2 months post and still soo happy!

So I'm at 5 months post now. First of all I need to say that I LOVE my boobs. My self confidence has grown so much I almost wish I'd done this year's ago. Sure the being able to wear lovely unpadded bras is good, as well as any clothes I want, but the biggest difference is how I feel about me. So much so it's had such a positive effect on my relationship with the hubby.

Now its not all plain sailing. I know my body has been through a lot, and they are still far from healed. I have a couple of inches of numbness towards the bottom of my breasts, have sensitivity in my nipples, both meaning that they don't feel overly nice to be touched, and I get the odd funny twinge every now and again. But I wouldn't change the situation in the world for how I feel about myself. I looked back at my pre op photos a few days ago and it upset me. I just was taken back to how much I hated my boobs before the op and how that unhappiness consumed me every day. I don't actually like to look at the naked ones as I actually can't believe I looked like that.

I have still only told a couple of people and no one else has guessed or said anything. I'm not sure I'll be able to hide them truly in a bikini this summer but truth is I can't wait. They've been settling and hidden under jumpers the whole winter, and with the weather now getting warmer I just can't wait to be able to wear whatever I want, without worrying about what i look like.

I wish in some ways it wasn't like that, that perhaps the world we like in today has warped my brain into feeling that I can only be happy with perfect boobs, but I have tried to love them for the whole of my life so far and haven't. Until now.

Do I recommend getting it done to anyone out there? I don't envy anyone going through that process of research and choosing the surgeon, worrying about making the right choice and spending the money, going through the recovery and contemplating CC and all the rest but now I'm on the other side I am so so SO glad I did.

I am a happy girl.

Good luck to anyone else out there thinking about having implants and im happy to share more if anyone has any questions x

Can't believe it's so long since I updated! Where did that time go! First of all - Loving life you were spot on, the 6 week mark was indeed the big turning point for me, within the 6 to 7 week, the scratchy burny feelings I was getting went, and my arm movement want almost back to normal!
Here I am at around 10 weeks now and I feel like a different person. Not only do I forget about my boobs most of the time but I am so much more confident.
It brought it home when my hubs, went to touch me and commented on how different it felt to feel boob, rather than crunchy padding. I was so pleased to hear him say that! Especially as I hated him touching the padding!! Used to say what's the point!! I look at myself now naked and am not shy or embarrassed about what i see. I feel almost whole again if anyone out there knows what i mean? I mean because I had boobs and then they shrivelled and disappeared and now I have new improved versions!!
I'm not saying that everything is perfect but even still I am so happy and if I had to have them out tomorrow I will have loved the time spent with them, which is how I know it was the right thing to do.
Problems I have, I still have no feeling on the bottom half of my breasts. I know it's still early days but it could be forever, who knows.
Also, because of the above I have little sensation in my nipples. Again I know this can take some time to sort out.
I still have the funny floaty feeling in part of my left boob. I'm told by my ps that it's where the muscle has undergone trauma, and it's more than likely that it's to do with part of the nerves that still aren't working properly but still. It feels weird.
Finally I still have two tiny bits of stitch in the scar on my nip that means two teeny tiny pinpricks won't heal properly. I'm only gutted as half of the scar is beautiful and so flat already and the other isn't. Hopefully the stitch bits will come out eventually!

Having said all the above I love love love my boobs and they are really feeling like part of me now. I almost wish I had it done sooner but I say you should never regret anything in life. Just learn.

Hope everyone out there is either recovery g from their BA s or getting excited about theirs to come. Either way I'm thinking about you all.

Thanks for taking the time to read my update x

Will I ever get through a whole day and not think about my boobs ever again?! I'm still experiencing the slight sore burn feeling across the front of my boobs and i'd really like to know how long it's going to last. I haven't read one review that I can remember where anyone has had this feeling for so long :( meh.

I'm also wondering if the little feeling I get in my left boob - and I can only describe it as part of the implant is free moving if that makes sense? Have I got that forever too? I need to book an appointment with my p's but any thoughts or advice in the meantime is welcomed!

I'm just thoughtful about the above points though, and to be honest, I'd still take the above I reckon over having no boobies! I still flipping love them!

Oh oh another question - do these little scar away strips come to size or you cut them? We don't have them in the UK but I'm thinking about ordering some!

Thanks!!

Also I'm posting two photos one from 8 days and one from today at 35? Days post.
