What I will do is share four tips with you:
#34 Don’t underestimate the recovery time. Give yourself at least a week off from any duties. Make sure you have help if you have kids.
#35 The anaesthetic makes you constipated. Prepare for that.
#36 Even if your husband was not a ‘boob man’ before the op, he will be afterwards. Prepare for that too.
#37 Use the ‘peg method’ (thanks Mom!) to stop your seat belt from rubbing against your sore boobies. The peg is strong enough to give the belt a tiny bit of slack, but weak enough to pop off if you need it to (i.e. accident).
And then some booby pics.
A little 'before' reminder.....
Aren't they looking perfectly lovely? I think so. A little 'fake boob'ish' still, but they are only three weeks old after all. Am v pleased indeed.
I LOVE MY BOOBS!
(Oh, and I had myself measured. I am either a 36C or a 34D, depending on the style. Impressive huh.)















They look bloody fantastic!
I also want new boobs!
Congrats xx

Holy crap! Marko should be throwing flower petals in front of you throughout the day, particularly during PMS times with those "gifts."
Next time he's being an asshole, remind him!

Wow! Nice rack, Tertia!
Posted by: CariP | 18 September 2007 at 02:01 PM
They look good but just wondered what they feel like. Are they hard or do they just feel like normal boobs?
Posted by: Kim | 18 September 2007 at 02:02 PM
Very boobalicious. Gorgeous!! You were beautiful before, and you are beautiful after with bigger boobs! :)
Looking forward to Adam sensory post, and good luck with the pms and the arsehole, and the big decision.
Posted by: Tamsen | 18 September 2007 at 02:10 PM
They are silicone, so they are quite soft and 'natural' to the touch. But don't take my word for it. Come and have a quick feel yourself...
Posted by: Tertia | 18 September 2007 at 02:11 PM
Wow! Your boobs look amazing! I want new boobies too!
Posted by: Donna | 18 September 2007 at 02:16 PM
WHOA NELLY!!!
Christ. They look fantastic.
Posted by: cooler*doula | 18 September 2007 at 02:32 PM
Are you still flashing everyone who asks and letting random people have a feel? It was the weirdest experience when I asked my sister if I could feel her boobs, not a question I thought I would ever ask her.
Posted by: Cheryl | 18 September 2007 at 02:45 PM
Love the boobs! They're gorgeous!
Posted by: Beth | 18 September 2007 at 02:47 PM

I'll bring the balloons!!! ;)
Congrats - they look GORGEOUS!
Posted by: Lauryan | 18 September 2007 at 03:34 PM
seriously you have some awesome boobs!
Posted by: Melody | 18 September 2007 at 03:50 PM
OMG they are gorgeous!!
Quick question - what size were you before? I am currently a 36 full C and really want a "lift" more than an augmentation - I'm happy with the SIZE (clothed at least) but without industrial strength bras they are just not where they ought to be any more....
Was yours more of a size increase or a position and firmness increase?
Posted by: Julie | 18 September 2007 at 04:15 PM
Really, really lovely! Congratulations! Thank you for posting about this.

They are fucking amazing!!! What a difference and I think they look perfectly real!
Posted by: Debbie in the UK | 18 September 2007 at 09:02 PM
It's a shame you can't fit into that cool black and white bra anymore. But hey, it's definitely worth the trade off. And I bet shopping for new, roomier bras is fun!
Posted by: kristylynne | 18 September 2007 at 09:08 PM
NICE MELONS!
I've always wanted to say that, and I am finally seeing someone's who deserve it!
Posted by: Judy | 18 September 2007 at 09:12 PM
Why am I only hearing about the clothes peg trick now? Does this mean I don't have to ride around with the seatbelt round my neck from now on? Fantastic!
What gorgeous boobs - really are perky and lovely (they look like they should make a noise when you squeeze them). I am very jealous of their gravity-defiying properties, I am now totally reliant on military-grade underwear to achieve anything other than droopy.

You are a brave woman. For taking the risk of surgery to have such a fabulous pair of boobs, and for posting a picture of said boobs on the internet, where there are many, many, many... unusual people.
They are quite lovely.
Posted by: Andrea | 18 September 2007 at 10:35 PM
Nice tits!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: Laurie | 18 September 2007 at 11:31 PM
Wow you picked yerself up some lovely jugs there. There all nice and perty and up where they should be. Fantitilyastic.

I want to write a comment, but I keep scrolling back up the screen to look at your boobs again! Seriously...HOT! Thanks for the open invite in the comment section letting us know we could come feel them...I'm now going to go book my flight to SA...see you soon.
Posted by: One of Two Mommies | 18 September 2007 at 11:47 PM

Wow they look amazing. Such a self confidence boost for you. Congrats on getting them done.
Posted by: Veronica | 19 September 2007 at 12:29 AM
Kind of makes me want some new boobs! You look great.
Posted by: Flicka | 19 September 2007 at 01:03 AM
AGH, I want some! Of my own of course, you can keep yours! They look great. Now looking at my flat floppy mommy boobies that have breast fed a combined 3 years 3 months, and feeling pretty deflated. Must get me some of those....Dear Santa, I have been so very good this year...may I please have some breasts!!!! No, well screw you buddy!
Great Boobs, Can you doc reccomend one out here in California USA?
Posted by: Katie | 19 September 2007 at 01:14 AM
Hi Tertia
I've been reading your blog for about a year now. It's the first blog I look at after reading my emails. But I'm increasingly "over it". I've watched this boob obsession with increasing dismay. Seriously - and I know you took down a post before because commenters dared to say it - I really can't see what is wrong with the "before" shot. Maybe it's just a good bra, I don't know. This booby obsession has kind of crystallised some of my antipathy towards plastic surgery. I can definitely see the justification in some cases - disfigurement or a reduction for someone who has seriously huge boobs giving them backaches say. But major surgery like this? No, no and no. I've watched my MIL become increasingly obsessed with surgery - first a little something round her eyes - absolutely fine, really did make her look less tired and was a big lift for her after battling leukeumia - but the next thing was a complete lower face lift (billed to us as just a little nip under the chin) and a year after that, a tummy tuck which seriously nearly killed her.
Sorry Tertia, just can't get on board with this. Your decision obviously, but you keep putting this stuff out there and asking for comment, so here is my 2c worth.
Posted by: meredith | 19 September 2007 at 02:02 AM
meredith, did tertia every ask anyone to "get on board" with it? No. So STFU, I say. It's tertia's blog and she can crow about her fabulous new boobs if she wants to.
Posted by: zhanae | 19 September 2007 at 02:11 AM
Love them. Boobs = very awesome. Maybe some day I myself will perk up ol' flappy and friend.
And.
Meredith, go away. Honestly, who asked for your 2c? Don't like it? Stop reading. Seems rather sadistic to go on about how you disagree when #1 not your boobs. #2 not the boobs of a close friend/family member and esp. #3 AFTER the fact. Seriously, what is the point but to hurt feelings? V V pathetic. Grow up.
Posted by: mama2beans | 19 September 2007 at 02:34 AM
Oh, you know what? I'm sorry Meredith!
Someone has lied to this poor girl! This isn't actually one of those "choose your own ending" books where you get to pick what happens from choices at the end of each chapter... you remember those? No, no, hun.. that isn't what this is.. SORRY!! Tertia, as author, actually gets to pick ALL of the chapters/posts here... But if you'll just browse over to amazon.com, I'm sure you'll find something to better suite you!
Posted by: mama2beans | 19 September 2007 at 02:41 AM
Just the kind of childish payback I would expect here, sadly. I admit my post wasn't as considered as it should have been - but comments are open here, and we're all entitled to our own opinions. If you keep putting it out there, you should expect some detractors. But don't worry. In future I'll be sticking to other blogs. Good riddance, huh?
Posted by: meredith | 19 September 2007 at 02:58 AM
When I start to feel myself becoming disenchanted by a blog I usually just delete it from my bookmarks. You might try that Meredith
Posted by: amy | 19 September 2007 at 03:14 AM
LOL @CariP
Posted by: cristy | 19 September 2007 at 03:35 AM
Well, I must agree one thing with Meredith, the before boobies look nice too! But I can imagine why you would want the bigger ones: Sexy Plus! Have fun with them!
Posted by: heleen | 19 September 2007 at 03:48 AM
This is NOT intended as a criticism, more just a curiosity. I look naturally like the "after" picture, and always sort of wanted to look like "before."
I will say though, that in this age of brest augmentation and big boobs all over the place, I no longer feel as busty as I used to.
Posted by: Andrea | 19 September 2007 at 03:56 AM
Hmmm - I am a LONG time reader, and I am really pretty dismayed to see the way Meredith was attacked up above. Everybody knows that Tertia is entitled to post whatever she damn well pleases, and that we don't all have to agree with whatever choices she makes, nor do we have to keep reading if we're no longer interested. But there is nothing wrong with somebody expressing an opinion based on their own perspectives, so long as it is not obviously intended to hurt, and I don't see that in Meredith's comment. I think folks need to chill out a little. It's almost like Tertia is the queen bee, and if anyone says anything opposing her choices, then all the drones immediately flap in, telling the intruder they should go away. Let's accept alternative viewpoints for what they are - we are not all the same, thank god! - and not be so quick to judge and attack. That's MY 2 cents.
Posted by: Brainy girl | 19 September 2007 at 04:44 AM
Brainy: I suppose I read it differently.. as it seems rather cruel to continue to "disagree" with Tertias choice, out loud, without prompting, AFTER she's already done it. The time to vent different views was before. Continuing to harp on your opinion of the matter, after the deed is done, IS intended to hurt. And I'd be offended no matter who that happened to.
Posted by: mama2beans | 19 September 2007 at 05:00 AM
I felt my first pair of boobies and I didn't like it. Hers didn't look as nice as yours, though, Tertia. They were ROCK HARD. You could feel the edges of the implant itself - like a balloon filled with cement. I am glad to hear yours don't feel like that and will now remember to find someone else to feel up for a comparison. ;-) One question: Do they jiggle when you wiggle? I always thought silicone was rather stiff, but never knew anyone to ask and completely forgot to ask the Rock-Hard-Jugs Lady.
I'd like a lift, but not an increase myself. Being a D or bigger since middle school (about age 12-13) has been killer on my back (I'm 5'2" on a GOOD DAY) and maybe even going down to a C and getting a lift would be STELLAR for me. While I'm at it, might get a tummy tuck. You know, two birds with one stone and all that. ;-)
Posted by: Heather | 19 September 2007 at 05:12 AM
Very nice, T! A gift for you that Marko gets to play with too! They look very Californian, very sexy. Maybe not "natural", but who cares, they look HOT!!
Peg trick is a good one!
Posted by: jodie | 19 September 2007 at 05:29 AM
I wish I had known the "peg method" after I had my boob job. It was very uncomfortable every time the seat belt touched my boobs.
Posted by: Liz | 19 September 2007 at 06:55 AM
Thanks to Brainy girl for the support. Mama2Beans, maybe you have a point - I should have shouted up before. Do you really think it would have made any difference to what Tertia would have eventually decided to do in the end?! MY point is that if she wants to keep talking about The Boobs, then it must be with the acceptance that some people aren't going to join the general ego stoking that goes on here. Drones buzzing around the Queen Bee and seeing off intruders is a very good analogy.
Bored now. VERY bored of the boobs. And bored of coming back here and trying to defend what I feel is a valid point. Over and out! (for real!)
Posted by: meredith | 19 September 2007 at 07:31 AM
NICE. Very nice cleavage. :-)
Makes me really want some new boobs too!
Posted by: sweetisu | 19 September 2007 at 07:54 AM
I've just logged on and seen the comments. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Either way.
I'm not going to get involved. I am not going to defend my decision and I am not going to get into a debate about it. My boobs, my body, my blog, my life.
I'm happy with my decision and that is good enough for me.
Peace.
Posted by: Tertia | 19 September 2007 at 07:58 AM
Hi Love bug,
They look lovely (certainly larger than mine - I'll send you a pic now that I trust you so much ("WE AREN'T THAT CLOSE!!").
I'm sorry so many are so judgemental. Sucks really. You should know that I really was the littlest angel. I got 350 and 320 ccs (apparently, I was really lobsided as well!!). You have size-appropriate, beautiful tatas now. They are lovely and your doctor did very well in terms of fitting your frame.
hugs to you. Also, take care of yourself and don't overly stretch.Scar tissue happens when you do too much.
xx
How crazy is it that I'm going on travel for work next week to Area 51. Should be interesting. I'll be on the lookout for ufos.
Posted by: socal | 19 September 2007 at 09:30 AM
Looking good, Tertia! I wouldn't mind having my saggy old boobs LIFTED a bit - not necessarily increased in size - just "perked" up.
I am a little disappointed at the harsh reaction from readers to Meredith's comment. If you invite comments, you must be able to take the punch if someone disagrees with what you've posted, done, etc. Provided it's not insulting or abusive, that is (which I don't think M's comments were). Each entitled to their own...
Posted by: Ann | 19 September 2007 at 10:07 AM
Fuck me! You look flipping gorgeous girl! That wonderbra chic, Kerry? so much better than that!
holy hell.
Considering lesbianism right now. Well ok, not really. I'm not such a great licker. Eeeeew. Overshare.

Posted by: Kristine | 19 September 2007 at 09:49 PM
Just a quick note to say - Anaesthetics do NOT give you constipation, the pain medication does (I think you were on a preparation with codeine, which is a biggie for causing constipation).
DOI - husband an anaesthetist who gets professionally peeved when the anaesthetic is blamed for *everything* after an operation, many causes include the type of surgery undertaken or preexisting complaints.
Sorry, had to defend the anaesthetic.
Boobs look fantastic by the way. So glad you're happy with them (bet Marko is too!)
Posted by: louise | 19 September 2007 at 10:21 PM
WOW they look fantastic!!! Love them!!
Posted by: Sandi | 19 September 2007 at 10:46 PM
The peg tip is very good advice, I think. Might come in handy if you've had a C-section too?? Maybe.
They look wonderful. Really.
Posted by: Rebekah | 20 September 2007 at 01:30 AM
I bet these babies stand up so firmly you don't even have to wear a bra. You lucky duck. I want a boob job.

Wow Tertia ... NICE RACK!!!
I never considered plastic surgery before, but that certainly makes me reconsider!!!
Posted by: Jen @ amazingtrips | 20 September 2007 at 06:06 AM
Wait a minute ... WAIT A MINUTE. Is it the glass of wine I just had, or is the one on the right (left in the picture) just a tiny bit bigger than the one on the right??
Please do let me know how long you stare at the picture trying to decide.

gawjissss!!! i think you look spectacular- i'm so jealous- mine are big (i think i was born with them) but they're not nearly as gawjiss as yours, i would love to get a lift one day...!!!
Posted by: angel | 22 September 2007 at 10:59 AM
WOW!
Now that my wife is asleep, I can finally comment on this post…:-)
It never ceases to amaze me the impact the female anatomy has on men. Wow! Nice augmentation. I am willing to bet that there is a VERY, VERY happy man walking around your house.
My wife just recently started blogging and I have been helping her with Wordpress. She has a list of top parenting sites and I just happened upon yours, which is pretty easy since it is at the top.
Congratulations on the twins…It has been a long journey for you.
I have two children (girl-17yrs old and boy-10yrs old), although much older now, they still light up my life and will probably be the best legacy I leave behind when I depart this world.
Continued Success to you…
