My Update
WORTH IT$4,695
Hello Ladies, I forgot to add picture updates, but I am loving my results, but there are little nicks and nacks that I would like to share with you all. For one, The whole area below my nipple parts are all still numb, my Dr said it will go away within a few months, but It has been a couple of months, does it last for almost a half of year? or How long?
Also I have one breast bigger than the other, and one nipple goes outward and not straight, so I have a bit of a few flaws, but I am glad I at least got to do this! The Sientra textured implant I love because with you lay down or jump they do not go all over the place, but the fact that I wish I had a cleavage, I still dont, not even with my new bras. I am thinking about The gummy bear clear silicone gel implant, does anyone have that that they are able to make a cleavage when they have no cleavage without a bra? I am just trying to get more information about it, and also I feel it is not as big as I expected it to be. But I do like them overall. :) Hope everyone is doing great with their results!

Hello everyone, I will be posting more pics tomorrow, my 3 week mark, but I just have a quick question..tomorrow is my 3 week mark and I still feel a loss of energy and exhausted when I do a little bit of things. Not sure if this is normal or not, but I am ready to feel good about myself already .. but I dont.. any suggestions ? Also I'm not taking any vitamins, which I know I should be. .

I don't know. I was over the moon for 2 months or so after my surgery in 2006, worked, went on holidays, etc. each of us differs.
Sending lots of strengthening power!

Totally normal! Three weeks is a very short time to recover from major surgery. You are bound to feel exhausted - I know I sure did at three weeks. It can get to you - it certainly got to me at the three week mark. I had it in my head for some unknown reason that I would feel totally normal by three weeks so when I didn't I was like, whaaaat? But the reality is it's a bit of a long process. I hope that you aren't having much pain at this stage - the biggest thing for me was that the pain really settled at three weeks even though I was all round feeling pretty average physically. But if you are still feeling pain remember that's exhausting in and of itself. It gets better I promise you. :) xoB.

1 week 3 day Post Op
Hello Realselfers! I am so pleased with my results and recovery. It's taking a little long for the tenderness and firmness to go away, but hopefully it will go away soon. I feel great, I just am debating when should I get sized with new bras? I want to go asap, but what if I get bigger or smaller? I'm tired of wearing my sports bras but I don't even know if I will be comfortable in a bra yet since I'm so sensitive at the same time. It's kind of hard to make a decision when I'm still in recovery. Also I feel like one boob is bigger than the other, my Dr. Says it's normal and I have to be patient to let both of them settle in, but I'm just hoping I won't stay like this. Another post op negative is Boob greed. . I kkwo I'm very slender, but I couldn't help thinking if I should have went one size bigger? I look much smaller than I imagined. But I do have to say I still love them. I wouldn't go under another surgery unless I absolutely have to. I stopped the pain meds about a few days ago .. and antibiotics all completed so I'm just trying to be patient with my results. I hope everyone is having a good day so far. I also want to be able to hold my son normally and get out of the house, but I feel like it's a lot for me to do. Or am I just being over dramatic do you think?

Thank you ! Patience is the worst part. But I will try my best. :) I just can't wait until it's all settled.

i think they are a great size!!
October 17, 2015
Thank you, I just feel liek I could have gone one more suze, but if I did it would have been close to 500cc, because there is only certain textured gel sizes.. but thanks again. :)

You are looking amazing hon - give them time they've got a bucketload of D&Fing to do and they will end up bigger than they look now once everything stretches and relaxes. Little point buying anything much in the way of bras at 10 days post... though I found buying a couple of cheapies a sufficient enough investment at that stage just to get out of my surgical bra because it was trying to kill me. Don't spend too much though because in a month you'll be throwing them all out the window because your boobs will change so much. Oh it is so normal for one to progress quicker or seem bigger than the other - don't give it a second thought at all. They'll even up. OMG IKR - the desperate desire to get back to feeling normal so you can hold your son and get out of the house is intense. You aren't being overdramatic - it's really tough not being able to do those things and it drives you a bit nuts. Hang in there. You'll notice a huge change at three weeks and a whole lot more options will be available to you in everything from more comfortable bras to being able to hold your little man. You really are looking fabulous. So happy for you. :) xo

Thank you so much for the wonderful tips, I was thinking about getting some comfy bras at target for now, and later when a few months passes by I can go get more expensive bras when it's fully settled. Thank you again. It is very frustrated because I want to be able to pick up my babies and get out more, I feel trapped and useless ..it's so hard. But yes patience is the key I guess ..haha. Oh yes the sports bras are just stopping me from breathing, we'll it's just a little tight for me. . I just can't wait for the final results. :) :) thank u out for your kind words, hope all is well with you.

Yep I got a couple at Target - pretty good selection for not much $$. I was pleasantly surprised by their range. God it's so frustrating I totally know... and being housebound SUUUUCKS. Patience is the key but this process is soooo trying. I've said it before and I believe it - a saint would lose their patience going through this! stay strong :)

They look amazing, especially for being only 10 days post! Sometimes they sit up so high for so long it seems, but yours sit in a nice spot!!! Beautiful. I noticed your pic about all your surgery preparation gear -- I am getting my BA the 9th and will be in a hotel 3.5 hours from home the first night. Did you find you needed anything else for supplies besides what's it that picture?? Again, you look great!

As for a little bit of asymmetry with the boobs and nipples - try not to get too caught up in it... just like natural boobs our enhanced assets have their own idiosyncrasies :)
I have very little cleavage unless I wear certain bras or tops but that being said, I have smooth implants, not textured, so no doubt someone else will be in a better position to talk to you about that side of things.
So glad you are happy overall! You should feel fabulous... you deserve it. :) xo
