I feel like they grew back! ~10 week post op

I feel like my boobs grew back! I know I'm definitely only a 34b, but theyve fluffed up and seem bigger than I remember pre BA. So weird! Scars are healing fine, one is puckering a little on muscle flex so I've been trying to stretch it out to beak the adherance. I basically pull down on my skin under the scar and I can feel the resistance loosening. Anyhow, they are a healthy handful and couldn't be happier.

Got my sutures removed yesterday whoohoo! Feeling really good, I am so happy I explanted and feel they are healing nicely. Still have some deflated spots up top but I'm not going to lose sleep over it. I wish I could go back in time and tell my old self "you don't need 'em!" It was fun having then in while I did, but I think I'm really over the big boob fad...and they def added weight to my figure and made me look bigger than I was! I'm excited to clothes shop with smaller girls and have a much wider variety of clothes to wear. Yes I know I'll still occasionally come across a shirt or a dress that I won't fill out up top...who cares! You can always add temporary foobies with a padded bra or just move on to another style. Much cheaper and not nearly as risky as going under the knife.

Wow they are itchy!

A few had warned me about the incision itchiness, and they weren't kidding! I just want to go on a scratching fest but am being good. I guess its a good sign they are healing. A few things about recovery- not in any pain at all except when I make certain movements, then I feel this weird muscle zing, so trying to take it easy. I'm glad I had the surgery on a Thursday...gave me a long weekend to chill out before going back to work tomorrow. There's not too much difference right now in appearance. The bruising may be getting slightly better, but nothing worth posting pics for. I'll probably post some more at the 1 week mark.

Dr. Edelson and staff were awesome for the consult. He is a very honest doctor and didn't try to upsell me into a lift or even a capsulectomy as he was pretty sure I wouldn't need either after seeing me and discussing my concerns. During my search I was so frustrated looking at various plastic surgeons websites that would say things like "most women will be dissatisfied with the appearance of their breasts following explant and will require a lift"...such a turnoff! I'm grateful to have found a surgeon who evaluates the patient first before making such claims. My procedure is scheduled for October 1st and I'll be sure to update with 'after pics'.
