I worked out that I miss the size of my old danger boobs but I didn't enjoy wearing bras, even when they were untouched by the surgical knife, and I also miss my nipples. So what am I to do about all that?
I have put on about 8lbs since my surgery and my right boob has gained a little weight (I think) but the left one has not and the size difference is more noticeable than ever. I feel out of proportion when I used to be perfectly balanced. That is hard to deal with for me. I want matching boobs again that balance out my figure, like before my surgery, but that means wearing a substantially padded bra.
Bras are seriously uncomfortable and do not fit me at the top of the cup anymore so bras don't actually help, they just add to the problems I have. I can achieve a bigger sized chest in clothing but am crippled by wearing a bra, making my scars sore and my dog ears stick out underneath, noticeable in tighter fitting tops. Not a great look really.
No bra, no matching boobs and no pain.
Bra, bigger boobs, matching boobs and pain/discomfort.
Now bring some nipples into the equation.
Nipples = sticking out bits
Sticking out bits = bra to cover up
Bras = uncomfortable and bad fitting
Solution
Uncomfortable = no bra
No bra = sticking out bits
Sticking out bits = nipples
Nipples = dilemma
Bugger..
So after seeing a BRCA+ friend's recent '3D look' nipples I thought that this might be an option for me. They look so realistic and without identifying her I thought I would post a pic (with her permission) of what they look like below:
I am so amazed at the result that I thought about not having nipples again as a real option. This could be an interim solution whilst I think about the real McCoy...maybe.
Then I found these stick on bras which may be an instant solution for me. NuBra info at www.breasttalk.co.uk
I think I will order one set just to try it out.
Will report my findings once tested!
Quite excited and fed up with being lobsided and dented :(
