17 days post

a little over 2 weeks post op

WORTH IT$7,600
hey just a quick update.. i am so so happy with my results and ive never felt this confident before! they are dropping and softening superrrr fast, everyone said it would take months but theyre pretty squishy already for being this soon out. most of the pain went away the only thing is my right nipple really hurts when i touch it or it rubs against something. it’s super sensitive and when i touch it it kinda fees like a bruise? But I read that its normal sooo whatever. Also my incisions look really good im gonna start my scar gel treatments in 2 weeks. Umm not sure what else im missing i guess ill just make another update post later on as im not sure if anyone even reads these but heres some pics and a video (if they post lol)

also kinda random but ive had inverted nipples my whole life and my right one was never able to get hard, they kinda always looked like( • Y - )haha but ever since they’ve dropped it kind of pushed out my nipple?? which is so weird because ive never seen my right nipple poke out in my life!!! but i’m soo glad bc its always been a huge insecurity of mine
Wait, I have questions I hope you don't mind
1. Do you still have to wear tapes over your incisions?
2. Do you still wear your compression bra?
3. Are you wearing normal bras already?
4. How high can you lift your arms?
5. Does your boobs feel heavy without a bra on?
It's crazy that you can move your boobs around, my surgeon said I shouldn't move them in any way and they're not soft like yours yet but if I hold them while driving then I can feel the gel jiggle
hey of course!
1. No I was told to take them off two weeks post op, and the incisions are already fully closed
2. I wear my compression/surgical bra probably 60% of the time and then just like a sports bra or some kind of supportive non underwire bra like the purple-ish one I'm wearing in the pic
3. No underwire bras yet! I believe they said I can start 4-6 weeks post op
4. I can lift my arms normally, like fully above my head or to the side
5. They don't feel heavy at all! It honestly feels the same as before, I'm not like conscious of the implants at all.
6. Also about me moving them, my surgeon told me to make sure I'm moving them around and massaging them at least 2 times a day because it significantly reduces the risk of capsular contracture and also helps them drop/soften faster. So hmmmm I'm wondering why your surgeon said not to move them around because usually you're supposed to start the massages at 1 week post op??
That's so weird, I have to wear both the tape and bra for another 5 weeks?! I'm going to ask about the massages. Is yours fully over the muscle or is it placed under the fascia (over the muscle but under the muscle fascia, its not a dual plane either) I'm sorry for the questions, I'm so worried and I have no one else to talk to about this. My boobs are nowhere near as soft as yours, I'm too afraid to squeeze them because I was told not to
No problem at all ask all the questions you need!!! Hmm yeah wearing the compression bra for that long is typically normal but the tape is a bit questionable... Is it tape that you are reapplying? Or do they want you to keep on the same tape that you left surgery with? I believe mine is fully under the muscle because she never told me otherwise. But definitely don't worry about them being soft yet!! It all depends on your starting anatomy and how fast your muscle/skin adapts to being stretched by the implants. I have a cousin who got hers done and she was shocked by how fast mine are softening because she said hers didn't jiggle till like 4 months post op. Mine just softened way faster than most people for some reason. The only thing that's concerning to me is that they've told you not to move them around because my surgeon and nurses emphasized that the massages are super important to do for the first 3 months... I guess it just depends on your surgeons process because I just looked it up and apparently it's normal for some surgeons to tell you to start massages early, while some advise to start later on like 6-7 weeks post op. So I'd say to listen to your surgeon!
Thank you so much! And yes, I have to reapply the tape and I'm also starting my scar treatment today. Oh thank goodness, I was depressed the whole day yesterday but I read that some people's implants only start softening after 4months, which implant brand did your friend have and what size was hers? You're very young so maybe your healing is faster or maybe you just heal fast in general ahahah. I read massaging can cause bleeding if done too early, maybe my surgeon will suggest I start after 2 months but other than the softness issue, my boobs are extremely beautiful, it's exactly as my wish pic but I am afraid for the softness, I pro ably will swap to mentor one day
Of course!! Reapplying the tape makes senseee, I was thinking you had to keep the same tape on this whole time I was like no way that could be sanitary haha. My cousin got Natrelle 330cc Moderate profile and started off COMPLETELY flat so it took a while for hers to soften. And I also read that yesterday!! It kind of scared me a bit because I've been a little rough with my massages.. but so far no complications (fingers crossed)! Are your implants motiva? And what was your starting anatomy like?
They are motiva ergonomix and I regret not asking to feel the mentor implant because the ergonomix is supposed to feel like natural breast so I thought that naturally meant its the softest, I've only seen one person with motivas on here who's boobs turned out soft but I don't know what her starting anatomy looked like, it was just an A cup. I was also an A, I had enough tissue to go over the muscle. I think I had a good enough amount but still flat. My surgeon did say my skin or tissue was tight or something like that but I'll ask him if they'll be soft and how much swapping them out for mentors would be but at the same time I don't want to sacrifice the safety features of motivas *sigh* but the weird thing is is that I can feel them jiggle when I walk or when I'm in the car, I'll just have to wait for 4-6 months and see how soft they get

I read that surgeons would ask those with smooth implants to massage because they don't have the same grip as textured implants.

I took the tapes off yesterday, I was so scared I'd rip the stitches but I didn't see any, the line is so thin I couldn't even tell it was there which is good.
Wait you did over the muscle with textured implants? Okay that makes a lot of sense as to why we have completely different post op instructions haha. And thats good about the incisions!! Just keep being patient i’m sure they’ll soften up soon, especially with going OTM :)

Day of treatment

it’s done guys!

not sure if anyone even sees these so im not gonna post too much but guysss i did it! when i was waiting for the doctor to come in to mark me i was genuinely so terrified i couldnt stop shaking and feeling like I was going to throw up so the nurse came in and put some kind of calming liquid into my IV. That really calmed me down a lot and it was all honestly a blur from there. I remember waking up and talking nonsense to the nurses haha. Then my mom picked me up and the ride was perfectly fine, now i’ll be staying at my grandmas house for the weekend. I’m trying not to take the prescribed pain meds ive been completely fine with the muscle relaxers and extra strength tylenol. I’d say my pain level is around a 5/10 so not too bad. No sharp pains it’s really just super sore especially in my sternum. I feel like i’ll be in for a rude awakening when i wake up tho lol everyone says day 2 and 3 are the hardest, so definitely not looking forward to that. Oh by the way we discussed trying 300cc in my right and 250cc in my left but it didnt end up fitting unfortunately. So I ended up with 275cc in MY right and 225cc in my right! I was disappointed when I heard but I think they’re perfectly proportionate to my body. Here’s some pics I took today! Can’t wait to see them drop i’m super excited!!!!!

lol i meant 225cc in my left* not right
Hiiii, it's me again. Congratulations! I'm currently 4 days post op and had 265cc demi subfascial. We're basically going through this together hahaha. So far so good on my side, wishing you a quick smooth recovery
Heyy thank you!! Has the pain mostly subsided by day 4? I woke up this morning in a lot more pain than yesterday, but still bearable. Have you taken a peak at them yet haha?
My back hurt more than my boobs did, I actually haven't had any pain other than when getting up after laying or sitting down but day 2 and 3 were definitely the worst, it's easier to move around now but whatever you do do it slowly. I have looked at them, they look good but very swollen, the swelling went down quite a bit since yesterday so im going to look at them later tonight. Oh yes, my compression bra is what caused me pain more than anything, now I just sit with a few of the bottom bra clips unclipped because it was digging into my incisions
*To answer your question though no pain 4 days post op
thats awesome to hear! only 2-3 days left of this pain then lol. My bra isnt causing me any discomfort so i’m wondering if its not supportive enough? Hopefully not bc this is the one they provided me haha. But i’m so happy for us! Wishing us a happy drop and fluff journey over the next couple weeks/months
Maybe your bra is the right fit, I have my 1 week post op tomorrow. I will ask my surgeon if my bra is too small and thank you so much

1 day pre

2 more days

Hiii 2 more days left till i have boobs! I’m not as nervous as i was before I think i’m just ready to get this over with. I’ve kind of been having second thoughts though, like what the heck am i doing do i even want this?! But then I think back to 10 year old me when i started stuffing my bras and wishing I was developing like the other girls, being bullied all throughout highschool, feeling not confident in my prom dress and bikini tops, and just not feeling like a woman overall. And that kind of eases my mind on it all. I’ve also kind of been a littleeeeee self conscious about what peope are going to think but honestly damned if you do damned if you dont lol. I was bullied my whole life for being flatchested and if people still have things to say after then whateverrr. At the end of the day im doing this for me :) Anyways i got some button up pajamas today and some surgical bras from amazon and now i’m just mentally preparing myself for thursday.
