WORTH IT$7,000
Well, it's ONE MONTH post-op and I'm feeling really good and really "normal". My incisions are looking good, no more tape or bandages on them. I'm still wearing my surgical bra at the suggestion of my PS. He said it just keeps them more secure and tight while they're "settling". But I'm ready to go bra shopping now!! :)
The "tingles" and feelings that the "implant was moving" are pretty much gone now. I sleep on my side AND my stomach and it's great. I'm getting used to the size and think it looks natural for my body. I still feel that my boobs look "rounder" than I'd like, but this may be due to the fact that I went OVER the muscle. My PS still insists that they will settle and look more like "real boobs" in time.
I posted new pics as of today! Would you say they are still pretty round?? I'm so used to looking at them, it's hard to know an outside opinion. Thanks!

Well, today is 3 weeks Post-Op. I still don't feel "normal". I'm very aware of the implants and I almost feel as if I can feel them moving around when I bend over, etc. I don't like that :(
Also...the skin around my nipples is very tingly and almost "burns" when it rubs against the bra (still wearing the surgery bra, per my Dr's orders) and clothes. Has anyone else experienced this??
I thought I'd feel better EMOTIONALLY at this point. I'm still thinking that this wasn't worth is and that they're just too big for me :(

Omg!! I know exactly what you mean about the hypersensitive skin around the nipples...mine is exactly the same. I thought I was the only one! It's like any little touch, wether it be my fingers, a bra, a shirt, a towel, etc...I get a burning sensation. I don't know if its because of the stretch skin, or just soreness or nerves regenerating. All I know is it is extremely annoying. Sometimes it's worse than others. I'm just hoping it doesn't last too long! Ya know!? You look amazing btw!!

Thanks Texas!! :) I wish I FELT as good as I look. I agree, my PS did a great job. I just don't think I was anticipating how abnormal and unlike "me" I would feel :-/ I hope it gets better. I got my surgery April 8th. How about you??

I had mine on April 17th. I know what you mean...it will get better. It just takes time, but if you're anything like me, I expect immediate results.. haha!! Not very realistic, but still, I cannot wait for healing to be OVER!! In the meantime, I definitely enjoy finally feeling like a woman for a change, even with my super sensitivity and all!! Lol :) I'm sending hugs your way...I know exactly what you're going through. =)

Thank you so much! I appreciate it a lot. A lot of my friends thought I was crazy for taking such a dramatic measure to have some shape, so it's nice to hear some encouraging words!!! I think people who were born with naturally big boobs just don't understand why I did it :) Their negativity is getting me down, so it's nice to read something nice. Good luck on your healing as well. On the up side, at least we didn't LOSE nipple sensation like lots of women do! The sensitivity just needs to tone down a bit! :)

They'll quiet down with time. Every now and then mine are still hypersensitive to the point that even a robe brushing across is unpleasant (and I'm 3 months out on Wednesday), but they're no longer "off-limits" to my hubby (which they totally were for a while!!). You look great - hope you get to feeling as good as you look soon!!

That's the good thing about this site...you get to confide in other women who can empathize with you. Women you can talk to. Vent to. Or listen to. And I agree with you 100% that unless you have lived a life like we have you will never understand why we chose to do this for ourselves. It's one of those "walk a mile in my shoes" things. Hang in there!! And remember you did this for you an no one else.

Thank you, hm331! Yes, they are STILL off limits to my hubby....much to his dismay, haha ;) Even though I now "look" like a little sex pot, I definitely do NOT feel like one. I feel very abnormal for now...so I can't wait to feel comfy in my *new* skin!! :)

I was like that too when I first got my implants; you can feel the implant moving around inside you and it just doesn't feel natural; that feeling does subside and after awhile they began to feel natural; like they are apart of you; just give it a couple more weeks; that feeling should go away; I had tingling too; its called zingers. I sill have those here and there in my nipples; they feel kinds weird but they will go away with time as well; just be patient; your breast are going to go through so many changes!

Thank you for the kind words, Viloet! I certainly hope so. I can't wait to feel normal again and start feeling as good as I look ;) How far out from surgery are you?

Well, I am 13 days post-op now. I've been off pain meds for a while, but I still don't feel "normal". In my right breast, it's almost as if I can FEEL the implant against my skin (I did go over the muscle). Can anyone tell me...will I ever feel normal and like these are my boobs and just part of my body? Or will it always feel foreign?? It kinda freaks me out. I know it's soon, but I want to feel natural...like these are part of me. Does that make sense??
Also....please check out my new pics. Does it seem like they're getting smaller? I hope so! I WANT THEM TO!! I really just want to be a B. I'm a smaller frame, as you can see. Thanks!
