^lol my guy keeps asking me for pics incessantly so I took one of me in a big, lump sweater where you basically can't see shit... needless to say his response has pretty much assured me I won't be losing any clients!
I'm geting concerned as I honestly feel NO better today whatsoever... the pain is basically the same, if I lie back somewhat on my back and just stay in that position it's fine, but once I move from there, fuck it hurts to breathe, talk, urinate, cough, anything that puts the slightest pressure on my chest. I got the surgery done at noon on Thursday so I feel like I should see an improvement? I've noticed however that this bra is INSANELY tight, like cutting into my skin, basically-- but that's how my PS did it. Is it supposed to be that tight or should I loosen it up after a few days? I've looked at my boobs and no sign of infection, I just feel like there should be improvement....

^^^ You should start 'turning the corner' on pain levels any time now ( what has it been ... 72 hours since the surgery ? )
In regard to the tight surgical bra, I would speculate that the purpose is to take the 'weight' of your implants off of your incisions. This is important when 'dissolving' stitches have been used so that 'travelling' patients don't have to return to the doctor for stitch removal a couple of weeks later. Unlike surgical thread, 'dissolving' stitches lose strength every day ... and will 'disappear' altogether after 3 weeks or so. Thus its extra important that the 'weight' of your implants doesn't generate stress on your 'dissolving' stitches until the healing process allows your body tissue to regain enough strength to bear the 'weight'.
While relieving the 'weight' of your implants is important, if the surgical bra is SO tight that it is cutting off circulation to the breast skin that's not good either. On the other hand, temporary post-op swelling may be responsible for the additional tightness, and the doctor likely intended the surgical bra to help prevent additional swelling from putting additional stress on your 'dissolving' stitches. In the case of 'local' patients, 'drains' are sometimes installed to prevent additional post-op swelling from occurring ... but, like surgical thread, drains require another trip to the doctor for removal.
Regardless, that swelling should naturally start to slowly reduce itself about now ... as should the pain level. I'd suggest calling your doctor on Monday morning to discuss ...

So ladies, if any of you are ever traveling on Eurostar and can't make it with your bags just ask for help! The driver from the clinic carried my bags in for me, said something to the woman behind the counter; and I have an assistant helping me through check-in and customs and now he's storing my bags on the overhead. Thank god cause I can barely carry my wallet.

yes ... if the pain went away almost immediately it's likely that the super tight surgical bra was pinching a nerve or something !

how much did you end up paying, if you don't mind me asking?
Since Audrey is travelling, I'll try to put all of the 'pieces' together which she posted about earlier. She can obviously correct me if I'm wrong ...
- basic surgery cost was about 5,000 Euros ...
- total surgery related budget, with additional money for 4 nights of accommodations near the clinic, Eurostar tickets, and other expenses, etc. was something like US$9,000
this was still less expensive than the 'going rate' charged for BA's in the London area where Audrey now lives.
As a side note, the wide variation in 'going rate' charged for BA's in different European countries also applies to the 'going rate' charged for BA's in different US states. Generally speaking, in all cases, the higher the local cost of living / average incomes / tax rates are, the higher the 'going rate' charged by plastic surgeons is going to be. This is why doctors in LA or Chicago or NYC charge ~$10,000, while doctors in some states charge $5,000.
And, as Audrey decided to do herself, it's often significantly less expensive for girls living in high cost of living areas to travel to less expensive states / countries to have their plastic surgery procedures done at a much lower price. I did this myself on more than one occasion, travelling to Florida and Texas to avoid the ultra high prices charged in the NYC 'tri-state' area. It's also often possible to save $2-3,000 without travelling out of state by deciding to drive a couple of hours to a smaller, lower cost of living city outside of LA or Chicago or NYC to have plastic surgery procedures done.
Also, going with saline implants rather than silicone implants generally means another ~$1,000 cost savings.
As Audrey and many other dancers and camgirls who get BA's wind up stressing over, another de-facto expense involved is the 'lost income' potential of not being able to dance or cam for some 4 weeks during the post-op recovery period. In some cases, this 'lost income' cost exceeds the costs of the BA itself. Fortunately, in every case I have ever heard of, the increased dancing or camming earnings potential resulting from the BA 'pays for' the month's worth of lost income, as well as the cost of the BA, in fairly short order. But, to avoid the stress of not being able to pay bills while recovering from surgery, girls should really have enough money set aside to not only cover the costs related to the plastic surgery procedure itself, but also enough additional money set aside to cover a month's worth of rent, utilities, groceries, etc.

Melonie, I took the bra off to take a shower and, even though he put the same size implant in my boobies, one is slightly bigger than the other! Is that normal? Is it just more swollen?
Newb-- here's the breakdown, it's basically what Mel said:
surgery- 2,750 pounds with meds and a driver to the airport
travel- i ended up spending almost 400 pounds on travel as I had to buy a new ticket because i stayed longer
hotel- around 400 pounds
bra- had to get a special bra because of the size of the implants on my frame, they made me put an 80 pound deposit down which i get back when i return it in six weeks
food- probably around 100 pounds since I had to eat at the hotel restaurant
So the total was around 4,000 pounds or $8,500 I think. But that's not including the money I had to save up-- I calculated 6 weeks off from work, if I want to go back sooner I can, but I didn't want to be a position where I needed to go back, so I saved up 2,100 pounds. I would have liked to have had more than that but I also had to come up with around 7,500 pounds so I could move into a new place (4 months rent + deposit up front)-- at least when I'm deciding when to come back from work I won't have to worry about rent for a bit! I basically haven't taken a day off in 3 weeks and I've been working 6 days week for 3 months. But I have to say, I would do it again!!! New boobs + my own place = totally worth it
If you were to get a BA in London you would probably pay around 5,000 or 6,000 pounds-- I went to Brussels partly because it was cheaper and also partly because I've seen more gels with good BAs who got them done in Europe than got them done in the UK. That said, when I get my nose done in the winter or next summer I won't be going to Europe because there was a slight language barrier with my doctor. I'm happy with the treatment though and I would recommend him-- I just really wouldn't recommend planning to leave the day after surgery. I think the implants were more painful for me than others (starting to feel more normal now) because 525 ccs on my little frame is a LOT, but even traveling on the 4th day was VERY rough for me! There's absolutely not fucking way I could've made it earlier.

Yes this is quite common. Nothing to worry about for a couple of weeks at least. Always happened to my own right breast, since I'm right handed. Stronger muscle = more swelling.
I'm glad to hear that you're finally set with your new 'real' apartment. Hopefully now that you're 'home' you can truly rest, relax and recover.

I'm tempted to do mine at transform or mya in London because I don't know if I can handle the journey back. All the boobs at transform I've seen are good and I could probably haggle it down to £3500.
Melonie
08-31-2014, 12:49 PM
^^^ well, having a BA done 'locally' does have it's advantages !!! The doctor is nearby if a sudden complication should crop up in the future. You can have friends or family go with you ... without having to pay for a second ticket or them having to take several days off work etc. Ultimately it is an individual decision based on the 'quality' of local surgeries available versus 'going price'.
As to London surgeons, a couple of 'acquaintances' have gone to Dr. Singh at Transform and were very happy with the results. However, it's highly doubtful you'll get Dr.Singh himself to do the surgery for 3,500 pounds all included.
newb2
08-31-2014, 01:02 PM
I talked to a girl who had worked at mya for 3 years and she said I could go there with £3500 and say I'm willing to pay now and they could book me in for the next day. I don't know how true this information is or if it will work at transform.
Melonie
08-31-2014, 03:35 PM
^^^ With that sort of a discount arrangement, it's probable that you'll wind up having your surgery done by whichever doctor has a 'gap' in the next day's schedule. This is sort of like Kayak.com finding discount hotel rooms on short notice due to cancelled reservations, etc. In other words, doctors who have to come in tomorrow to do one or two surgeries anyhow are happy to add another surgery at a discount price ... since the 'reduced' patient billing for the additional surgery is 100% profit with near zero additional hassle on the surgeon's part ( an extra hour, or less, in the O.R. ), since the anesthetist and surgical nurses are already there and already being paid by the hour whether they're in the O.R or in the 'lounge' drinking coffee, etc.
Not getting your choice of plastic surgeons isn't necessarily a 'bad' thing ... given that ALL UK surgeons must undergo an array of certifications. However, when it comes to talent like Dr. Singh ... who does work on 'A-List' clients ... it's extremely doubtful that he is in need of patients to 'fill' the next day's schedule. But you never know !

08-31-2014, 05:20 PM
The cheapest I've heard in the UK is my flatmate, she got hers done at Mya for 4,000 but that was 4 years ago. I think they're the cheapest. They look OK I guess.
Honestly girl, this isn't something you want to just get the best deal on.. I've seen SO many bad boob jobs by board certified plastic surgeons, if yours don't look 100% you're just gonna regret it and have to spend money on a redo anyway. I picked Dr Plovier not because of the price or the convenience, shit I wanted to get these done in June and had to wait until almost September cause his schedule was so full!--but because he's come so highly recommend to me. And I dunno, for me personally I would be super uncomfortable just getting whatever doctor was free that day, I communicated back and forth with Dr Plovier for months, had multiple consults...
If you want to go by money, you're going to get a better surgeon for less than 4,000 in Europe I imagine. Also, it's really not that bad coming back if you waited 4 days, I think I would have been fine tomorrow, and if I had booked the whole thing myself in advance, I probably could have stayed for 4/5 days for 3,000 including the surgery. When I originally started looking around I was against the idea of going to Belgium because I assumed it couldn't be as good, but the ones done in Belgium actually look better to me and I was surprised at how few girls seem to get them done here or even recommend surgeons here. Everyone I know has either gone to the US or the EU!
Anyway... thanks Melonie, I totally freaked out when the bra came off. Fuck, my boobs are hurting from all that moving today! Hopefully a good night's sleep gets them back to where they were. I think I'm gonna go off the heavy duty pain meds tomorrow.

I have seen bad boob jobs by both Transform and Mya, my friend used to work for Transform, and did hers in Brazil, Dr Singh and a few other surgeons I have heard girls talking about but the only good UK boob Jobs I seen are from girls who already had saggy boobs, all girls with the small firm boobs who did them here I seen had bad ones, all the best jobs I seen here did them in Brussels I have met 3 who went to Dr Poliver all great jobs, In will deffo consult with him if im in London when I do my boobs.

09-01-2014, 08:58 AM
^will definitely post one later on this week, not mobile enough to take one yet! Traveling has definitely set me back, I feel horrible today. Dr Plovier is a great surgeon, that's why I was willing to be lax about just going with what he wanted CC wise and even though I'm a bit bigger than I wanted I feel like he wouldn't have done it if it wouldn't look good! I'm cursing him right now for all this pain though.... I will say that his bedside manner leaves a bit to be desired, but I think that's just his attitude, and possibly a cultural thing as I didn't find Belgium people to be much friendlier than Parisian. So if he's a little cold to you don't take it personally because he seems to be that way with everyone from what I've read. But being a good surgeon is more important than being friendly!
The nurses and receptionists are really good as well, there just is a bit of a language barrier there so make sure you're very clear and reconfirm everything-- there was a mix up about my hotel when I got there, they worked everything out and apologized, but French is their first language so best to just reconfirm. And the driver was so nice! He picked me up on his day off (Sunday) and could have just dropped me off at the station but saw how much I was struggling so carried all my stuff to the front desk, helped me print out of my ticket and worked it out with the Eurostar people to carry my bags for me (and when I got to London I got to skip the customs line and they helped me all the way to the cab-- although they did give me a very strange look for not being able to carry two tiny little bags!)

I'm going back and forth between Dr Singh (I've heard great things about him and also like the fact he's a 'big boob man' and not afraid to go very big as I would like 500+), Beaucare and BeClinic. I am very tempted to just save up more money so I don't have to go through the journey to be honest. I really need to see how much money I'm making in Denmark in the next few months because I really would like it to be done in January when work is dead. All the options are really making my head spin. You guys are right though. I'm def going to just stick with the surgeon I think is the best, regardless of price.

09-01-2014, 01:20 PM
^I'm at 525 CCs and I know a girl who went to 625 with Dr Plovier so he's definitely not afraid to go big! And with my frame I think a lot of surgeons would have been nervous with that size. I was more hesitant about my boobs being big than he was.. The reason Beaucare has a good reputation is because Dr Plovier used to work there but he opened Beclinic on his own, so I would definitely go with him if you are going to the Brussels route.
Honestly just have a consult with everyone you're interested in having do them and see who you like the best. I wish I had met with more doctors, I just felt pretty confident with him from the beginning. And start on it soon cause it took me over 2 months just to get a consult with Dr Plovier.

09-01-2014, 02:06 PM
I agree with Audrey about not wanting to go with the best deal! To anyone considering a boob job. I know it's tempting when you just want bigger boobs so bad you feel like any decent doctor will do, esp. if you can save up faster for the cheaper ones... BUT when it's all said and done you want to have the very beat working on your body. A less experienced doctor may do a great job on breasts that are 'easy' to work on (no lift required, non tuberous tissue, etc) and an amazing doctor may struggle w a complicated case, but no mater what I'd want the super experienced well recommended doctor.
I was really surprised to find that some of the doctors I ended up liking the most were located in areas that you wouldn't expect. I originally planned to do mine in Miami, but aside from Dr. Revis I wasn't too impressed w anyone there. I ended up paying more to go to a doctor not in a group practice who operates in a hospital (not in office surgical suite) bc that's who I clicked with. I didnt consult w anyone else except them either. Not sure if that's always the smart thing but sometimes going w your gut works.

I've known a few girls who went to him, 3 who went to Beaucare, 1 who went to the Singelberh Clinic and one who went to Elzyea or something. The Elzyea one looked REALLY bad. The Singelberg one looked really good, I was debating between him and Dr Plovier. 2 of the Beaucare girls looked great but the third said hers had bottomed out and she had to go back so that freaked me out.

09-01-2014, 03:20 PM
^^ I found him through internet research, very random! I just googled stuff like "best breast augmentation in (various cities in the SE) " and he was one that came up. I wanted to go to someone who specialized in BAs. Originally I was impressed by his credentials and photos, but it was his reassuring staff and consultation that made me pick him. Very cautious and concerned with the reputation of his work. He's in private practice alone, which I also liked. I've never met anyone who went to him because everyone I know went in Florida, but the only Dr. in Fl whos work I liked was Dr. Revis. I took a risk and went w this doctor instead but very happy I did. Aside from BAs he does reconstructive surgery on faces and list his other specialty as rhinos which I thought was interesting bc the surgeries are so different. He had won an award for best BAs in town though so I just got that. I almost did a revision rhino but I want someone who specializes in REVISIONS specifically. It's sooo easy to screw up that surgery! I'm scared to even do it but I think I'll be sooo happy if I do. Mine isnt awful but I told them I wanted barely any change originally at the primary rhino and now I want a BIG change.

There are two things that are steering me a little away from Beaucare; the journey to and from Brussels and I've also heard that Dr Van Zele doesn't like to do big implants. Also, Dr Van Zele doesn't do the consultation in London (he has someone else do it) which kind of puts me off. I don't know if it's worth it when I have personally seen his work and liked it. I'm looking more into Dr Singh as I really would like at least 500cc+ even preferably about 600-700cc, or even more (bear in mind I am a 32D already), I just don't want it to look TOO fake, like basketballs on my chest.
What is also on my mind is that if something does happen and I have to go back, I will have to go back all the way to Belgium to have them looked at.
And actually I've wanted a boob job for years but was scared of it looking too fake and then I met my friend at work and her boobs convinced me straight away. xD They were done at elzyea but it was about 9 years ago. :/ So I'm guess it's gone down hill from then.

Ladies, when dos the chest tightness go away???? The pain is not much today, it's just the tightness of the implants on my chest that bothers me! And when can I lift up my arms to do my hair and whatnot? Today is day 5/6 and I thought I would feel almost normal by now.
Melonie
09-02-2014, 03:37 AM
^^^ agree with Audrey_K on this one. If you're looking for ~7-800+ cc, having the surgery close to home ... and using a doctor with a well known history of doing 'big' implants ( like Dr. Singh ) are MAJOR considerations. Dr Singh also does 'expander' implants ... which are 'guaranteed' to get you to 700+ cc in a single surgery.

As I've heard many people much smarter than me say.
DON'T CHEAP OUT ON SURGERY! plain and simple.
If you can find an awesome doc in an area that allows her/him to undercut big city docs, awesome(like Dr Revis in the US).
Don't go with cheaper just because it's cheaper do your damn homework or you'll end up with cement in your tits, or some nutty GP giving you a local and trying to stuff an implant in while you're awake! Yes, both examples really happened to people.
Now Audrey! Congratulations sweetie. Hoping the healing is happening smoother than ever!
From what you've been saying, I think Mel was right a few pages back when she said you'll be missing the swelled size within a month!
Really I hope you end up in love with you beautiful new twins!

Mine took a while to go away completely, but it gets progressively better every week. I'd say mine was REALLY BAD the first week, the second week it was badly uncomfortable, but not awful, and the third week I could do pretty much everything with moderate tightness except lift really heavy things, and lift my arms really high without feeling something weird. It's been a few years, but I remember I did not just bounce back up 1-2 weeks later completely normal like people said I would. I could have normal sex and work though so just hang in there you will be okay. Being on top during sex was hard for a while though because when you lean forward on your arms the pec muscles tighten. Just try not to lean forward and don't support with your arms if you're on top I guess? lol
I remember about a month later going to class and I still hurt when I carried my school bag or sat up typing for a good period of time. The tightness comes back from typing for some reason. It kinda felt good sometimes though. Like being sore after a work out? Now days it only happens to me when I actually do work out. I still get the tightness. I almost regretted getting unders, but I think they're better for smaller girls so I don't actually regret it. Working out my upper body hard core isn't that important to me.

but god my back is killing me!
Even though your new additions only weigh an extra pound each, this is still enough to throw off your center of gravity. Your body will adjust. When you're feeling better, back strengthening exercises help tremendously. Without the back exercises, with my own implants weighing about 9 pounds each, I'd be 'crippled' by now !
bacardi14
09-02-2014, 09:09 AM
Oh man I could've used a muscle relaxer back then! Are doctors more lenient with prescribing in the UK and/or EU? They've gotten really strict here in the southeast (and probably other places too) because of all the pain killer overdoses and stuff.
Surprisingly I didn't have back pain from the implants, but I did have back pain from sleeping upright on the couch. That was the worst part I think because I have a hard time getting comfortable to sleep no matter what.
Did your doctor give you any stipulations about wearing bras once you're healed? Mine said I should always wear a bra always because it helps support the skin and implants, but I HATE bras and I normally only wear them to work. It's weird how some doctors say not to wear a bra to help them drop more, and then others are super strict and think you should always wear one to double protect their work. I've had people say that no doctor confident in their work would say you have to always wear a bra, but that isn't the impression I got. I just felt like my doctor gives people the most strict rules because he's so OCD and because he probably knows people won't follow the rules exactly but at least they'll be careful. Idk. I just feel guilty sometimes because I never wear one.

09-02-2014, 11:18 AM
^not sure, on the breast implant forums I've read it seems like a lot of doctors prescribe benzos. My PS only gave me four, but my doctor in the UK easily prescribed me 15 today.
He told me I had to wear my support bra for 30 days... I don't understand why you wouldn't want your patient to wear one? I can' even imagine how much pain I would be in one without it! Sometimes it pinches and pushes into my skin and hurts, but when I take it off it hurts even more. The one I have right now is a special one too, I had to pay a deposit for me cause they want it back afterwards, he said I needed it because the 525ccs are big on my frame. I dunno about after, I honestly wear bras 24/7, like even when I sleep, so I probably will anyway, I just want to go back to my push-up underwires!!

I think I want around an F or a G. I don't really go by cup size, rather CC and photos I've found online. But you guys are right though. If I do end up going that big, I don't think I could do the journey back from Belgium. :/
Melonie
09-02-2014, 05:26 PM
^^^ if you KNOW that you want to go that big, consider 'expander' implants. They can be put in at say ~400cc, and then after recovering from surgery they can have another ~100cc added every few weeks until you reach the size you're happy with ... up to ~1000cc + potentially. This avoids much of the tissue trauma of attempting to go from zero to 700cc in one shot.

^yeah, my body feels like it's about to burst at 525, I can't even imagine what 700 ccs would be like! I don't even want to imagine it... I've read a few threads on justbreastimplants.com where girl have done that big and it seems like it's pretty damn painful and most doctors won't really go above 650 on your first BA. But I still think even 600 would get you pretty big, I mean I was a 32b and there's a girl on justbreastimplants who's the same height/weight as me, was the same bra size beforehand, and and got 525 HP and she's a 28 F/32 DDD, that's a 4 size increase with just 525. But if you look at the video Melonie posted they show how the expander implants work.

Men are such fucking hypocrites! This guy I have been dating for the past month now came over today to see how I was doing, he's said he doesn't like fake boobs and didn't want me to go super big, like a DD. Despite the fact that I was wearing sweatpants, a baggy sweater, no make up, and even though I did show him my boobs they are still totally swollen and weird looking, I had to practically push him off of me three times as he claimed he had read online that you can have sex 72 hours after surgery. He has NEVER been that frisky before, even when I've come to his place in a push up bra, heels and low cut top!
I'm definitely not worried about my clients after that. ::)
The only thing that is making me a bit nervous is that there are a few threads about me on client forums now and a couple of my regular clients posted that I was getting my boobs done, and now I have multiple people going on about how they better look amazing, some saying I better go huge others saying I better not go to big and ruin my petite frame, and others saying they better feel natural... but everyone saying they are super excited to book and see them. So I'm not really worried about it being slow when I get back, but I know that even at 5/6 weeks they are still going to not look that great and be a bit hard, swollen, and odd looking! So I don't want to go online to find people trash talking my boob job just because they're stupid men who don't know shit about BAs and don't understand it takes months for them to finish settling!

That is so normal! You're actually more symmetrical than most. You'll be fine in a month.

I'm really trying to have faith in my PS and the healing process, but I have to admit I kind of hate the way they look like right now... the way that they drastically POP out so much and are SO HIGH UP! I'm like maybe he did just go way too big and these will never fit with my petite frame? And fucked up and made one bigger than the other... And I feel like this bra that he's having me wear is just adding to it! I want them to goddamn drop a bit and for my nipples not to be so pointy!

and that did nothing... ugh
I just don't understand why they're popping up like that literally two inches below by collar bone? it looks totally bizarre.
How long did it take yours to feel soft? Because mine are like rock hard melons right now, which is why my nipples are pointing out so severely.

It was very gradual but I'd say they started feeling okay a few weeks out and great maybe a month and a half out. They're still getting softer almost three months later. I'm jiggling one as we speak, lol.
As far as the collarbone thing goes, it's so normal. It has to do with muscle/tissue tightness effectively flattening the implant and pushing the volume to the top of the pocket. Mine was hideous. I'll PM you my day four pic which is exceptionally horrifying due to extreme bruising on top of frankenboob. I can see where you'd be nervous, but I would have considered myself lucky if mine looked like yours!

^thanks, that makes me feel a bit better!
Do you think they'll be down at normal level by week 6? Or at least not so much so that my clients are gonna do a double take when my top comes off???

The transition from week two to week four was huge for me. I would have felt totally comfortable going back to work at six weeks but I had a spit stitch and didn't want to expose it to club bacteria. You should be fine by then.

^yeah, I guess I'm just actually becoming a little more nervous about going back to escorting than stripping actually. At least no one is grabbing my boobs as a stripper and gonna post nasty shit online about them feeling hard.. I seriously hate this practice of reviewing online, a client saw me a month/month and a half ago and he went to my thread that was full of positive to say that, god forbid, my calves were not perfectly shaved, and OH NO! my fake tan looked like it was coming off. Call the escorting police!
I'm trying to find the best way to word to my clients that they need to be gentle and not bang the shit out of me so much that my boobs are shaking and an implant gets ruptured or knocked out of place. I'm thinking just take it light and try to stick to regulars or at least clients I've seen once before for the first two weeks, because I think six weeks is definitely going to be my absolute limit before my savings just get so low I'll be too anxious not work, having to stay in Belgium those extra days cost me a cool $500 when I calculated it afterward!
And I can already hear the "I want a titty wank" requests to which I will be responding, no but for being a total prick you can now just go wank yourself off... I'm almost wondering if it might be better to go back to stripping first, it's just a much easier transition to return to escorting.

Stripping might be better to start with if they aren't looking awesome at six weeks (edit: not months!) because the lighting can disguise them, but I seriously doubt any normal sex act would damage your implants. The only thing I can think of is aggressive handling before your doctor clears you and that would only damage the pockets in the worst case.

^yeah, I think they just feel so horribly sore and fragile right now with even my foot coming down a bit too hard on the floor making them shake a bit and hurting sooo much that I can't imagine them ever feeling secure and normal... I've asked a few escorts how long they've waited and have just gotten such varying responses with girls telling me they were back in 2 weeks and others saying I'm insane to be thinking about going back any sooner than 3 months that I can't get a good reading. But I feel like six weeks must be a good turning point, since my support bra will have been off for two weeks, I'll be allowed to sleep on my side, etc...

Wow, they look great! Honestly, they're exactly what you were asking for in terms of size and your frame. And they haven't even dropped yet, imagine how beautiful they'll look once they've settled and fluffed!
This thread makes me want to jump on the bewb job bandwagon.

^^^ for a week or so post-op, they look absolutely fantastic. Agreed that you will see a MAJOR improvement in the excessive upper pole fullness, and overall firmess, between week 2 and week 4. By week 6 you ( and they ) should be looking and feeling good enough to return to escorting if you want to.
If you want to 'play it safe' regarding escort customer 'contact', there is always the option of going back to the strip club after week 4 ... and postponing a return to escorting until week 8 or more. This would allow you a much greater degree of control regarding 'contact' with your new additions, would also allow you to 'disguise' any imperfections under club lighting ( plus avoiding the possible generation of negative escort reviews ), while at the same time creating some positive cash flow at least a couple of weeks sooner.
