Well, I had my second post op appt today and got my steri strips changed out. I was so surprised to see that my incisions weren't even red! That was great! My left side is still swollen, but my right is not so much. I've been a little concerned though cuz I can now feel the implant on my left side move around some. I can feel it move when I bend over, like its "falling" with me, and I can also feel it if I gently push it on the sides. Anyone else experience this?

I think you've passed the hardest part of it all. It was after my 2nd week that I came out of the fog (not sleeping, achey, etc). Hopefully after another week you will start feeling even better. I'm sorry you've been sick though. Ack!

yes. I felt I had to hold my left breast everytime I bent over. it sort of felt like it was falling out of place. I really can't remember exactly how long that lasted or when it stopped. I guess I didn't even really notice when I stopped grabbing it but now at 4 months I would say it has been at least 2 months that it has felt "in place."

My right one moves every once in a while - usually when I'm twisting or bending down. It doesn't hurt, just feels a little strange. Hoping it will go away.

Yes! So much better! Stitches to be removed Monday. Just over a week out now and much less pain. Off all meds as of last Saturday and started driving again on Monday which helps the psyche! Now I'm anxious for swelling to go down and to get back to exercising. :)

Doing well! I am happy with the size now that most of the swelling is gone. I'm using this silicone scar sheet and it makes it a little sensitive. Just got back from beach trip and swimsuit top was much more flattering :-)

Hi there, I was just wondering how your recovery went with your two yr old...how hard it was to lift on him and do the day to day things mommy's do for the babies?? I'm scheduled for a lift with implants in Oct, but I'm have hesitations due to not knowing how long i will be out of normal routine with my kids. Especailly the youngest he's 18 mo

Ok. Just had my post-op appt, and he said everything looks perfect. I think I can finally say too that I think they look really, really good. My husband says they are awesome...lol (and that's with the stitches are strips still on..lol) too bad I'm still so sore...I've also had a horrible cough and cold during this week of trying to recover, and boy that's not fun....coughing your head off while your boobs already hurt..ouch! I have some significant bruising under my left breast that I was concerned with what he'd say, but he said its no big deal...yay! I finally, finally feel that I'm on the downhill, I'm going to be so glad I did this slope...

I'm so sorry you are going through this! One of my best friends had a lift and implant a year ago, and her recovery was also a lot tougher because it is almost a double surgery! She got back at it in no time though and looks AMAZING as you will :) ! Stay strong and know it will all pass! Blessings to you!!!

Thank you for the encouragement. .. I'm very very thankful i didn't go too big. My ps is pretty conservative and looking back I'm glad he didn't let me talk him into going bigger. .. I'll be glad when a couple of months have passed!
