Patience is a virtue - I guess I'm not virtuous!
So I'm just over 3 weeks post and I'm anxiously waiting on lefty to drop. It's much higher and tighter than my right breast, so I'm wearing my band and continuing my massage - more vigorously on the left.
I get nervous about how differently they are settling, but my PS assures me it is normal to have them drop at different rates.
Right now it's hard to tell, but I am worried my left breast will be a little larger than my right? I had some size difference (or what I thought was size difference) before, but my PS seemed confident it was actually just that my left sat a little lower making it seem bigger. He promised this would be fixed by making the pockets slightly higher/lower on each breast. He insisted by no means should I do two different implant sizes. We shall see.....
So in my pre op photos you'll notice a small mole (thanks for letting me run around naked my entire childhood mom and dad) right on the edge of my nipple. We opted for nipple incision and to go right through it.... It's crooked now! I guess that could bother me but it's actually kind of funny and no one sees it but my husband and I. Well, and the entire RS community haha!
All in all things are going slowly but smoothly.
Excited for Halloween, it will be the lady's first night out on the town, as I've been working hard to downplay in my everyday life. I'm wearing a mock corset, so being a little high should go unnoticed- well hopefully anyway!

Ugh.... They're so high.
Yesterday marked two weeks post for me and it's been a rough few days. They are still SO high.
I know I'm being impatient and I also knew to expect this but it's just hard.
I've been wearing my strap whenever I can around the house and at night, though I usually wake up around 2 and rip it off feeling like I can't breathe.
At my post op last week my doctor also put fresh incision tape on and instructed me to leave it for 2 more weeks so it's made me a bit nervous not to see the incision - but again, what can I really do.
We have a house warming party tonight for a friend and it will be the first time I've seen a lot of our friends since the surgery so I'm a bit nervous as to what to wear/how to play things down.
Luckily it's been a little chillier the last few days so I'll get away with a baggy shirt and a sweater.
My PS says to just stick with the strap and continue my massages but I'm just so anxious about the position of my breasts. I really look. Forward to them dropping. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

Post Op Appointment
Had my one week post op today. Doctor says everything that looks good but he did give me the dreaded strap of death as a precaution and to help them drop. I don't have to wear it all the time, just as frequently as I can.
On a positive note, my pain discomfort is very minimal now. In fact, the one thing I'm noticing is that I need to remember I'm still healing and to take it is. I've had a few days if over exertion and that makes more painful evenings.
I'm also finding I need to be aware of when and where I tough my boobs now. Sometimes they feel they just need a rub, and that obviously makes me look a little weird when I'm in public! Gotta curb that behavior before I get a reputation!
