Currently waiting to go down to threate Started by: Dani

Good luck Dani ?
Becca how are your boobs settling now are you pleased with them? x

Glad your not feeling too bad coming from theatre. Hope this time you’ll get the result you were hoping for first time round xx

Lovely to hear that your boobs are settling nicely and your fully back to being able to do all the normal things. What size are you measuring now at 7 weeks post op?
Mine are doing really well thank you, the left is still lagging behind a bit, I’m 5 weeks post op tomorrow like you I can’t believe where the weeks have gone they have flown by x

So far has it felt easier for you the second time around, Dani? I guess it must help to know exactly what to expect.

Ruth I was measured at 6 weeks as a 30F or 32E (I was measured in 4 different shops – Marks & Spencer said 32E/F, Bravissimo said 32E, Victoria’s Secret said 32E/F and Boux Avenue said 30F) but the nurse told me that they have a bit of dropping and fluffing still to do, so I’m going to wait get measured again at 12 weeks to see if there’s any changes before I go absolutely crazy buying bras! I’ve bought quite a few to see me through to that point, though!

My left was also much slower to settle. It has sat a little bit higher and a little bit tighter all along. It’s probably only really now, between 6 and 7 weeks, that it’s starting to catch up properly. Even now they are still changing so much every day, it’s crazy!

I did! I was a bit concerned that I still had a small scab left on one of my incisions after 6 weeks as I thought they should have all healed already m by that point, and so I sent a photo over to my nurse on Thursday last week. She then rang me and asked me to come in as she suspected that there could be an undissolved stitch underneath the scab which could be preventing it from healing. Well I went in to see her yesterday and guess what, the scab had already healed and disappeared within those few days in between! So she just checked over my incisions and told me all is fine and no need to worry! So I was panicking for nothing after all! She said it’s possible that there was a stitch still there that may have just come off along with the scab, but the main thing is that I’m right where I wanted to be now – I just wanted all the scabs gone and to be left with nice normal scars so that I could feel like my old self again.

E/F is really good, but I’m not going to lie, I do hope they grow some more still! Hopefully when I get measured again at 12 weeks I will have gained another cup size or so! But I am happy with what I have now, it is just the biggest improvement from where I was before!

Dani, I hope you’re feeling good this morning!
