Here is my one month photo updates!!
Not a whole lot to post on, just really starting to get used to these new additions :)
For the most part "Morning boob" is gone, not waking up in pain anymore.
I did make an appearance at the surgeons freaking out at about 3 wks 6 days post. I could feel hardening behind my nipple area and under in my breast tissue. Of course I panicked and self diagnosed myself with the help of the Internet... Bad, bad idea! Don't do IT, call your Dr. and just breathe. Of course they had me come right in and told me it was scar tissue forming and it was time for more aggressive massage especially in those areas. I was told this was Very normal/common, all part of the healing process for some. I am also experiencing Very sensitive/DRY nipples. Ok, YES, super happy they have sensation but the dryness is sore. BOOBIE BUTTER it is!! www.edenknowsimplants.com
What else..... OH YES, since my Birthday is in 2 days, my adorable husband took me out Saturday. Just for giggles I sauntered into VS and browsed through the wireless bras. I however dI'd let the nice girl on the floor size me very well knowing this may easily change in the next month or 2. I also kinda wanted a size at one month to compare to 2 months, 3, 4, you know what I mean ;)
The girl said I measured at 36DDD.... I called BS.
I fit more it a 36D. Also tried on a 34DD which was to small... so weird but SO interesting! Anyway, can not wait for the day when I know my New Boob Size!!

Your scars look great! That's a great bra, too! What brand/style is it??
Oh and VS is notorious for horrible bra fitting! Use a soft measuring tape to measure the ribcage (snugly) under the breast, then measure the fullest part of your breast. Sophisticatedpair.com has the best bra calculator. I'm a 30H, and have been holding steady at that since week 2! I'll never be buying bras from VS again. ;-)
LoL, I went in for Giggles. I worked for Olga /Warner and have always been fortunate enough to be able to fit myself and friends, just SO much funner now!! However I Do love the bra just not going to be convinced of my size until another month or so.
Wow your nipple are looking heeled up already. That is awesome. Your looking great
Thank You! Yes, They healed AMAZINGLY!!!
Hi!! I've been following your story and would like to know how your feeling work wise? I'm a hair stylist, going in for surgery in September. I have 14 days off and then will lightly book myself once I go back. Was your 12 days off enough or do you feel like you should have taken more time? ... Also, I love your humour;)
So that's a Great question, I was NOT one of those Super Human Women on here that felt Amazing at 5 days... Not even a Little. I was Mostly feeling "out of shape". Every thing I did wiped me out and made me exhausted! I luckily own my own business so I started booking color clients 2 a day with a few hours in between. After day 5 of doing that and 10 colors later I was BEAT. That was at 2 weeks post. I just eased back into it as Slow as I possible could and it worked. My advice is, if you have to start back around 2 weeks spread them as thin as possible. That's a lot of upper body usage after just having surgery. I saved my muscle relaxers after day 6 or so and held on to them for when I knew I would be working :)
So glad you are reading my Story, 2 month post update next week!!

I know exactly what you mean! I also have 510cc and they look extremely small on me... I do think they look great! Do they feel heavy?
They don't feel heavy however I am not walking as tall, my shoulders are slouching a bit since the BA. I do this subconsciously because the skin is so tight and it pulls on my muscles... So I'm definitely working on Good posture :)

16 days post
Just over 2 Weeks
So here I am, 2 weeks 2 days post 500cc. I decided to take off the tape that was over my incisions. I have been dying to so I could start my scar salve but also wanted it to stay as long as it needed to keep these babies together! So I'm feeling Great, right is higher and looking smaller. I believe once it settles a little the fullness will catch up. I am super careful with any activity and movement.. I am not looking to mess things up so I ask a lot from my kiddos and they are an Amazing help! My right side is hurting a bit now just under the breast near my armpit. I do however recall a lot of discomfort on my left side last week so I am not freaking out.
I am continuing my morning massage in the shower for 10 minutes then again at night before bed with my Eden Boobie Butter. Amazing Stuff! I do believe this butter has aided in the lack of stretch marks as well. So far so good. So the pics are of my incisions right after tape removal and before ANY kind of scar treatment, I am happy with how they look :)
I have started back to work as of day 12. I am a Hair designer and just spreading my clients out and planning for plenty of time. I rarely need ANY medication but have taken a muscle relaxer on the two first days back to work.
I recently posted about some foods I was concentrating on eatting and trying to drop the belly bulge. Well I feel Much better and my energy level has jumped! My stomach is flattening out and I am feeling better in my cloths. Warm lemon water as soon as I wake up, Almonds all day, Greek yogurt with flax seed, bananas and organic apple juice.
So I do not have boob greed but honestly want you to know that I DID expect them to be larger for 500cc. I can easily hide any change in cloths but feel like they look Big naked... sooooo... just an fyi.
Anyway, I will continue to update in 2 weeks then every month unless I get SO excited about something or have News that just CAN'T wait!! LOL
ZERO Regrets and can't wait to feel 100%
HAPPY HEALING BEAUTIFUL FOLLOWERS!!

I'm not noticing any bigger looking boob size in my clothes, but as you had mentioned... they look bigger when I'm naked. I did want them to be noticeable WITH clothes on. sigghhh....
We are Both still in the very early stage and I know as soon as I can buy a Sexy underwire bra things will look different. It's just hard to imagine while being patient.. I have wanted these for SO long! Congratulations by the way!
Your incisions look amazing!!! I still have the tape on mine and even last night had a dream about snipping off endless streams of tape and still couldn't get it off! Lol
Everything looks great! Don't judge the size yet, as we still have a ways to go! Once they get more squishy and moveable, I think the changes will be awesome!
Best boobie wishes!
You are right. It's just So Exciting to have them and I'm ready to be healed.... lol
I'm a hair dresser as well! I went back to work at 14 days and my clients have been waiting on me so there's no spacing them out. I am super sore! I've been taking my muscle relaxer at night but nothing during the day. The last couple of days have done me in, luckily I only work 2 days at a time them off 1! You are looking GREAT!
I checked out your profile and we have the same BOOBDAY!!! Congratulations, you look Amazing, I can't wait to see your progress!
Yes, So I have been planning my clients accordingly around this procedure since my first consult in August! LoL
I knew when I wanted it so I just eased them all around it while pre booking. I definitely find I need a muscle relaxer on fuller days but other than that a Tylenol or ibuprofen at night keeps me comfortable. Keep me updated!!!

I posted a few new pics tonight. I'm not in any major kind of pain, just tender and sore especially on days like today! I normally work Tuesday's, Wednesday's and Friday's and Saturdays so I get a break in between, although I have my 10 month old and 2 year old on those days lol! Oh well, it is what it is! I'll keep checking your updates! Congratulations! :D
Your boobs look fab.x.
