Starting to love my results!!! - Coral Gables, FL

It's been 7 days already and it's hasn't dropped at all! The muscle tightness is killing me... How long before that goes away cause it is ridiculously annoying?

That typically lasts 3-4 weeks, then they BEGIN to soften and drop.... Mine felt lots better at 6 weeks. And I had loose skin (breastfed 4 babies and lost weight) and almost no muscle tone in my pecs (didn't work out my chest for months leading up to surgery for this reason). If you have a tighter skin envelope or more muscle tone, it will take longer....

Yes just be patient I know the exact same feeling. I'm hitting my 3rd week and I'm just now starting to feel relief. The most annoying thing was not being able to use my arms like I want.

I had some loose skin from breastfeeding but I worked out like crazy cause I knew I would be able to after I got my boobies. I guess it's going to be a while for me then. :-(

Did you workout before the surgery? When I tell you I worked out hard I mean I really went in on all body parts! I'm able youse my arms I just can't get over this tightness and the torture strap that my PS has me wearing. I have my post op tomorrow so hopefully he can tell me to do something to help these babies drop. I have really strong pec muscles so I just know its probably going to be months before I see any change. My bruises have gotten progressively worst too so I'll see what he says tomorrow.

I didn't really work out like crazy and my PS said the strap wasn't necessary. Let me know what he says. The worst thing for me was raising and doing things with my alarms. Now my incisions are starting to itch bit I guess that's expected. I've also started massaging at week 2 and I think that has a lot to do with it. I will post pics soon of week 2 and week 3.

Sorry that should say arms* lol

Thanks Hun! These girlies need to drop immediately! When I go to the stores all the guys are looking at me cause they lol like they're growing out do my neck, lol!

Thank you! I got 425cc in the right and 450cc in the left.

Thank you! Yes this is the tough part! And I was stressing over the surgery the whole time, lol! Your boobs look great so far but how are they feeling?!

Thanks! They were feeling great but Doc said I need to start wearing a strap because they are still riding high. :( I ordered 1 online and an using an ace bandage until I get it in. It has made the sternum pain return. :(

I had to use a strap and it killed my shoulder for some reason. I had rotator cuff surgery a few years ago and the pain was mainly on that side. I had the strap on for a week and, thankfully, my Dr. Said I could take it off after my 1st week PO. I am sure that it did wonders for me from a dropping perspective but couldn't wait for that week to end! All is well now, I am dropped, fluffed, and in final results at 12 weeks out. I really feel I haven't changed much from 8 - 9 weeks PO.

I hope the pain goes away quickly cause I know it's crazy uncomfortable. Dr. Freiman told me to wear the band my first post op, 1 week post and I saw him this past Monday for my 6 week post and he told me I still need to wear it. So hopefully at my 3 month post op I can toss that sucker, lol!

You look great AnasScott!

Yikes! Hope in a month I can toss mine too! It sometimes rubs under my arms the wrong way.

Oh yeah that happens every single time I wear it.

Thank you!
