Fiancé is finally back (after 2 1/2 weeks!) and he is VERY happy with how the girls are looking and feeling. He says he can't feel a difference between them, so I guess it's just me.

I am feeling much less critical and much more sexy now that I have someone to appreciate them! I can't believe it's been almost 7 weeks already.

I went diving this morning, and hopefully I will be back surfing soon as well. Life is returning to normal!

I feel your pain in regards to that nasty rash, last night 15 days post op I begun getting one aross the tops and sides towards the middle of my breasts. Prior to the rash i was scratching like crazy which I'm pretty sure was due to stretching of the skin, so I've just been applying lotion, which seems to sooth it, but then I started to scratch like a mad woman last night & broke out in a rash. I have very sensitive skin to begin with. ALso my right has always felt different then my left, in regards to swelling, size and position, it's slowly catching up to the other side. You look great by the way!

When I do my massages, or just play with my boobs (lol), I can feel the implant in my left breast. Like, I can move it around pretty easily. My right breast, however, feels more 'natural,' and when I poke around, I can't specifically feel the implant. I guess the pocket in my left breast is bigger?

If it's only me that can feel it I don't really mind. My fiance gets back tomorrow, so I will ask him opinion. I don't want him to be able to feel the implant as a separate entity from my breast!

It's an odd sensation to explain, but has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks! I'm going to post some new pics soon. At almost 7 weeks, they are finally starting to look normal and feel like a part of me. I'm excited for you - I remember the days leading up to my surgery and what an emotional rollercoaster it was. Good luck!!

I'm 5 and a half weeks out and my left is dropping slower the right. I can feel the implant more in the left. I think because its dropping slower. Mine are still high. Higher than yours. My doc says to quit worrying, that it will take at least 3 months. I think yours look really great and have from the start. I hope this helps.

Thanks, I'm happy to know it's normal! My fiancé says he can't feel a difference, so I guess I can just feel it from the inside. I noticed a big difference from 5 weeks to now (almost 7 weeks). This "waiting game" from BA is hard, but the patience definitely pays off!

Yes. My right breast moved up and down a lot more. And my left always felt "in place" The left also felt a lot firmer from day one. If I leaned over the right moved but the left stayed. It's such a weird felling. It did get a little better, but it took a good 6 months.

Patience... I know. BA is a waiting game. I want my boobies to look normal!!

Also, I am having trouble getting dressed every day. All my clothes fit, but none of them show off my boobs, and I am very obsessed right now with making them noticeable! Isn't that awful?

Thank you :) I'm trying to post more pics now but it doesn't seem to want to let me update.

Awful? Nooo.....it's not awful. It's some other word that begins with an A. It's AWESOME. I'm glad you are in the spirits too. If we lived near each other I would insist we go shopping together. We both had different boobie dreams but I bet we could help each other out . I must have been the female version of napoleon because I def overcompensated. Right now riding boots, tight pants ( leggings and jegging) and loose or tight tops are in. If your wore the tight top (has to be thin) with skinny pants and slink into a pair of riding boots you would look classy and sexy.

I love that look, but I live in the Caribbean, so no Fall fashion here! I don't even remember what is like to wear pants. (Although it does make it a bit easier to show off my boobs... I just wish my tank tops were lower cut!) I think you look geat btw, I know you think you went too big but I find you still look natural. Maybe you just have to get used to having them! I wish I had gone bigger, so at least you don't have to worry about that haha.

Re: Rash - Were you taking antibiotics after your surgery? I will assume so. That said, because you were exposed to the sun while taking them, it is probably a reaction to the antibiotic medication. Yes, going on steroids will (temporarily) make the rash go away. But any additional exposure to the sun 'can' cause the rash to reappear! You may have problems for awhile. Did you tell your PS about any sun exposure?

I had little to no sun exposure when it first appeared. And it was under my breasts and on my sides as well. It seems to have gotten better now, the skin on my chest is just sensitive and itches ever so slightly if something touches it. Although one day my arm will also be a bit rashy, then today it was my legs. My doctor at home told me my body is just having a response to the surgery and I need to take anti-histamines. Unfortunately I can't avoid sun exposure, since I live in the Caribbean. I'm just hoping hard that this whole thing will clear up on it's own eventually and go away!

I am now 17 days post surgery, and I also have developed a rash. It is where the tape was surrounding my outer breasts. I finally put Benadryl cream on it and it is getting much better. It no longer itches and is not spreading. I also have very sensitive skin -- even though it was paper tape.

How is your rash? Hopefully it has gotten better! You look great and how awesome does it feel to fill out a bikini top?!? Congrats!

Thanks :) My rash seems to have cleared up. I guess it was just my body adjusting after all the meds I took during my recovery. I make sure to go in the ocean every day and wear sunscreen on my chest.
