For you ladies that are a DDD+, can you shop at VS? I've nothing better to do at the moment since I'm still semi-bed ridden and my pain meds are making sleepy, so I'm bookmarking possible outfits to purchase for work. I buy most of my escorting outfits from yandy or VS-- I'm assuming I'll probably be a 32DDD. But I don't see a DDD on their website?
Also, for you ladies who are a DD + and petite-- I'm 5'5 and weigh have been fluctuating between 110-115, I hope to be down to 110 by the end of the month-- what size do you go with when it's a s/m/l situation? My favorite thing to wear for escorting is teddies/basques, and yandy has the best selection of cheap ones, but it's all s/m/l. I've always been a s because of my hips/height/waist, but I don't know if I can fit these giant boobs in a small anymore?

The only way I could shop at VS is if I sister sized up from a 32DDD to a 34DD or sometimes even 36DD, which means I wouldn't be getting band support. My implants don't feel heavy, but I just don't feel right leaving such a big investment unsupported in the long run. The only thing I'd ever buy from them would be something hot for work since bras do get a little less sexy in bigger sizes. From what I understand you should have better luck with bras in the UK.

Hey ladies, been reading this thread with interest :) for a while now. So I've decided I want to get mine done as well. I'm a 34C at the moment, but my boobs sag a lot for my age (I'm only 23) and one is bigger than the other. I'm looking to move up to a D or even the smaller end of a DD cup. I'm a camgirl, so I feel it would help my business, as well as just my general confidence. Plus I want sexy boobs lol.
What I want to know though is this. I am very active, I am a competitive pole dancer which means I do a lot of very intensive pole work a lot of the time, I also do crossfit and swimming training. I do all this as I am prone to being fat and if I don't, the pounds just pile on at a shocking rate, so giving up exercise isn't really an option for me.
Should I even go for implants as this is the case? Or will I just cause them to become deformed etc with all the exercise that I do?

^^^ I was in a somewhat similar situation regarding heavy 'upper body' work. So I opted for over the muscle implant placement ... which avoids cutting / weakening the pec muscles during surgery, and also avoids downward muscle pressure 'straining' the implant bags during workouts.
If you have a known size difference between breasts, you'll need to go fairly big ( like adding 2 better yet 3 cup sizes ) to avoid the two different sized implant diameters from appearing obviously different in size. If you're not up for that much size, there is another option available which deliberately removes unequal amounts of natural breast tissue to allow the use of equal sized implants. But that involves a more complex ( thus more expensive and riskier ) surgery.
As to DDD and larger cup sizes at VS ... I gave up on them. Between their use of 'vanity' sizing, and not actually offering bras bigger than DD, you simply won't be able to get a bra that actually fits properly. If you've got some time on your hands, check out online specialty shops like

Just to add to my response to audrey's sizing questions -- I still fit into all of my old tops and dresses that stretch, size smalls and mediums. I wouldn't worry about it unless you have a lot of fitted clothes in materials that don't stretch.

Simone -- subfascial may also be a good option for you. If I remember correctly, subfascial reduces the risk of capsular contraction and bottoming out associated with traditional subglandular placement. I would have done this if I had just a little more tissue at the top of my chest, but you're two cup sizes larger than I was so you'll probably be fine.

In my experience of being asked, "OMG does this look okay??" by co-workers with implants, everything, no matter how tiny, looks awesome on large breasts as long as it fits the rest of your body. Most of the stuff on Yandy is soft and stretchy anyway so I imagine you'll be fine with your regular stuff.
Plus, why would you need a push-up bra ever again?!
:( All these implant threads make me want fakes soooo badly!

Boobs can never looked too pushed up! Especially if they're big.
I'm glad my stuff will still fit, I have a few size s teddies/basques I got from them so I guess I'll just try them on when my boobs are a little more normal and see. And I'm so glad you guys regular clothes still fit! I figured I would have to throw everything out.
Simone-- a lot of the strippers I know that have unders say they can go longer do pole tricks because it pulls on the implant too much. And I know from reading online that a lot of doctors say not to go super big if you have a really active lifestyle. I love doing pole work and it's something I'm good at at work that makes me a lot of $ in tips but with my breast size (32B) my doctor said partial unders were the best he could do, but you could ask your PS about doing overs. The girls I've known who did them usually had more to start with and went with a smaller implant, which sounds like it would work better with your active lifestyle anyway.

Has anyone experienced weight gain after implants? I'm talking 5-10 pounds that was permanent? I noticed this a lot in dancers and friends that got implants, it's as if the body was balancing itself out. By permanent I mean it became your body's new "set point" that needed diet and exercise to slim back down to your past weight.

It's so awesome to go through Yandy and look at all the stuff I can wear now with my big boobs... I can actually wear lingerie that doesn't have an underwire/padding and halter/strapless dresses (couldn't wear a dress that wouldn't work with a bra with my B boobies)!!! I have $1,200 worth of stuff in my cart right now. Going to take me forever to get to down.
Do you think even with something like this I can get away with a small?

Yeah I turned into Fatty Mcfatfat. I gained 30 llbs and it was disgusting. But it was mostly my own poor choices that led to it. I busted my ass, changed my life and went from a size 10 to a 3. I'm not going to be a permanent fat ass.

^it's hard to gain weight when you have to spend 2 weeks on the couch and can't work out for 4-6...
Melonie
09-07-2014, 03:45 AM
^^^ also agreed that your body may indeed try to establish a new 'set-point' weight ... which then requires constant attention and effort to keep your actual weight below that point. However, at one pound of extra weight for every 455cc of implant volume, you also have to factor in the additional weight of your new 'additions' automatically increasing your 'normal' weight.
In my own case, this increased my 'normal' weight by about 17 pounds !!! And ( embarrassed tone ), since officially retiring I have 'allowed myself' to go from a size 4 to a size 6 ... which most of the guys I meet these days actually seem to prefer, since I no longer look quite as 'cartoonish' !!!
But, total agreement with Tempest and Audrey ... on top of the post-op fluid retention, 'sitting around' for a month while recovering from a BA can provide an all too easy opportunity to A. gain weight, but more importantly B. adopt a mind-set that 'with these bigger boobs I can get away with more weight'. I have seen too many girls over the years 'un-do' much of the competitive advantage initially provided by the extra 4 inches of bustline they 'bought', by allowing their waist and a$$ to gain a similar 4 inches !!!

I've gained 5lbs of "normal weight" since my surgery. I lost five during the first month, but then gained that back plus. It's early to tell how stubborn those 5 lbs will be, but I think the implants will be worth it. Even if I go from a 4-6 to an 8-10, I still look much better than I did at this weight before m surgery.

Oh ... absolutely. It's all about body proportions. Even though I'm personally 'up' from a size 4 to a size 6 more or less permanently, I'm still pretty close to my 'target' body proportions of 2 : 1 : 1.5 i.e. 50" - 25" - 37" ... not quite the same as the 50"-23"-35" I maintained while still 'working', but not bad for an over 40 'retiree' I suppose !
Of course, guy's first impressions have slacked off a bit as a consequence ... from 'holy s#!t' back to 'dammmmmmm, girl' ! I can live with that !

OMG don't gets started on VS! lol You're so lucky to be in the UK! In the US apparently it's impossible to have a large cup size and small band size (stupid)... I really can't even find a band size in any cup below 32 in US brands. I just go to Nordstrom or order offline. I like Panache and Freya personally.
I can wear a 32DD in SOME bras at VS but my actual size is 30E so they don't fit well esp. because VS runs small like Melonie said.
You can still wear size small with outfits from Yandy. As long as there is no underwire you should be good.
audrey_k
09-07-2014, 03:51 PM
^the outfits I want have underwires though.... do you think that means they won't fit?
I just love VS bras, I think they are so pretty and sexy, I like the brand you mentioned and the website Melonie posted had some pretty ones as well, just not anywhere near as sexy as VS.... Debenhams, basically like Nordstrom or something, has a ton of bras in the 30E, 30F range, even some 28E ones, and they have Freya ones. They don't seem to do DDD here, it just goes from DD to E. I'm not sure what size I'm going to be, I thought a DDD (or an E here I guess) but I bought a cheap sports bra, 32E, and it's too big for me even with the swelling! That just seems weird with 525 ccs so I'm wondering if I'm just a 30E instead.

Audrey - I have SO much respect for you for posting a picture just a few days after your operation. I got my nose done a couple of years ago, and I never would've been brave enough to post a picture after the operation. I was seriously having near panic attacks just looking at myself in the mirror...insane bruises, insane swelling, black eyes, stitches in my nose, swelling that started drifting into other parts of my face, making me look like Quasimodo...
It is really, really difficult to have faith in your surgeon afterwards when you're at home, alone, looking at yourself in the mirror. All of your doubts and fears come to the surface, and all you can do is think "did I just completely fuck up my body? why didn't I just leave it alone in the first place?". So I completely understand what you're going through. You just have to stay calm and remind yourself that you did all of the research you could have done, and also think back to the other BAs from the same surgeon that looked so great after a few months of healing. You will get there...just give it time!
Anyway. A comment on how your new additions are looking! I'm not really into BAs. That said, my major issue with them tends to be nipple placement. It seems that many women come out of their operations with their nipples slightly askew, which throws off what might be an otherwise decent augmentation. However, yours look like they're placed perfectly. So it seems fairly clear to me that once your implants start to drop n' fluff, you'll be looking awesome!
Sending strength your way!!

Right after my surgery I was a 32D (although I should probably be wearing 30s). A month and a half later it was more like a 32DD, and now three months later 32DDD's are just a little too small for me. I'm gonna speculate that you'll be an F or so, but don't worry, it'll look like what people consider to be a DD.
I also find that bras closer to my correct size actually make me look a little smaller -- my 32DD's give me crazy cleavage and shove everything up to my neck.

^thanks babe! I was a bit nervous to post it, and I can't get it to shrink :P but oh well. Hopefully it will help other ladies feel a bit better after surgery to see that we don't all look amazing... I'll keep posting in this thread to show their progression!
I have to admit that I tried to be positive but inside I really kind of hated them the first 5 days, I mean the shape on my body was nice, but when I looked at them in the mirror I was horrified, and there were a lot of texts sent to my guy whining about how I had made a mistake and wanted them out.... the forum on justbreastimplants.com made me feel so much better as there were a ton of ladies making threads saying the same thing, and tons of ladies responding saying they had felt the same way at the time and now loved them, I think the saying is hate them at 8 days, like them at 8 weeks, love them at 8 months or something. And that video I posted on the previous page also made me feel SO much better (I found it on justbreastimplants.com) as it shows the progression of a BA from day 1 to a year later-- after seeing that I felt so relieved, as her boobs were even higher up and had that whole weird square-boob thing going on, and a year later hers look great. My PS told me they would swell and look bigger than they are, but how high up they are, the asymmetry, and the way they pop out so much-- he left that part out.... I think everyone just wants to wake up from surgery looking perfect...
And thanks for the nipple compliment! ;D My nipples are so pointy right now I had to buy some pasties so I can wear a normal shirt when I return to the world this week, lol. Can't wait for them to settle a little bit, I know it's just because the implant is pushing everything out with the swelling, but they do look funny :-X

That's interesting, lol I though the size they are now is the biggest they would ever be! That scares me a tiny bit, but I think it's how HIGH they are that's bothering me more than the size, because the way they're at my collar bones is making me appear to be wider in the shoulders. Sorry, you were 450 ccs right? And are we about the same heigh/ measurements?
lol1337a
09-07-2014, 05:10 PM
Mine are 425/450 HPs, but for some reason I got more mileage from the cc's than a lot of other women have. I'm 5'5" and have a much bigger lower body than you but I measured something like a 30D before. Since I had such pointy boobs a 30C would have fit better. I just wore 32B's and 34A's for convenience though.
Your boobs now might be the biggest they'll ever be as far as pure mass goes (due to swelling), but keep in mind that the volume is distributed over a much greater area than normal boobs because your tissues are spreading the implant out (hence how high they are). This reduces the measurement of the widest point and thus gives you a smaller bra size. Think about all the collarbone boob that's too high to even fit in the cup of the bra. So when the swelling goes down you'll have less overall mass, but it'll center at a normal spot, which will give you a bigger measurement and bra size. Probably.
Also PM'd you my four day pic.. it's awful!

I get what you're saying, that makes sense. God, I didn't realize my implants were so much bigger than yours, I mean one is 100 ccs larger, and then mine are 150 ccs larger than Bacardis, that's making me a little nervous! I've felt like they're on the large side but I love yours from the pics you've posted so that's what's been reassuring me they'll be OK size wise... I did see a girl on JBI who was 5'5, 115 32B w/ 500 cc implants, so pretty much the same stats as me and she was a 28F/32DDD afterwards and her boobs look great, but I'm still a bit nervous. I'm just trying to have faith in my PS that going up 75/50 ccs was really necessary (since we had agreed on 450/475 beforehand) but I'm just entirely sure why he did it.
I saw your pic-- you had more bruising than me, I got super lucky in that department, but I honestly don't think yours were any higher than mine, and I feel like mine look WAY more lopsided/asymmetrical than yours did! I also definitely have more a square boob thing going on, thought the square-ness has improved, even today which is just a few days.
What's driving me fucking bonkers right now is the support bra my PS gave me-- what did your support bra look like? When I woke up he said that because the implant was so large on my frame he had to give me a special bra, which I had to give her a deposit for and return in six weeks. I've tried to find a pic of what it looks like online but can't find one anywhere... so here's a pic:
38875
I have a strap that goes right underneath my collarbone and it not attached to the bra.... she told me I could wear a sports bra over this bra, but it looks very strange with the sports bra over, super clunky, and the part that goes in-between my boobs is SUPER hard and uncomfortable-- the whole bra itself is just goddamn uncomfortable, not to mention that strap not only cuts into my armpits and overtime can cut off circulation, but it can push down on the implants in a way that makes them hurt. I want a regular post op bra like this, it looks like it would be so much more comfortable:
38876
I have to wear the damn thing for another 22 days, so I would like to switch to a more comfortable one, I sent them an email but of course its the weekend so I haven't heard back. Does yours look like mine or the other one?
lol1337a
09-07-2014, 11:14 PM
Mine was super lightweight and didn't offer much support, but I may have needed less because my incisions were on the nipples. I did have the awful strap on top though. I had to crop out my square ridge in the pic I sent because I don't want my tattoos on such a grotesque pic on imgur, but it was seriously so bad that I made the hell strap as tight as I could stand so I could just wear normal clothes again ASAP (I looked like a freak unless I wore a sweatshirt).
Also 50-75ccs isn't that much! 100 isn't even a ton -- think of all the redo threads people post on JBI where they say not to even bother with 100ccs if you want a serious difference. I wish I could have handled the 500-600 range but I'm so shortwaisted that it wouldn't have worked with my proportions. It looks like you have a nice long waist so I'm sure they'll be beautiful.
And charlie: I stopped updating because I feel 100% recovered! I'm not sure if you caught my most recent pics on my thread (bout a month old) but they haven't changed much. I'm feeling daring so I'll link to a before/after pic just for you! And audrey, because you bravely posted pics. http://imgur.com/QVGlJ0o
I swear my old little boobies looked a bit better IRL though! They weren't anything special, but the shadows make them look a lot worse.

^the outfits I want have underwires though.... do you think that means they won't fit?
I just love VS bras, I think they are so pretty and sexy, I like the brand you mentioned and the website Melonie posted had some pretty ones as well, just not anywhere near as sexy as VS.... Debenhams, basically like Nordstrom or something, has a ton of bras in the 30E, 30F range, even some 28E ones, and they have Freya ones. They don't seem to do DDD here, it just goes from DD to E. I'm not sure what size I'm going to be, I thought a DDD (or an E here I guess) but I bought a cheap sports bra, 32E, and it's too big for me even with the swelling! That just seems weird with 525 ccs so I'm wondering if I'm just a 30E instead.
Hmm I'm not sure if they will fit around the base/width of your breast (without cutting into the sides), but they might if they are not full half circle (kinda hard to explain). I've seen some underwires that are just slight curves so they don't have to go all the way around the breast, just underneath.
I agree that the VS bras tend to be more sexy while the others are more practical. Do you like anything from Fredericks or Hustler? I think they have bigger sizes, but not sure about the designs because I haven't been in those stores in forever. Honestly I really didn't need underwire/push up as much after the BA so I started to buy thin/lacy non-underwire bras/camis etc. They have really cute stuff on AMIclubwear and Yandy that I'm sure you've seen. You may find that you don't want the underwire stuff as much as you did prior to implants.
As for the sizing... mine were DEFINITELY smaller at first. I wore a 32D at first, I could even fit into a 32C if it had soft cups. I can now consistently wear a 30E in high end bras (except the Panache Cleo line, which runs small because I think it's for "juniors"). A 30E is the same as a DDD generally. I believe the US and UK use the same sizing except in some cases because my Panache bras have US/UK sizing, then French, then EU, then Aus/New Zealand. There is one brand I will wear a 30DDD, and that's Natori. They make amazing wireless bras that are SO comfortable in small band/large cup sizes (very hard to find). They're ugly though.
Don't worry too much about sizing. It's scary at first. You will probably be a larger cup size than an E if I had to guess, but that's only because your band is so small. I have a strapless bra that's a 28FF and the cups look small to me now days.
38877
What LOL said is correct about the implants being high so you won't fill a larger cup right now. All of the volume is at the top outside of the cup right now, but they will settle.
On just breast implants they call the post op look 'Frankenboob' It's so so common... tons of people get it. I feel like it's common in girls who have tight pecs and get implants that are any bigger than like 250-300 cc.

I want my nose and lipo done too. I feel like boobs are a great way to dip your toes in plastic surgery because they can increase your income so much that it can tip the scale a little further away from the part of you that says, "But isn't elective surgery kind of crazy?" And once you go through with the boobs the rest is suddenly a thing that's finally in your comfort zone.

Hey ladies, so one of of my clients is dyyyyyying to see me and has asked for an early appointment (I'm going back October 5th and am booked solid for the first two days as of now, yay yay) and I've been pushing him back, but I need the fucking money as I'm really low on funds right now and it's making me very anxious, plus it means I could get my kitty before I go back to work, which would make me very happy as I'm having a rough time right now in my personal life.
I've been clear I'm not OK for penetration but I think I can give a BJ no problem by next weekend, that would be the end of week 3? He said that was fine. I told him I won't be removing my top and he said that was fine as well, but he said to look sexy so I'm assuming he wants a view of my boobs which cannot he done with the surgical bra on... would taking the surgical bra off for an hour at the end of week 3 to put on a push up bra and a low-cut top be like really horrible for my boobs?
Also, I haven't been putting self-tanner on as I haven't been mobile enough, but I think I'm getting there so I'd like to start. I have bandages over the incisions, have I OK to put self-tanner on as long as I avoid that area?

First of all, thank you for posting a pic. Its been so many years since I had mine done so I cant even remember what they looked like, and this was before digital cameras so I didnt document the process (makes me feel old!) but I can remember that they were really high up to start with so probably just like yours. I can also remember the crazy pain, I had mine inserted through the armpit, it was so incredibly painful.
About your question, I really dont think you should wear a push up bra yet! Even if it's just for an hour, its just too soon. If you can afford to wait I would also reschedule with this client but if you must, can you not wear the surgical bra and a tight sexy mini-dress over? Or maybe a sexy geek look with a tight short t-shirt and over knee socks?
I dont know about the self tanner...but it makes sense to avoid all the breast area.

Agree completely. At week 3 your incisions are nowhere near completely healed internally. You do not want to risk 'unexpected' pressure on an unsupported breast straining, or worse popping open, an incision. From the standpoint of your implants and incisions, the 'activities' you propose essentially amount to repeated 'pounding' on your incisions with one pound hammers ( plus gravity ) !!!
As to underwire bras, these pose an even greater risk since a great deal of pressure will be 'concentrated' in the area near where the underwire contacts your breast ( i.e. crease incision area ). Also, since your implants have not yet 'dropped' ( = zero free space in your breast pockets ), the pressure of a push-up / underwire bra at this 'early' stage of post-op recovery, in combination with the 'pounding' action, could potentially shift the position of your implants.
Personally speaking, the doctor gave you the surgical support bra, and instructions to wear it continuously for the first 4 weeks post-op, for sound medical reasons !!!
Also, chemical tanning agents aren't the best thing to apply to / near 'brand new' skin cells !!! And 'stretched' breast skin may darken at a different rate than other areas where the skin isn't similarly 'stretched'. While the 'health' related risks of chemical tanning agents is probably miniscule, from an aesthetic standpoint you definitely want to avoid having to deal with dark orange colored 'pumpkin' breasts while hoping the chemical 'tan' will actually fade back to 'normal'. And even if you are shooting for a 'bikini tan', there will be areas of stretched breast skin ( tops and sides of breasts, cleavage etc. ) that you will want to tan. When I resumed 'bikini' tanning after a re-do with significant skin stretching involved, I did so with a UV tanning bed in very small 'doses', and actually had to completely cover my stretched breast skin outside the bikini top with sun-block on several occasions to allow the rest of my body to 'catch up' in terms of darkness of tan.
Furthermore, if something unexpected does happen to your incisions as a result of a premature return to 'work', dealing with the aftermath could potentially involve a whole 'nuther 'cycle' of travel to Belgium, a corrective surgery, more recovery time, and more weeks of 'lost revenues' ( but this time during 'peak' earnings season ). While the probability of this scenario actually happening is rather low, nonetheless you are totally unprepared to deal with such a scenario from a financial standpoint.
IMHO there is no way that I would take on this much potential 'risk' to keep one particular customer happy ( while also earning far less than the additional costs of dealing with an unexpected complication could wind up costing ). With everything that you have 'invested' so far, in both money and pain endurance, I highly recommend following doctor's orders and waiting until the end of week 4 before ditching the surgical bra. Even then, I would still be very careful about 'activities' which create a 'pounding' action due to implants 'bouncing' for at least another couple of weeks.

I'm really low on cash... I have £980 in my bank account as of now.
It would just make me feel a lot better to have a couple hundred more in there, I feel much better physically like giving a BJ wouldn't put a strain on me, more just wearing the bra.

^ Would this customer still pay you (a reduced or regular rate) for just dinner or a relaxed evening together? I bet you could hustle him by selling it as an exclusive sneak preview that no one else is getting. I've been in a slump lately and haven't felt up to dancing, but I've kept my bills taken care of by reaching out to regs who still want to see me for stuff like sushi, movies, the mall etc.
Also -- if you're really hard up, look into foot fetishists! A lot of them will pay to be able to touch your feet while you lay back, smile, and otherwise do nothing.
I really think you should proceed with caution when it comes to the health of your new investments.

^yeah, not sure. He first mentioned that back when I saw him, but then was like oh but you could give me BJs as well! I guess I can just say sorry, gonna have a tight sweater/dress on, no push up bra, he didn't specifically suggest it-- I'm actually surprised you ladies are worked about me giving a BJ being bad for my physically since I feel pretty much 100% percent now and don't feel like it would be much of a strain, but obviously am going to defer to Melonie's advice about it since she's had so many more surgeries.
I guess I could put something up on back page about foot fetishists, I think it's just gonna be rare to find someone who doesn't want ANYTHING no even a BJ... I had a one client a while ago only saw me once and just wanted me to 'trample' on him so I suppose I could reach out to him, and I have a regular client I could go to who I could get away with that not doing anything to but cuddling and letting him kiss and cuddle with him (he's so fucking weird, he just kisses every part of my body and says "you're so amazing... I feel so blessed to be near you.... how am I this lucky to get to touch you... I'm your #1 fan....") but I don't think I can go go him to this early because he saw me RIGHT before I left and isn't super wealthy. Have you mentioned to your regs you're hard up on money when you've gone to them? Just even one appointment would make me feel so much better, I mean I have now 3 days fully booked when I get back but you know that's not for three weeks..

Oh and here's another pic, I think I'll post one every week so I can come back and look at this thread to see the evolution...
they feel SO much better-- softer, not so tight, the shape is nicer, more natural, more symmetry...
but they're still at my fucking collar bones. I really see almost NO improvement at that end this week, was hoping for more of an improvement in that area by now.
(and yes, all the weird redness around them is from the surgical bra I have to wear that is so tight it cuts into my skin)

Well, my foot fetish regulars don't require sexual services-- of course they ask but I just say no (like with any regular!) so it can be done. If you can give yourself a pedicure (one thing they have all mentioned is that I have "exceptionally soft/amazing/beautiful feet for a dancer" so it's probably important) and pop an ad up, you have nothing to lose and only $$ to gain right?
Totally try reaching out to that worshippy guy! He would probably looove to have the opportunity to see you at this unique and exclusive time.
Fetishes exist for all kinds of weird shit. Maybe there are medical/illness fetish guys who would love to feed you chicken noodle soup as you lay in bed complaining about how sore your new boobs are! You know? Get creative and I'm sure some dude out there will pay you for something.
And I reached out to my regs by sending them some teasing selfies and saying like, "I miss you! How are you?" to get them to ask when they could see me ITC. Then I told them I'm not going to be there for a while but I'd love to XYZ with them. No mention of needing money. I think that might read as desperate which is never a good look.

^^ Look at theperfectboobs forum. There are a bunch of guys that worship fake boobs. Yours being so high would probably drive 'em crazy. They have threads collecting pictures of implant scars. They tend to perfer the super fake look over there. So there is a market for healing boobs.
As far as other ways to make money without stressing the boobs. What about phone sex? Can lay on the couch in your comfys and practice mind fucking guys. Money might not be as good, but it's money.

Hey ladies,
So my nipples have become INCREDIBLY sensitive... like anything from my kitten crawling over my chest to my sports bra pulling on my boobs hurts.
Is this normal or something I should be worried about? My nipples were INCREDIBLY pointy for a like, a really long time, and I was not being hypercritical as someone else noticed it! I assumed they were just stretched out from the implants pushing... and everything I read online said that was normal, but this is making me a bit nervous. My PS is not going to be in town for a month ;-/ and visiting him will cost me around $300 on Eurrostar and not sure what a consult would be around here. I just don't want to spend the money at the moment as funds are extremely limited if it's not something serious, but then a part of me is worried they're infected or something...

I"ll keep it simple.
You're fine. extra sensitive boobs after implants are common. Pointy nipples are very common. Both have to do with your implants pushing flesh and nerves outward. Both effects should calm down some over the next while. Stop torturing yourself sweetie, silly worrywort. :)
Unless you're seeing redness around the incision or spidery red lines around your breasts or other signs of infection you're all good hun. If you do see signs of infection, I wouldn't bother with hopping a train, I'd go straight to the hospital. From what you said you sound fine though. RELAX. Find something fun and/or productive to do to take your mind off of all this.

Audrey looking at this picture I can see a major difference from your last pic, they are much lower and in just a week! They look really nice.
The surgical bra looks like it must be so painful. I never had one, in fact I was told NOT to wear anything, no bra at all. I just had a band over. Like this: http://www.plastikinstitutet.se/upload/borstband.jpg
I wonder what the difference is.

^oh I have a strap as well! I have everything...
I think it's just a personal preference by surgeon, all the girls I know have worn them, some for longer than others. Personally I think the ones that most girls wear look pretty comfortable,
just like regular sports bras... it's mine that feels like a fucking torture chamber. And at least with those other ones you can get away with wearing a t-shirt and whatnot, because mine comes around my neck like that, only super high necked sweaters hide it. But I've gotten to the point of just not giving a fuck if people can see cause it's hot and I know sweating is bad for the incisions.
To be honest though I'm glad he had me wear something, because when I take the bra off they kind of hurt.

That's the objective of the 'torture bra' ... to take the 'heavy load' of your new additions off of your incisions so that they can heal back to full 'strength' without risk of incisions re-opening.

Day 22:
39024
I took the bandages off today and the incisions looks pretty good, definitely clean and not infected or anything. I've noticed a big difference in drop, they're still higher than normal but they're getting there. My guy says they feel a lot softer as well! Hopefully when I go back to work (two weeks from Sunday) they'll be looking like normal boobies! I'm actually starting to like them, I had to wash the surgical bra as thing stank to high heaven and I wore a sports bra for a couple hours and they were a more normal shape.
I have to admit though, I do regret, at this point anyway, going as big as I did. I think I would have been happier with smaller implants in the 400/420 range. I'm hoping as the swelling goes down and they continue dropping I'll be more pleased with the size.

They must look bigger to you from the side, because they don't look huge from the front. Or at least not in the picture.

^they don't look as big as they did a few weeks ago, I wore a sweater one day and even my guy was like, wow, your boobs are HUGE, he says they don't look as big anymore. I think it's partly getting used the change in shape of my body, going from having a very boyish figure to suddenly having a more Marilyn Monroe shape is really weird. And throwing out 80% of my clothes was hard.
My biggest fear with the size was that I read online petite ladies should not get large implants because it will make their shoulders/entire shape look larger, not just their breasts-- and I definitely felt that way in the beginning when they were sitting up so high, but as they're dropping I feel like I look a little slimmer.
I have gained weight though in the past 3 weeks, that and the fact I can't use tanning lotion and feel like that adds 10 + pounds is just making me hate my body in general at the moment! I must be pushing 120 right now.
