I am now 6 weeks, I am loving my results, I’m still sleeping in a slight elevated position & learned that using a neck pillow has helped me sleep better. Im so glad I went with transaxillary method, I couldn’t be happier.

Thank you for posting! You look so good!! They are the perfect size for your body. I hope mine start settling down as much as your's have in the next 3 weeks. How is your swelling. Do the feel a little squishier and does your chest feel less tight. I'm so annoyed and uncomfortable with mine right now, but it's only been a week.
oh! I just realized you are 6 weeks in so I hope mine settle like your's in 5 weeks :)
I bought a set of vitamins from my surgeon and it came with arnica, which I think helped a lot. I feel like most the swelling is gone now. They're feeling squishier. They looked so tight the first 2-3 weeks. I've been applying lotion on my skin just to help keep it moisture and my skin won't get too itchy as the skin is stretching.
Thank you just ordered some Anica on amazon that will get her tomorrow. Got the oral and topical gel so hopefully between those two I'll feel some relief.
I canceled the amazon order and just went to the store to pick up some arnica supplements and gel and they worked really well! My swelling feels much more manageable now. Thank you so much for the advice!
Good to hear ! Make sure you rest up. I took the whole week off
What’s your height and weight and do you have photos of your full body? I have a surgery scheduled in 2 weeks and still can’t decide my size.
I'm 5'2 weight 115
Thanks
What profile did you go with, style and what was your measurement under your breast (mine is 10cm).
Do you have cohesive in or soft touch?

7 Days post op

I am now on day 7, I am now able to get dressed on my own. Pain level was 2-3, i think the hardest part was having someone there the whole time helping me get out of bed. I had little to no arm movements to make sure my incisions healed right. My incision was transaxillary and I’m super happy I went with that method, the scar is healing so good I’m sure it will barely be noticeable.

What profile did you get?
How are you they turning out? I got mine done 6 days ago and am curious how your's are looking because mine look similar to yours now
I'll post more pictures
Awesome! Thank you!
Did you go under muscle? They look nice

2 Days Post Op

Still doing great so far, just a bit pressure. No pain. I was able to shower today and remove the net.

You look great! I'm going for my surgery in 2 weeks - 410 soft touch. I'm really hoping to do without pain meds after surgery too. Which profile natrelle did you get and where are your incisions?
The picture I posted is my wish pic, I will upload some pictures. I am so happy overall, my results are great I bruised maybe a quarter size and that's how you know Dr.Cheng is very gentle during surgery. I went transaxillary, best decision. Incisions are looking great.
Congratulations!
I had my pre-op today. Now I'm feeling nervous. I told them I'd like to use the bare minimum narcotics for recovery and was warned to take ALL my prescriptions for at least 3 days after :(
