A Cup to 325cc Sientra Mod+ Implants, 5’7, 140lb Mom of 2

5 months post op! It’s been pretty smooth sailing these few months. The hardest part has been continuing to modify workouts to avoid specific chest exercises but we’re making do!

I still have some numbness and sensitivity in my left breast but everything else feels totally normal and natural! Scars are fading nicely and it’s been a lovely swimsuit season!

I’m just over 6 weeks post op and I think my main update is that I can’t believe how natural they FEEL. I never expected fake boobs to feel so soft and real and I’m so thrilled.

My left nipple is still really sensitive but overall they feel pretty normal. Nothing crazy to report!

Three weeks post op and first of all, still obsessed. Here are some of the “weird to me” things I’ve experienced and my surgeon’s response:

- “Lumpy” or scalloped feeling bumps under my left incision. Not ON the incision. This was normal, the interior or deeper stitches that will dissolve by three months.

- I have been astounded by the nipple pain/sensitivity. Totally normal but jeez. They do not like being forever squished in a bra!

- a tight ligament/vein pulling on one side. I’ve provided a photo for reference. If I reach up or lean back, this is pulling super tight. I called my surgeon who said it’s not NOT normal, but a ligament or vein being pulled somehow by the inner stitches. It should resolve itself by three months.

- They start to look smaller when looking down at them! As they drop in to place, they sort of get squished back up by the tighter muscles and skin, causing them to look smaller. Between 3-6 weeks they drop in to place and fluff out more to their full size. Trust the process!

Overall, I’ve had super smooth healing. I’m back to light workouts and peloton rides and don’t experience any real pain or discomfort. I’m completely obsessed with the results. I’ll gush about that in my next update.
