Reassurance Post, Stay Positive!

Hey ladies, I just wanted to reassure all those that are in early recovery and that are unsure or unhappy with their results.

Wednesday (8th Feb) I will be 3 weeks post op. I can’t believe how much my boobs have changed in shape over these last 3 weeks, it’s amazing.

When I first saw my boobs as I came out of surgery I was a little unsure as they seemed a little small but I put it down to all the drugs and thought I’d wait to get home to have a proper look.

The day after surgery I took my ‘proper’ look and I hated them. They looked small and very cone shaped. Although I hated them I was trying to keep positive by reminding myself how I had non existent boobs originally and that this was at least a little better. I think we all have that image in our heads of what we expect them to look like and when we don’t see what we want to see it’s very easy to get down about it.

Anyway…I messaged some ladies on here who were all so very helpful and reassuring and advised I took progress pics each day which I did (highly recommend this).

I’m so over the moon with my results now, they are exactly what I wanted and I’ve attached a picture for you all to see how much they changed in just 2 weeks!

So if you are in your very early stages of recovery and are upset or unsure about your results, please keep positive, they WILL settle and they most definitely WILL change.

Fight through the pain and love your boobies!!!

Amen! <3 couldn’t agree more 🙂 xxx

Picture doesn’t want to attach!

Thanks faye just what i needed to hear, i’m 9 days post op and got very mixed emotions, mine feel really small at the minute x x

Thanks faye, I had mine yesterday and they don’t seem big enough at all. Fingers crossed they will fluff as people say x

Great post – please keep your post op pics coming for us newbies x

Thanks Faye. I have to say I love all your posts youncertainly have helped me a lot especially when I was researching and pre op!
I’m a constant worrier and things like this really help.
Your like a boob goddess of knowledge!
Thank you xxx

Ahh thank you ladies, it is tough and I honestly didn’t prepare myself fully. I had overs and from the research I did online I thought it was going to be a piece of cake. It was far from a piece of cake, I was an emotional mess during my first week of recovery. You’d think being in pain, unable to do anything for yourself, looking heavily pregnant from the meds (bloating) and feeling disgustingly filthy from not being able to wash properly was bad enough but to then dislike your new boobs on top of that was emotionally and mentally draining!

There were times I honestly thought ‘what the hell have I done’ and often wondered why I had spent so much money to feel the way I was feeling and disliked the new boobs I had been given.

All I can say is hang in there girls! You won’t feel rough forever, the bloating will go down, you will feel clean again and your new boobs will get bigger and you will love them.

Although I suffered the first week of my recovery I would do it all over again for these bad boys. It’s the unknowing that makes it difficult when recovering. I think if I knew they were going to look the way they look now I wouldn’t have been so bad and although others tell you they’ll get bigger and that you’ll soon love them its easy to let the negativity take over.

Thank you so much for this post.
I am 7DPO and feeling so emotional, also thinking why the hell have I done this as they look small.
The bloating is disgusting, I am bigger than my pregnant friend which I am struggling with as I am massive into my fitness.
Feeling ok in myself though not much pain etc. Just got to be patient but its so depressing at this early stage. I wasn’t told about the bloating so wasn’t fully prepared to feel like this 🙁 xxx

Boobs look amazing Faye, can definitely see how much they’ve changed.
Can I ask what cc did you go? They look really good xx

@rebeccalouisemarsh competely understand how you’re feeling. The bloating was a huge difficulty of mine, I felt so huge and ugly. I knew the drugs would cause bloating but I’ve never experienced bloating like it, it’s truly awful! Don’t stress though, the bloating will go. I drank lots of peppermint tea and ate lots of cucumbers and asparagus.

Good to hear your not in too much pain, did you have overs? I’m sure it was towards 2 weeks post op I started liking my boobs a bit. It was definitely around 2 weeks post op that I started noticing the changes and I’d constantly be taking pictures of them. xx

@bethaa thank you so much. I knew they’d change in shape but didn’t realise how much. I’m so happy with them and I’m totally in love with my side boob hehe.
I had 335cc teardrop shaped implants, over the muscle. xx

Hello ! Thanks for the reassuring message! I’m day 5 Post op and I’ve been exactly through the same- the emotional mess you were talking about (still am) I’ve been crying for days just on the though of having to redo it all over again in 10-15 years lol that’s how much the surgery experience traumatized me needless to mention that I as well wasn’t much satisfied with the outcome as I felt they were flatter than i had expected (I went for 335 cc overs) and i was 32 A (not filling the cup) I wanted 350 cc but the ps told me that 335 is the maximum i could take cause i had tight skin and not much breast tissue.. I think thats what made me doubt that the result will turn out 100% satisfactory… I underestimated the importance of emotional support cause neither my mom nor my bf (currently ex bf) have supported the idea, and I only went against their wish cause I really needed it it has been messing with my self esteem for so many years, I suffered with shopping for dresses and bikinis cause I never was able to fill them! Now I would do it all over again just to feel that satisfaction and self confidence boost knowing that they will look fabulous in time and will make me love my body despite that I was through hell in the recovery cause none of the close people to me were supportive of the idea..
