November Buddies

Hey b3cki, I haven't noticed any stretch marks, but I think maybe because my boobs have gone up and down so much with breastfeeding three babies they're already as stretched as they could be!! Have you tried bio oil? It's supposed to be really good - I've got a bottle but only remember to put it on every couple of days.

Spittingfairy, mine haven't dropped at all! Am so desperate for them to stop looking stuck on and start looking normal. They look great in clothes, but naked, they're just two round lumps! Can't wait for the D+F fairy xx

Ive noticed the original stretch marks I had under my boobs when I was pregnant are noticeable now. Didnt notice them before as I had a bit of sag and thought they were gone. Leftie is also slightly lower and boobs are starting to soften up nicely.

Finding it really difficult to get a black normal bra to fit. Boobs just dont seem to move to fit into normal bras. Got to get one to go under my xmas dress which has a low neckline or will have to wear stick ons to cover the nipples as the material is very silky and thin. Not sure this would work as I hope to be doing a lot of dancing and may get sore boobs due to lack of support. Been 3 days to the shops and give up. Anybody got any ideas.

Hiya Fran! I've got a soft non wired (obviously!) Isabella Oliver bra that I discovered in the back of my bra drawer - it's from breastfeeding/pregnancy days and it gives a fair amount of support but is very soft and stretchy. It's what I'm wearing if I need not to have massive sports bra straps peeking out of under whatever I'm wearing.

Might be a bit expensive to buy for just one or two wears, mind.

When are you allowed to wear normal bras? I was left with the instruction to wear sports bras for 6 weeks, but wasn't told when I could start wearing under wires (and I didn't think to ask) Am seeing PS next week, so will find out then.

Hope you're ok xxxxxxxx

Hey girls,

How is everyone? All happy with the new you?

I'm very happy! Boobies are still a bit uncomfortable - kind of stingy on the outsides (is that what's known as the sunburnt feeling?) but not sore. In fact I have been very lucky so far with my recovery - only on paracetamol from Day 2 and the occasional bag of frozen peas when they were still swollen.

Boobs are softening up a little every day and in my Debenhams sports bra (it's the kind that doesn't separate the boobs much) I get an awesome cleavage! YAY!!!!

Most fabulous thing EVER! (o)(o) xxxxxxxx

Thanks Cocogirl, I will keep that one in mind, pity it wasnt cheaper but if nothing else turns up I will buy it.

Opal eyes, mines were very stingy at side boobs too and that has just left me so hopefully not long to go for you too. The sunburnt feeling is more like a heat on the skin due to the stretching of the skin and very sensitive to the touch. XXX

Omg just wanted to say...Im so happy right now!!! this is the best thing I could have ever done.

How is everyone?...and thier new additions x x

welshvicci you look amazing!!! mine are starting to drop a bit and look loads more normal - i'm a very happy bunny too!! boobs are the best!

xxxxxx

agree!!

Boobieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!!!

Hey ladies!! seems like its been a long time since i've written something on here.. Hope everyone is doing well!

So just a quick update with my boobies:
STILL not the same size!! 1.5inches different.. Going to see my PS tomorrow for my 6week check up (CANNOT BELIEVE ITS GONE THAT FAST!!!!!!!!!!!!) anyways i think righty will need to be filled up more. Lefty projects more outwards but isnt as round :O righty is wide, round and doesnt project out. Also my nips are a few cm different too. VERY FRUSTRATING.. but i knew it would be hard to get the same due to my assymetry PREOP, im still happy with what i have now. Due to righty being the smaller boobie to start with it now has some rippling in the cleavage area, its not very noticeable but i can feel it. Other then that they are softening up nicely.

Would like to hear others' updates too if any of you have the time :)
Thanks
Xx

Hey babes,

How did your appointment go? What did your PS say?

I'm 5 weeks post op today! Feeling really good (especially since I went and got measured today and came out as a 32E!!!) and boobs are healing well. My scars look good and the boobs are starting to drop over the crease now so you can't see the scars straight on any more. Dropping nicely!!

Also starting to soften up a bit now, although I can't wait for them to be proper squashy lol ;-)

Hugs to all the November girls! xx

It was good!!! She said everything was looking great. Very happy with the result so far. I'll be going back in 3months time to see if they've evened out more (she took a pic to compare next app) IF they are still different by then, then she'll fill one up right there and then lol... But shes very confident it will happen on its own :) Im also allowed to wear WIRED bras now.. She actually said i SHOULD wear them as they hold my boobs into place and shape them nicely so i just bought a new bra and its 10F!!!! which i believe is 32F?? (will put a new pic up later) but VERY SHOCKED!!

WOW what a FAB size girl! you still are early too hehe. Thats nice to hear.. Mine still havent covered the scars as they are still pretty tight and havent relaxed much yet. SOOO in saying that im hoping that means they will get bigger once they soften more and drop?? lol.
Oh YES same with the squishyness hehe! I WANT SOME DAMN RIGHT JIGGLIES haha.

Very nice to hear you're doing sooo well girl!

Hi TSmith and opaleyes - glad things are good for you both. I've got appt tonight and am really hoping PS says I can go shopping for proper bras. The girls will be 6 weeks on Saturday. Have been taking photos every week to have a compare and contrast going and it's amazing how much they've changed already. They still feel firm, high and round, but when I look back, they've settled a lot. Still looking forward to them feeling squishy though!!

Big Christmassy hugs to you all xxxxx

Hi girls! I haven't written in here for ages either. Glad to hear you're all doing well though!

Mine are 6 weeks old today! I *think* they're healing OK,I don't have an appointment with PS until 8 weeks PO though. They haven't really changed much lately,and now I have proper "OMG they're shrinking!" thoughts.even though I measured and know they haven't! My lefty is still a bit lower,and has widened quite a lot,but righty is slowly catching up. I'm allowed to wear wires now,but haven't yet,other than for an hour or so. Plus I'm too skint to go bra shopping right now!

I can still feel my right implant move when I walk,it did stop,but I made the mistake of putting on a too loose bra overnight and it started moving again. :(

xx

oooh spittingfairy - when you say move, how much do you mean?? mine are beginning to jiggle a bit, but all as one thing (or maybe it's just cos i had no boobs to start with so the only things to jiggle are the implants!!) does righty move independently from lefty?

xxxxxxxx

Umm...they both "jiggle" now (lush!) but whereas my left boob just jiggles a bit when I walk,I can feel the right implant wriggling inside! I can feel that it's the implant not the breast if you get me.

It doesn't hurt,and it's not much (someone on here who's implant didn't adhere said that when she pushed the boob up the implant went right up top!),just a bit. Makes me feel a bit sick haha. I still hope it'll adhere,it seemed to,but that one night in a non-supportive bra has set it back! x

Hi girls,glad everyones getting on ok! Im 4 weeks on saturday and the bad boys seem to be softening on the top and sides abit,still feel a bit stingy at bottom though,sleeping on my side now but wake up worrying they might have slipped out of line Got stitches out last week so just keep rubbing E45 cream on scars which look fine,i dont go back for another check till may!,everyone else seems to have a 6 week one so dont know why this is!!! Dont know when i can get a bit of jiggy on with hubby,anyone know???it is nearly xmas after all at the min hes just oggling poor man,hes never seen me with boobs and weve been married for 32 years!! he cant wait for a good handfull!!!!xxx

sparkyleeds ~ you've waited four weeks???!!!! wow you have willpower! there's a thread on here somewhere about how long people waited, but my dh was after me about a week post op! we were very careful with them though!! xxxx

spittingfairy ~ have you seen your ps about it? i've never felt anything like that, sorry, so i can't be much help. is it maybe just part of the d+f process?? xxxxxxxxx

coco - how did your appointment go hun? Glad to hear you are healing well and starting to jiggle! What a great feeling :) xx

spittingfairy - Sorry to hear you are worried. I'd contact your PS babe, it's probably all very normal but definitely best to put your mind at ease. Have you put a post about it on here? Other girls may have had the same thing early days xx

sparkly - lmao! I love that you've kept him waiting! You are more than fine to go ahead and jig away, just remind him to be GENTLE!!! Mr Opal is loving a good grope but tends to get carried away.... xx

Tsmith - didn't mean to hit send ^ and leave you out!!

Great your appointment went so well and you can wear normal bras now - I am hoping my PS says the same next week! Also great she can just top you up then and there if she needs to! Fabulous! You are a lovely size and looking great in your new av. xx

Hi Opal, thanks for asking, the appt was great, I cannot recommend Mr Ragbir highly enough. He's just so lovely. He's said I can wear normal bras, and that the underwire might help flatten the scars a bit - they're still pink and raised, not badly and frankly, the only person who sees them is DH and he doesn't care, but I'm pleased he's after the best possible outcome for me. Have been to Bravissimo today for a couple of bras and came out in a 30F!!! Having a big glass of vino right now to help me come to terms with it!!!! Have you been proper bra shopping yet?

xxxxxx

spittingfairy, how's the jiggling going today? Hope it's settled after a bit of bra support xxxxxxx
