Week 3 Post-Op Update
My left breast has been a bit sore, firmer than the right, but not warmer — which is normal since it’s my dominant side, so it will likely drop slower. I can finally shower, wash my hair, and do chores, though I still get tired and feel bloated. They’re looking better, and today I noticed some dropping (the right one is moving much faster).
No bleeding or incision issues. My doctor said to start scar cream (if the insicions look clean) and the belt today, but I’ll wait for the steri-strips to fall off naturally before starting the cream. I’ll try the belt tomorrow and slowly increase the hours.
They’re still very tight and high, but that’s expected — especially since I went big for my frame, under the muscle, with nanotextured implants, and my skin was already very tight and perky. Because of that, I know the drop will take longer than average.
I still have little sensation in the breast/nipple area, some numbness on the left back, and sensitivity in the left cleavage. Showering feels scratchy (especially on my left breast), but I think that’s normal nerve healing. I’ve been moisturizing with fragrance-free lotion since the skin looks shiny and stretched.
They still look very asymmetrical but I’m hopeful it will resolve soon.
Overall, no complications, I can move my arms much more, though the incision sites are still sore with movement and when I wake up. Next doctor visit is at 4 weeks so next week!!!

Day 15 post op
I haven’t posted since Day 10 so here’s a little catch-up.
At first everything was fine after my last doctor visit on Day 7, but my left breast started swelling a lot more than my right. It felt hotter, shinier, and more painful, so I panicked thinking infection or seroma. Luckily, when I saw my doctor at the 2-week mark, he reassured me that it looked within the normal range of healing. He didn’t think it was an infection or a seroma (he told me those are very rare in primary augmentations). He just said to monitor it and contact him if it got worse — so far it hasn’t.
My right breast, on the other hand, seems to be dropping faster than the left. The fold looks lower and the nipple sits higher, which freaked me out because it almost looks like bottoming out. I’ve since read that uneven dropping is really common this early on, so I’m trying not to stress.
On top of that, I had a dental emergency. A filling fell out, (I couldn’t go to the dentist because I was completely broke) which turned into a severe gum and tooth infection. The pain was honestly worse than anything from surgery. The dentist fixed it temporarily, but I may still need root canal treatment. The good part is I’m back on antibiotics, which could also protect my implants from any infection spreading.
I’m not allowed to wear my compression belt yet until my incisions are more secure, but I’ll start next week if everything looks good. I’ll also be starting scar cream soon — I didn’t realize how many extra costs there would be with bandages, creams, and appointments. I budgeted €100 for aftercare, but I’ve already spent around €400 and still need more. Definitely something I wish I had prepared better for.
Overall, despite the ups and downs, I feel like I’m healing okay. The implants are still high, hard, and asymmetric, but I know it’s early. The tooth situation was really stressful, but I’m relieved I caught it before it could affect my implants.
I feel more like myself everyday, I can do almost everything at this point except for heavy lifting and raising my arms really high. I forgot what it’s like to not be in constant soreness and pain.
Will update again soon

11 DPO (well technically in between 10–11 since it’s 5am ????)
Weirdly enough, even though I have really bad insomnia and was a ride-or-die stomach sleeper (sometimes side too), I thought sleeping on my back would be impossible… but honestly I don’t have that issue. I think I’ve just gotten used to it by now. Of course I want to roll over sometimes and it’s annoying that I can’t, but that’s about it.
Today I didn’t have any blood thankfully, so things are going smoother. I’m still trying to limit my movements as much as possible. I’ll post pics too — they’re already looking rounder from the front and the size is coming along, but I know they still have a long way to go!
Also my surgeon said I have very tight tissues and for my small frame, since these implants are pretty big/high projected and nanotextured, they might take 1–1.5 years to fully drop and fluff. Trying to be patient
