Lookin' and feelin' good

It's been 6 weeks since my nipple construction surgery, and I'm feeling (and looking) much much better than before.  I no longer have to wear the little plastic cups, which is lovely.  Honestly, that started to get really annoying.  Not because of the plastic cups themselves (I found that I could wear a padded bra and they weren't as noticeable)... but because of all the bandages and tape required to hold the plastic cups in place.  Every day I had to redress the bandages, and that started to get massively annoying.

So anyway, I'm glad to have another chapter of the breast reconstruction saga behind me. 

I think I like my new nipples.  I'm still waiting to see if they "settle" any more.  They're a bit big for my liking.  I'm gonna give it a few months, and if I need to, go see Dr. Hofer for touch-ups.

I'm super pumped that I can now go bra shopping!  I've been wearing the same ratty padded bra for over 6 months.  It's from my old boobs, so it fits pretty well, but not perfectly.  I was waiting to get a new one because they're expensive (I go to the fancy store for bras - department store ones don't fit right).  Now that I have the nipples, I figure this is the shape I'm going to stay (or roughly close).  So I can finally go get fitted for a new bra!  Yipppeee!
