I'm currently 11 days post op. The girls look nothing like I expected. I'm very tight and still in some pain. I have my second post op visit on Wednesday. I know I'm swollen and everyone says they will drop and fluff and hopefully look "normal". I got 700cc uhp so I was obviously going for a good fake look but this is something I've never experienced. If anybody has had a similar experience with a good outcome, I'm all ears at this point because I've pretty much been freaking out the last couple of days. Thanks.

Hi, they can take a while to 'drop & fluff'. If you are concerned call your PS, they're always helpful :) My boobs took 6-9 months to drop

I hope mine will. Otherwise I'll be getting them removed. I did call and, honestly, they weren't that helpful at all but I'm withholding a bad review for a while to see how things go. They were quite rude and basically acted like I should have known what to expect. After my husband called them again because I was in tears, they changed their tone and just assured me that they would continue to drop. I'm not convinced but have an appointment Wednesday. The way I feel physically at this point, I would have rather kept my boobs before. That's just my feeling right now. I hope it changes.

It's very early days & you may have the blues because of the meds & surgery etc. Sometimes massage can help soften them but personally I would ask your PS what's the best thing to do. I think they're looking great & symmetrical. It's easy to be disappointed early on because you can expect the results to be instant when it can take quite a few months before you get your final result. I have very tight skin so mine take ages to drop whereas my friend that is considerably younger has very stretchy skin so her result was quite instant. Hold on in there, give them time, at least up to 9 months :)

There is an amount of worry and remorse that is oral with ba, apparently. See the update where I posted a printout that my frequents PS gave her before surgery. Made me feel a little better.I know is you feel.

I think theyre looking pretty good so far. You got a really large implant and im thinking they will take a bit to getting used too. What were u hoping for exactly? So far they seem to look exactly how they should. Atleast when u compare to other other large implant pictures. Just my opinion.

I guess I was just unprepared in general. I looked at lots of pictures of after photos but I had no idea of the recovery time and "final result" time large implants would take. Honestly, I got this size ore for my husband more than for myself. Lesson learned. I think what bothers me is the jellybean look they have right now where they jut out above my armpits. I'm hoping the will lower some more. Thank you for the encouragement.

Decided to use an compression wrap. Using an ace bandage now. Going to start off for a few hours a day and go braless at night.

Just a personal decision. It may change. I do believe that the meds or the lack thereof now has something to do with my depression.
