I am six weeks post op and have been cleared for all activity. I have been back at Crossfit for a week and have been modifying things a bit. There is no pain, but after 6 weeks, I am just out of shape. Things do feel different (push ups, overhead anything, kettle bell swings). I am going to start running again, and hope that it helps them drop just a bit more.
The doctor addressed my concern of them dropping more before I even asked. I think because mine are textured, they are dropping a little slower. I feel that my pecks are also still swollen.
I can now put scar treatment on them which will hopefully start lightening them. I know this is a long process, but it's nice to know I can start.
Last night I went to a party and wore a top braless for the FIRST time in my life!! Amazing. It was a bit uncomfortable at first but nothing a cocktail or two couldn't get out of me. Ha.

Had an appointment today. I was really nervous because from the beginning they told me they were going to be removing the stitches. I tried, and I could not see any so for a few days I have been a little anxious about the digging and picking that was going to need to happen. Turns out they only have to remove the ones that are still there; the ones that have not dissolved or flaked off by themselves. Guess what...I didn't have any.
I was told the bra I was wearing was not enough support...I think I knew that, but it's so comfortable. Back to the compression sports bras. I need to get a few that are not razor back.
I was told everything looks great. I was cleared for "any exercise that does not hurt." No high impact...running, box jumps. I do Crossfit and though I know there is lots I can probably do there, I am super competitive and I would end up pushing myself toooooo hard. So today, I joined a regular gym for $28. It's just for a month, but at least I will be doing something. Today I walked 45 minutes at an incline. Tomorrow I am going to tackle the stair machine. Who knew I was going to get a great ass out of boobs! Ha.
As far as how I am feeling...pain is pretty much gone, except I'm the morning. Morning boob is no joke. And then there are those lighting strikes where the nerves are supposedly reconnecting. That [RS bleep] SUCKS.
I am noticing that they are softening up on the bottom and almost feel more like boobies, less like rocks. The tops are still very hard. And my armpits are still swollenish. I can't wait for my razor to fit back in there.
I go back in 4 weeks!

You look amazing. Truly amazing. Your 2 weeks post op gives me hope!!

My pre-op is this Saturday. Our stats are super similar, I'm just really tall (5'9"). I have a very broad chest and trying to decide what size to go with. Yours look so great! What size were you before the surgery? I'm a 36C, but doc thinks I'm prob a big B when he removes my excess skin. I'm afraid of going too big or too small. Such a touch decision. I'm leaning towards 400.
November 7, 2016
Are you going under the muscle? If so you can def go a little bigger. I don't regret my size at all (415) but totally could have gotten away with more. With clothes on you can not tell at all. Fitted (workout) clothes you can, but only if you knew my befores. I would definitely take pictures in with you (I really tried to focus on after a who had a lift, since that was the most realistic) Don't worry about size and let the doc know your concerns. My concern for not wanting bigger was running...I reminded him of that at surgery and he went from a 450 to 415. Profile might be more important than size...another reason why you should bring in pictures. I also took in pictures of ones I didn't like...and made notes as to why. Good luck!

I should also mention that with size...you need to decide what you want. I really didn't want to go bigger. I just wanted to fill the skin I had and I wanted them perky. If bigger is what you want...then go bigger. I don't think you can go wrong. Especially if you picked a good surgeon.

I have so many pictures of boobs on my phone it's hilarious. I have both likes and don't likes too! :) Thanks for the response. I am going under. I don't want to end up more than a small D if possible, because like you, I like to run and I don't want them getting in the way. The upper pole fullness is really want I want - I want them up to my chin! ha. Pics of yours are filed under my "like" folder, so my doc will be seeing yours this week. Thanks so much for sharing your story. This website is awesome.

Well that is awfully flattering...especially since I am only two weeks out. I will say today was the first day I woke up and was like...I could live with these. The swelling is intense and very overwhelming. I still want my armpit cleavage to go down...but I guess I could get use to it. Ha! Thank you and keep us posted.
November 7, 2016
I'm excited to keep following your progress! I still have a month to go - going nuts over here. I'm scared too - I workout 4 days a week. I have no idea what I'm going to do for 2 full weeks of nothing! I work a desk job (I'm a lawyer), so I'm hoping work will get busy and keep me busy or something!
November 7, 2016
So what bras were you wearing that the doctor didn't like? I was going to call and ask about exercise today. We didn't talk about that and I'm dying to do something with myself again.
November 7, 2016
I was wearing a very cheap (like $4 Walmart) thingy. It almost looks and feels like the shelf bra within a cami. The issue was it was too big for me...so it had literally no support. I liked it because it took pressure off my incisions, but they are feeling better now so I am back to the compression sports bra.
November 7, 2016
Oh ok I was just curious. I think mine are good. I just need these things to drop a little. Patience is not my thing

I had the tape removed today! Yay. I was surprised that I don't have an incision underneath...just some markings. Yay!

you look fabulous! wow!! this is after only one week?!?! I hope I get a similar outcome. Congrats.

Yes! Surgery was last Wednesday...pics were Thursday. 8 days (technically). I am so ready to feel 100% normal. So far I am very happy with the whole process.
October 30, 2016
I think these are going to be great. They look really good already! Interested to see how they finally heal up!
So glad you're feeling so well already.
