I'm a little disappointed that you can't even tell that I had a BA...well at least with clothing on. Naked I could tell the difference. I've always been flat chested and so insecure about it. I used to buy any extra option possible to make it look like I had boobs, when buying bras when I was a size 36A, and sometimes a 36AA depending on the style or brand. I would buy super thick padded push up bras that would say the word "MIRACLE" or something of that sort! Hmmmm? I keep second guessing if I should have gone bigger, but I am now 2 weeks post op, and they still haven't fallen or fluffed into place yet. I know I have to be patient. I think also because I'm on the heavy side, it isn't so noticeable, I am working damn hard on this now that I have a little more confidence in myself... Uggg... I wanted something that was super noticeable. Is anyone still getting that weird "electric surge" every so often? I'm getting it mostly just on my left boob.... and my nipples are extremely sensitive. Anyone else feeling down about their size? Or feeling like me? Oh WOW! I forgot to mention, I have been rotating my night time bra supports, and they are fine, but I was using them during the day at first... but I needed to get something other than using those support bras... I took a trip to Victoria's Secret... and some of you may already know this, but I've always purchased my bras at either Walmart, Target, or Kohls, whichever place had coupons, or sales... I was told NOT to buy any bras just yet because everything needs to settle, drop, and fluff, but after finding out the return policy at Victoria's Secret, I ended up buying 2 bras to wear during the day. They also made sure that I didn't choose anything with underwire... they knew what kind of bra I would be comfortable with... well that's a given because that's their specialty, and they see so many women come with that had BA surgery. Their return policy is as long as you have the paper receipt, you could use, wash, or do whatever you want with the bra, and you have a no hassle 90 day return policy... but like I said... ONLY WITH THE RECEIPT!, no receipt no full refund or exchange! I had to ask every employee as I was shopping, and I even asked the manager! I was amazed... so I ended up getting fitted, and I used to be a 36A/36AA and now fitting in a 36DD, no underwire and hardly any padding, I needed a little bit of padding for my nipples, they are huge? But it doesn't look like I'm a DD in my clothes. Maybe because of the MIRACLE padding and push up bras I used to use, made me look like I had bigger boobs? LOL... I just wanted to add this note... because for me that was a score at Victoria's secret! and it felt so good, to shop for a bigger bra size. I feel more comfortable during the day in these bras, and knowing as my boobs start doing their thing... then I could get different bras, with no hassle at VS. Tell me your thoughts!

Don't get too down about the size! Once they drop and fluff you will totally feel how much lager they are. Only one of mine has dropped completely and it's funny how much larger it feels. Going from a small size to that large of an implant will cause the dropping to be slower. I got palmers for stretch marks since I knew I would have considerable stretching and want to avoid stretch marks. :) even though it sucks be patient- I'm finding that to be difficult but seeing final results takes time! Congrats on the new ladies!!! :)

I've always used palmers, because it's smells so good too. I've been massaging with palmers and coconut oil mixed together. Did you feel the drop too? I could feel them lowering, not literally, but I could feel that they are in a different spot now?

Yeah totally. They definitely are starting to settle and feel more like my own. I am just over 3 weeks post op and they are finally looking more natural. My left is definitely progressing slower but I keep reminding myself that it's normal. I love the palmers, it is even lightening old stretch marks!

Sometimes we can't see our size. You look like you did get more than 500cc's. Just need to drop which takes a couple months or more. Happy healing!

Hi just checking in to see how you are feeling with your size? I have seen so many changes in mine over the last few weeks and hope you are feeling happier with your size!!
March 14, 2016
I'm finding that my right side is smaller, and noticeable in tighter fitting shirts. I'm on the fence right now with getting a larger size

You got high profiles. Mine were just flat no projection. I did say that I wanted the highest projection. I think that would've made a huge difference in my happiness. My left side hasn't completely dropped yet either

The size difference was SUPER irritating to me- I had he same issue. My left side is still a bit higher and I'm super aware of it. It won't be as noticeable in a few weeks and as it drops so just sports bra it up and don't wear anything too tight if you are insecure about the difference. Did you go with moderate profile?

Yes... that's what it was. I drew a blank when I replied back. I'm bummed.

It may be worth it to talk to your surgeon during your next post op. Let him/her know your thoughts and talk about options. Did you show your surgeon photos of the results you wanted? If he has those in your file maybe review them with your results so he can see what you aren't satisfied with. It's easier to show than to explain.
