4.5 months post!
Unsure if anyone reads this but here's an update almost 4.5 months post op!!
It's been a while since I last updated so this one might be a bit long, sorry!
Going back to work (as a paramedic) was good. I was initially really worried about damaging my new boobies or hurting myself but everything went fine!! I had NO upper body strength left and it's taken this whole time to get it back. I'd say it's almost back to where it was before the surgery but I'm not yet brave enough to have a go at any pushups or anything as I'm still careful with the goods!!! My work shirt is kinda baggy so I can hide them really well. No one at work would ever have known if I didn't tell them which is good.
Actually, I had hide my boobs in almost everything I wear which is the look I was going for. I didn't want giant, fake, in your face boobs that looked out of place. I can wear nice tops and dresses and fill them out and when I want to, I can have some killer clevage! I've only really had them on display once since getting them - my boyfriend and I went to some hot pools and I felt like everyone was staring at me because it was obvious my boobs were fake but the other half said they don't look fake at all and everyone was only staring because of how amazing they looked. That was definitely nice to hear!!
They've both dropped and fluffed nicely. I'd like to see them drop maybe a little bit more as the projection is still a lot fuller at the top that what I was hoping for. As I've said, I wasn't keen on high profile but Dr Pichit said they'd look best and he wouldn't let me argue with him on it. They're pretty squishy now and feel almost like a normal boob. They don't move the same (and probably never will) but they definitely have some jiggle to them i.e holding my boobs if I'm running down some stairs!!!
My boyfriend absolutely LOVES them. We were both a bit nervous about how he was gonna feel about them but his main concern was me getting what I was hoping for out of all of this. He can see that I am extremely happy with the results and what it has done to my confidence which in turn has made him love them.
I've only had one issues so far which I'm gonna put down to an internal stitch. My right boob got really achy and stayed that way for a few days. I emailed some PS here in Melbourne to get it checked and they all quoted me upwards of $500 just for a standard consult! Anyways, one night in bed I stretched and felt a POP in the sore boob and then immediate relief so I can only assume I had an internal stitch caught and it was pulling. Other than that, no problems!
I'm EXTREMELY paranoid about getting capsular contracture and this is something that's on my mind a lot because I fear it so much! I know there's nothing I can do to avoid it so I have my fingers tightly crossed that it doesn't happen! Also a bit worried about the scars. I used silicone strips for 12 weeks and rub cocoa butter on them every few days but for now I am trying to let them do their own thing. They look to be healing well but they're still very noticeable and one is visibly a lot lower than the other and it's hard to hide in bikinis etc as it sits about 2cm below my breast fold which is disappointing as it may stay this way forever and give me away about having implants!
I've attached some photos which I took tonight for the purpose of posting them with this update. I've tried not to stress too much during my healing so I haven't been very vigilant in taking a lot of photos of them!!
Final bras size is 12DD (34DD) which I am sooooooo happy with. I feel like they are the perfect size for my body and balance me out nicely!!!

Spitting stitch
The stitch I mentioned above came out! It started to get really sore and I tried my best to leave it alone to do it's own thing but yesterday it was almost stinging after my shower.
I had a look in the mirror and noticed a pimple looking thing with a little black bit in it. I'd read in a PS answer about spitting stitches that it's okay to give them a bit of a squeeze to help move the stitches.
I used two cotton buds on either side of it and out spat a bit of stitch! Feels SOOOOOOO much better now that it's gone!!! There's still a few others coming out but they don't hurt at all so I'm leaving them be for now :)
Boobies are still dropping and fluffing. Unsure if I'm 100% happy with the profile and projection though. I really didn't want high profile but my PS insisted on it. I'm hoping they round out a bit more because they are still very full and fake looking at the top which I wanted to avoid!!!

One month post :)
Wooohoo here I am at the one week post mark!
Not much has changed - but the boobies are dropping and fluffing nicely. Left has always been a bit bigger and still is and has dropped and rounded out much faster than right but righty isn't too far behind.
Every day I use Palmers cocoa butter or bio oil on my boobs and I've been using paper tape and silicone scar sheets to help flatten my scar. I also give it a good rub every morning too to promote blood flow.
Both of my boobs are still numb in areas - mainly along the bottoms and along my sternum but the feeling it starting to come back slowly.
My right scar is spitting about 4 pieces of dissolvable stitches at the moment..one part is really irritating me because it rubs on the bands of most of my sports bras. My flatmate is a nurse and did a stint in plastics and told me to just leave it be and it should sort itself out. I've read some PS responses from questions asked on RealSelf too and this is basically what they have said too. I'm hoping it doesn't take too long because one of the responses said they can take up to 9 months to fully dissolve!
Other than that everything is fairly unremarkable. I can sleep really comfortably on my sides now which is a godsend. I used to be a tummy sleeper only but those days are gone now!!!
I will update with photos soon.
