Hi ,

I had my breast implants last monday 24.03.14 , I am 18 years old and was a 32 AA . I am very petite and as my surgeon said , I did the larger implants I could. Natrelle allergan TSX 375CC (HIGH PROFILE) Dual plane and Inframammary incision .

My implants are very high on top and my breast is like still small under them .(I am scared looking at them and feeling them!!!) I have a lot of pain in my ribs and also the skin is so stretched, I can't even breath. I am currently taking pain killers and antibiotics . As I went to visit my surgeon yesterday , he said that my breast will take a lot of time to soften and to get in place . Can anyone please tell me if they have been in the same situation and how long does the implants remain that up ? I am very worried and feeling sad with all this pain and with them very ugly :S

Thanks a lot
xxxxxxxxx

Sometimes this can happen. They usually give you a strap to wear to help them settle. You will have to massage when dr tells you too. Your only 3 day out. Give me about 6 weeks.

Join the club! Well at least my club. Mine are SUPER swollen and ice packs kill! Massaging hurts and I hear you just have to ride it out like a big girl. Use the ice packs for relief, massage very often and relax! I'm a week a 2 days post op and I feel like day 2. Lol

This is VERY normal. You are young (with strong, tight tissues), so it will take longer for your implants to settle than older patients. It will improve about halfway by a month after surgery, and they will look awesome 3-6 months later. Just wear higher necklines for a while and hang in there!

Agreed, sounds like you're doing just fine. I am experiencing the same as you, my surgery was yesterday morning. I watched a few videos before my surgery showing the progression, so I was fully expecting what is going on here. Expected everything except my side boobs to be so sore and my upper abs. Hang in there!
