Gahhh....my whole post just got deleted. Starting over, I'm going to get straight to the point (bc I'm tired).

Basically I think this is the best BA I could have gotten. Perfect shape, size, location, easy recovery, nice feel...they look great!

Downsides:
1. Scars are more noticeable than I had hoped but they do not show in swim suit and are only noticeable to myself and my boyfriend. I also have been OK about applying scar gel, in the beginning it was twice daily and then I got lazy and have been lucky to do it 5x per week at once daily.
2. Cover up when lifting at the gym- when flexing any bit of my chest they become very seperated- I'm likely the only one who notices this but it prompts me to pull my shirt up or wear higher necklines at the gym.
3. Sensation has still not come back fully. I am about 20% nipple sensation and surrounding area- I'm very petite and had little body fat when surgery was done so it may take longer for me but I'm hoping it continues to improve.

That's all I got for now. Side-note: it has been hard to get back on the workout wagon after surgery...not because of anything except that I got lazy. Plus, with bigger boobs you don't notice the extra couple pounds as easily ????

You look awesome!!! I feel like I have the same gripes with mine. Being quite thin but also athletic sometimes has it's downfalls as we have very little fat to cover things, regardless you look fantastic. Like me, you have learned to just cover up the top of your chest when you work out. As a surfer I had to invest in a lot of high necked bathing suits to help cover the muscle animation. There are times I wonder why mine is so pronounced when I see thin, fitness models with breast implants working out and they never seem to have an issue. Oh well, as long as you like your new breasts then that is all that matters. As women we can't be comparing ourselves to others, all of our bodies are different- enjoy your own uniquely beautiful body!!!

Ups & Downs & Coming Up

boop9988
I haven't posted in awhile due to the ups and downs. Mostly downs over the last couple weeks. The whole "why did I do this to myself", "I don't feel comfortable", "they are too big people will notice" etc. Some really low lows and other times just try to forget about it. When they say depression post-op is possible, it's very very real and I'm glad I was aware of it beforehand. Finally, after my 3 week post-op appointment, I'm feeling better and loving them again. They're getting softer each week. I can't say that they feel like a part of me completely yet, but I'm starting to get used to them. I have started a little massage, I think sensation is starting to try and come back (still numb but weird pins and needles sensation), I am able to reach and bend and do anything that doesn't require a lot of chest muscle use. Thankful I took pics so I can see how far they've come :)

I went through so much of the same stuff (emotions, occasional regrets, uncomfortable with my body) and I can say that it all got so much better with time. My breast continued to soften and relax for over a year and I now am much more comfortable with my body. It is just so new and like any other big life changes it will take some getting used to. You look great :)

I'm just over a year post op. I went through some of the same feelings....especially the why did I do this?? After 3 months I felt a lot better. Still had ups and downs because I work out 5 days a week, i like to run, paddle board, jump rope...really anything active. I couldn't do any thing at my normal rate for 6 months. I babied my boobs because I didn't want to risk injury. I can honestly say it gets better. I LOVE mine. I went smaller than you because 234 cc style 15 was the biggest my frame could handle. My BWD is 10.9 so I didn't have a lot of options because I didn't want to go High Profile. They feel like I was born with them....yours will too. Give them time. Sending you good vibes on your healing journey. :)

Thank you! I am already starting to feel better. Almost 3 months post-op. I totally ruined the workout routine I was on before surgery because I too am babying myself. But hope to get active again soon!
