Week 11: Short, with pics!
Quick update: things are dropping. Slooooowly... but dropping.
Saw my PS almost 2 weeks ago for my 2 month post op visit. He said things are looking good, but I need to wear the strap at night and do extra massages on the right side. (Extra massage: squeeze the top of the boob until I feel the implant pushing out the bottom. I'm really squeamish and it makes me a little gaggy when I do it. Ugh.) He said I'm still pretty high but that's common with Asian BA patients.
Sorry for being MIA. I miss all my booby buddies and I hope to resume all my booby stalking soon. ;-)

Week 8: Cleavage and Phone Apps
Week 8: no changes so I'm just posting a cleavage pic and showing which apps I've found to be most helpful in this booby-ful journey. :-)
Cleavage: Currently about a single finger width apart when standing. When I bend over, it forms the perfect V (no space in between). I don't know if this screams FAKE but it's what I have. I think/hope that as things soften up, my cleavage will be less of a V and more of a straight line of two boobs smashing again each other. That would be lovely. :-D
NSFW pics: I use Photo Vault to keep my photos safe. I have 2 elementary school aged boys who both use my phone and I didn't want them stumbling across my [RS bleep] pics. You can upgrade and get a "double" vault, which means one password opens up one vault and another password opens up another vault. It's great if my kids (or overly curious friend) wants to know what I'm hiding and I can use that other password to open up a vault of... I don't know -- crazy cat lady pics. Note: when you import photos into your vault, you have the option to delete the photos from your Camera Roll. If you do that, make sure you *also* delete the pictures from your Deleted Items folder. ;-)
Photo collage: I use Pic Stitch because it's free and very simplistic but there are a million and one photo collage maker apps, so choose whichever one your heart desires. Since I didn't feel the need to upgrade, I see ads. I've found the collages very useful in comparing progress from week to week.
Countdown app: I use DreamDays but I'm sure there are others out there. Once again, I see ads because I didn't upgrade. If it wasn't for this app, I wouldn't know how far along I was in recovery. It counts by days so every Friday I just divide by 7 to figure out what week I'm on. This would have been super useful when I was pregnant and someone asked how many weeks I was. "Uhhhh... I'm due in April so... I don't know. You do the math." ;-)
The only problem (if you can call it that) that I've encountered is that sometimes I'll only have time to take pics. So I'll quickly import them into my vault. Then I'll do a collage later but in order to do that, you have to export pics back to your Camera Roll to make them accessible to your collage generator. It's really not that bad once you get used to it. Just sort of feels like an extra step... but it's what I do to keep little eyes from needing therapy down the road. ;-)
Happy Healing! :-)

Week 7: Flat Armpits
Height: 5'
Weight: 120 lbs
Pre-op bra: 32AA/34AA (board flat, just nipples on ribs)
Ribcage: 29"
Implants: 400cc HP round smooth silicone Mentor Memory Gel
Incision: Crease/Inframammary
Placement: Under the muscle
Week 7, in short: same as the past few weeks.
Pain: the pain that I had last week from starting my new laying-on-the-floor "massages" went away. But then I got weird about my right side being all tight and high and started massaging the crap out of it. Aaaaaand now it's sore again. I am my own worst enemy.
Sensitivity: I don't remember if I mentioned this before but my nipple hypersensitivity is gone. So now I'm left with slightly numb nips. Still some slight numbness in the lower half of the boobs. Meh.
Mondor's cord: I was showing it to my husband one night and the next morning it was gone on the left side. And now it's 90% gone on the right. They never hurt, but there was a definite tightness in my incisions whenever I reached for something. Now that they're gone I can go back to trying to reach for things on the top shelf of the grocery store...and then resort to climbing shelves or throwing things. Haha!
Dropping: I just realized I haven't taken any nudie boob pics in a few weeks. How lame. My right is still high. Like I said, massaging the crapballs out of it. I have weird "wavy" ribs so my left will always look bigger, and pushes the implant out more, which is why i have great side boob on my left...not so much on my right. BUT that is no excuse for not dropping, Right Sister! Guhhhh. *throwing hands up in the air* Oh! Probably the biggest thing this week is that I can shave my armpits! Before, the implants were so high and that weird tendon area made that Impossible To Shave Concave Armpit. (I had to pull my armpit skin to the side to shave it to prevent my armpit hair from turning into dreadlocks.) But when I went to shave the other day -- flat armpits! Whaaaat?! I thought they'd be cavernous forever. So that was nice. :-D
Still love love LOVE my boobs. I'm on my period and ate like [RS bleep] all week so I hate the rest of my body but I'm loving my boobs! Haha!
Happy Healing to all those who just embarked on this journey! And to all my Booby Buddies, thanks for all your support and wonderful updates. :-)

Provider Review
Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
3203 Tower Oaks Blvd, Rockville, Maryland
I researched breast augmentation surgeons for a few months. Dr Tattelbaum and one other surgeon kept coming up so I booked consultations with both of them. I know they say book at least 3 doctors but I am famously indecisive so I kept my list short. I wasn't too thrilled with the other surgeon but my husband and I immediately loved Dr. T. He is is super easy to talk to and is very realistic as far as what he can achieve for your body. He has a great bedside manner and is also really funny. (My husband quotes him all the time when he talks about my boobs.) I would absolutely recommend him to anyone who is looking for a plastic surgeon.
