Im almost 9 weeks and I am concerned with the dropping rate. My left has dropped significantly and the right not so much. Im starting to think I am in the early stages of bottoming out or lateral displacement on the left. I am waiting to hear back from my PS.

What kind of things did your doctor recommend to encourage dropping and softening? You are coming along nicely! Just need a little more on the right side!

Just massage that's it.

I'm sorry to hear that, but you did the right thing by contacting your PS right away. Do you think it could be a capsular contraction? Or do you think it's just stubborn and needs extra love? Please keep us posted!

Hm... Maybe just some extra time and massage will help. Keep us posted! Thank you for the progress photo

Thank you for posting all the post op pics. They have been very helpful to me. I wanted to see how you are now. Have they evened out a bit? Also, I noticed that your incisions did not look entirely healed, have those healed? I am going in next month so I wanted to know more than just how big I would be. Your posts were great because they showed the possible bruising I could encounter. thanks again

I'm officially 3 weeks post op and things are looking good. Breast are starting to drop, bruising about gone!! My incisions are the same to me aside from less bruising. I'm still dealing with extreme nipple sensitivity. Stated putting bio oil on my breast also, noticing my stretch marks are more visible with the dropping. No pain, I can feel my left implant sliding around when I bend over, it's an irritating feeling. Over all I'm liking them now.

Today is 2 weeks post. Coming along good, still a lot of bruising in my right breast and sits higher and boxier still. Left side is dropping and feels squishy compared to my right. I have a lot of itching and skin irritation all over. Zingers throughout the day. My nipples are extremely sensitive, almost the feeling of thrush from breast feeding. Still wearing my wonderful band. I have my followup tomorrow so hopefully I can throw that thing away!! My incisions are still covered but itch and hurt sometimes when I do my breast massages. Really begin working on massaging the right since that side seems to be more stubborn. Not really any pain anymore just the skin irritations. Started using Arnicare cream for my bruising, some other ladies mentioned using it and it working, worth a shot.
I'm hoping I look bigger than I currently do, I thought 600cc would have looked bigger but not really, probably my height doesn't help though. I know the d&f definitely makes a difference though. Only time will tell.

They're looking so good. Hopefully tomorrow you can lose the band. I have avoided one so far. (I go for my 2 wk post op check up tomorrow too). I have started itching like crazy, plus, my skin is peeling now. Not sure if it's skin or glue???I haven't started massages yet, except to rub bio oil on. The d&f will make a huge difference. It looks like you still have a ways to go. This was a revision for me so They seem so be dropping a lot faster this time. Patience. It sucks, I know.

Thanks, good luck with your appt tomorrow also. Massaging has really helped with the sunburn feeling and itching. Some spots are really sensitive still.

I bet when they completely drop and fluff they will be bigger! They are still high so I understand it's hard to visualize them settling into their pocket. Great to hear you aren't in pain!
