I am almost 1 month post and happy to report I am content and loving my new self. I do still feel they could be bigger, but oh well- I'm just happy to have boobs! I'm measuring a 36D but not convinced they are D's. They look like C's to me. Sleeping on my side isn't 100% what it used to be, but is getting better. I'm trying hard to lose weight (30 lbs). The 30 lbs I need to lose, is the weight I gained AFTER losing baby weight & breastfeeding. I have a mirena IUD and sorta think its messed with my hormones. If anybody has any good tips on weight loss, please share : )

You look good, glad everything is going well. I know I'll probably be like you and say I wish I had gone bigger, but I'll be glad just to have more than I currently have. About losing weight, just eat small healthy meals throughout the day. When working out make site you do your weight/resistance training and cardio. Put those 3 together and you'll see weight dropping off of you. Good luck!

I'm glad things are going so well for you. I think your size is great. Believe it or not, they will likely look a bit bigger as the fluffing continues. It seems they get smaller looking when the swelling is finally gone, then bigger again as they fluff. As far as losing weight, I put on 20lbs between quitting smoking and not being able to work out. I hate it!! But, evidently not enough to get off my a** and hit the treadmill. Small, low cal, frequent meals are the key, but hard for me to do. I'm a southern gal and my redneck hubby likes his pork chops, bacon, etc. Oh well, at least my waist "looks" a little smaller with bigger boobs, haha.

-2 weeks post op.
Last time I posted I was very upset, but things are looking up and the swelling in the right breast is much better. My next appointment is on Friday, so hopefully doc agrees that things look better. But, boob greed has now set in HARD. I feel like I may not have been completely honest with myself about what I wanted. I feel like they are still somewhat small even though I know 430/460 cc's on top of the little I already had- is a lot. My husband thinks they look proportionate and if I had gone bigger, i'd be crossing into the "[RS bleep]" or super fake look. They seem bigger in pictures then they actually are. I am crazy or do other people feel that way too?

Other than boob greed- that morning boob is some seriousness. Its like I wake up with two parked cars on my chest. Its fine once I get going but that initial foot out of bed is like whoa. Also, excited because its my husband's birthday this weekend and we are going to dinner/drinks with friends. I'm going to need a real bra because I don't think a dress exists that compliments my sports bras- So I'm excited to go out and get measured. I'm assuming I'll be a 36c, but we'll see. Hope everyone is well. xo

So glad you're feeling better and yes, boob greed is very normal. Depending on what I wear I get it and I got 500cc's. I think I'm just anxious for the end result.

Boob greed is completely normal. Most of us look at pictures of our boobie friends and wish we looked like them. Give it some time, and you'll be fine. The fluff & drop is serious business and you will see big changes in the shape and size as you continue to heal. Two weeks is still very early in the process, I promise. I think you look fabulous already, but you will be va-va-voom gorgeous in a few months.

They look amazing! Don't get greedy. LOL I know it's hard not to, but I am just thankful for an improvement. Why are we so hard on ourselves? Take care!

Last Halloween night, I started to feel a squeezing feeling in my right breast. I attributed this to it being the breast that got an extra 30 cc's to correct asymmetry. The next day, the right side of my palm started to tingle or feel slightly numb. Still, I REALLY wanted to get back to normal life and tried to ignore it. Until, of course, Friday at 4:45. Luckily my doctor was in the office and arranged to meet me at his office the next morning (saturday). I met him at 9am and he confirmed all my research- I have extra blood in the tissues, a small hematoma. He does believe it is a small amount of blood and because of this, it should be reabsorbed by the body. But WTF! This happens to less than 5% of BA's. Why is this happening? He advised to avoid using my right hand and to either ice or use heat (whichever I find more comforting).

Needless to say I am very upset. I've gone from loving my new additions to feeling really down. If the blood is not reabsorbed, I will have to go under again to have it cleaned out. Recovery again does not sound like anything I want to do. Worst of all, I am scheduled to go back to work tomorrow, where I have to use my right hand! (desk job).Should stay home and rest longer? If anyone has any experience with this, I would greatly appreciate it.

Ps. I know what you mean about crying after the augment from the pain. I called the day off when I got home asking if I could loosen the boob strap!

I'm very sorry to hear you recent news. Does your doctor mean no using the right hand at all? If you feel you need to go back to work I would consider taking an ice pack and a heating pad with me. Maybe you can sneak away to use them. For me it would be easy with the way our cubicles are set up.

Thank you for the comment. Bringing ice or heat with me is a good idea. I work in a small interior design office but I could probably sneak away at some point.

Hey MelyMel!! So sorry to hear bout the hematoma!! I really hope your body takes care of it on it's own!!! Good Luck!!

Hi Jenna- I hope it goes away on its own too. Thank you for your positive thoughts.
