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 : )

-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

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.
