So I am now 6 weeks post. I still get swollen on my tummy as the day goes on and I am not sure if my sleeping on my side again is reason for me to wake up still swollen. Not as bad as night time bit still. I love love that my flabby skin is gone and that my stomach is soo much smoother over my clothes. I definitely still have stretch marks but I am totally ok with that.
The only thing I'm having a bit of a hard time is my boobies. They don't look as round as I'd like them too. When I'm naked they seem small to me, I don't know if it's because they don't have that final shape yet. I've seen soo many reviews and most ladies at this point already have beautiful breast and I don't. I know I still have time for them to fully drop but I don't feel completely happy with them. The funny thing is that I couldn't stand just the sports bras anymore and had to buy at least 2 bras and I am fitting perfectly into 34D which I most certainly don't look like when naked. I do love how they look with clothes but I just hope they don't stay like this.

I see what you mean. They don't look round. Have you tried massaging? Also, for swelling and healing try some supplements like turmeric, bromelain, probiotics, ginger anx cayenne. They are very helpful!

You look great in your outfit!!

I'm not gonna lie I suck with my massages, do you think that's the reason they aren't round? I got to get on that right away. I am not swollen at all anymore, but I'm sure I still have healing to do. Thanks for recommending those supplements, I will be looking for them.

I think they are still sitting quite high

Yes they are, someone said that it's because of the size, too big. Although I don't think they are, I've seen girls on here shorter and weighing less with same size if not larger implant and they don't look like I do. I don't really know, I just gotta wait it out which blows I want them to be beautiful already

I also think maybe u needed a bigger implant for your body would give you more fullness and roundness

That's the biggest in mod profile I could get due to my bwd, 11.8. I think I'm just taking forever to drop because they are Saline not silicone. I read somewhere that silicone don't need to d&f as much as saline.

You may just have super tight chest muscles so they are taking their sweet time!

I think you are right, there is no way this could be my final result.

any updates? did they drop and fluff? if so, how long did it take? mine are doing the same thing at 5 weeks. but I got silicone. I’m hoping they soften and project out more. I did used to lift weights so maybe my muscles are super tight? just a waiting game...uhhhh

Incision

Forgot to post pics of my incision, one of my sides looks like crap, hope it smooths out. I know I still have a lot of stretch marks but I don't care. I kinda like having some kind of remnant of the marks left behind the gift of being a mother.
I can barely close my jeans, walk around with them open til I have to leave the house, sucks but I can't complain they are a size 2.

What size implants did you end up getting?
April 27, 2016
I ended up with 390cc on my left and 370cc on my right, he corrected slight asymmetry. They felt really big on me at first as I thought I wanted to be conservative but I actually really like them. They feel small naked and huge with a bra. I know that sounds weird but it's true lol.

It's been a while since I have updated. I became very sad as I was not able to do anything for myself. Including take a shower, it was hard on me, really hard. My tummy swelled up a lot and I couldn't stand up straight, til day 15. My back hurt from being hunched over and my butt from sitting. My boobs look really boxy. I began to think I made a huge mistake and felt horrible for spending so much money selfishly. It was too much for me I was depressed. These last couple of days have been better, my swelling is becoming less but I do blow up by the end of the day. I have that weird "sunburn" feeling inside my tummy, which is funny because the outside is soo numb. I can only fit into 1 pair of jeans and yoga pants. I'm worried that when I go back to work what I'm going to wear. Can't wait for this swell hell to go away, and of course for my boobs to drop.
I think my boobs are starting to drop, they aren't as boxy on top anymore but still have more dropping to do. So far I'm fitting D's but I could still be swollen so who knows. They seem bigger than what I wanted but at the same time I like them and could see how I could of done more lol but they could very well appear bigger once my muscle fully relaxes. Only time will tell.
I don't want to offend anyone but VS sizes don't count in my opinion, they are vanity sizes. When I was my sad A they said I was a C, which fit perfectly. I can only imagine if I go back now they would say DD or DDD. Which would be false. Most other companies are about the same only VS, comes up with these crazy sizes just to make us feel better about ourselves I guess.

Hang in there! It DOES get better and your emotional response is totally normal. Once all the anesthesia, pain meds are out of your system and the swelling goes down you will feel way better! I agree with what you're saying about V secret sizing.. I've been sized by them 2 different people sized me differently and then I went to a different v secret a few days later to exchange something and the other person sized me differently as well! It's best to go to a lingerie shop that does bra sizing. I still like some of their bras but as long as I know how to size myself and know what fits properly I do t really focus on their sizing. I usually wear a 34D across most bras. At Vic secret they've sized me at 32DDD, OR 34DD and 34D so I don't trust their "bra fitters" but I do still love some of their bras so I just figure it out myself :) with all the research and obsession over my boobs I just learn how to fit myself LOL!! Good luck with your healing, it really is just as emotional as it is physical. Xo

Thank you mumster! It's good to know that this emotional roller coaster I have been on is normal. I had read over and over how each day gets better and I am seeing it. It just feels slow.
I'm glad you understand what I mean about VS, I have zero intentions of offending anyone who wants to believe that those sizes are accurate. It makes no sense, to go from an A to DDD or even E'd with 400cc's. Everything I've read says about 1 cup size per 200cc's, so going from an A to D maybe yes if it was more than just a nipple lol but to go DDD or more is just... no... I'm sorry. I was a full A which is why I think I'll be a full C maybe small D. But that's just my guess. I too have obsessed over boobs and I think I too can figure it better myself. I'll just have to try on a ton which that I am looking forward to when the time comes.
Thanks again for your kind words.
