Overdue photos
WORTH IT$7,500
These pics are from today! Sorry it took so long. They have relaxed since the last photos a bit... Still high up and my right still hasn't "released" yet It feels bc it's not rounded out on the sides or dropped down yet. Hoping to get more fullness at bottom of breast below nipple when they settle.

Hey ladies,
I have been absolutely horrible about getting on the ball with updating this review. It has been a pretty uneventful recovery thus far. Back to work yesterday, I took a full 2 weeks off and it is BRUTAL being back. I went to a post op appointment on Thursday, the 22nd. He told me I no longer have to wear the band and that I can start massaging. He didn't really show me many exercises, so I have been pushing them together and down and up just to get the implant moving and hopefully soften things up. My left boob is my favorite - it's the biggest, it's settling better and just is more of the shape and fullness I wanted. My right boob is still a little funky, my nipple looks pointed downwards still and it hasn't really dropped much. Impatiently waiting for them to "drop" and settle. Be nice when I have more boob under the nipple than over it! Patience is not my virtue and I'm trying to just not focus on it.
Almost all of my stitches in my nipple are gone - one stubborn one left that hasn't fully dissolved inside. I have steri strips on my crease incision until it falls off (he said another week so I can take them off thursday if i want) I'm pretty sure I will be satisfied with the size and outcome.. just waiting for them to settle so they look like actual boobs and not so fake!
I'm not sure how excited I am about my nipple. I was afraid he was only going to take the "point" off that was on my nipple and not a full wedge like I asked and showed him several times and brought up again at my pre-op to make sure he was going to actually reshape the nipple to be round and smaller like my other... but it's looking like he only took the point so it lays flatter and now the nipple looks like he took that part out and its got a weird like flat spot.. IDK super annoying to me - paid an extra $1000.00 for it and I want it right!! (I will bring this up at my 6 week post op in July if once healed it doesn't improve)
I am on my laptop right now (don't have BA photos on here) So I will have to update photos off my phone in a different update, but I wanted to check in.

You should update your pics! How is the scar? I saw mine for the first time this morning and they look way better than expected. Hope you and your new boobies are doing well! lol

I just saw mine today for the first time!! Also got the last stitch out if my nipple so I'm happy I don't have to wear a band aid on it anymore!! And yes I will update them right now- I couldn't off of my laptop when I updated bc my pics aren't on there!
They are doing good though, my right one is still a little uneven and weird right now but I gotta wait to fully settle. My nipple is also not exactly what I wanted but I'll talk to him in July when I see my doctor again

Congrats. How are you feeling?

Feeling pretty good! Managing well with the meds. Worst part is sitting around and taking it easy. Hard to rely on someone else to bathe you and help u dress

You look great! The car bumps do hurt! Im going to stay home today although going to the movies yesterday was nice. I thunk yours already have a nice shape. Mine are still funny & pointy but I knew that would happen because mine were tuberous. We are pretty much going through the same thing right now. That band is starting to irritate me, but ill keep wearing it! Good luck with recovery, Cant wait to see more pics.

Thanks! I'm excited to see how they change bc right now my right is smaller and pointed down a little and my left is nice and full. Both are high obviously so I'm sure they will continue to change and maybe even grow as they settle!! I have faith in my doctors work. He had 3 others the same day! I'm going to do a little walking again today. Tried yesterday and it was too sore. I could feel every step in my incisions. My post op is on thurs, the 22nd. Gonna suck to drive another 3.5 hours. I saw the nurse at his office on wed bc we came back to vt and she said they look good. He will trim my stitches and Give me more after care instructions when I see him. Glad your doing well too. I will keep up with ur recovery as well.
