Here's to Hoping for C Cups! - Wilmington, NC

Well girls its just 5 days shy of being 6 months (03/25). Things are great as far as back and neck pain as that was gone after surgery. I do not regret doing this surgery for one moment. Yes there are scars. I was having issues with scar treatments as I kept breaking out. That is definitely not normal for me as I never had issues with breakouts on my chest or back before. It has since gone away when I stopped using the oils. At the moment I am going to get in touch with my doctor back in NC ( as I have moved back to texas back in November). I will ask for other options for scars. I know I have plenty of time as scars will take a long time to fade and soften more.

As far a size I am happy with my size. They are still D cups. I am still wearing a band size bigger. I started out 36H and now I am comfy in a 38D. I think maybe its because the girls are higher up and it just seems to be more comfy as I am more sensitive to pressure and tightness in the rib cage area under my boobies. That's fine with me as they are definitely smaller and perkier. I have found one thing I do love is when I do put on a bra the girls don't need adjustment at all! It's like OMG they stay in the same place. They are soft and perky like they should be. I have even braved trying on a few bathing suits but I still haven't found the top that I love yet. I'll keep looking and I promise when I do find the right bikini top and bottoms I will post a pic of it for you all! I have been working normal hours for a while now and that is keeping me busy. I am going to find time to add more activities and be more active. I run with my dog and nephews as well! I am finding more energy every day!

Tata for now. Please all of you girls take care and happy healing!!!! Hugs and smooches!!!!

Hi ladies!!! Its been 4 months as of 2/25/13!!!! I can not believe the difference since week 1! Not much has changed over this month. I'm switching scar remedies and have tried them all pretty much. I luv them all really. They are slowly changing and turning lighter each day. I still have a few spots that I can feel the scar but my concern is not with how they look now. I know in a year they will be completely skin colored and not as noticeable. They hubby doesn't seemed bothered and says the girls look great to him. And bonus they fit in his hands now! He jokes and says look hunny one hand!

I have been working alot and my body feels pretty much back to normal. I am slowly adding for vigorous exercising and activity each week. I am starting to watch things I eat since surgery and I am really trying to keep the inches down. That part is the most difficult change. I want my body to equal my new boobies! I am not a lazy person but I do like eat good food. Seems when u want something good u gain weight! ahhhhhhhh!!!! lol

I know alot of you girls are wondering how size and shape will be when ur done with surgery. Try not to think of cup size (as hard as that is!!!). The point of this surgery is to obtain a smaller and more manageable breast size. Most of us have been this way all our life and just need relief. I had a hard time not being a c cup at first. I was disappointed and a bit depressed about the size of bra i ended up buying. I remember thinking that have i done ....all this and no C cup! Now??? Well now i feel good about it. I am not even worried that a 38 D is more comfy than a 36 D. They both fit but one feels more comfy than the other at this time. So i tell myself its ok. I will take comfort over pain and having lines on my skin after i take my bra off any day!!! Well enough rambling lol. My point is plz plz dont be upset if ur cup size is not exactly what u wanted after ur surgery. for me a D is way better than the H i started with!!

These are the scar treatments I have tried over the last few months.

Mederma
Palmers Skin Therapy
Bio Oil

They all work great. My recommendation is to try to not to use anything else on ur breast when using them. I think thats why i have the bit of reaction that i did. I stopped using other lotions and such while using them and that has helped out. If you have any questions feel free to ask as so many of us on here use them and will happy to review our results.

Good luck for those of u that are getting ur surgeries soon. And for those of u on the recovery side.... take care and rest rest rest!!!!!!! Happy healing!!!!

P.S. Mia!!!!! I sent u my phone number so if u ever feel up to texting go for it!!!!! xxxxxxxxxxxx

HI ladies!!! Been a busy girl these days. I am sorry I have taken so long to update. I missed my 3 month update (3 months would have officially been Christmas day!) so here it is!!! Not much has changed as far the girls go. They are still perky and staying where they belong! They have softened up and I can squeeze them now. I am also finally back to being able to sleep however I want!!!!!!!! I am in no pain and haven't had zingers in awhile now. Every now and then the scars get a bit sensitive but a gently rub on the scars and that goes away. On Christmas day I started wearing regular bras. So far my size is sticking at a large D/Small DD. I found that I am getting what I pay for as far as bras go. The ones I have purchased at Victoria secrets are fitting very well. The cheaper ones i got at walmart are not. The front clasp that I was so excited about is slightly too small. When they tell u to wait to buy ur bras they mean it!!!!! If I can pass along anything that would be my weekly tidbit for sure. DO NOT BUY BRAS until after 3 months. I am serious. My breasts have changed even in the last month as far as being more soft and feeling less like inplants! Your breast will not mold properly for some time so give the bra buying a wait and have patience....(uggg patience!!!)

As for my scars. They slowly changing. They are still pink and for the most part very smooth. I do have a slight puckering toward the cleavage area but it doesn't bother me too badly. I stopped using oils and went to mederma as the oils were giving me little pimply bumps on my girls! I was like oh no! I have never had issues with acne or pimples so I am guessing its just whats in the oils causing my skin to react. I was wondering if anyone else has had that issue.

Mederma is good as well though its very gel like. It does soak into the skin quickly. I will use it this month and see what changes that brings on and update u all. They are all good stuff so I don't think ur hurting to pick one or the other. Everyone seems to see results with these its just mederma is a bit pricey. Hopefully I will see just as good results with this as I did with bio oil and palmers! I hope all of u are doing well and taking care of ur girls!!! I will update again soon as I am almost getting close to being 4 months post op! I can not believe its been that long! Good luck to all of u are going thru ur surgery soon. You will not regret ur choice. Yes its a long recovery but in end after 4 months or so u will be so glad u made it thru! For those of u on the recovery side take care of yourself and rest. Happy healing!! xxxxxx
