Restoring Breast Fullness After 3 Babies :) - Vancouver, BC

Coming on 4 months post op! Things are great. Any lingering pain is almost non existent now. Breasts are soft and filling out wonderfully. Scars are smoothing out and the sensitivity on/around my incisions has greatly improved.
I gave Dr. P's office a call today since I haven't followed up with him since the surgery. Being an out of town patient, unfortunately I didn't have the luxury/advantage of any post op appointments yet. Thankfully I haven't had any concerns. Smooth sailing, all in all. I plan on seeing him again in the Spring. I'll fly to Vancouver for the day once this very snowy Winter passes.
I asked Simone about the dentist and what they suggested regarding the possible complication of bacteria related capsular contracture and she recommended no dentist visits until 6 months post op. So I rescheduled my cleaning for a later date.
I'm still wearing my underwire bra 24/7. It's not mandatory that I sleep in it but I just feel better doing so. I like the feeling of them being locked in and secure, as opposed to flip flopping around. ;)
I am continuing my daily massages and scar gel application. I will do anything and everything to properly care for my new and (very!) improved breasts. They have made me so happy and much more confident. I still get the odd thought of wishing that I went a little bigger but I put that thought to rest quickly. My outcome was exactly what I hoped it would be.

More pics...
Bikini tops are all pretty darn snug but I think they still look ok? I almost gave them all away after I had my 3rd baby. Thanks to my surgery, I can have a little fun and pretend that I'm in my 20's again. ;)

I sure hope so too! I won't settle until I find someone who will. I was a bit naive the first time. Once bitten, twice shy.

Absolutely. There are some truly amazing surgeons out there. All the best to you, Chrissy.

Thank you so much! I'm extremely happy with my results so far. How are YOU doing? Did you have your surgery yet? (sorry that my memory isn't that good). :P

Wow, they look AMAZING! Your nipples look fantastic, which seems to be an issue sometimes with BA. I can imagine you are very pleased with your results.

Happy New (Boobs) Year!! ;)
Hi ladies!! I hope you are all happy and well. I'm doing good! It's been 11 weeks since my surgery. Wow, almost 3 months! Thinking back on my operation, it feels like a dream. Like a big blur and, frankly, I still can't believe I did it.
Having said that, I'm glad I did! :). I'm loving my new breasts. They are so pretty and natural looking, in my opinion. I love the size and how full they are...very happy. They are soft and squishy now, which is great. In no way do they feel foreign anymore. Exactly what I hoped for.
Pain wise, I don't feel anything throughout the day but I'm still feeling some discomfort by my incisions, in certain positions while sleeping. It's likely due to my underwire bra (which I wear 24/7). I do wonder if I should be feeling pain at all, at this point. Being an out of town patient, I haven't had any follow up appointments so I think a quick phone call to Dr P's office would give me some peace of mind. Incisions look good. A little bumpy in areas but nothing concerning, I would say.
I started weight training again this week and so far so good. I was able to do my usual routine including some (modified) push ups but tricep dips and chest flys felt uncomfortable/weird so I didn't want to push it and left those out.
I love that all my clothing still fits the same (but look BETTER). I also love that it's not a dead giveaway that I've had anything done. Now I just have to work off all those shortbread cookies, butter tarts, nuts and bolts, Turtles, Baileys and countless other Christmas goodies I've ingested over the holidays. I think I'll always be a work in progress. ;)

You look awesome!!! So what made you decide to go under the breast as your incision site? I'm still debating about this. Trying to weigh out the pros and cons.

Hi and thank you! To be honest, my doctor was the deciding factor. I just trusted his plan for me. :). Sorry that this doesn't help you much. I can say that I'm extremely happy with the scar placement. I can't even see it because it's very well hidden in my breast fold. Good luck to you!

everything about your boobs is picture perfect. even your nipples (aerolas) are perfectly round and super perky in the 'same' way ...you look awesome!

Thank you for the amazing compliment! "My boobs", "picture perfect" and "super perky" would have NEVER been words in the same sentence prior to surgery, haha.

Your breasts look perfect and natural!! I still get slight pain in certain positions as well but not near my incision line. I wondered if it was normal or not as well.

January 6, 2017
Thank you, Chrissy!! I'm so glad that I'm not the only one. I think it's more normal than we think. As long as the pain gradually gets better as opposed to the opposite, I think we're ok. :). I've read that it can take up to a year after surgery for the pain to completely disappear. Of course, always best to check/follow up with our docs, right?

You're looking amazing! Tricep workouts still feel weird to me too lol
I still feel some discomfort around my incision and ribs, I think it's a part of the healing process :)

Hi!! Great to hear from you! It's a relief to know that I'm not alone in that pesky, lingering discomfort. The more I think about it, of course there would still be the odd pain...we were sliced open only a few months ago, right?? I hope you are doing well in your healing and having a great start to the New Year. :)
