dent on your side boob is going to heal beautifully with more time. The second pphoto you posted of your side views shows major improvement already; however, the other pic you posted of your side looks like it needs a little more time. I think you are going to have a great result. You already look beautiful, my friend. I love your boobies! I cannot wait to hear what size you are too. Please announce the news when you find out. I'm so curious. Both you and WeHaveLiftOff have me more curious than a cat. ;-) Muah xoxo

W.O.W. - you look freaking amazing!!!!
I personally think the dent looks less pronounced already, so just give it some more time and I'm sure it will go away on it's own, just like your PS said!
I bought that exact same white/grey Champion bra from Amazon, but it was too big so I had to return it - but I was sad doing it because I loved it!! lol
You should be thrilled with your progress my friend, you look HOT!!! :-) xo

Don't feel bad about the selfies. Same here. I have an ipad that has been sitting in its box for nearly 3 years. My dad buys me all kinds of stuff I don't want or need, so I store everything away. I should get it out and learn to use it. Hear they take good pictures, and when updating with pictures, I have to do it by phone and my phone takes forever....Any way, thank you for sharing your beautiful progress. You are still early in recovery and have more changes to go through, so don't worry about anything looking odd or whatnot, if it does. Your result at this point is 'knock 'em dead.' Cannot imagine your final result!. Merry Christmas, my friend! xoxo
