Feeling great overall. Incisions look and feel very lumpy. Trying to massage the lumps away but really not sure if it's working.
Finally tried on some bras, bralettes and bathing suits. Soooo happy with my new look....even tho they are sitting quite high I am loving my fullness:)

They look great! I am the same stats as u and also got 350 unders. Mine feel small to me but yours look perfect. Are u happy with the size now? I am strongly considering a revision to 475 or 500... I am amazed at the vast differences of post op care surgeons give. Mine said absolutely no massaging and I had to wear the surgical bra day and night for 8 weeks!

Hey thx for your comment. I'm happy with the size... I find I can be showy if I want to or be modest ... the right bra can always help you to flaunt if that's what you want. Sure another 100cc wouldn't have been too much to handle but it's really tough to know that. I'm just happy I didn't go any smaller. I'm thrilled with the fact that I have side boob... which wouldn't have been the case if I'd gone with the 300-325cc, as the width of the 350cc is more.
Yes so weird that drs give such different post op care instructions. Concerning really ! But I just assume that there's something I'm not aware of.
Have you inquired about a revision? Is the cost about the same... or much less?
How did you decide to go with the 350cc?

Hi there! Was wondering how are you doing? I am booked with Dr lista and having some anxiety re size. We have similar stats and I think you have great results. Wondering if you are happy with your size etc? Any updates would be greatly appreciated:)

Just a short update. Made it through the recovery pretty smoothly. Feeling great and so thrilled with the size. Most challenging part for me has been sleeping (first few days), back pain primarily due to being on back all night and the mandatory band that I have to wear across my chest. I know how necessary it is so I will persevere :). But honestly the recovery overall has been very doable! Lol. Have my one week PO check up tomorrow and will be driving for first time. Hopefully I'll be cleared for more activity :)

Thank you:)I'm still very happy with my decision to have a BA and I'm thrilled to see other women with happy results too! I'm glad you are healing well, you will have ups and downs along the way which is totally normal. I remember getting emotional on occasion but overall the entire process is totally worth it! You'll be back to regular activities in no time!

Well I had surgery yesterday !! All went well. Went with 350cc under the muscle, armpit incision. Feeling tender today but havent needed to taken more Percocet . I had one at the clinic yesterday around 2pm and started the Celebrex this morning. I do feel achy and the incision is more tender than yesterday but manageable. They sent me hom with a pain pump that infuses mardicaine ( something along those line lol) also but that was taken off at my follow up appointment today as well as the drains removed. I am swollen,my left more than the right. I have a band on across my chest as expected but they had given me a small that was quite restricting... so they changed that today also. Much more comfortable. They said the tight one may have cause more swelling?
Anyway living the size so far! I thought they were a little big at first but become more accustomed to looking at myself and they seem to really fit nicely on my body. And even if they go down a bit as I expect they will I wouldn't mind. I'll reserve judgement for a while though ;)
My back is pretty sore. Wonder how you ladies positioned yourself to avoid this? Any feedback is appreciated. Also no bra for a month! What did you guys do? My surgeon does like nipple adhesives so restricted from those. Nurse recommend just wearing a tight tank. Not even a comfy braletteus acceptable. Nothing to potentially lift the breast. Thankful for any feedback you may have :) :) :)

hey, looking fabulous already! I had my BA almost a year ago with the same surgeon :) I wore a tank top with the band over that, Then just the tank for the rest of the month. I wore cardigans, scarves and anything to sort of cover up a bit until getting the clearance to wear a bra:) I also found the back and neck pain more uncomfortable than anything else.. I used a heating pad and did some gentle shoulder rolls whenever I could.. Try to move around and take some walks around the house to get your circulation going. i basically had a huge pile of pillows for the first week to try to be comfortable, Good luck!!

Thanks so much for the compliment! I'm feeling great and only wish I'd done it sooner! Thx fir the udea of putting the band over the tank! Great idea!

Hey! I started noticing them soften after a couple days of massage then they continued to get softer and more squishy as the swelling went away. Try to follow the post op instructions as much as you can! The healing is all about being patient, once they settle you'll be so happy!!

Did you have armpit incision? They have me massaging and working out the scar tissue lumps under there. They are quite large and unsitely. Were you able to work them all out? (Assuming you had that incision)
