Rushed PS visit
maddies4545December 18, 2013
Does anyone else barely see their PS and get too nervous about asking questions? I haven't seen mine since my surgery until this afternoon. He just told me to wait and dismissed most questions I was asking which then made me stop asking questions. I only asked if I should start massaging more and if they looked high so I don't think that should have offended him.
He instructed me too keep wearing the band and not add any massages. He said that "they've dropped" but since he hasn't seen me since surgery I don't know how he would know how much they've really dropped (they haven't much). They are also so hard and he said they would get softer. I am trying to be patient but I have always felt like there was something wrong with and they are not dropping like everyone else's.
How does everyone else communicate with their PS? Is it ok to call and ask random questions or email?

It takes months for them to soften and to drop to their final position. Months. Take a deep breath and just follow your surgeon's recommendations. I am sure you will see a difference in 3-4 months, and that they will continue to change for a few months after that. It will be OK! Patience is a virtue with implants.... :-)

So hard to be patient! Lol :) I am starting to see progress! Thank you for your comments!

Are u going to post a pic and question for the drs
December 25, 2013
I have another appointment January 3rd and I think I might after then. They are starting to drop more now :)

jenfrogrn is correct: it can take months for the breasts to settle. Patience, and try not to worry yourself (because we have already done this for you and our breasts turned out just fine:)

HI UConn. I'm sorry you didn't have the best experience with your PS. I would definitely ask any questions you have though. I used the general office email for my PS and the office manager would either answer me herself or tell me she was going to ask PS directly. Ask away! This is their job. As far as settling, please give it time. Mine were so slow to "D&F" and I still feel I have a ways to go even after 11 weeks. My husband plays poker with a BA surgeon and he said to give it a solid 4 months. I hope you feel better about them soon!

Thank you so much for your comment and advice! They are starting to drop more now and I am beginning to feel better about them:)

I just had mine done 12 days ago and am riding high & I feel like I'm being smothered. I had my surgery in another state so I was freaking out cuz I couldn't get ahold of my PS until yesterday when he called me. He assured me they will drop. I have to wait & be patient. I'm not allowed to massage yet.

Try to be as patient as you can.
I'm clearly not good at this but after 4 weeks I'm really starting
To notice them dropping and getting much softer. It does take time and everyone is different so try not to compare yourself to everyone else and remember how nice they will look soon :)

Official anniversary
maddies4545December 18, 2013
Today is officially my 3 week anniversary of having boobs. At this point I thought I would be a lot happier with them but I actually like my old ones better :(. I have a check in with my PS Thursday to hopefully talk about a revision. I am pretty sure I need one based on how high my implants are and the fact that they haven't settled. I really haven't seen much progress since a week after surgery. I hope that my appointment will put my mind at ease just from knowing my options.

The pics show dropping....just wait and see what your p.s says or take a pic and post a question for the drs on here
December 18, 2013
I am going to wait and see what he says and then probably ask the doctors on here for a second opinion. I actually haven't even seen him since surgery (I only see the nurses) so hopefully he will have more insight.

Wait 3-4 months and then see...most PSs won't do a revision until 6 months anyway, because they very often take that long to drop and settle. There is no guarantee that they will drop by then, but it is premature to try to think about another surgery so soon....
December 18, 2013
I am almost 6 months out, and still seeing lots of changes as they drop and fluff more and more....
