Hi Everyone! Next week will be 2 months from my original surgery and I wanted to jump on here and give a quick update. Overall I LOVE my new breasts. They feel like they are apart of me most of the time. The only time I notice them is when I bend over and feel them move inside me. It's a strange feeling but one that I know I'll get used to and won't even notice anymore.
I'm loving the shape and the size. My incisions are looking good too. I don't have any puckering or anything like that around my areolas anymore but the incision is not really quite smooth yet on one of by breasts. It's not noticeable in my bra or clothes, just when I'm naked. I'm sure as more time goes by it will smooth out and if it doesn't I won't worry about it.
Here's a few things I wanted to mention.
1) I no longer do daily massage to push the implant down because it's dropped enough but I do a different massage to keep the pocket soft. I basically push the implant up towards my collar bone and back towards my chest wall and hold for 30 seconds.
2) My PS told me to take vitamin E pill twice a day. I've done some research and can't really find where this practice has been proven to be successful. At the same time I've come across some info. that suggests that taking vitamin E pills can actually be harmful if taken in large doses. I don't know what really falls under large doses but I've just decided to stop taking it or I take it once a day 3 or 4 times a week. I've never been good at remembering to take meds everyday.
3) I have full nipple sensation back in the left breast but not in the right (hematoma) breast. This sucks because I actually had the feeling back in the right nipple before the hematoma. Hoping it comes back eventually. No real big deal if it doesn't but it's an odd feeling when I touch it and can't feel it.
4) All the swelling has gone down and is gone. I decided to see if I could feel/see any rippling. When laying on my back I can feel a slight ripple at the base of the breast on the underside of the breast at the fold. When I'm standing I don't feel it. My Husband didn't notice it when I had him feel it before or after I told him what he was feeling for. When standing if I bend over or forward I can see/feel slight rippling in the same spot. It doesn't bother me because it's not bad at all and I only notice it because I was looking for it.
Overall, I love them and I think it's time to change my "worth it" status from not sure to YES! :)
