7 weeks post up
I noticed after I took my bandages off (5 days post up), that there is a slight height difference on my breast. I suspected it to be a normal asymmetry that will solve itself during the healing process. But the same day I did my surgery, I was taking my first walk still at the clinic - I filled my lungs a little extra as I was feeling a little dizzy, and then I felt a little pull under one of my boob. It kind of felt like something ripping (no pain). I told my surgeon about it, and he assured me that it was probably nothing and that I would be fine. Now since this is the same boob that now sits a bit lower than the other, I could not shake the feeling that this is not just a normal asymmetry and maybe it was related to this episode right after surgery. So I texted my surgeon about it, and he told me that there is a possibility that one of the threads connected to the rib had ripped or loosened. He wants to wait and have a consult about it when I’m about two months post up. This had me worried and stressed about what it would possibly mean for the future. I felt sad about the possibility of maybe a new operation to fix it, and I was just starting to doubt this decision to operate in the first place.
Fast forward to 7 weeks post up - I’m back to work and I feel a lot more like myself. I do feel some discomfort when using my breast muscles in different activities and movements, but im hoping this will settle going forward (feeling no direct pain). I’m assuming it’s my muscles still being tight around the implant. Sometimes I do feel a sharp pain randomly here and there, especially on my right boob, but this only lasts for a few seconds or minutes. Maybe it’s the nerves healing after being cut or something? I Will be talking to my surgeon about it on my check up though.
I am getting used to my boobs over all, they have soften and dropped nicely so far. They do feel surprisingly a lot like just another part of my body, and I am very happy about the size of them. It also feels freeing to not feel restricted to a limited type of clothing anymore, as I felt before. Shopping is a lot more fun and I am looking forward to buy new clothes going forward. I just feel more feminine and confident than I did before.
As for the asymmetry, I feel like it’s gotten a little better. And I am hoping it’s just a “normal” asymmetry that will fix itself with time, rather than a consequence of something wrong with the surgery. Also I feel like a tiny asymmetry is ok as long it’s not a complication, maybe it only makes it look more natural (?). A little curious for my follow up with the surgeon in a few weeks.

4 days post up breast augmentation
I did my surgery 4 days ago, where I went with 320 cc Demi (motiva ergonomix) under the muscle. I am 157cm and around 55kg. I was very concerned beforehand that the size would be too big for my body or just too big of a difference from what I started with (which was nothing). I was therefore contemplating on going for the mini, but after my surgeon recommended the Demi I decided to trust him on it in the end. The size was recommended to me based of my measurements. My thoughts before was that I would rather feel like it was a little too small than to feel it was too big post up. I never really had anything before, and I did not want my body to not feel like myself after surgery. But I also wanted to have something to work with and to fit better with different clothing.
My recovery was honestly worse than I thought it was gonna be. I was prepared to have pain, but maybe not as bad as I have experienced. The first 3 days have been rough, and I needed help to do most things. I also think the feeling of being uncomfortable constantly has made it worse. Note: I was a little stubborn on the painkillers the first day or two. I have also experienced so much bloating which has been rough on top of it all.
Today, day 4, has been noticeable better overall. I get around more easily, I don't need as much help and I have more mentally capacity. Today was also the first day I took my bra off to take a little sneak peek. It was nice to breathe a little since the bra is tight and a little claustrophobic. I'm having my first proper shower tomorrow, where I will take off my bandages and have a proper look. My thoughts atm, is that I definitely don't think it is too big thankfully. I am curious to see how they evolve, and I am very excited going forward.
