2 months post and freaking out a little

Something weird is going on with my left nipple (hate that word). It keeps going inverted whenever I'm wearing a bra. Wth?!?! I keep pinching it back out. Now every time I walk by a mirror I'm checking it and pulling it back out. Last night I went braless for a bit to see what would happen. It stayed out. I'm trying to pull it out and up in my bra, but it's not working. What is going on?!?!? Too much compression?!? Not enough air time?!? When I went braless I could feel how saggy my boobies are...not a pleasant feeling. I wanted my bra back on. This just started 2 days ago. No bra changes, no routine changes. Argh!!! Any ideas? Anyone?
Other than this mild catastrophe I really am happy with my new girls. I think I'm a small B cup which is just perfect. Yes I wish they were perkier, yes I wish they weren't wrinkly at all, but after all they've been through I'm impressed. They look like typical 41 year old post pregnancy boobs. What more could I ask for! I'm posting pics, but honestly I don't see ANY change at all.

Week 4 & fluffing????
csaskjSeptember 16, 2015
I'm 4 weeks post and finally seeing some improvements. Last week was hard cuz all of the swelling went away and they looked more deflated. This week I think their rallying for a nice comeback! I swear my nips are a teeny tiny bit higher! Hooray!!! The indents are starting to fill in, which is such a relief. At first my chest bone seemed further out than my boobs, but now it looks a little more 'normal', whatever that is.
I saw my PS yesterday. The bad news, I have to wear my binder and compression bra for at least 2 more weeks. Which is alright, I want to heal properly. The good news, he said I'm not a candidate for a lift. I asked for info just so I could try to put my mind at ease. I could easily start obsessing about getting a lift in a year. He squeezed and lifted and reminded me that it takes at least 6 months to see results. Then he said it's just not worth it, my nips aren't low enough. I can't tell you how relieved I felt. Another weight has been lifted from my chest, haha. He's such a great guy. I couldn't be happier with my choice to go with him. I know wanting a lift is a personal decision and it's really up to me, but having him tell me it's not worth it was just really reassuring. Now I'm going to quit thinking about it and focus on eating healthy and healing.
You girls are all amazing. every story is so helpful. It's nice to know I'm not alone on this wild journey. Happy healing and decision making to all!

Yes! Six months! At least! Just yesterday, or a day before one of us posted an update. Tremendous difference in fluffing. We ńeed time! Im saying it to myself too. Im explanting in 11 days and may be going through a GIGANTIC rollercoaster. 6 months at least! Look at how spotless your skin is, no capilaries. So cool!
September 17, 2015
So good to hear you are emotionally free, no longer worrying about a future surgery, and can just enjoy feeling light and natural and can focus your energy on healing. You are already looking great after just a few weeks. Imagine what a few months will bring!
September 17, 2015
You're looking really good!!! Glad you are feeling good and your doctor doesn't think you will need a lift!! Yay! We just have to just keep hanging in there! xo
September 17, 2015
I know...hang in there. This is such a process. I hope it's mostly up from here! I'm still so relieved to be free!! Thanks

You are looking good! The fluff fairy is visiting and will continue after the compression bra is retired. Those compression bras are helpful for awhile, but the tend to temporarily slow down fluffing.
September 19, 2015
I'm wearing it 24/7. Do you think I'd fluff more if I let them air out in a looser bra? I swear the compression bra is gluing everything back together internally. Have you explanted? If yes, How long did you wear compression? I feel like my Dr wants me to wear it longer than most others. Idk! It's comfortable, but certainly not flattering!
September 19, 2015
Just a theory but I think implants act much like a compression bra but from the inside. That's why they are so de-fluffed after explant. Then the bra compresses them again from the outside to keep swelling down. Both seem to have an anti-fluff effect. You may want to ask your doc why so long in the bra. Pin him down and get a specific answer. I explanted last week and had a lift too. I am still wearing the 24 bra for a few more weeks or until I am much more comfortable and then it is coming off at night. It feel like it digs into my ribs and makes it hard to sleep. I don't think these bras stop fluff, they just slow it down for awhile. Please let me know what your doc says. x

Sorry ladies, I have to disagree. After I explaned which is going on 7 months, I wore my compression bra every single night. I have a regular bra during the day and the compression bra when I sleep. I honestly feel like it prevents sagging. My compression bra is not super tight anymore but it holds up the boobs. My breasts look better now than before the implants. I feel like after I explanted and as they continued to heal and fluff, with the compression bra it didn't make them sag. Just my opinion.
September 22, 2015
Roseanne2015 your results are so amazing. I'm following what my doc says but I like the idea of compression just at night. I figure I'll keep the compression on for at leas 6 weeks like Dr said then maybe switch it up in day like you did. Seems like every Dr says something different.

Hurdles

My uncomfortable danskin bra from Walmart is growing on me. It's not very comfortable but it makes me feel presentable. I just haven't had time to hunt for a better bra yet. It gives me shape in baggier clothing. Not because I'm filling it out, as you can see, but because the cups keep a nice shape on their own. My underarm and side boob fat are killing me!!! It actaully hurts to put my arms down when I'm driving. I think my TT binder pushes everything up. I cannot wait to get back to the gym to shape up that area. I never noticed it with my implants but now it's sooooo obvious. I also put Spanxx on the other day so I could try on some jeans for fun. I guess the implants also disguised the size of my bum! Yikes!! Time to get serious about getting in shape.
I was having some down days. Feeling like I'd definitely need a lift down the road, even though that scares the life out of me. I realized I was really just nervous for my husbands reaction. He loved my implants but they definitely weren't the be all end all to our relationship. I was also getting scared thinking of my doctor doing an exam. Just basically feeling really embarrassed with how my boobs look. Anyways, my husband and I finally did the deed last night and everything is perfect!! He looked, he touched and he said they're cute and he loves them. I can't tell you how relieved I am. He seemed so indifferent before that I just assumed he was unhappy with them. They aren't the centre of our relationship so I knew it wasn't that big a deal but it's nice to know he's good with them. He's especially happy because the sensitivity has come back. Plus he told me I look so tiny and skinny without implants, so yeah, I'm feeling good!!
Hope everyone is having a great day!

Super cool fellow! I mean your husband! When theres love, theres acceptance and love! I hope to meet the right person when im finally condident enough to be me. When im not a conartist anymore, I'll stop suspecting who I'll be in love with of deception!
September 12, 2015
Workouts is what i ńeed too! Im holding onto one persons experience who makes me believe exercise and healthy lifestyle can literally work like a lift!
September 12, 2015
Bouncing back from a tt takes a long time, making you feel frustrated with the down time. Keep yourself engaged in something until you can be physical again. Glad to hear all is well with the boobies:)
September 12, 2015
Your husband sounds like a doll! If he's good with them, don't put yourself thru more surgery unless you absolutely have to, for your mental health. Wait until you can exercise and see how things go. Haha! Your butt was hidden by your boobs! Very funny.
I hope the pain under your arms eases up. My nerves on the left side are still mostly dead and the sports bra feels like it's cutting into me. Damned armpit fat!

Why does healing have to take sooooo long! Argh! At least we're on our way. Yeah, I'm relieved to not being thinking of a lift anymore. Getting a tummy tuck is enough Frankenstein cutting for this body! Happy healing
September 13, 2015
Please let that be true. I'll follow that plan. I try to eat whole food vegan but dairy is my down fall.
September 13, 2015
Awesome! So happy for you and your hubby! We have all worried so much over our decision to explant and how we look after. Isn't wonderful as time passes to see how much more there is to life and how nobody really cares! We are loved for who we are no matter what! It is all a state of mind! xoxo
