So friday was 6 weeks post op and im feeling pretty much back to my old self. They still havent dropped completely but as i said before im not sure if they will drop much more..i dont see where the room is to drop! But we'll see. my 6 week appointment is this Thursday which will technically be about 7 weeks. Although i was freaking out about being too big i feel i could have went bigger and almost wish i did. They definitely are smaller that when you try them on at the consultation once they are in and under your muscle. But I am still happy. I am pretty proportioned now.

The sides of my breasts and under near the incision are the only parts that are still a little sensitive. Not really sore..just not feeling normal. Hoping that will pass and i still have 2 tiny bruises - one on the side of my left breast and a little one near my cleavage on my right breast. Hoping those will pass over time as well.

My incisions are pretty dark. I started scaraway silicone strips on wednesday of last week so I will update how those are. I thnk i can notice a difference already and they say you wont notice a difference until 4 weeks. They are not any lighter yet but i think they are thinner.

I still massage but probably not as much as i should be! I still find sports bras more comfortable..as of now my incisions are still sensitive to wear an underwire. But im sure I'll get there! I think thats it I'll post again soon! Added some pics!

I'm thinking about going to dr horn, he's the best surgeon I've seen/met, but the price quote I was given was very high (actually thats the only reason I start looking for a different docs) anyway, do you know if they were running a special for prices when you booked your surgery, or was it just the implants you choose that determined the price?

Okay so I'm just about 4 weeks post op. Feeling more normal but I still have pain. The sides of my breasts still hurt ..I'm assuming from the stretching.aand my incisions are a bit sore. Still some slight bruising in 2 areas but that's all and I'm hoping that goes aaway soon. I'm also hoping I can bra shop soon. Still have to wear the sports bra for 2 more weeks. God is that getting annoying. But its ok. Getting excited for the 6 week fully healed mark and post op appointment...and for trying on swimsuits ssoon! Anyway ill try to upload some pics at 4 weeks tomorrow. They r still a bit high but. I'm not seeing much room for them to drop so that's a question I definitely have for them at my post op. That's all for now!

Yes! I try to massage everyday. I work 12 hour shifts overnight. So when I get home or right before work I try to massage a little. They are soft but not much improvement in dropping. How about yourself? How are you doing?

Today is 2 weeks post op. posted some pics. get to take the tape off the incisions today..which im extremely nervous to do because im afraid im going to pull off the scab! my right breast has started to drop 2 days ago and my left started yesterday. hoping i can go bra shopping soon =] pain and recovery wise im doing pretty well. The sore spots? Still the sides of my breasts and underneath the most but its definitely getting better. My bruising has gotten better as well ii still have some spots but thats it. Still in the sports bra (4 more weeks of that) and by then im hoping they have both dropped enough to get a good bra!

Im loving the new boobies everyday! I am very pleased with Dr Horns work, the PS i was going to use initially didnt want to go bigger than 375cc on me! Oh man i would have been so disappointed with that size, Dr Horn assured me that 430 was okay for my size and by golly it is,sometimes i wonder if i shouldve went with 450cc! but nah this looks natural on my frame..I too cant wait to feel normal again,lol but it hasnt even been a week yet so...( :
