All is going very well. Both have settled nicely into place and are very comfortable. They have softened tremendously also. I have not been able to take update pictures in a while, but I will try to soon maybe for my eight week update.
My PS lifted all my restrictions at 6 weeks. I have been sleeping very comfortably on my sides, running, and doing most things normally. I still avoid doing too much lifting just out of extra caution at this time.
I love the way my shirts fit so well now and I don't have to rely on super uncomfortable bras with ultra padding and wires to give me the illusion of boobs then gap when I bend over (that was so annoying my whole life). Now I can go with or without a bra most anywhere which is AMAZING. I got 2 Victoria Secret wire bras on clearance before my surgery and have only worn one of them one time. I love getting to wear ultra soft lounging bras most of the time when I go places.

I have been wearing the band for a week now and the left side has definitely moved lower but the right side is being very stubborn. I created a milestone collage because they have changed so much in such a short time! I hope my journey is helping someone!

My PS removed the steri-strips and gave me a band to help the implants go into place faster. Everything is looking and feeling much better! My PS is fantastic, the scars are basically going to be invisible!!

How long did you have the joint pain for until you removed the implants?
What size were your implants? Thanks!
Honestly, I self diagnosed it. I started having joint pain in one finger completely randomly within a year of the surgery. It was so painful I had to put a finger splint on for a few days. Then it just went away for a few months and came back. Then it became a pain that would occur monthly for no reason. I also was having lower back stiffness along the same timeline that I thought was from my new job and sitting in a bad chair. So I struggled with these body pains for over a year.
I also had a hip injury that took over 6 months to really start to recover from that really shouldn't have been that painful. I began going to the chiropractor at that point and that helped but they always said I was very stiff and it was painful to get adjusted. I had them update my x rays and he said I was starting to show arthritis in my spine and finger which was crazy to me and he said I was pretty young to be showing that.
I told my husband about it and he started doing research and we both agreed that it must be BII. Within a few weeks we agreed I needed to have them removed. It was a huge gamble considering we self diagnosed (I just couldn't stand the thought of a doctor telling me what I was feeling was not legitimate when they didn't feel it). I had the implants a total of 3 1/2 years.
All that to say, I am very happy I took the risk. The finger pain went away within a week of the removal and the back pain went away around one month post op. The first time I went back to the chiropractor after removal he was able to realign my back and neck easily and it was no longer excruciating to get adjusted.
I am still adjusting to smaller breasts and I am very thankful for the fat transfer so I still have something!!
