I feel great!!! I think my boobs look very natural due to the tear drop shape. I am a 34C to 32D at VS. The only odd thing is I can feel them move around. For example, if I bend over and stand up straight I can feel the shift. It was very odd at first and now it's become normal. This is due to the fact that they are not hard and high anymore but they bounce (slightly) and can be pushed together. I can comfortably sleep on my stomach now. I also can do most workouts and weight lifting although I do not do isolated workouts for the chest (chest presses or flys). I go in for my third follow-up appt. next week and will post any new updates.

Look good! Glad to hear you can sleep on your belly again! I'm only 3 weeks post op and still sleep on my back and elevated! I ended up getting 300HP and so far so good! Measuring with 29 under bust and 35.5 bust I think 32DD now. Good luck!

Did you go under the muscle or over?
Were your implants textured?
Do they feel like they move naturally or do they stay in place?

This was a very helpful post as I am 2 weeks post op, also with Mentor Shaped implants but had to go down from 300cc to 255cc because I had "side boob" with the larger option.

I had my 2nd post op appointment a couple days ago. My ps removed the steristrips and the scars look smaller than I expected!! He said that everything looked on track and it was likely my implant had not dropped at all yet. I was given instruction to do 4 minutes of massage techniques 3x/day which is manageable. The massage is meant to prevent capsular contracture and settle the implant into the pocket. My boobs are getting softer and I am very close to pushing them completely together (one of the massage techniques). I was cleared to go bra less or wear a wireless bra. I was measured a 34D at VS which is bigger than I thought for 300cc, but I think quite good for my body size and proportion. I have posted a picture in a tank and a bathing suit for size reference. I can't wait until I can do light cardio in a week and then full cardio and weights in another 5 weeks. I will post a picture of the scars next.

I had my first post-op appointment and my doctor is pleased with the shape, healing and the fact that there is no bruising! I can feel my boobs getting softer everyday but they are still very firm and pointy (nips at high alert at all times lol). I have been advised that I can do some walking as exercise now but nothing more. At my two week appointment next week Xmas eve, my dr will remove the steristrips (remaining bandages) and I will be cleared to go bra less or use a wireless bra. I'm very excited because the surgical bra is so uncomfortable and provides no padding to conceal my rocket nipples. As of last night I stopped taking the heavy pain meds and I was taking Advil today. This evening I don't even feel like I need to take anything for sleep so long as I have my trusted HEATING PAD! Today at work I wore a Thermacare heat band under my shirt on my back where I tend to get pain from bad posture. It really helped and will continue wearing it during the day. I'm going shopping now for a wireless, lightly padded bra tomorrow. Can't wait until they soften more; I can get them to push together quite yet. I will take some pics in clothes so you can see what the size looks like if your considering 300cc high profile memoryshape.

Wow you look great! No bruising and it doesn't look like u r swelling much either. I have similar stats and did 295 memory shape mod plus a few days ago. My bwd is wider though (12.2, hence the mod plus). I am very happy already. Ihopeyourrecovery continues to go well!

Thank you!!!! Your pictures look very close to mine when I was at your point. It is amazing how different you feel day to day. I am at day 18 and feel almost normal again!!! Were you surprised at the size? I measured a 34 D at VS but I know this will change!
