Yeah I've experienced bump-OUCH after having mine installed.  I suppose that's inevitable, need more space to maneuver than before and I'm not used to it.


Before


After

Wow Kendra, the before has a bit of a Madonna look. Kaitylynn, since I moved my back up camera to the front, I haven't run into anything.
Going for follow up this morning. I'll update the thread later today. They have started moving down, but still somewhat high.

With mine only a week away, you girls are scaring me with all this talk of bumping in to things!!

I found this waaay worth it.  We probably all experience bump-ouch after starting HRT but this is a sudden change in math.

Shower doors, yup!

40 days post op update. I went to Dr. Basner today and he said everything is as it should be. He checked for capsular contracture which I did not have. He said if it is going to happen it will usually happen by 3 months, so I scheduled a follow up. He asked about pain, numbness, and sensitivity. The sensitivity he explained was from the nerves stretching. The nerves come from the spine and with a big implant he said they are tender because they must stretch. That is mostly gone now. The numbness under my nipples happened because they cut a nerve during the procedure. This will take a year or so to have feeling return. He said I will still have more dropping and softening over the next 6 months to a year. They are still a bit high for my taste. I asked about  whether I needed to assist the dropping with any exercises, but he said no, not really. The scars are now hard to find as the breasts are low enough now that the scars are in the crease and hidden. I definitely feel like they have always been there except when near those bathroom sliders.

Hey Kendra, we have a curtain...but my work is really physical and I am going to have to figure out how to work again. 

Moni, that is great news!  I hope to have the same result :)

First day back to work today. I kind of wore a baggy shirt because I didn't want to act like I thought I was 'all that' my first day. I got a number of comments and questions. A few closer younger women want to see. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I don't have patience for, "I'm jealous cause yours are so perky." I told someone today, "It's a package deal! If you want to have the over 50 years of living in the wrong body/gender then we'll talk about you being jealous of my perky boobs." Tomorrow I will be less covered up I think. The cohesive gel implants so far are great for going braless. Although they don't bounce at all at this point. Later boob enthusiasts!

Great new Moni!  I have had several of my girlfriends at work ask me to send pictures so they can see...I think I understand sort of how you are not sure about that.

Kaitylynn, pictures are forever. Lol, maybe I'll  do it the old fashioned way, flash a truck driver on the highway and see if I get a horn blow. Heehee!
I talked to my friend today. She is gonna talk to two friends who went to same surgeon earlier than I did. She said that they describe more motion than I am seeing now. I would like to have some bounce. My question is if they went under the muscle like I did. I know they did cohesive gel like I did..
I did try a shirt on from my closet and wow, if I want to show them off, this is the shirt. Maybe I'll post a picture if I get a chance.

Now I understand why vehicle insurance companies set their rates based on gender.

Mine are still growing slightly (1 year HRT) so I went 350cc per side.  Numbers remind me of a mid size motorcycle, 700cc two cylinder which I think is fine for my frame.  Measured 36C/34D at Victoria's Secret yesterday - they don't use motorcycle terminology at that store.

Thank you Moni!

Hey Kendra, I had actually planned to have BA at 2017 as that would have been two years HRT and I thought I would be done physically developing...but that was not the case.  I chose to wait an extra year and so here it is!  I would suspect that you will continue to develop for some time more, especially considering GRS :)

I appreciate both of your answers and insights!  <3

I am over three years HRT so my growth is done especially with my genetics and age. Boob growth that is, I seem to be growing everywhere else. Good luck tomorrow. Boobs make the world  a better place.

7 weeks post op.

   I had a new sensation going braless today. As I walked, I could actually start to feel the weight of my breasts for the first time. I have noticed they are not nearly as high as they used to be also. I have been a little worried lately about the under the muscle, cohesive gel combination not allowing for as much motion/movement. I want to be able to feel that motion. Of course, the up side is the lack of sagging, the lack of much of a need to use a bra if I want, and the youthful firmness. No pain to report. Scars healing well. Using scar strips religiously.
