6 months out!
I'm now at 6 months post op and am thrilled to say that I feel like myself again. I don't "feel" them like I used to every time I lift something, lay down or exercise. They simply feel like my breasts again which is awesome.
It was definitely a new experience being in a bathing suit in hawaii recently. Normally I'd get a quick glance/check out from a guy but now guys were literally gawking at me and walking by multiple times staring as blatantly as one can. (Yep - I'm seriously talking about open mouth, staring directly at my chest and nowhere else, almost walking into people type of gawking!) In some ways that was awesome (who doesn't like being checked out.. right ladies?! In some ways though it was a bit of a shock and felt overwhelming and uncomfortable. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it all since I was pretty sure I'd be getting a C cup and keeping my athletic build... maybe, just maybe a small D... with the CCs I went with. Heh - oops - DDs are what I have and let me tell you... they most definitely get a lot more attention than an A/small B!
I'll have to see how I feel in 10-15 years when I need to redo them. I currently think I'll go down a size or two but who knows... maybe I'll get so used to them that I won't want to. I am certain though that the surgery is definitely not worth going through again now just for a revision. I'm just thankful to be healed up and healthy again. Now to start losing some of that post surgery weight (aka eating my feelings) I put on when I couldn't exercise for 6 months.... oh boy!
I've attached my before and 6 month post op photos so you can see how they've changed. :)

I am ME again!!
I was really struggling with how awful my right nipple/breast looked due to the multiple wounds around it. The largest one was about 1/4 in wide and even longer plus I had other spots that kept opening up as well. It was pretty awful and painful too. Sorry for not taking photos of that but I just couldn't bring myself to do it because it upset me too much.
Dr Salemy worked his magic and my right breast has been healing flawlessly this time. We kept the stitches in for a little over 2 weeks to ensure it had enough time to start holding on its own. Just got those out yesterday and I am ecstatic!!
I even started walking this week and made it 5 miles without any pain. Thank goodness! Previously I would have ended up holding/supporting my boob after 1/4 mile or less. Now I can start to make some traction on losing the 10 pounds I gained... oy!
I'm sleeping on my sides and wearing normal bras and just thrilled beyond belief that i can finally start getting back to normal life again.... slowly (yes yes... I know Dr S, I won't push myself too fast!)
I was having to see him every couple of days and now I'm not scheduled for another month. Woohoo! Although, it's kind of funny that I'll actually miss seeing the people since I've gotten to know many of them during my frequent visits. :)
Here are a couple of current photos. Now that I'm seeing them on here, I must have been doing something weird with my posing because they look higher than they actually are. They've dropped and fluffed wonderfully IMO.
Off to go enjoy my day with my awesome healing boobies!! :)
Have a great day ladies!

Photos are back!
Couldn't find a way to add them back into their respective posts but I've tried to title them in a way that will hopefully make them easy to connect to their posts
