Everything seems to be healing well. Still super happy with them. I don't have much pain anymore but my nipples are still really sensitive. I do have what feels like air bubbles or something on my left breast on the outer portion near my inframammary fold. I can like push them around? Not sure if that is the implant? I am having a hard time distinguishing what is my breast tissue and what is the implant. Otherwise everything is good. Scars are healing well.

Had the hubs take a couple photos with flash so you can more clearly how they are doing. They are dropping every day but still super high. I've been slouching just because I'm like super afraid I'll rip my incisions or something lol. So please excuse my awful posture. Definitely still in love with them! I think they are the perfect size where I can play them up or tone them down with a more loose fitting top if I want to for work. Went back to work yesterday, I'm a patient coordinator for a small practice so it's pretty laid back. But today got a touch busy and I started getting a little dizzy and out of it so I had to slow down. I am home now trying to take it easy and my husband is cooking for the kids and I. The compression bra started feeling pretty uncomfortable which I'm assuming indicates I was getting pretty swollen. But I am resting with some frozen corn now and it is much better lol. I cannot wait till all the major healing is over! Oh, another thing I noticed over the weekend is my boobs weren't numb anymore but instead they had this super uncomfortable sensation. Almost like burning? The slightest touch was unbearable. Especially on my nipples. And I was ready to rip the bra off. But that has since improved and I have a post op on Friday to get my stitches taken out and learn how to massage. Wish me luck! Sorry for the super long post! :P

You are looking great, this is a long journey and waiting is torture!! I used a cream called germolene if nips get too bad, it is a mild anesthetic for minor burns but numbs them nicely!! I do massage nips too and this has helped desensitize them although it hurt at first. Good luck and happy healing :)

I will have to look for that! They are definitely bothering me again today. Ugh! Such torture! But so worth it! Thank you!! :)

How did it go at your post op? Hope all good? :)

Doing great! Got my stitches taken out and got to see my incisions briefly before they put some tape on for me. The incisions are barely visible! Will take photos when I change the tape soon. (:

These are from yesterday. I feel like they're coming down a little everyday. Still have the strips over my incisions.
