25 Days
I'm feeling more comfortable with myself but after a round of clothes shopping for my smaller size, I'm feeling really out of proportion. Posting some new pictures to show the healing process a bit. They are definitely getting smaller but they seem to be lifting along with it a bit. I wonder what they'll look like after three months? Only time will tell. :)

One Week
I had my stitches removed today which is nice. They were making the incisions feel pretty raw and were rubbing a bit. I seem to be able to move more easily now but still some discomfort reaching particularly up to my head. Ace bandaging is done with so hopefully I will stop slouching excessively like I have been. Just some sort of natural reaction I was having with it even when I took it off. Moving onto a sports bra for now until I heal up a bit more. Posting upright pictures today as I said I would. I wish one wasn't hanging lower than the other. It just needs time for now I guess. Everything healed up properly so far and unless I see something strange I am good for three months.

I think you look amazing, and I'm not just saying that. I saw your most recent picture before I saw your post (especially about the one where you were crying uncontrollably), and my first reaction when I saw the photo was, "I hope my results are that good." I really think you look fabulous, natural, plenty of breast tissue ... and you will continue to fluff and tighten up. Hugs!

Day 4 - Tears
I was allowed to shower today. It was the first time I really looked at myself straight on rather than through pictures and as soon as I took the wrap off I saw myself in the mirror. I started to cry. I cried uncontrollably for at least twenty minutes but it felt like so much longer. The rest of the night was met with periodic outbursts of tears as I glanced down at my bandaged chest. Even though I couldn't see them, I could picture them. Upright for me simply equals upset. I know it is only day four but it feels like day forty to me. I am grateful that my doctor did not pressure me into getting more work done but I also better understand why so many strongly suggest replacements, lifts, etc. over sole extraction. This is emotionally draining for me. I watch TV to pass the time and all I keep thinking (and sometimes blurting out loud) is "she has boobs". I reread reviews, comments and look at nice post surgery pictures and just wish it would happen sooner rather than later. I will post upright pictures on Monday after stitch removal no matter how I feel.

We had surgery aroun d the same time, but i unfortunately had complication on my right breast developing a hematoma so my recovery has been slower. Still on drains until monday... Went out today for the first time, but still taking it easy. Cant help to look at other women and see if they are endowed or not... I need to get over this overrated bust thing! : /

This has been the hardest part for me, seeing busty women when I go out, and fake boobs all over TV. I am already anticipating girls with big boobs walking by and catching my husband's attention. I hope that I can get over the fact that our world is obsessed with perfect.
