Breast Augmentation- 495cc silicone. 24 years old, 5’3, 130lbs, 1 child

5 days to 15 days post op

Two weeks since surgery! They are slowly yet surely softening. I was having issues with my left side- pain in my armpit, side of boob, and my underarm felt bruised all the way down to my elbow, as well as any time I raised that arm it sent a sharp shocking feeling down my arm and into my hand that would then cause numbness and tingling in my fingers. The nurses confirmed what I assumed was a nerve issue, and ordered me to discontinue use of that arm as much as possible to give it extra time to heal. It was pretty miserable up until a few days ago. As well as that issue, my left side is much higher and tighter than the right side, so I have deemed it my “problem child.” Lol
I am excited for more time to pass, and to finally start feeling like myself again. I hate all the limitations and the feeling of “overdoing it” constantly. I have read so many reviews of women who are completely in love with them from the start. I have yet to feel that. Not that I am the least bit regretful of my decision, I just know with time they are going to look/feel like my own so I think it’s just impatience at this point. I have a trip to Costa Rica in 8 weeks, and I am praying they will have settled a good bit by then and I will feel more confident with them. I am so thankful I decided to get them done in the fall because I would never wear a bikini or low cut top in their current condition lol luckily it is getting chilly here in lower Alabama, so chunky sweaters have been my go to!
I am still wearing my sports bra and band 24/7, and at this point it is uncomfortable to do anything without them on. They just feel heavy and out of place without being strapped down lol the outer side of both breasts is still numb, but my nipple and the rest of my boobs have normal sensation. All in all, the past two weeks have been rough, but I am excited for the progress and to finally be over the two week mark. :)
