4 weeks post op!

Hi! So, it's been 4 weeks since my surgery! I'm lucky that everything has gone pretty smooth without any problems. I'm finally sleeping on my sides again, which is so nice, and my boobs FINALLY feel like a part of my body now. They still have some dropping and softening to do, especially, the right one, which is still a lot higher, but they are looking better and better! I'm so so happy with the size I picked and in retrospect, I couldn't believe I ever thought of going smaller haha.
The other day I went shopping for some wireless bras. It wasn't as fun as I thought, because all of the cute bras have an underwire :( Victoria Secrets had one or two wireless, but they didn't have my size (32dd). I went to Macy's and found a few by the brand Warner that were not that cute, but I figured I would just wear them for a couple months before I can move on to the underwire bras. But they, too, didn't have my 32d's, so I tried on the 34c size and it fit... It could be a little tighter around, but the cups fit and anything, at this point, is better than my sports bra!

Wow! I have the exact same type of breasts that you had before. I also work out around 6 days per week. "most of those days being a good hard workout. I'm 5'1 and weigh 121 lbs. I'm also getting 425cc high profile implants in exactly two weeks and I'm super excited but nervous; so I'm glad I found you! I tried on 375 at my consultation and was ok with those but at my pre op I wanted to try on bigger sizes. I chose to go with the 425cc's, but I also told my doctor that once he opens me up and looks around.. that if 425 cc's look like they're gonna be hard to squeeze in to go with 400 or even 375 if he has to.. I want to go as big as i can without the complications that can more likely happen when you go too big like smynastia, bottoming out, and without putting TOO much pressure and trauma on my chest.

Hi Micho123! Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, Did you have the surgery yet? Anyway, there is really not much difference between 400 and 425cc's... I always think, when in doubt, go with the bigger size. I went crazy over cc's and thought 425 was too much and I constantly was changing my mind... But I went with my doctors recommendations of what she said I needed to get the look I wanted. I don't think your doctor would give you an option that could be at high risk for complications. So, if He/She says 425 should be ok, then do it! :)

Looking good! I have similar breasts and am about the same size! I am trying to decide between 400cc to 450cc HP silicone. Do you feel you should have gone smaller/bigger? Any advice would be appreciated :)
June 25, 2014
Looking good! I also got 425 cc HP and am only 11 days post op. Ready to drop and look better from the side for sure! I also thought about going smaller (375cc) and now I realize I am so glad I decided on the size I chose!

16 Days Post Op

User Avatar

So, it's been 16 days since my augmentation. My breast are finally starting to feel like a part of me, like, an arm or leg. I did, however, notice on the lower side of my breast the implant slightly protruding. Also, on my right breast I did notice 2 small lumps... Almost, like, little pea size balls. Naturally, I freaked out and made an emergency visit to my PS. She told me the implant on the side was totally normal, especially on thinner women. When the implant goes behind the muscle, the muscle doesn't cover it all the way, so the bottom half sometimes protrudes and will most likely go away once it completely settles and drops. As for the pea size balls... She told me that I have lumpy breast tissue (some women do and some don't) and the implant pushes my own tissue more to the surface, where as before, it was closer to my chest. It's totally normal, especially around your period when your breast tissue is a little more swollen. My sister had the exact same thing happen to her and hers went completely away once the settled more. For peace of mind, I just really wanted to hear from my doctor that everything was ok and normal.

So, everything is looking much better! My left breast has dropped a lot more than my right breast. You can see in the pictures that they almost look lopsided, or something cause one nipple is still a lot lower on the right breast that hasn't dropped as much. I started my massages 2 days ago. I do them 3 times a day for about 5 minutes each time. Hopefully this will help them drop some more and my right one can catch up!

I never ended up having to massage. Every p.s. is different though. Mine hurt so much I would've been in tears if he would've told me I had to moosh them!! Your boobies are going to look great!

Haha thank you! And yes, they are all different. For a lot of things I don't think there is a right or wrong, just personal preference... Which can be really confusing. But yours hurt even after 2 weeks?

Yes, didn't help that Mr. Monthly showed up about 5 days after my surgery. OUCH! I'm about 7 1/2 weeks post op, and they are FINALLY feeling about 90% normal. It does hurt to hug someone tight though.

Yeah, after 2 months I hope you are starting to feel normal! ha :) I went on your profile and I think your breasts look great! You chose a perfect size!

The p.s. gave me this guide to how the first few weeks after surgery would be...week 1 was, WHAT THE HELL DID I DO...week 2 was, OMG I AM TOTALLY DEPRESSED, week 3 was, HMM, I'M THINKING I'M WANTING TO TRY TO SHOW THESE PUPPIES OFF :) I went thru those emotions in exactly that order and now I wish it wasn't winter because I'd be in a bikini! Hee hee....

You look good as well. What exactly is clean eating? I've been interested in it for a few weeks since I've been seeing more and more of it on the web.
User Avatar
January 27, 2014
Clean eating refers to a diet that consists of foods that are fresh, organic and natural. It avoids foods that are processed, such as canned or packaged foods. Eating as clean as possible simply means to eat as natural as possible. My diet consists of tons of fruits, vegetables, lean meats such as chicken breast and nautral, sprouted whole grains.

Thanks so much. I've been wanting to get into clean eating so I can get 100% right for summer.

More Pics and a few ?'s anyone can help me out with?

Just Posted some pics of what my twin looks like now, so it can give a better idea of what I will look like in a month or so. Also, my doctor had said that I should start my massaging 2 weeks post op... I find that a little strange cause every other doctor I have read up on regarding that question always say they start their patients one week post op. If anyone can help me out by telling me what they think that would be awesome! Also, any thoughts on how long to wear a sports bra? I'm 9 days post op and feel like I don't need to constantly be wearing my surgical bra. Today I switched to a tight camisole/undershirt since which gives some support since I'll mostly be taking it easy around the house.

Hi, hope you are having a good recovery. I am 2 weeks post op yesterday. I think every PS is different because I have not wore any type of bra or anything else since day 1 when I removed bandage. Also my PS said when I go back next week he will show me how to message.
User Avatar
January 17, 2014
Hi! Yeah... I've been researching these questions a lot and I fell like there is no right or wrong way, just a personal style or preference. I personally like wearing some type of bra so I feel supported, just not encaged like the surgical ones. I have also started massaging as well. I figured it wouldn't really cause harm since most doctors do start after one week or less. Some even say that it's a waste of time and don't have their patients do it at all! Anyway, thank you for getting back to me. It all helps :)

Hi There:)

What do yours look like now? im also small like you i weigh 46kgs and am 1.6m tall my op is on the 14th June 2017 im so scared, my surgeon chose my size for me cause i literally have no boobs after having my two kids but i have always been flat chested just after children its worse, couldnt even classify me as a A cup i was like a minus AAA , So Im going with 425cc High profile and im 24 years old, i jsut want an idea what yours look like after completely healed, i understand that because of being high profile it will look a little abnormal healing but im ok with that im more concerned of the after affects:)
