Julia's Breast Augmentation Blog

2 months





It has been two months since my surgery and time really does fly. I am back to my normal routine and having a blast. I can workout (need to be doing this a lot more!), sleep on my stomach, and I am fully recovered and adjusted to life with boobs! I am still in the the "sports bra" phase. I have to wear soft, wireless bras (don't know for how much longer), but they are comfortable and if I don't have a bra to go with a certain dress or top, I just go without or I wear a camisole with a built in bra...Oh, the joys of having perky breasts that "hold up" even without a bra!!! I have found that under armour and nike make some great sports bras. Champion has bras in band/cup sizes as opposed to s,m,l and they fit really well and support each breast individually instead of just smooshing them down like a normal sports bra. I have a 34d in a Champion bra and it is very comfortable and supportive. I am still on the search for a comfy but not overly supportive sleep bra. I had some really great ones when I was pregnant, but I can't find any that are not marketed for non-pregnant woment. Maybe I'll just go with one of those.

For awhile I was a little paranoid about whether each side was dropping sufficiently and if they were both doing what they were supposed to do. The longer I have them and the softer they get, the more they seem like just "normal" boobs. They are not exactly the same, but they were not exatly the same before I had surgery. I would definitely say that they are just enhanced versions of what was there before. So, if are reading this and are recovering from surgery or contemplating surgery, be assured that a little paranoia is totally normal and I think we all deal with it. The best advice I can give is to do your homework and choose a well-respected surgeon. As I am looking at my pictures from today, I realize that the picture that I gave my doctor to show him what I wanted my results to look like is exactly how I look!

Hi Julia - Thank you for your postts - you are a month ahead of me and I always enjoy reading how things are going for you b/c it helps me prepare for what's ahead!
You look great-thanks for sharing your pics and thanks for the advice on the sports bras. I just bought some champion sports bras yesterday so I'm anxious to try them out. If you do find a great sleep bra, let us know! Thanks again!
