11 Days Out
Nothing new to report really. I see small differences in the size in my legs. They're smoothing out nicely. A little less soreness and swelling. Boobs still at my chin but I have noticed they've dropped just a little. Just playing the waiting game.

I had a BA on Feb 23rd and I'm super excited and happy with the size so far. (Silicone 575cc Mentor Moderate Plus Unders). I have a trip at the end of April and I'm anxious to start shopping for swimsuits. My breast are sitting soooooo high right now and I hate it. My surgeon says they will drop a little slower because I had pretty good muscle tone and they just have to relax which could take longer in my case.
I've been wearing the band as much as I can tolerate to encourage faster dropping; but honestly I don't think it's helping. He also informed me there is an easy procedure he can do to help them fall into place if it's needed. That's great! But I guess I'm being a little impatient. My question is, how early can that procedure be performed? What is the recovery time? I know I will not be fully recovered by April but I still want to look great in a swimsuit.

Hi. I'm getting slimlipo done by the same doc in about 6 weeks. Just curious if you are still happy with the results. Do you happen to have any pics? We are about the same size and I'm dying to have some idea of what to expect. Thanks so much for sharing your experience with Dr. K!

Day 9
Had another follow up with my surgeon today that went great. He said I was healing like a champ. I got my drains and my lipo stitches removed at my last follow up. This follow up he removed the stitches from my breast. He encouraged me to be patient as my implants drop and he promised I will have exactly the results I want :) I had increased muscle tone in my pec muscles before surgery so my muscle is really pushing my implant up. They're just going to take a little longer to relax than normal is what I was told. He did encourage me to continue to take the Valium and take Tylenol as needed for pain.
The SlimLipo results are great!!! I'm not lumpy or hard...just bruised and sore. My thighs are getting smaller and smoother each day. 1 week down in this compression garment!!! (Believe me I'm counting!) I don't really have a lot of swelling. It's just a waiting game now.
He's allowing me to start walking on the treadmill at an easy pace. I was pretty active in the gym before so it's hard for me to sit still. Overall I feel great! I have not one single regret.

My surgery was feb 24th. I'm kinda in your boat sister. My left implant sits high. I have been advised that it takes appx 3 months to drop. Right now I call my implants chin pillows. Keep me posted to your progress. I put one of my old bras on last night and I thought I looked pretty decent. My doctor has not recommend the strap. I just feel like the implant needs to migrate into place. Maybe going slow is better so we don't sag? My implants are allergan 421/456 under muscle.

Chin pillows they definitely are LOL! My surgeon has been great through-out this entire process and he tells me to stay off of the internet :) But being the impatient and persistent patient I am I can't help it. I will admit they've dropped some. But I can't help to want things to move a little faster. My surgeon says I will have mark improvement at the one month point and should feel confident in a swimsuit by then. We shall see :) Happy healing with your procedure!!
Yep, you're riding high. It can take weeks (sometimes a month or two) for them to drop. I hope they fall faster in your case.
Thanks for sharing your story and photos here on RealSelf. Please let us know how you're healing.
