It has been so long since I have been here. I'm dealing with an internal conflict on whether or not I'm truly happy I did this. I have slight CC in my left breast 4 months post op and I keep reading that it typically gets worse. My doctor says not to worry but I'm not sure if I'm even happy with my breasts anymore. I ended up being a 34DD and feel huge.... I'm so depressed and I'm so worried about CC getting worse. My doctor is wonderful, but I just don't know if these are for me anymore.... And the risk of CC later scares the hell out of me. Please help....

Hey Ocean, I completely understand how depressing the idea of CC is. I have it in my left side. I was diagnosed at 4 months. If it is in the early stages maybe the "airplaneĀ  move" will help. Some girls lay flat on their stomach on the floor with arms outstretched and do it off and on for 30 minutes. It may help stretch the capsule. Did your doc say it was grade 2? But I guess you arent happy with the size either?

I'm sorry your depressed. Please keep posting. It helps to stay in contact with other women who have had BA's.

Day 6 Post Op- Pressure Pressure but no more pain!

So I'm doing good, just bored I hate sitting around most of the day. Ugh, but at least the pain is gone! The only crappy part! is I have a small blood blister from steri strips. :( booooo. Not a big deal though, hopefully when it scars it fades.

Ok so today in my realm of boredom, I decided to start looking up opinions on Breast implants. I'm appalled at the women, who sit here and say "well if a woman is naturally big breasted, and an implanted woman comes along its like cheating, therefore natural is better."

Here is what I say to that. Ladies if you are naturally big breasted, more power to you! Thats great and wonderful! Unfortunately us with smaller breasts didn't get so lucky.

I just think its funny all the judging and not even knowing the people personally. For example, I am 25, happily married, I have had one beautiful boy......Hmmmmm So I'm sure its OBVIOUS how much I want bigger breasts to go out there and say look at me look at me. Psh

Anyways thats my short vent for the day lol more later!

Implanted women stick together! :)

oh my goodness, i just read your story and it brought tears to my eyes. Its so honest and beautiful. Especially the part where you write "His honesty gave me the confidence to forget about the judgemental women and men out there, and just do something for myself."

I had my surgery on Wednesday. So I guess I'm just a few days behind you. Today is my first day I'm feeling somewhat normal. Still pretty sore but feeling on the up and up :)

That's good! I think the worst has been sleeping the past couple days. I did fine while I was on pain meds but now sleeping sitting up sucks. Lol
