Recovery Help Needed - Joppa, MD

Kim67, On my 7th day I was still feeling everything you feel and more!! Everyone heals differently but what you are complaining of sounds like normal healing. My implants were high up right under my collar bone, a lot of ladies start out really high and then they have to "drop and fluff". I had my lift with implants on April 3rd and they are still dropping. My right one is still higher, they say your dominate side will take longer to
drop because the muscle is stronger. I am a weight lifter so I was told mine could take even longer. I still have some pain in my sides and nipple sensitivity. It will get better with time! Everyweek it gets better. I'm not going to lie, for me it's JUST starting to feel a little normal but I am so excited not to have my saggy deflated socks that I am willing to look past this healing time and focus on the end goal. Start reading others reviews and how they are healing and you will see you are definitely not alone. Just keep in touch with your PS don't hesitate to ask questions about anything! Communicating with your ps is very important. Please keep us posted on how you are doing. Hope this makes you feel better!

Hi there! I'm sorry this recovery has been rough. They do sit tight and high for a while in the beginning. You're only a week out, so you still have a lot of settling to go.

You might want to check out Makenzie's review of her breast augmentation done three months ago. It has tons of great info and videos to give you a realistic idea of what to expect throughout recovery.

Please let us know how you're doing as you continue to heal.

Hi there, might i warn you a little over Bio Oil?? I had (have) really tight and sensitive skin (despite i am in my third month post BA) and Bio Oil really irritated it. It even says on the bottle it can do that. I would suggest just any really rich body cream. C

Some ladies are given a strap to wear over the top of their breast to push them down,but I never wore one. Mine have dropped a lot and believe me they were very high. I just gave it time which I'm sure you don't want to hear right now. But I'm in week 7 and they look better all the time. My right one is still a little higher than the left. I have had friends who have completely dropped by this time and I have had some that have taken a few months to completely drop. Thanks Kuromi about info on the Bio oil, sorry you had a reaction to it. I guess everyone will respond differently to certain products. Kim you should probably do a small patch test if you are worried about a reaction. Again it worked well for me and I use it on my 11yr old daughter's scar and she has had no bad reactions. I also love using cocoa butter and shea butter! 

Im sorry you are so upset! My experience is this: friday may 18, i had bl/ba. The first three days were rough! Days 4 and 5 are more tollerable. My implants are up to my collar bone also and the are ver swollen and tight. Its kinda miserable! But, i know that i have a lot of healing still to do. I think if you give it a couple of months you may feel much better about your implants. A friend of mine went through similiar feelings as you the first few weeks after her breast job, she told her husband she wanted them out! He encouraged her to be patient and let her body heal, which she did and now, two years later, she loves them. She proudly sports her new figure! I understand what you are feeling and how much aniexty that can cause, but please bear with the situation and i think you will end up loving them. Hope this helped!

Hey girl, things are getting easier everyday. Yesterday was my first day to wash my hair, drive and go eat lunch at a resturant. Im not saying i wasnt uncomfortable doing it, but i did it! My twin sister had an augmentation a couple of years ago and said it takes at least a couple of months to get to feeling completely normal about the new additions. The uncomfortableness gets pretty irritating! But i know so many people that have implants and its always the same story, it takes a while to adjust! Hang in there!

Heyo, me again, i totally confirm the two months window towards being ok. I really started to move around not particularly taking care of my new boobs after around 8/9 weeks.
Now, when i look at them, i am so happy i could cry :o)))).
So , hang in there .... C
