2 Week Check Up And Drop Results
WORTH IT$6,000
Hello Boob-Sisters!
Well, I was kind of nervous about my appointment and forgot to ask some key questions:
- Can I wear normal bras now?
(I've been wearing the post-op bras on only one hook since they are too tight now, shelf tanks, and super thin shelf/tube-top "bras")
- Is it safe to sleep on my side?
(sleeping on my back is my least preferred style)
- May I put cream on my stitches even before they dissolve?
I did ask some questions:
- May I go get chiropractic adjustments?
A: only if they can do it without pressure on my chest and not while I'm on my stomach
- Can I stop using hibclense?
A: Yes, I may because that [RS bleep] is drying out my skin
- Is there a certain point in time where I need to be "dropped" by? Like if I don't, will it just stay high forever?
A: My skin will always be stretching so in like 20 years, I may or may not want them back up high =) There is no drop deadline.
SOoooooooo I have to call the office tomorrow to get the questions above answered.
On Dropping- I dropped .5 in on both sides since Dec 29! I measured both sides in relation to my collarbone and saw a half inch difference!

Yesterday: First Period with the Boobs
2 days ago, I felt like I was reversing my healing, like I was swelling up again. How is this possible? Then it hit me- Youz about to have your period, girl! I thought my boobs were sensitive when they were their original size, the awkward feelings are amped when they are bigger. I had to convince myself that they weren't rising and heading towards my collar bone. Anyway, they felt weird and painful yesterday (on the first day of my period), too. Today, they are just tired. It feels like they ran five miles each while I was working at my desk all day. I just wanted to take them off for like 20 mins today so I could enjoy my dinner.
Tomorrow I have my 2 week check up. Hopefully, they will tell me the next steps to get them to feel more like boobs and not a firm ass ;)

Good luck at your appt and uggghhhh, yes I know that first period feeling! For me, the sensitivity had started so the Big Red Dot made it feel like my nipples were on FIRE. So not cool. Hopefully you can start massaging soon. :-)

I was instructed to leave the boobies be..... I wonder when massage will be appropriate. What does the massaging do? Alleviate pressure? Or makes the fire nipples go away?

I notice some doctors say don't touch (especially textured or anatomicals) but most say to massage. It really helps soften them up. I've also read about it "keeping the pocket open" to help prevent capsular contracture. Not sure how true this is since no one knows what causes it. But being Asian, it's forefront in my mind. Like seriously, I obsess hourly.

Wow, I had the same experience the day before I started my period, like I was regressing, but I didn't connect it to my period! Now I know what that was.

Day 12 Happy New Year
By day 7, I was no longer swollen, but I checked with a tape measure, and I was still high (boob-high). Them girls didn't drop yet. It's ok. I'd like to think of it as they are excited to join their older sisters in the [RS bleep]-committee. I've been wearing my post-op bras with only the bottom hook hooked- just as instructed. Also, I've bought super thin, cheap shelf bras and have been wearing them to facilitate the dropping. Let me tell you, that makes my girls super tired at the end of the day. It's like I have my energy reserve and they have their own, and they get super tired at the end of the day, trying to drop. Poor things. =)
At least, now I'm pooping on the regular, and I've dropped down to my pre-surgery weight, even with the new extra "gifts"

Wow I've been going braless because the nurse told me I could and the sports bra they gave me was too tight. Are your steristrips still on? Mine haven't fallen off. One is half off.

Mine are starting to flip up. I have to unfold them, and then pat them down. I was a little freaked out at first because I saw the black thread of the stitch but the tape has been sticking so I think I'm ok. Sometimes, when I sweat, the tape gets really itchy.

@dreambig, when you say "half off" do you mean the length-wise or width-wise.

Yea I'm not too worried but I keep trying to push them back to their spot. Luckily mine aren't itchy.
