Almost 1 month post

I've been trying to not look at them as much, hoping to see more progress when I actually took the time to look. I havent had any pain, just some been a little uncomfortable when ever the muscle tightens up. (Usually just in the shower while I'm washing my hair and when I get into bed tryung to gey comfortable)
I did this huge stretch the other morning when I was yawning, and heard this loud popping noise from the right side. Wow, that scared me for a min. I thought I broke something, lol.
I had my 3 week post op appt a few days ago. My PS said to give it some more time for them to settle and that everything looked good.
I'm just concerned that the bottom half won't fill out, especially on the left side. That was the bigger one, and the one that was more droopy. Even since he adjusted my crease, will they still fall into that spot? What I mean is, since they were droopy before, are they ever going to get full on the bottom half?
I am still a bit upset with the fact that the asymmetry wasn't addressed in surgery. So i still have a boob that's a half a cup size of not bigger than the other. He made them 500/500. Also, the swelling has gone down and they have shrunk in size, so yes, I thought they'd be bigger. But hopefully the bottom half will fill out more in the next few months, and everything will work out.

Getting a bit discouraged!

All of my pain is gone as of yesterday. They're still a little sore around the nipple and I'm still numb and tingly feeling. I feel like a freak without a bra on. I'm starting to think they will never come down. I had the band cut to correct the tuberous part, but how long does it take to see improvements? I'm having about 4-5 muscle spasms a day where they tighten up pretty hard. Is that still normal to have that many 2 weeks post op?

Questions, questions,questions....

My PS said to not start massaging until the 2 week mark, which I'm still a week away from. In the morning and certain times of the day I feel a lot of tightness. I kinda feel like they're swelling a little bit. I've been icing them with ice packs through out the day. The bras I've bought are extra large and I feel like they're too tight during the times they feel swollen. Should I go without a sports bra while this is happening?

From the very first phone call I made to their office, until my 1st post op appointment was wonderful. Everyone was so nice and friendly. Heather, the out of state patient coordinator, was very helpful as well. She answered all of my questions mostly over the phone. She also sent me lots of choices for hotels in the area for me to stay. Dr. Hedden, was very friendly and was there to answer anything I asked. He told me the pros and cons of my tubular procedure and breast augmentation. He was very honest and made sure I understood all the details about what had been done. If I do need the lift later on after I heal, I'll definitely be coming to see him and his staff again. I couldn't have picked a better surgeon.
