One side not dropping as nicely and is sore

I had my 6 week check up last week. Looks like my right side isn't dropping as nicely and has also been sore. It was sore when I had the mondor cord and continued to be sore. My PS is concerned that mild contracture might be happening, so I am on singulair now until my next visit in 6 weeks. They look amazing in a bra and in clothing -- one can only tell when I'm naked.

Other than that - everything has been going well.

Thanks for sharing, marathonmomof3! I agree that your breasts are very natural looking! I, too, am going for a very natural look with a full B/small C (although I have less to start with and a bit taller than you). It was good to see that you stuck with your original intentions on your size. I wonder if the smaller ccs also aided in your smooth, less painful post op recovery? Nevertheless, you look great!

They do look fantastic. Sorry you're experiencing this road bump in your recovery. Hope it resolves on its own. I'm sending you positive healing vibes!

Was getting so many e-mails I stopped for awhile until later I will post pictures of my face. But, your surgeon did a nice job -- you probably did over-due with lifting -- that's a no no mom! I know hard to do with kids. But I truly believe - having this procedure done -- rest and give it some time --the other one will drop and you are going to look fantastic -- have no worries

Question -- I didn't know you could wear a under wire so soon after surgery? I guess due to all my physical activity use to wearing sports bras

Hi! I found your reviews really helpful. I love your results. The girls look natural but perky and aren't too huge and noticeable. I'm very active too and like to exercise, so I don't want to go too big. how're you doing now that's it's been a little over a year? Are you able to exercise as much and as comfortably as before? Do you still love them or do you have any regrets? Any advice or insight is welcome. Thanks in advance

Bra sizing

I went to a proper bra shop and was measured at 32C. I think it's important for people to be fitted correctly by a proper bra shop once the swelling goes down. I was wearing mostly 34Bs post BA as that's what I measured at VS, and they were quite uncomfortable.

So true! Between settling and swelling it's important not to get measured too early! I find 34B doable but a little wider and flatter than the 32C. I have found the 32C fits me better too. More projection. Where did you get measured?

Brrrr...

It's very cold here, and I discovered that shivering is uncomfortable/paintful! My chest muscles on top of the implants tensed up quite a bit and were actually painful for those few minutes while I was shivering. Once I stopped shivering, the pain went away on its own. Other than that - all is well.
