Every day that passes I feel a little more comfortable with my surgery definitely worth it. It's been a little rough getting back into the gym especially doing any chest exercises not because it's painful but because I can feel the implant move. It's just awkward but not painful. During my 3rd and 4th month I was experiencing minor pains like sharp jabs here and there everything I've read is telling me that it's just my nerves reconnecting. I've maintained sensation in both my breasts so not sure how many more nerves are connecting but it's nothing that's causing me concern. Overall I'm happy and can't wait till I hit the 6 month mark to know what they will look like. I was measured at Victoria's Secret and I'm at a 34DD never would have believed it but the bras fit me perfectly the hardest part of all this is getting the right size down it can be super painful to keep guessing. Another downer would be the lack of follow up from my provider, I haven't had any complications so I haven't called however a nice hello how have you been would've really helped me to feel more care han just another paying customer.

I agree! Everyone was super sweet before surgery and then I felt like another number. I feel like I am rushed through post op appts and not really listened to. Not too happy with my results.

I've attached some pictures of my scar they are actually looking a little lighter I've been using neosporan and also mederma they are definitely feeling softer not much bouncy it's easier to life things without feeling discomfort it's still tricky to sleep but overall getting much better. I can tell they are still dropping I don't see much fluffing happening and don't have boob greed yet I still feel uncomfortable showing them off in clothing. So far no one can tell. :)

Hello dear I'm very happy to read your review you describe my own suffering and your pre photos looks exactly like mine after breastfeeding my 2 children so far I can't decide whether to get implants or fat transfer. I've seen 2 PS and both told me that fat transfer can't be done for me because I don't have enough fats in my thighs. But the idea of having implants is scary to me because of all the health threats I read about in the implant removal forums. Please keep posting updates on everything that happens with you to help me take my decision . happy recovery . thank you

My left boob had less breast tissue it room to the implant much better than the right my incision fits nicely in the crease however my right boob hasn't dropped yet which in the picture you can see the difference I know I have to be patient I am feeling better but still not 100% confident in my new girls. My scars look a little dark and will be looking into scar creams to help with this, just 3 weeks post op and I know time will only improve my results. It is hard wearing some kind of bra 24/7 I was advised underwire however I would wake up in my sleep hurting (I'm not used to wearing bras to bed) considering I was a 36AA prior to surgery I know I have to allow my breasts the right care to get the best experience possible I still don't know when my follow up appointment is and will be calling the office to find out, still confused why I haven't heard a peep from the office post op when they were so amazing prior to surgery :/

Wow, mine stated no underwire bra until 12 weeks. That's because mine are still riding high at 4 weeks. Perhaps discuss if you can wear the surgical bra with bottom stabilizer instead, if his concern is that he didn't want ur breasts settling down any more such that they bottom out the breast pocket. I must say ur breasts look amazing for being at week 4.

Thank you! I definitely know the healing process will take patience I started using mederma gel for my scars I'll post pics of those soon still alternating between a loose sports bra and an underwire. It doesn't hurt my incision however i find myself being short winded way too often but I also read that that's a common post op symptom :/
