Feeling pretty good overall. Still very numb, but have gotten more used to that. And noticing some feeling working it’s way from my armpit.
Back to all my workout routines. My chest feels a little more tender when doing chest presses and stretching my elbows below chest line. Not in a bad way, but just still some soft tissue healing likely going on.
Noticing some rippling :/ which supposedly wasn’t going to be a problem. It’s minor and pretty rare. See pic. That’s me pushing the implant. I mainly notice on my right implant, which has overall had more issues. Also laying down and implants splaying away from sternum is awkward. See pic. But right implant seems to not be moving up towards shoulder like it was previously? Still sleeping in bra.
It’s been hard to adjusts to imperfections of implants, I don’t think I expected perfection, but it is a give and take from natural breast and just requires adjusting. Definitely an improvement from my former breasts. Also adjusting better to the size.

34 c!
So I know it’s early and they say not to size. But I feel like most of my inflammation is gone and beasts likely won’t change much? And I need better fitted sports bras. Just got the black in pic, it adjusts on band and straps, which I find that fits best. And 34 c! I know it’s just a stupid random number, but still makes me happy that I’m not bigger! (Of course not VS, which I’m done with). Also I got a supportive no underwire bra which is a XS and very comfortable. Won’t be buying wire bras anymore, for general breast health (clogging/blocking lymph nodes). I started that before BA, but still used old wire bras, which are being tossed.
(Purple sports bra, is an old one, still works, just a little overfilled)

Week 5
Still very numb, but some progress on left breast with feeling coming from my armpit in towards breast (read that nerves regrow at rate of hair).
Getting used to size...in fact... starting to think I’ve could’ve gone bigger!... nope, jk!
Bending over feels less weird (implant stays in place, without feeling like it’s dropping towards nipple) and I’ll try yoga again soon. Standing up and folding in two (nose to knees), breasts feel like they are dropping to chin. Obviously gravity. But wondering if that lessens with time? As they are held tighter with capsular.
Overall back to my gym routine (other than yoga), including body pump, and feel good in that regard.
Lymphatic massages are great and last time tried breast cupping. Highly recommend that! They instantly felt softer and more natural and somehow lighter. I’ll definitely keep doing that. Maybe it will also help with numbness? And help preserve health of breast tissue, which gets thinned and stretched with implants?
The pull on upper pole when I bend over is a little weird and unnatural, (where upper skin meets breast). Anyone else have that? Also, never realized how boney my sternum was, and implants definitely accentuate that, don’t love that look.
Been treating scars religiously and massaging both breast and scars. Therapist also massages scars and does cupping on them. Overall some progress.
