2 1/2 Months
I don’t know if I see much dropping still since a month ago or so, but maybe it’s too slow to notice. However, I wanted to share new photos and to note that they look and feel softer these days. Still firm when lying on my back which is a bit disappointing because after all, is that not the one of the more common “sexy time” positions?
In general I’m happy with how they are looking so far but still holding out hope that I will see significant increases in lower pole fullness vs lower pole. Would love any stories about this kind of progress in the fort yet for those of you who have been through it! Thanks, ladies!! :-)

Two Moths!!!
I wasn’t able to post for a while due to a hiccup in the app update which is best because “progress” seems very slow—but it is happening! I’m trying to be patient, but I still have days when I worry about the rate at which the implants are settling—particularly on the left side as usual. Does anyone have any stories of encouragement from progress made between 8 weeks post op and 6-12 months op? At my 6 week post op appointment she could feel the left side wasn’t quite as soft (though the difference is a bit negligible) and so she has me taking 400IU of vitamin E twice a day. A few doctors made comments on RealSelf that vitamin E wouldn’t help prevent capsular contracture, but I’m hoping it will still help soften up—I do think that it has certainly made my skin look better overall!
All in all I feel good, very happy with my new breasts yet still trying to accept them as my own—a bit surreal but I definitely feel sexier and more confident for sure!
Anyway, today is exactly two months (almost 9weeks) post surgery. Here are some pics!!

One Month!!!
I finally made it to the one month mark and feeling so much better all around. I have had moments of concern, pain and even new bruising and feted that I had done too much with managing my toddler, but fortunately Dr Lawrence always answered emails and made herself available for quick checks. Amazing!!
Yesterday was my one-month post op appointment and Dr.Lawrence said everything looks great! No more gauze/bandages on incisions and no more bandeau band. The band had actually been causing a rash/bumps that are visible in these photos. She said just a soft sports bra from here for now. Still no lifting more than 5 lbs for two weeks but at least I can see the light t the end of the tunnel!
Overall I’m happy. There is still so much settling that I hope to see over the next weeks and months, but I’m so encouraged by other photos many have shared that show the beautiful changes that happen between 6 weeks and 6 months (or a year in some cases). I do feel like they’re looking a bit small, but I think that has more to do with the fact that they haven’t dropped and fluffed much at this point. I also hope that I will see more cleavage and closeness of tissue between the breasts after fluffing.
