Boobies in a bra

Even though I'm only 2 weeks post-op, I walked by a Victoria's Secret yesterday and just HAD to go try on a few bras. It was pretty fun passing by all my old B drawers and head straight to the D and DD!! I tried on both 32D and DD, and found that the DD definitely fit better. I was super excited! By boobs are still sitting pretty high, but I thought they looked alright in the bras. I just can't wait until a few months when I can actually start wearing some push up bras! I really want to see if I'll be able to get the cleavage I'm hoping for!

HEY girl, im so glad i found your post because our stats are exactly the same! anyways im hoping you can help me out because ive been agonizing over size for months!!! i cant choose between 365 or 385..... im 5'3, and weight 115.
everyone thinks i should go smaller, but im scared ill rgret it. im paying so much...
my biggest concern is that 385 will look too big on my petite frame, and that ill look top heavy in clothes?
how do your feel? does going from small boobs to such big ones ever hurt your back or anything?

Hey! With your stats I don't think 385 will look to big at all! I love my new boobs but really wish I could go back and tack on another 100 cc's or so, so my advice would be to stick with the 385 (or even go a little bigger depending on the look you're going for). I was also terrified of going too big and looking top heavy, but you really don't even notice I've had anything done in clothes, and I don't think they make me look top heavy at all. I was also worried about the weight of the implants and back pain, but so far at least I haven't had any problems. And I don't even notice the extra weight- they just feel like a part of my body at this point. Let me know what you decide! When is your surgery?

Numbness

S

I'm still experiencing numbness in the bottom half of my left boob, and some decreased feeling in my right boob. And I'm a little nervous about it. Both nipples have some feeling, but to the point where it just feels weird when they're touched. It's driving my boyfriend crazy since I won't really let him touch them, and I'm worried that they will always feel like this! It's a hard feeling to describe, but just feels somehow yucky when they're touched....

When did you ladies start getting feeling back after surgery? I really hope this isn't anything permanent! Is there anything anyone did that they thought helped regain sensation?

More boob greed

S
sarahpiper88
I finally told my brother and sister-in-law last night about my surgery. Woop! It was terrifying but it went pretty well. My brother just kind of sat there looking like he would rather be ANYWHERE else but there, but my sister in law was pretty supportive and seemed excited for me!

I'm a little over 2 weeks post op and feeling pretty much back to normal. I still seem to get tired easier and faster, especially if I'm doing anything with my arms! I hand washed my post-op bra last night and literally almost fainted from all the activity :) Even though I didn't exercise super regularly pre surgery I'm excited to start getting into shape once my PS gives me the go ahead. It's like having my new boobies makes me want to have a great body to match!

My left boob is definitely getting softer and dropping a little bit. Right is still pretty high and hard. But that makes sense since my left boob was a little bigger to begin with, so there's probably just more tissue covering the implant. How long did it take everyone else for their boobs to start dropping and softening? I really just want them to look more normal so I can show them off more!! AND can't wait to get this dumb compression band off. One more day!!!

I'm having pretty hardcore boob greed right now. I love how they look when I'm not wearing anything, but I really can't tell at all if I'm wearing any clothes, even tight ones! I'm hoping that the compression bra is making them a little smaller than they will in a normal bra? Or that they might look bigger after dropping and fluffing?

Did anybody feel like their boobs looked bigger after the drop and fluff? Or do they look smaller? :(
I just can't believe I'm wishing I had gone bigger, since I spent so much time freaking out before surgery that I was going way too big. I almost changed my mind last minute to a smaller size and I'm SO glad I didn't!!

Hey! Your results look nice and I think the size seems good for you! I went to same Dr. and have similar stats. My surgery was beginning of Jan so about a month behind you. I was wondering about this question myself....if they get bigger or smaller with the "drop and fluff". Have you noticed any difference? I'm happy with my results so far but hoping they come together a little bit more.
