Ugh the waiting game

Hey all you real self ladies! I hope you're all enjoying your new selves. Well, not much has changed for me. My breast are definitely starting to get a lot softer. However, still uneven, and I think I loved them more swollen. I am still very happy that I went through with this. The burning sensations have almost completely subsided, and I even have feeling back in my left breast!!! I keep reminding myself everyone's journey is different. It seem like my left breast although hurts more often is so far ahead of my right, and I'm left handed!! Another plus, I can finally sleep, and on my side at the yes!! I had my one month post op yesterday and my doctor told me to start laying on my breast in the plank position for about 30 min a day. Holy moly was that rough! Ouch is all I can say, but I do feel an even bigger difference in softness today. I'm still concern about my right bottoming out, but my PS assures me it is not. Oh, and my scars are healing very nice. I barely notice them.

To all you women thinking of this surgery..... It is worth it, but prepare yourself for at least 4 to 6 weeks of discomfort, weird emotions, and lack of sleep. Constant fear that something isn't healing right, and pure happiness when you look in the mirror. This has not been the easiest ride. My pain has been minimal, but my brain worries constantly. Good luck to those of you going through with you're procedure!

I'll probably update at 2mths again :)

I was instructed to lay prone (on my stomach/breast) at week 2 for 15mins! The first time I did, not even 5 mins through I thought I was gonna die! Now, a week later I did the 15mins and almost fell asleep! And the results are so worth it! My breast are so much softer! Good luck!

One week post op/ bottoming out fears

Newgirls143
I had my one week post op yesterday, and he says everything looks great. They are dropping really quickly and getting soft already which he did not expect since I do not have babies. He removed the big piece of white tape, showed me massages and once I got home I noticed my implant appears to be riding low on righty (one that had tape). I'm so afraid that I'm going to bottom out and will have to have a revision. Also, after doing massages my left became extremely sore and has a little bruising suddenly. I'm hoping I was just too aggressive. I guess this is the next chapter of this journey. I knew my recovery was seeming to easy. Worry setting in :/

You can be too soft or too aggressive with ur implants so be careful about that. I let my husband do it the first day and I thought I was going to die the rest of the day so now I found a happy medium lol. Happy healing!

Haha, I learned my lesson for sure. Too eager for them to be soft does not mean rub harder. You're brave my husband has not massaged mine yet. Lol

Huge boob problems/ night boob what's morning boob lol

Newgirls143
Not much change really. They look about the same. I've been back to work for two days and these things really get in the way. I bump them on my desk. Dropped food and landed right on them staining my shirt. Lol, totally worth it though. At the end of the day they are swollen and a little red, so ice is my best friend.

My biggest issue right now is night boob that's what I'm calling it since you ladies seem to have morning boob. Hahaha! Every night just as I'm getting comfortable my nipples start to tingle then bammmm burn baby burn. I ice then within a few minutes of removing ice they go at it again. I end up sleeping straight up because for some reason they stop being so intense. No morning boob at all so far other than heavy feeling.

Other than all that, my first post op is Thursday. Excited to see what my doc has to say. Lefty is definitely dropping while righty is taking her time. I'm thinking the big strip of tape is holding her back. Happy healing all you other ladies!

Wow that's so funny that you get night boob instead of morning boob!!! Everyone heals differently I suppose, but you are looking fab :)
July 28, 2015
Thanks, it's so frustrating. I think I would rather morning boobs, so I could sleep at least.

Looking good lady! Have you found that you can fit the same shirts or did you do a little shopping?
July 28, 2015
I've tried on some shirts most do not fit no complaints. I did have to buy some new work shirts already since my button ups now have a huge gap for boob viewing. Lol

They look great! What size did you end up going with??
July 29, 2015
I ended up with 420's hp mentor saline implants which could be filled to 500cc's. To be honest I didn't ask what he filled them to right after. My right breast was being such a problem so I doubt I received the full 500, but I plan on asking tmrw at my first post op. Surgery day I just told him fill as big as you think they will go. He laughed. I really put my trust in him since I was so wishy washy on size.
July 29, 2015
I was the same way. I gave him a range and showed him some wish pics and was like just do what looks best please lol- whatever your doc chose for you they chose right though! Congrats!!
