So...I reached the 2 week mark today...here's the lowdown: still a lot of muscle soreness, especially along the sides of my boobs. Still no sensation in my right nipple. A new thing started a couple days ago...my nipples harden at random times- totally unprovoked! It happened all day yesterday and it isn't pleasant, kinda hurts. I guess my poor stretched nerves are readjusting....coming back to life! I am VERY happy with the way my boobs look at this point of the healing process. They are not sitting too high, they look fairly natural in my opinion, which is awesome. The ONE thing that I want the most at this point is for them to soften more! You can't tell from the pictures, but they are still really firm and it takes a lot of effort to push them together...but you can bet I'm being religious about massaging them to speed this process along...and I have read enough to know it can take MONTHS. Still no bra yet, incisions look great though...love Bio Oil! I'll probably post again at one month...

You look fantastic! My surgery is scheduled for January 10, and I am STILL "boob shopping" for the perfect size. You and I are almost identical build and size (Im 5'1, 105lbs, currently a A-B cup; B with birth control hormones on board) and I just want to refill and put back in what I once had, something that looks as natural as possible. I was first going to go with 250, but after perusing this site, and not wanting to have ANY regrets either way, I am thinking 300, moderate profile plus. My PS suggested 300 might be a bit much, based on my goal, but The 300s look great on you! I think I am going to push for the 300s. I know your post was over a year ago, but do you have any updates. I'd love to know the ultimate outcome, after everything settled. Thank you so much for posting!

They're one week old today! Still really tight, chest muscles VERY sore, especially all along the sides of the implants. I saw Dr. Chen yesterday and he showed me how to do the massaging exercises....I'm glad to get started on this! Anxious to expedite the softening process. I can almost push them together all the way...yay! Right nipple still numb...

I'll be honest, today I'm annoyed with them, lol....but that's just my impatience talking. They look fantastic for so soon post-op, but dang it, they're still so tight and sore! I want them to be soft and moveable..NOW!!!! Haha. I know the healing process and the stages I have to go through. Right boob still numb, but having shooting pains though it today, so I'll take that as a good sign....hope for the future, ha! Had no choice but to go get a few groceries yesterday afternoon...ugh, felt like death warmed over afterwards! Too much too soon, for sure! I'll go see Dr. Chen tomorrow for my first post-op followup, looking forward to that! Still feeling like the man's a genius! I haven't seen too many people mention having a lot of crepitus around their implants...? That's little air pockets surrounding the implants. You can feel it when you lightly press around your boobs and it even makes funny little air bubble sounds. Perfectly harmless, perfectly common, and today it seems to be disappearing.

Thank you! No lift necessary. I honestly think that a lift isn't necessary unless you were previously bigger busted and had gotten really saggy. I was only a B cup before and wasn't super saggy.
