Yes ladies, you read that right... revision two, implant number three :( The girls are terrible and the limo is still a bit uneven too, so I'm praying for a miracle (is "normal boobs" and a not visibly lumpy waist a miracle??) and going for round three. I'll be making a new review for that so I don't look like it's "day 999,999" lol Wish me luck!! And I wish you all the best luck and healing in the world! <3

Hi ladies!
Well, I'm about 2.5 months post-op now. I like my boobs much better in clothes, but they're hard. And I'm scared. They're like rocks on my chest when I hug someone tight and when I lay on my back they're like two too firm basketballs on my chest. If I'm laying on my back and press on my nipple straight down, they have about a half inch if give. Help?? I'm scared I'm stuck now with fake feeling/ hard boobies!
Anyone else get textured implants and feel this way?? Will it improve?? Suggestions would be much appreciated!

Ok, so I took some pics tonight after my shower and wanted to share my progress. I'm much happier with my hips and flanks (tho not elated) and I like my boobs better but the left is still way up high and tight like a drum. You could literally bounce a quarter off it... I have my 4 week post-op tomorrow (two days early but what eves) and I'm curious what he's gonna say. I want to know why they're dropping at separate rates when there was a pocket already there? Why is my dominant arm MORE healed, and not the other (typical) way around? Should I massage textured implants? Is there anything I can do or should be doing to assist the process... and I want to ask about exercise too... OK, here's day 26 post-op pics!

It is very common for breasts to heal at different rates. I've seen it take several months for one side to catch up with the other. Often times, the two breasts will not match perfectly but it wouldn't be noticeable to anyone but you. Was your left breast slightly different pre op? What did your doctor say about massaging? You are looking great!

It's just the asymmetry was unexpected since it was a revision and the pocket was already there. I also had a breast reduction (medically necessary) in 2009 so I'm afraid I'm just never going to live the shape of my breasts completely. They look square to me when my arms are down and the scar underneath also warps the shape in certain places since the incision wasn't a perfect semicircle... my PS told me to push down on the left, higher implant a few times a day. Since they're textured I have to push kind of hard and it's sore but it's working. I'm also a little afraid they're feeling a little hard and tight like a ball on my chest and I'm now almost 5 weeks post op. I really hope they soften up and I wish they'd round out too. But I guess I'm just not one of the lucky ones who get "perfect". It's still much better than what I had before I had any BA...

Ya, I understand why you're wanting symmetry since it's a revision. I still have faith that you'll see more changes...especially with the squareness issue you mention. Honestly, it's hard to see in your pictures but many women mention this concern with revisions. And you're right, your before and after pictures show a big difference with your new look!
