I used to admire those big #4 guys, silly me! Now I see them in a new light and might run for my life if I happen to see one someday, hah, hah (I'm only half joking, it'll be more like no way). I may have to find me a #1 or #2 boyfriend.
Actually #4 will be nothing to you in a couple of months, youll want something as large as #10 (Thanks Renate) Tehehehe.

I wonder if the nurses have a special technique to help you when it comes time to try dilator #4. You might want to ask, your less than two months out now. Maybe dilator #3 preps you enough. Let's hope.
You don't need much help, your skin natural stretches to handle #4, it might be a little discomforting but this is why your healing everything in such smaller sizes that nothing rips when it comes to #4. You'd be surprise how many guys out there beat the #4 girth. I have seen my share of monsters.

I am loving my BA, I think they are the perfect size for me right now. Any larger and the skin would have been so tight it would have been miserable. The pain from the tightness and stretched skin is gone already. It was very intense the first week, like my chest was on fire. Even the aureola and nipples were stretched and painful, who would have thought. The fire feeling was most focused there. Especially noticeable lying in bed at night ...and most intense when waking and getting up from bed when the blood rushes. I couldn't tolerate a sheet over them, even with my nightgown. Now, I just have soreness all over from the muscle, which is still healing. It's much better now.
Again here, I went through Breast Augmentation (375cc/390cc) making them a D which grew into a Double D which is still proportioned to my body. My doctor went submuscular and I was in discomfort for nearly 3 weeks when suddenly they dropped! after that happen, although I had some discomfort I was finally able to use my arms with the chest muscles a bit.
SUPPORT is very very important for the first 3 months, then you can free lance them just like I do and stay all perky!, It for sure feels great to sleep on them!, it's an extra cushion, and my bf sure likes them! I have Saline's and they are very very soft!

You could certainly be back at work with only the muscle discomfort and skin tightness two weeks out. I think even one week would be okay, but there is more pain then. It may depend somewhat on how stretched the skin is. But, I only have my own experience to go by. If it was only the breasts done, I would definitely be back to work now.
You have to remember that anytime you get breast implants, even if would of been smaller, your skin stretches. How we are genetically made with skin elasticity is wonderful, the skin can stretch, then grow cells to accomadate the new stretch.

The breasts are dropping slowly and the initial swelling has gone down or disappeared. Viewed straight on in a mirror, they look like normal breasts on my body, which is a great feeling. I don't see my old body any more in a mirror. Viewed from the side, they are still a little too high, too full on the top. The skin is adjusting and no longer tight like at first. And the breasts are softening. The areola and nipples are not too small, they look good with the size I got.
My areola's are huge and so are my nipples, once all swelling is gone, I felt like the breast were no longer foreign objects but rather a long time part of me. (That will be your ahhhhhhh goal) youll know once that happens. I am going on one year, 3 months post op and I can run run! (LOL make sure to wear a job suit that holds stuff because you know... lolllll)

When I look in the mirror, my shoulders no longer stand out to me. I look more balanced in my opinion.
The inframammary fold or crease isn't developed well yet since the skin is still tighter and the breasts still dropping. That will come in time, months yet.
Indeed it goes come same for me, it used to be just round, then the breast "Dropped" fully and caused the natural gravity occurence of the "Fold"
However, apprently some girls have complained in Thailand with their breast augmentation of never dropping and being hard as a rock.

Cleavage will depend on the bra I wear. Because of the width of my sternum there is only so much Dr. B. can do. He recommended the cohesive round smooth gels to give me fullness and as much cleavage as possible. If I push them slightly together, the cleavage is good, much, much greater than before the BA. I'm sure once the skin is not so tight it will be better. My chest width is 37". I imagine a smaller girl will have an easier time with cleavage.
Um, I barely have to squeeze mine togheter to get cleavage! It's just there... (private message me to add on msn, and i may show ya)

Now that my mind is adapting to seeing the breasts on my body, I agree with Juliekins, I could have gone bigger. Dr. B. tells me that is normal for girls. Once we get used to the look, we want more, not realizing that what was added was significant already.
I actually was told by Dr. Sliwin to go bigger then my original choice because I wouldn't of liked the size I choosed, I took his advice and he couldn't be more right.

A milestone a few months out will be running, which I miss immensely. I will have to get a good support bra and see how it goes. Will probably write a post on my experience.
Read up incase you missed it
