15 weeks post
I met my surgeon again yesterday (extremely briefly) and had more photos taken. The surgery and results are good, but the follow-up care is NOT good at ID hospital in Seoul, ROK.
Anyways, my health is good, but I still feel weird about chest exercises (I had sub-muscular implants and it stll feels strange to do pull ups and push ups). I am going to wait a few more weeks before incorporating them into my regular workout routine (but try to do some sporadically). I also have to wait until the 6 month mark for underwire bras. Also, the scars are beginning to fade also the small bump near month left incision is dissolving slowly. I'm feeling more optimistic about the surgery although I am considering starting a body building program soon, so I am concerned that I may be limited in my program. I'll update later as I see what happens!

13 Week update
Hello all,
Well my last entry was an anxiety-filled rant. Not exercising was EXTREMELY difficult for me, and my emotions seemed to go up and down every other day.
I enjoy many sports and activities, including yoga, and I could not do a simple chaturanga until recently. While I haven't specifically trained chest in the gym, I am slowly introducing more compound movements around that area to build strength and get accustomed to the strange animation deformity feeling. It is strange.
Other than I cough I have from a cold, these days, my health is MUCH better.
Here is recent picture for 13 weeks. Boob greed is definitely real! Some days I wish went another 100cc bigger, and other days I still wonder if I should have gotten boobs at all! I basically try to not think too much about it these days.
I have a checkup with my P.S. next week for a 3-4 month check. I want to check out a small painless bump near my incision scar which I am guessing is an internal incision or scar tissue.
Other than that, I have no pain these days, but sometimes I have aches or strange sensations that come and go, which could be related to my increased activity and working out (and the muscles adapting, etc.). The incision scars are fading, but my healing is not amazing. I'll post photos of them later.

Regrets and General Emotional Upset
Hi,
So today is exactly one month post op, and to be honest, I regret my decision so far.
Every day I am concerned that I will eventually have some complication. I just returned to lifting legs at the gym two days ago, and I am just generally feeling horrible about my body. The scale is nearly the same, which is not a good sign, since I gained two breast and I can see my muscle has atrophied.
While it is good that I can do legs now, I feel like my body is not my body. I struggle with body dysmorphia, and it feels really bad now since the operation.
Regarding my actual breasts, I have rippling at both sides when I bend over (somewhat common I researched) and also visible, but not horrible rippling in my front cleavage right breast. When I push them together, the rippling is barely noticeable, but as said, I'm just waiting for things to get worse.
I have a 5 week appointment this week with my surgeon. I have no clue what he will say, but I assume nothing can be done, except another surgery! I can't imagine having another surgery and the healing time all over again.
Basically, I regret this whole thing. Can anyone help me? Will I ever feel normal and good again? I am dying to lift again and return to my healthy state. Lately, I just have anxiety and I haven't been sleeping well. :(
