Have to be selective about what I wear because if the size difference as how obvious it can be. Not what I wanted as a result.

Wow its been busy! I've been flat stick so I thought I should probably do an update.
3 weeks ago I saw my local GP and he prescribed me anti depressants until things settle and I'm so glad I did. I feel so much more emotionally able to deal with things. I just hope they aren't blocking how I truly feel.
On thursday just gone I had a bra fitting. Smaller boob a DD. Bigger boob a full E / F. Bummer!
I had my 6 week appointment yesterday. Dr thinks it still might have fluid and also said 1 is sitting higher than the other so he also thinks massage might help so that's all I can do. He said to come back in another 6 weeks and reassess. He said if it doesn't change and I can't live with the outcome the option would be to put in 250cc implants which is less than half of what I have now. So I have some massaging and thinking to do over the next 6 weeks. Not too sure going to 250cc will be easy after having 520cc :/
Aside from that back is better. Almost 100% again. It still aches when I do out of the ordinary stuff like riding my motorbike but my back muscles are building up with the new additional weight so I'm not concerned.
Feeling much better about things but still not 100% on accepting the outcome of the boobs.
I have now stopped taping the incision. I can now wear normal bras and I can now go back to exercise which I think will also affect my back for a little bit until my muscles get used to it.

They have improved heaps in the 15 days photo, its still very early I hope things settle for you!
I am at just over 5 weeks and a still up and down like a yoyo!
as they say its early days in our recovery keeping all fingers and toes crossed for a great result.

Hi Thanks. So glad I'm not the only one all over the place :) yes everyone keeps saying is early days. I'm sure they know too but these things are attached to my body permanently now so I'm more scared than ever. And more insecure than ever too.
I hope your recovery and results go well for you too :)

Scared is the perfect word me too believe me I am freaking out trying not fret as hard as it is. I agree not enough info prior to implants on what can happen. I think they do it day in day out and forget that there we don't and everything is so new and scarey!
November 20, 2013
Definitely!! Ohh big hugs for you. It's such a horrible thing to deal with (uncertainty). We spend all this money and just get left to deal with things blind. I've learnt so much from this Internet site and people's experiences.

How lucky are we to have this forum...leishabree and I having a great talk over the phone!!!! Great to talk and vent lol. ...everything will be fine in the end.....we came to conquer and we will have great boobs....they just need time :)

Hey how are you going? Hope things have gotten a bit better for you.

Hi. I'm ok. Very emotional still. 1 boob still much larger than the other.. At LEAST 1 size bigger than the other, much wider and higher than the other. This has made it impossible to locate any nice wireless bra because they don't fit both boobs. This is something that can't be lived with for the rest of my life particular when this type of outcome wasn't advised until after surgery. Didn't really allow me to make a educated decision if no one educated me on it until after :/

You are still early on. I'm over a month post op and my left is dropping slower. Give it at least three months.
November 27, 2013
Thanks I will. I just hope it evens out. It's so scarey not knowing how it will turn out.
