WORTH IT$19,000
I just got back from my 1 month post op. The doctor told me not to worry about my BB because swelling would subside and scar would fade. He did agree that my implant on the right side is riding high. He said that the capsule may be constricting and forcing it up. Just my luck. My husband even said it feels hard.
I was instructed to massage OFTEN and wear my compression strap and see him again end of January (in 4 months). I was also told to take Aleve or Cingulair.. I am going to take Aleve 2x a day as an anti inflammatory.
I guess I am just concerned I would need revision surgery done. He thinks my case is moderate and if the breast does not drop I am not such a severe case as to demand surgery. But I REALLY want the breast to drop and will be following all his orders and wishing for the best. (sigh) I wish I could find a compression strap that was better than this ACE bandage.

1 month post op
My right breast is soft and dropped, but my left breast the implant is sitting above the pocket and my real breast tissue prior to lift and implant is soft and sitting low, the area above my nipple appears totally planar and flat.. ? What is this? I am doing massage 3x a day. it also feels sore and engorged in the top half.
Also what do you think of my Belly Button scar? the top is nice but the bottom has a raised ring and I am using scar guard and now switching to oleeva scar strips 23 hrs a day.. but I just can not imagine it will fade to skin color?
Good news: I am totally active again.. picking kids up from school running errands etc.. but at end of day my tummy is swollen and my left breast feels engorged and tight. I wear my binder all day and night and wake up flat. I have not started working out again.. I can picture doing that in 3 weeks. The pencil size open wound under my left breast is finally healed using silver niacin.. it took 4 weeks. SO slow. but thank goodness it is closing. i love my new tummy. I really think my breast are overall much improved from my before photos. Yes, I am glad a I did this. I went clothes shopping and everything fit! I like my not too large breasts cuz I can still wear high neck tight shirts and not look top heavy.

You look great! Are you right handed? I am and think my right breast has dropped quicker b/c I prob use those muscles more b/c I'm a righty. Just sayin that might have something to do with one dropping sooner. It takes a few months for them to drop and fluff. Give it time. Your bb looks fine to me. Have you been instructed to put anything inside? Lije gauze or marble? My PS instructed me to start with gauze and use a marble later to get it opened up. Mine was closed with all the skin inside it. You look really good!!
Yes I am right handed so maybe that is true. But there is a PS on real self who says dropping is a myth. I have an appt Tuesday with my doc and will ask him. I appreciate your BB comment but it really has a visible half circle ring on the bottom so I hope it flattens out and fades. It seems some girls have stitches inside the BB instead of out. Maybe different technique ? Or impossible with mine.
There are plenty of pics on here where you can see the breasts before and after they drop; and every PS I've talked to says they take time to drop. I'd trust them rather than the one who says otherwise, imho.
You look great overall, but your BB does look different. Why not submit before and after pics to the Ask a Doctor forum and see what they have to say about whether the stitching will end up inside or outside, etc.?
