Now I understand what drop and fluff means
WORTH IT$8,700
Everyday is better. More energy, taking more chances with moving my arms above head, more twisting my torso. Less soreness, numbness and shocks. My implants seem softer, move with me, act and look like real breasts. I've started to massage my breasts to prevent contracture and put scar cream. I've got class III type skin so my hopes that the scars will be invisible in a year is not realistic. However the scars are a small price to pay, I'm smiling in the mirror when I look at myself.

Better than the day before
I am one of those people that is taking her time to recover. I needed the 2 weeks off before I went back to work. While I wasn't in pain, it felt uncomfortable for me to wear a bra because my skin is so sensitive and the electric shocks sometimes take my breath away! Walking was fine but going at a fast pace leaves me very sore and achy. I've been going at a snail's pace and I hope to be getting back to my regular pre-BA physical routine of walk/jog and hot yoga. Tomorrow will be my 5 week follow up with my doctor. I'm really hoping she will say I'm healing well.

Beautiful! I was also your age when I had surgery. What a journey, eh? Every time I look in the mirror I remain pleased. Congratulations dear.

First day back to work and just for giggles.
I had enough energy to last through my first day back at work. Afternoon coffee (which I don't normally do) helped. I have a desk job which doesn't require lifting anything heavy, reaching, using your arms or hands over my head. With that said, I still felt twinges of pain and soreness when I reached for a book across my desk, carried couple of binders/notebooks down the hall, put more paper in the printe then stapled the frigging report! I came home and napped.
My skin is itchy and is peeling a bit. I normally put lotion after showering but the nurse said to keep the area dry after showering. So I've not put anything on them. I get little pinches/shocks which I think is from my nerves regenerating. My skin is numb-like when you feel your face after having dental work done. I haven't looked at my incisions too closely. I'm also slightly sleep deprived because I'm a side and stomach sleeper. Am I now consigned to sleeping on my back forever?!
Lastly, I am wearing on the black bra with my implants, not the rice baggies. And for giggles, I put on my everyday bra with the air inserts in them.

They look great!!! Congratulations on your new girls!!! Just a suggestion - I use Badgers Vanilla Coconut Body Moisturizer, which I purchased from Amazon, and I apply it to the sides (near the underarm area) and right under the breast - below the incision - so the skin becomes moisturized and soft to allow the skin to stretch and accommodate the falling of the implant. It has really helped with the feeling of the skin pulling in either sides. You don't need a lot because it is like a balm so a little goes a long way. Good luck and happy recovery!!!
