I'm so happy. I've never felt so secure and comfortable with my body. I still have pretty prominent scars on the bottom, but they are lessening with scar creme twice a day. There is a small flat spot on the bottom from healing, I'm in hopes that will continue to improve-but over all I am completely happy with the results and happy I went with Dr. Chiu and his team. I am just now starting upper body work outs and it feels great! I wanted to take it slow regrowing muscle again because I wanted to be very careful to not increase chances of getting a capsule. I would say after 6 weeks I no longer worried about being extra delicate with my body and routines. I still had trouble performing some tasks and could hardly get my suitcase out o the overhead compartment at the airport, for example. There was some strain. I would say by the two month mark I was completely back to normal with the exception of not being capable of pushups and upper body workouts.

can you walk on treadmills or do ellipticals a few weeks after the surgery?

Now that I've had my breasts done, I am running into countless women who have also gotten implants. I guess its like when you start driving a car and realize how many there are just like your's out there. I'm finding that a LOT of women have to have secondary, or even a third procedure done at some point. It honestly seems more common than not. In my case, it was likely due to pulling a muscle after the fact. Some women developed capsular contracture because they didn't realize how careful they need to be after surgery, they started feeling better and immediately jumped back into normal activities. A lot of women went with the cheaper option and weren't closed properly and have issues with their implants moving around or are unbalanced. I'm feeling really happy with my doctor because they took such great care of me and I've yet to find anyone else who has been as lucky as me care wise the second time around. Some women went for implants between 6-8 and ended up spending around 20 grand by the end for revisions! :/ And that is just implants... I had a lift and implants.

Feeling grateful and confident... my girls are really healing nicely! Next week I will start massage and scar creme.

I'm 4 days post-op today and feeling swollen and tight for sure. Sorry to here you had complications but sounds like you got them under control. I found out right before surgery a friend from church had them done ten years ago and I never knew. We had gotten close last 3 years so I guess I never noticed just thought she was blessed with nice boobs. It made me feel great to know there are women from all walks of life who desired like me to feel confident with figure. She was so supportive and happy for me. So glad I have this site too and all these stories good and bad alike to make the journey easier. Definitely need to take your advice on taking it easy to avoid complications. Keep us posted!

How are you feeling now? xx

A lot better, after the fluid was drained I felt zoo much better. Instead of pain, I would just describe the feeling as soreness. It's now days 15 and 8 post op and there is a little soreness, but I'm off pain meds. I would say a 1 on a scale of 1-10
