3 week drop and fluff progress
3 week up date! Everything feels more comfortable, boobs are softening all the time, the pain and lumpiness on one scar is easing too. Incision sites are looking good, I've been using stratderm gel twice a day which is helping!
Right (dominant) side seems to be dropping quicker than the left! Wearing my surgical bra day and night

2 week post op update after 375cc motiva ergonomix
2 weeks in and they are starting to look/feel better. They have started to soften, I don't take pain killers anymore. The first week was intense and I underestimated the recovery but I'm doing much better now. Slept sort of flat on my back last for the first time! I sleep with many many pillows and it's absolutely the key to finding a comfy spot to sleep in. I'm talking like 6 or 7 pillows, hard and soft and u-shaped! They have made it So much easier to get comfortable when I'm usually a side sleeper.
I still feel the size of implant, or more specifically the projection, is more than I intended. Perhaps that will change as the drop and fluff happens. I can feel them starting to soften up already and I can see in the front facing photo that they are filling out a bit already!
One of my scars has 2 hard lumps underneath it, I took the bandages off yesterday and started to use strataderm silicone gel but I'm not sure how much pressure to apply? The lumps don't feel like collagen and there's not way collagen could grow that size in 2weeks anyway. It's like it's something inside that's been tethered down and stitched into place. I also have pain and discomfort this side only, like something internally is being stretched and pulled, specifically above the scar, not a general pain, it's hard to describe.
Otherwise I am starting to like them, I love how they look in clothes and how they fill out clothes. I've gained 3 inches around my bust since before and after my surgery. Not sure where il end up in bra sizing. Have a spa day coming up in a month and not sure how I can hide these from my family though! Let's see how things settle though.
Those big emotions in the first week post op are very real!! I wish the clinic warns you about them more!

Feel like breast implants are too big
I'm 5days post op, abdominal swelling and discomfort has settled, some firmness starting to go away from the breast area which is a relief as they were hard as rocks. Tapering down on my pain meds. Things are getting easier.
Having a little freak out moment. I know they're high and perky and pointy and I'm good with all that, I know that they'll settle over the next 6months or more. What's getting to me is the volume size. I know there's swelling but is there really THAT much swelling? Everyone tells you they drop and fluff and get BIGGER with the fluff process. I can't handle any bigger, I want them smaller, like maybe 30% smaller! What do I believe? That they're swollen and will get smaller or that they have to settle and fluff so will get bigger? All the drop and fluff photos look like the breasts are bigger in the end up! Less upper volume yes, but as a whole they always seem larger due to the bottom dropping and fluffing out more. How can something fluff and get smaller?
Has anyone had implants and spent the first few months thinking they were huge but then after the settled in they became less volumous?? Or is it that you just got used to them?
Just having a little freak out, all help welcomed!

Hey! I'm scheduled for a lift and implant on Wednesday! April 26, my birthday! I'll be 36. I have myself so freaked out and worried that I chose too big of an implant and that im going to look ridiculous. I even called the office this morning "what if I want to change my implant size? Do I have to reschedule it?" The girl I talked to reassured me and said it would be OK, to relax. If I reschedule I'd pretty lose money. So, fuck it! I'm doing it! Lol I'm still waiting for a call from the office for my surgery time! I went with 495cc high profile Sientra. Good luck! Yours look great!
This was me 3 days before surgery too! I was ringing the office and the plastic surgeon was talking me down, telling me to stay with the plan! But at the back of my mind it was all paid for so I had to go through with it too! (I'm glad I did) You know what, I got home later yesterday and the swelling had eased some more and Ive relaxed and calmed down a bit! A few of my friends have text and told me they hated their implants in the first few weeks and after a few months and regretted surgery but then they loved the shape they settled into! And anyone that seems to love their implants after surgery always wishes they went bigger after a few months! So I think I was freaking out for no reason at all! No matter how many times someone tells you that you have to wait months and months to see the final result there will always be that nervous fear that maybe your the exception and they might not settle lol.
At the end of the day I did trust my surgeon, I had explained the look I was after, I had shown photos, he had shown me photos of work he had done that was similar and I liked it. I just needed that last minute reassurance beforehand (and it would seem after too!). It's a really big trust process!

Hey! Thanks for replying! TOMORROW!!! I can't believe it's actually happening! How long ago was your procedure? How are you feeling? I'm so nervous, it doesn't seem real! I'm mostly nervous for how my 1yr old is going ro handle mum mum not being able to pick him up. It will all work out and be OK, I'm still nervous.
Oh Best of luck! Let me know how your surgery went! I'm only day 8 post op, it's been a roller coaster of emotions! I didn't prepare for it!
You can still hug and play with your one year old, hopefully that will distract them when they want to be lifted. It's so hard to get rest with children, try your best to get as much of it as possible! It will help your recovery so much!

Feeling the exact same way, I’m 4 days PO and I feel like they’re way too big! One of my friends who’s had hers for 8 years said they will get smaller once the swelling subsides, so I’m really hoping that’s true!!
Keep us posted if you get more info!

Yep, everyone I talk to who have had implants keep telling me the same thing, after the first few months they settle in and you'll grow to like them and see that they really were the best size for you. And their boobs all look great and natural! My surgeon has so much experience I really do need to trust him which is so hard! The plus side is that when I'm wearing tshirts they don't seem too big or noticeable so that's good I guess!
