Hey everyone! So I was doing really great up until about a week ago...My son was climbing me like the little money he is, and dug his elbow into my left breast, just near the cleavage/breast bone area. It really didn't even hurt, but the next day I noticed I was really sore. I have been sore like this for a week now and it isn't getting any better. It hurts worse when I press on the area, or when I change positions, our take a deep breath, almost like a bruised feeling. Taking ibuprofen and Aleve hasn't helped and I'm starting to worry that something is really wrong, or that my son elbowing me was just a coincidence and something is wrong with the breast/implant, etc. I don't see my doctor until Tuesday and I feel like I'm going to lose my mind, but I can't get in any sooner because of work. Anyone have any reassurance for me? Ugh, so stressful...

I would call the doc and let them know what happened and if it's something that you should be seen sooner. They would know more but I would think that it is just sore due to the pressure your son put on your muscle. Hope you feel better soon!!:)

It's probably a deep bruise honey and hopefully nothing to worry about. Hope you find something out on Tuesday one way or the other though, and in the meantime I'll say a prayer for you...XXXX

I would bet that it just bruised the muscle and because of your recent surgery there, it's taking longer to heal. I'm sure there's nothing to worry about.

It has been such a long time since I updated! Everything is going well, and I am back to feeling almost 100% normal. The swelling seems to be all gone, no more pain, I can sleep however I want, and I got to shop for bras! I went to VS and got sized and they said 32D but I tried one on and the cups were too small so I ended up being 32DD. I dont feel like they look like a DD, but I guess different cup sizes look different on everyone, and I think VS sizes up a little so we will see what I am at other stores! Anywho, It was so nice to buy bras without any padding :)
My incisions are healed, but still red....cant wait for them to fade! The only thing that is still bothering me is that my skin is numb in some places. It is a really annoying feeling, because every once in a while I will feel like I have an itch, but when I go to scratch it, it is in an area where the skin is totally numb. I am really hoping that goes away. I have also noticed that my skin gets really itchy every once in a while. I have been religious about putting on lotion and body oil after I shower, because I suspect it is just from the stretching of my skin, since it is a similar feeling to how my skin itched when I was pregnant. It is so nice to feel good in clothes. I am going wedding dress shopping for the first time tomorrow and I am so excited! I will try to update again soon!

You look great! I finally got my surgery date 11-10 I'm super excited and very nervous as well! I called back to my ps after my final consult as I had more questions he said he would definately go under muscle and that he would use sizers and fill them till they looked good but not unnatural on my frame I dont wanna go too small or too big and look completely fake! He said most people wanted to go as big as possible and still look natural and that's exactly how I feel:) I'm trusting him he's a great doc I'm just very scared! I love your pics I prey mine turn out as well!! I guess the nerves are a natural at this point! Were you nervous at the end?? I keep looking online and am not sure if it helps or makes it worse. Btw I decided in silicone as well, my ps suggested because I'm very thin as I can see you are as well! Hope all keeps going well for you!!

Helllo all! I am about 11 days post op and feeling pretty great (other than the fact that I have to go back to work tomorrow!) The nerve pains I was having while trying to sleep are pretty much gone, and I'm able to sleep on my side (pretty) comfortably. My PS told me I could cut back to wearing a bra only 8-10 hours per day, so I wear one all day and sleep without one. He also showed me how to do massages, which I'm not gonna lie, I really hate doing lol. I dont know why, it doesnt hurt, it is just uncomfortable and strange. He didn't really tell me how often to do it, just that a lot of people like to do it in the shower, so does that mean once a day? I've been doing it twice a day just to be safe! He also said to start rubbing moisturizing cream on the incisions twice a day, so I have been rubbing bio oil on them in the morning and at bedtime. One thing that is driving me crazy....the skin all over my boobs itches like crazy! But it is like an itch under the skin, that I can't really scratch. I guess that is more of the nerves regenerating? Annoying!

Anyways, I need to run out and grab some new comfy sports bras that have some type of light lining to disguise my constantly visible nipples lol. These things are ridiculous! I did some bra measurements last night at home just out of curiosity (even though I know they will still change, and it probably isnt 100% accurate) but I came out to a 32C. I have a couple 34B bras from when I was pregnant, which is the sister size to 32C, and I must say, I don't see those things ever fitting me again, so I don't know if that measurement is right, but we will see! Overall I am pretty happy. The left side is a little bit bigger, but it is the side I initially had more pain and swelling on, so I think that might have a bit to do with it, and my left side was very slightly larger pre-op as well. It is nothing that is noticeable with clothes on, and probably only noticeable to me without, and it is still early so hopefully it will get better and not worse.

You look GREAT! I'm wondering if mod profile give the more natural look!! I haven't decided yet I go in Oct 10 and would like to have some good wish pics and I really like the shape/ size of yours:) I'm 5'1 and 108! I don't wanna have the super high boob look ! Was there a reason you choose the mod profile?? I do have a wide chest in comparison to my size so maybe that will work for me as well! I'm just getting super anxious and nervous guess that's normal !! Congrats again your ladies look great! Btw I also only have 1 child a 18 month old son how is that going as far as lifting ect??

Aww thank you so much :) My PS had originally told me that he would want to do HP on me because of my narrow chest, but after discussing more in depth about what I wanted to achieve (a look that was as natural as possible, and cleavage without a push up bra) he felt that Mod profile would be better. Caring for my son definitely proved to be a challenge. I wasn't able to lift him for about a week and a half, and I am only now at almost 3 weeks out feeling ok carrying him around. You dont realize how much your chest muscles are involved in carrying around a toddler until you try lol. I was lucky to have my mom here with me and she helped me a lot, and my fiance was very helpful as well. Good luck on your surgery!!

Thanks for sharing!! I hope you the best:) glad to hear you had some help with your little one!! They are such a blessing! I believe my sons dad will be a great help I haven't told anyone else so it will just be up to the two of us, the rest of my family/ friends think any plastic surgery is silly so I don't really have a lot of support, but I'll be ok! Just wanna be a good mom my son is still my first priority you know :) your story had been very inspiring

Was just at my preop today ! My ps is a wondrful guy but I think I should have ask more questions!! He simply ask me if I wanted a c cup and I said yes then he showed me both silicone and saline 350cc implants so I could see the difference I'm going with silicone! I'm guessing he thinks that the 350 is what he'll go with!! My app is set for nov 10, I have to call to confirm that date as my little niece is turning "1" and I'm not sure when her party is!! Anyway I'm thinking I need to go a little bigger and may need to tell then when I call!! I'm currently an a cup maybe, does anyone have 350 cc's and if so are you satisfied with the size???
