I have been absent for a while, no specific reason, just been busy with everyday stuff. My new assets have been serving me well. They are definitely a part of me now and I sometimes forget what I looked like 2+ months ago. I really like the size and they are just right for me.
At times I still get a bit of sharp pain on the scars but I mostly just ignore it as they go away after a few seconds. The skin under my left armpit is still numb and I actually don't think it has gotten better. For some reason I ignore that too. There is nothing I can do. It's just something that comes with the BA...something I will just have to live with. The scars are still pretty red. Although they have smoothed out a lot, they are still a tad bumpy. Not sure when the redness will fade. I think my breasts have settled quite a bit. I can actually see and feel the natural slope from the shoulders down to the nipples. One thing I am always concerned about is the risk of them bottoming out. I sure hope that doesn't happen to me.
I am still wearing light sports bras and haven't bought a new bra yet. However I did try on a few sizes and I think I am definitely a full B, small C might be pushing it. Just for fun I tried on an unlined C cup bra at VS and I couldn't quite fill out the nipple area. But I think I should start looking for new bras soon since underwires will help to minimize the bottoming out bit.
Another thing to note, my husband constantly wants something now, so I think he likes them too!
Oh, so this was never an issue before but now that I have more volume, the breasts are creating a pocket between the breast and armpit...so from time to time, if I move my arm out or rub my arms against the sides, the movement makes a farting sound. Lovely. Perhaps that means I have side boobs?
Anyway, until next time!

It's been 12 days since...
...my surgery and I am loving them more and more...However, I am seeing that they aren't so symmetrical. The left implant is placed a slightly more to the left towards the armpits. It's probably about 5mm difference but it's enough to drive me crazy. I am trying to play it cool since I know there isn't much we can do now but I will bring it to my surgeon's attention in a couple of weeks. What do you guys think?
Otherwise, life has been back to normal for a while. Went back to work 2days post surgery; have been lifting and caring for my kids for over a week; vacuumed for the first time on Sunday and stopped taking my ibuprofens since Saturday. I finally saw my parents over the weekend. I thought my mom would notice my stuff but she didn't! I guess they aren't so big after all! Darn should've gone bigger! Ha, just kidding. For me, they are just the perfect size. Anything bigger, I wouldn't have bounced back so quickly.

Just be patient, they're probably dropping at different rates. And ure less than 2 weeks out. I think your results are gunna be great(:
Could be be because that one side is still swollen??
Possible but I think it's the implant poking out...I can feel them on both sides...
I agree with the other ladies...it will take time before they finish settling to judge if they are not symmetrical. And they most likely won't be perfect matches, breasts (natural or augmented) usually aren't. You are looking great!
Maybe that size is still swollen but it's actually the implant poking out...the other size pokes out too and it's 'crinklily'. Sucks.
You look great! congrats :)

How are you doing ? Hope you are feeling much more comfortable!
Thanks for checking! I have just been trying to get used to my new shape and all the pins and needles that go with it. I am starting to feel the 'sunburn' feeling around the armpit area down to the side of my left breast. I suppose the nerves are trying to come back together. It's the weirdest feeling. How are you doing??
Hey I think the size you are choosing will look great on you. Check out ittybittycomittie. She got 450cc. She's our size and I think they look gorgeous on her!!
Hi momofhm! You look hot! You've got such a tiny waist I'm jealous of your figure! Which size did you go with?
Aw that's sweet, I went with 300cc. At the beginning they looked huge on me and now I think they are just right. How are you recovering??
I'm 7 days post op and still think mine look so huge when I'm naked! Can't wait for them to drop and fluff!
