3 Months Post Op!
Hey RealSelf-ers!
My surgery was on March 22, 2016 so I am over 3 months post operation! Time has seriously flown, and I'm in love with my boobs! I took a trip to Hawaii last month and was able to flaunt my twins in bikinis like never before lol! I also have a trip to Vegas coming up, and I can't wait to show them off at pool parties. I've also convinced 2 of my girlfriends to get BA's too!
Every now and then I still experience little zingers around my nipples. I also don't feel comfortable sleeping on my stomach for very long. My chest wall had a gap pre-op so that gap is always going to be there, but it looks so much better now than before and a good bra does the trick to bring them together. However I've noticed a little rippling in the middle where my gap is if I'm leaning over sometimes and only if I'm not wearing a bra. Other than that, I have no real issues. They aren't entirely perfect and symmetrical, but I'm glad I got as close to my desired outcome as possible. They are a lot bouncier than before and squishy, but with the Inspiras they will never be quite as soft as my friend that has Mentor implants.
I have been officially sized at Victoria's Secret, and I am a 32DDD! I've also bought some bras off of Amazon and from TJ Maxx that range in sizes of 30DDD, 30G, and 32DD as well. It all just depends on the brand and style.

5'2" 112lbs 26yrs with no kids
485 CC Natrelle Inspira SRF Silicone under the muscle through the breast fold incision
Was a 32B/32C at VS. Now 32DDD.

It'll be exactly 1 month tomorrow!
This month has seriously flown by! I remember being so eager pre-op and thinking time was moving by so slowly, but now I've survived almost an entire 31 days in Boobieland! :) Here are some pics to give you all an idea of how I look with different things on!
I had my final post op appointment with my plastic surgeon, and I'm healing exactly as expected. I've had no complications and couldn't be happier with my results. They aren't perfectly identical - I sometimes notice my right nipple is higher than my left, because my right is slightly bigger overall. My PS said they will become less noticeable over time.
I am cleared for underwire, I can go swimming, and workout, but I should avoid doing any chest exercises for 6 months. He wants me to continue taking vitamin E daily to help with softening and to continue massages for as long as I have the implants to reduce my chances of capsular contracture. There are still times when I feel random sharp pains and tightness, but they are becoming a lot fewer than before.
I went to TJ Maxx since I'm a bargain shopper, and was able to find a couple bras that fit me! I'm a 32DD in Wacoal and 32D in Calvin Klein! I also fit into some 34D bras, but the band wasn't as snug as I prefer. I ended up getting 3 bras for under $40 including tax! :)

Before my BA, I was obsessed with this website, but now I'm only on it to do updates so I'm sorry if my replies are delayed or if I seem absent! I've just been caught up with other things, but I still hope to help someone else out on their journey and feel free to ask me questions because I'm still here. :)
It's been over 3 weeks and I am loving my new additions sooo much more! They are getting softer and are feeling part of me finally. I can squeeze them together, and the massages have been helping sooo much. I still feel tightness the most in the morning when I wake up, but it goes away a lot quicker than before. I don't feel as many random zingers of pain, but they still happen from time to time. Nipples are still super sensitive, but I'm happy I have full sensation on both sides!
I got out a measuring tape and I'm 27 inches around my rib cage, and 36.5-37 inches around my bust. I haven't officially been sized so I could be a little off, but I think that makes me a 32DD. So maybe when I go to Victoria's Secret, I'll be a 32DDD? We'll see! I want to wait until after my next appointment with my PS before I start buying real bras. That'll be on the 18th, and it'll probably be my last visit for a while. Crazy how time flies.
I started using silicone strips combined with my skin Medica scar cream, so I hope that helps but I haven't seen much change since my last update.
