12 weeks .... holding on

I'm 12 post op and just not feeling this procedure.
I am continuing to have morning boob and they are still sore with a burning sensation. I was told it's the nerve regeneration. The constant nagging discomfort is wearing on me. I wonder if I will ever feel normal again. My PS keeps reassuring me this is all normal and part of the process but I'm not really reading similar stories on here. Everyone else who has had breast augmentation and a lift hasn't post stuff similar to my experience. I know everyone heals differently but this is crazy! 3 months later my right breast is still cone looking and has not dropped! I haven't seen any other posts with this same experience.
I've had to stop doing the full breast massage 3x a day because it made them hurt sooooooo bad. Now I do it once.
I really don't want to regret this choice :/

I am at 11weeks post op

Just an update...I haven't posted in awhile.
I have been massaging 3x a week for almost a month now. It's is such a SLOW process for me with the implants dropping and fluffing. If I have learned anything it's patience... I sure do want what I want when I want it.
This procedure, as common as it is, is not a quick fix or a quick recovery, for me.
My right breast has still not dropped and is sporting a sponge Bob square look on the bottom pole and is more "cone" looking. The left breast is looking great. I'm having concerns that the right breast is experiencing capsular contracture but my PS's nurse thinks it's too early to label it that. She wants to give it another month before I even come back in. Her opinion is that the pec muscle is well developed and more resistant to surrendering to the implant and to give it time. I guess at this point that's all I have is time!

9 weeks po

Well a week ago I was given the green light to do full breast massage.... I have to say I have been very faithful, doing the massage 3 times a day, using the scar lotion, and taking IBU... but my breasts are in a constant state of "sore". Not so sore that I can't function, but definitely a discomfort. Thankfully my breasts are getting softer. I noticed one is bigger than the other, im trying not to panic over this. Im still having muscle contractions, so I am continuing to use the muscle relaxers. Boy this has been a long process..... and I'm not a patient person. I am looking forward to hitting the 6th month mark!
