Wow, that seems crazy! I'm still having little aches and pains, but feel pretty much back to normal. I was thinking about all the things I worried about beforehand and now looking back could have not wasted time worrying about!! The size is perfect. Could I have gone smaller and been happy, yes, probably. However, with my wide shoulders and height the 500 are perfect. The doctor knew exactly what she was doing! All my clothes still fit. No big shopping spree necessary, although I am looking forward to that eventually. Probably more for Summer clothes though!! Also, I got worried about people just knowing at work so I told a few people and now wish I hadn't. In my work clothes, I am not obvious! It's really none of their business and I should have left it that way. They were in no way negative, but I still wish I had thought twice about telling them. They more than likely would have never noticed!!!! One of these day, I'll get more pictures up.

So almost a year later are you happy with your over the muscle BA? I'm very nervous about going over but she suggested the same for me.

Thanksgiving!

Its Thanksgiving Day and I give thanks for new boobies in tank tops!! The left breast seems to be more swollen than the right which I'm a little concerned about. I don't know how much of a difference I should worry about it. I have never taken anything stronger than Tylenol so it's not painful. I am going to post a few pics without the bra. It seems like it is more obvious in the bra though.

Glad your recovery is going well and that you're not having pain. Hope your swelling goes down. I Think it's part of the process but if you don't see improvement in a week. Maybe you should call your ps. Take it nice and slow and don't over do it. Even if you're feeling good. Remember the healing inside takes longer than the outside. Take care

Thanks! I'll be keeping an eye on it! There isnt any pain or bruising so it is probably normal, but some of the horror stories have me a tad paranoid!

Wow, looks great, congrats!

Lots of swelling happens after BA. As well as bloat, gas, constipation, muscle pain, incision pain....you get the picture:) Healing takes time. Hope your recovery goes smoothly. Blessings!

The swelling seems to have evened out or I'm getting used to it! So far things are still going smoothly!

You sound like me--- I didn't have any pain after surgery and didn't even take any of the prescribed Norco pain pills- Just took Tylenol extra strength throughout the day/night. My left boob is still dropping nicely but my righty is being more slow and difficult- probably b/c I use my right arm and hand more often, causing that side to tense up more-?? I'm about 2 months postop but couldn't be more happy with my beautiful boobs :)

I don't know!! I'm right-handed and that one is doing better for me. It's the left one driving me crazy! Today was probably my best day so far. Monday I went back to work and while I wasn't really in pain, I was TIRED by the end of the day! Yesterday I had a work day off site and it was pretty good. Today was pretty much back to normal. Still taking Tylenol every now and then and just having small aches and pains.

Day after

timeforme04
I am still feeling pretty good. I am a little slower when I get up and down, but it goes away after I am up for a few minutes. I also was able to take everything off and shower this morning. The hubs had to wash my hair for me. I can left my arms, but it felt funny. Actually, it took me a long time to decide to take the bra off. I was afraid if I took it off, they might fall off, lol! I still haven't taken anything besides Tylenol. Dr. Meystrik gives you a numbing medicine during surgery that is supposed to last about 3 days. I hope that gets me through the worst of it! I should have taken pictures before I got in the shower because the bra on and off thing is a real chore! Next time I shower, I will get pics. Also, I'm supposed to wear the surgical bra night and day for a couple days. then I can find a bra that is comfortable and supportive to wear. My next checkup will be December 17. They are very high and firm right now. I know that takes time, but I'm already looking forward to it! Also, some members have asked what kind I have. They are 500 cc Smooth Round Moderate Plus Profile Gel by Mentor.
