“Got my New Boobies - Albuquerque, NM”

After breast feeding and pumping for twins for one year my boobies were sacks. Did I NEED it? no. Did I WANT it? I think so. It's been 2 weeks and my body is recovering slowly.

I am 5 8' and 135lbs. I got 300cc silicone boobs and they have not dropped yet. My biggest issue is the pain I have in both my arms. It's like nerve tingling and I am praying it goes away as my body recovers. I have told a fair number of people and others I just don't think they deserve to know if they treated me poorly.

I spent 5 days away at my mother in laws house and loved it! I definitely needed the Oxyconden and the valum. (sp sorry)

I am 3 and 1/2 weeks post op. 300 round cohesive gel, under muscle implants. just now I noticed what felt like a trapped air bubble on the left of my left breast. It pushes in under the light pressure of a finger and then pops back out. Are they just air bubbles that will be absorbed by my body and if so how long will this take, or are they something I should worry about? Many thanks.

I've still got some crazy arm numbness going on all down my right arm and in my fore arm on my left side. Going to call for an in office evaluation as I was hoping it would go away by now. Has anyone ever dealt with this before?

I am getting excited about my breasts but just dealing with the tingling/numbness.

Went in for my 6 week check up and the tingling and numbness is almost gone. I've discovered it didn't have anything to do with my new breasts and was an issue from two big knots in my neck area and those knots are pinching my nerves down my arms. So that's good news. My L breast looks great, and my right is slowly dropping. So I am massaging and stretching the heck out of it. So things are looking up and can't wait till R drops! Although will be "Undecided" till that suckers drops.

16 weeks and counting. I went in for my 3 month appointment and my right breast is still about an inch high than my left one. My doctor was not surprised but also not happy about them. The left one looked good but he said it was still a little too high. He stated that we'll most likely have to "go in and cut the scar tissue that is holding the right breast higher than it should be". He wanted to see my back at the 6th month mark and recommended everything that I was doing; massage, stretch, working out, and the big one PATIENCE. After the appointment I was not surprised at what he said. I did, however, contact my friend who had an augmentation just 2 years ago with the same doctor and her breast took 10 months to drop!!!!!!! Fine... I need to take a breath and be patient. Cutting now and having them drop even more later would NOT be an easy repair. So They look a lot better than they did but "Righty" is still stuck up there waiting for me to roll out the red carpet. So I am just breathing and letting it go...

It's been 4 months and my right breast has not yet dropped. Well... it actually has dropped a little but still has half an inch to go. I know it's not finished dropping as I can FEEL that it is not healed totally. I've felt electrical charges, sore and at times uncomfortable on that side. My left breast has totally healed so I know the difference between where I am and what it should feel like and look like. My friend who had the same doctor just 2 years ago told me that it took her breast 10 months to drop!!!! Wow - guess I need to have more patience. My Doc told me he would consider doing another surgery at the 6 month mark to help it drop but I am wondering if this thing won't drop on it's own. Better get in shape before summer!
