7 weeks PO revision
WORTH IT$7,000
Haven't updated in awhile. I've been running since week 4 post op and I'm still not cleared for any other type of exercise yet. 2 more weeks before I'm cleared for the gym, swimming and cycling. I feel so fluffy and fat and all around bummed out by the rest of my body right now, but loving my revision results. They are soft, fill out clothing and compliment my frame nicely. I tried to include different front shots to show how sometimes in certain positions they look more augmented than in others. My PS said it will be another few weeks but that they are healing well. I still have some muscle distortion and will post pictures of that soon. Fingers crossed it keeps getting less noticeable :)

32G nightlift bra
I love sleeping with the nightlift bra. I have a size 32F which can become a little tight in the cup at night and a 32G which I prefer.

You look awesome!!! You look so great and your overall figure is really sexy, if you don't mind my saying so. What is a night lift bra for? I only have had a sizing at VS 32DDDor 34DD depending on bra. I think with other brands I might be a 32D or 34D. It makes me giggle.

I totally don't mind the compliment! Thank you :)
So, the night lift is a bra specifically for sleeping in. When I had my original implants put in, I had some lateral displacement of my right implant. I'm certain it's because I slept on that side without any bra or support immediately post op. Now that I've gone larger, I don't like the feeling of sleeping topless anymore. The nightlift is wireless, designed by a plastic surgeon and has these side straps that keep the implant from displacing. Also, it's comfortable.
I'd recommend getting fitted at somewhere other than VS. I'm a 34F/G but I can squeak by in a VS 3DDD. Until I had my revision, I never even knew such sizes of bras existed lol. My favorite style of bra now is one with underwire and no padding. Who would've ever thought?! Lol....

*34DDD
And the reason for getting fitted elsewhere is because every single time I got fitted (3 times in one week), they told me a different size! It was frustrating.

Thank you for explaining. Yes it feels a bit odd to sleep with my girls and I won't side sleep yet. Maybe I might look into the night bra. I still have the strap so that helps.

I ordered mine from Herroom.com
I would recommend you order rom somewhere that is easy with exchanges because the nightlift sizing is crazy weird. The cups are small and the band is huge. My recommendation is to go down a band size. 30G or 30H is where I would start off if I were you. It took me several tries to get it right, even though I'm a solid 34F/G.

Comparison picture. I'm very happy with the size and the pocket work done to my right breast.

Looking great! Hope you are feeling as good as you look! How are all your new purchases? What do you think of the night lift?

I love the night lift. The concept of it is great, and the fit is comfortable for wearing all night. I did however have some issues finding the correct size because the band runs huge and the cups run small. I have a 32H and a 32G. The 32H fits perfect. (I was professionally fitted for normal bras as a 34F, but in some styles in a 34G). The straps on one of my night lifts broke at every seam, but it was a quick fix and I happened to have black string and a needle.
I'm really glad I had the revision. I'm much happier with these results.

I'm so happy for you! I love the night lift too but my size isn't quite right. I purchased a 32D and it fits well enough but I should have got a 30 DD or DDD. I didn't realize until I wore it a few nights. still a great purchase:)

I order bra from Herroom.com because they have great customer service and will let you return things without any difficulty. I had to exchange my nightlift bra several times before getting the size right. They also have really good other bras too.

My recommendation if you're going as large as 450 is to buy several types of bras beforehand. When I had the 339's placed, it didn't bother me to go braless, but ever since my revision to 475/500, I absolutely prefer wearing a bra. The surgical bra is great for the first week or two, but after that I switched to a wireless and pad free bra for a little extra support. I lived in a bra 24/7 after the revision and believe that helped reinforce all of Dr. Knott's amazing work.
