Before & After as of 2 weeks

Here's are some shots of me Pre-op vs Post-op w/ 400ccs. They'll be in that order side-by-side. I think one of the biggest differences to me is my hair! You can really tell that its growing in quite well. I don't think my shirt does much justice to the girls, but its what Andrew picked out for the photos... I'll try to keep it consistent.

Pre-op Front & side

Post-op front & side 400cc expanders.

Also, the smile below (post-op) is b/c Andrew thinks it looks better - not because I really feel like smiling all that much. The expanders feel like a really ill-fitting & tight under-wire bra on my ribs & like rocks on my chest... Oh well...

  1. Wow! Your hair really is growing fast! I'll be interested to know how it grows back in. Mine was very thin...and very curly!

    Sorry that you have ROCKS on your chest! It must be really annoying!
    It's worth it though...your girls will thank you later!

    You're doing awesome, Erika! Hang in there!

I just had to have my mom buzz my hair because it was falling out so badly.

The smile is fake because the TEs were irritating!
