I've been feeling pretty good, started upper body workouts this past week. I am liking them a lot in workout clothes but so far I feel meh about them in my regular clothes. If it's not right, I just look bigger, you know? I think part of the problem is that I am in major needs of some bras! I'm so limited rt now w what I can wear with the sports bras (I'm supposed to wear these 24/7 first 3 months). Obviously I've cheated at the pool or certain outfits, but for the most part I weR sports bras. Supportive ones while out and comfy cheap Walmart ones at home. Buuuut... I did go to CS and lady sizes me at 32 ddd but I think she's off by at least one d bc she measured over my sports bra. I like the fit if the 32 Ds there.

You really look great. Especially for your small frame. Trust me... too big is too much and guys are going to love how they turned out!

Thank you :)

Everyone always says, I wish I had gone 25 to 50 cc's bigger. But you look great. be happy.
June 22, 2016
Thx... Yes I see on here how common it is!

Can I ask your height & weight? I feel we have a similar build & I've also had 2 kids & nursed both. Have my consult tomorrow & just trying to get a good size in mind. Thanks!

Your review actually helped me to decide what size I would ultimately get. I tried on 365cc allergan natrelle inspira, round, full (high) profile and that was what was decided on and put in my file for surgery. However, I read your update saying you thought they were shrinking so I asked them to change them to 385 cc instead lol. Not enough of a difference to seem huge but perhaps enough that I don't think they've shrunk too much either. Anyhow, I think you look awesome, even if you think they're a tad too far apart or small. :)

I think 385 sounds perfect! I go back and forth but at the end of the day I'm happy :). 25ccs is not much but at least you will know you went up a little! Good luck with your surgery!

hey , great results .did the dr end up lowering your fold ? I went to a consult and the dr wanted to lower my fold by 1”, I m worried about double bubble . did he place the implants above or below the muscle ?

3 weeks...

I'm 3 weeks out today and back at the gym! I started last week, just walking and doing light leg stuff and today amped it up a bit more. I feel like my boobs hide in clothes but I'm kinda happy with that. I can play them up when I want or be more discreet if I need to be. I'm liking the shape a lot and they feel so much softer now. Only slight discomfort occasionally, mostly under rt boob. Maybe bc I'm rt handed and use rt side body more? I do not have another post op till 3 months (only had one appt at one week po)... Which is kinda weird bc I feel lots of you get more appts after. Oh well, they did say o could go in before if need be!

They look perfect! Happy with my size too and all my clothes still fit. My 2nd post-op is at two months, so similar to your situation.

I've been wanting to start some leg exercises as well--lunges, squats, leg lifts, etc but I'm making myself wait until I'm at least 4 weeks post-op. I feel like I try to do too much, too soon and my boobs are not happy about it. LoL :D
