8 week update!

WORTH IT$12,500
Hi guys! Sorry for the delay - I've been a busy bee with a new job. So I'm 8 weeks out now and it's been an interesting ride. They've largely settled into how they will be - with textured anatomicals they don't change a whole lot once they're healed.
Weeks 2-5 had me making several calls to the clinic to check that what I was feeling was "normal". They healed at slightly different rates due to my use of my right side vs my left, so I was often worried that one or the other felt odd, even though I had nothing to compare to! Use the forum here, girls - it was very helpful to be part of a group having surgery at the same time with everyone experiencing similar things.
The last couple of weeks I've been slowly adjusting back to side sleeping (such a relief!), working out the clothes thing, getting fitted for bras - 10G!!! I'm hoping a 14E will fit so I can find some sexy options. The 10G in the pics is a very supportive fit and works really well under clothes. I'll buy more at the 3 month mark once my body has adjusted to accommodate them more.
I have a small patch on the bottom of each breast that has gone numb. I'm using touch techniques to retrain the nerves. My nipples have slightly increased sensitivity.
They feel AMAZING! I had some tissue to cover the implant so I can't comment on how they'd feel for someone else, but I actually can't feel the implant unless I really try with some positions. I had read so many reviews of 410s feeling tight or hard - this is not the case for me at all. I had very soft tissue before, so I now feel like I have firm breasts in a youthful way - they give very easily under the hand. Nice "squish" factor ;-)
Off to Bali in three weeks, so I'll be sure to post my first bikini pics after. Hit me up with any questions.

Healing nicely. Full range of motion. Nipples sitting about where I'd expect without a lift and I think I'm developing the "full, heavy, natural" look I'm after. They look GREAT in clothes and I'm sticking with surgical bra for sleep.
Looking forward to slightly more settling from top to bottom - loving the side boob!
Scars healing nicely and silicone strips definitely helping with smoothing them down.

You look awesome, are you still having any pain ?
April 6, 2016
I haven't had weekday I'd call "pain" at any stage. I'm off the heavy painkillers and now use just paracetamol with codeine (only 1 at 15mcg) if I start getting really uncomfortable. I can feel when I'm "pushing it" movement wise, but again its more about discomfort than pain.

10 days in - temp bras to check things out!
BAinAus2016April 1, 2016
Hi everyone!! Coming along very nicely here. Shape settling beautifully. For the most part I'm wearing supportive sports bras per my instructions, but couldn't resist buying a couple of lace bras to check out the effect I'm starting to come to. The lace bras (for the Aussie readers) are just $10 - $15 each at CottonOn Body. Post surgical bra by far still the most comfortable though and I'm sticking with it at home. Support bras do come with thinner straps with a convertible hook for anyone looking. Soooo... naked pics first, then bras, then awesome side boob which I hope to goodness stays as i heal - love it!
Again - Allergan Natrelle 410s, 560g, dual plane placement for the "heavy" natural look.

Thanks so much for your reviews its great to have another Aussie who has just gone through this! :)
Can I be a pain and ask probably a total obvious question re your sizing :) so they were the 410cc's which weigh 560g or were they 560cc's? I'm just about to go in on Tuesday and tossing up between the Allergan round saline 430 and 445cc (to go under the muscle). I know it's not much of a difference (and my PS as yours did will see what he can fit on the day) and as all my wish list boobs are big I'm thinking go the bigger size (when I initially tried the 450cc on though the projection looked abit funny but I've heard on here u loose cc's under the muscle so I don't wanna go too small)
How are yours feeling? :) you look awesome :)

Not a pain at all!! And thanks! Allergan Natrelle 410 is actually the style of implant - its a highly cohesive teardrop shape. It was chosen as my existing tissue was very soft and a little droopy, so the firm gel, which holds its shape, gives a really nice "natural" firm feeling when combined with my existing softer tissue. The placement was half under the muscle and the bottom half was not - this created a pendulum effect to slightly lift my nipple and give the filler bottom part look that I personally prefer. This will become more evident over time - I'm only early in my recovery. The Allergan 410 style is measured in grams instead of cubic centimeters due to the broad spectrum of width / hight / projection they come in as opposed to the rounds. My understanding is that approximately 20% of the appearance is reduced with under the muscle placement.
Dr Liew spent considerable time with me going over my options and what would work best, but we focused more on what was needed to achieve the look I wanted as opposed to the size I wanted to get put in.
Mine feel pretty natural so far, though I'm leaving them alone as much as possible to ensure the scar capsule adheres to the textured surface of my implant.
Let me know if there's anything else you'd like to know :-)

Thanks heaps!! How's the pain going? I'm worried about doing too much when I'm out as I'll be dropped off from the hospital but will be on my own from then on in. Does even getting a plate down from the cupboard hurt? I'm suppose to be on a flight to the Gold Coast on day 4 of recovery and hope I'll be ok. Gawd lol

I had no pain - just discomfort. My meds included Panadene Forte for pain and Valium for muscle relaxant due to my positioning, and sleeping tablets to assist with sleeping on my back. You'll need to consult with your surgeon on what's appropriate for you. Bring as much as you can down to waist height - I even put my microwave on the bench and had prepared a bunch of frozen meals to heat and eat. Pain is different for everyone though. I'm down to the occasional Panadene Extra if i really start to feel uncomfortable, but I've had a much easier ride than most.
With regard to reaching up - talk to your surgeon. Many will say not to, but won't explain it's because you may have internal stitches that you could pop, even though you "feel" fine to move that way.

Also - show the doc my pictures. It may be that an alternative implant may be a better option.

As to weight - I don't notice the extra weight at all. I have a dual plane placement, so my pec muscle partially supports the implant. I ended up with 560cc allergan natrelle 410s.
