It's been a while so I thought I'd do an update. I feel completely normal now with hardly any pain. I have had stinging pain every now and then, but they don't last for very long. My right breast doesn't yet have its full sensation back (there's still numbness on the side and near my arm pit), but I don't really notice unless my fingers brush against it.
I'm overall very happy I got it done. I originally was very worried I might bottom out since my nipples seemed higher than I would have liked. But I've continued to wear a bra at night because is more comfortable and I feel it has prevented any further downward movement.
I have also been working out with no issues. I try not to do any chest exercises and I find I still get adequate exercising in.

6 weeks - update attempt 2
Before I start, I would like to say I have been very impressed with my PS and glad he was the one I chose. He is very meticulous and takes his patients concerns seriously. Any questions I have are answered in a timely manner via text if I forgot to ask during the post op appt. I also love the frequency of his post op appt, especially since you have a 3 month time frame to correct any issues. This lets me know he really wants his patients to have perfect results.
4 weeks:
This was when I started to feel more normal. I was given the green light to do cardio (no weight training yet) with an extremely supportive sports bra. Although I could, I chose not to work out just yet and instead let my body focus on healing.
I tried on both a 32C and 32D bra during my appt and was placed in the 32D until my next appt. The 32C fit, but the cups were a bit too narrow.
6 weeks:
I expressed some concerns about nipple placement to my PS. I have been extremely scared of bottoming out since my surgery or have nipples that point up. I think for the most part my worries are baseless. My crease is symmetrical on both breasts and I don't believe the location of both my creases and nipples have changed - my upper pole swelling has gone down quite a bit, making my lower pole look more voluminous, which is probably why I started freaking out. Still not used to seeing breasts haha.
Nonetheless, he took my concerns into consideration and asked me to try the 32C again. I guess my swelling had gone down even further because I was able to fit this time around. My breasts feel more supported which is good to prevent further dropping while I heal.
I'm surprised I haven't gotten a bad case of boob greed. Although I got downsized to a C, I don't see any noticeable difference between that and D. I'm just happy I look balanced and clothes fit great now :) oh and nipple sensitivity has deceased dramatically. They are almost back to normal! My arms also have a full range of motion again! I think this occurred sometime between 4-6 weeks.

Glad to hear you are doing so well! I am excited for my one week post op appointment. How are your incisions doing? And when were you cleared to not sleep propped up? I can't wait to sleep normally again...I'm a side sleeper so this is a bit annoying....but worth it!! Best wishes as your new additions continue to develop! :)

My incisions are healing nicely! It's still red, but it's placed perfectly in the creases of my armpits that once they heal it shouldn't be very noticeable. I was never really told when I could start sleeping on my sides, it just sort of happened lol. I actually stayed sleeping propped up for about 3 weeks just because it was so uncomfortable when I tried to sleep on my sides. Please keep updating your progress!

You are looking great! My concern is the opposite of yours. I'm afraid that my nipple position is too low. I am almost 5 weeks postop. I can tell I have dropped quite a bit but I'm hoping I continue to drop some more as I really want my nipple position to move up. When did you notice your lower pole becoming full?

Thank you! Hopefully it stays looking this way. I think I was fully dropped around 3 weeks. That's when I felt like my lower pole was full. Did you have to wear a strap to help yours drop?

My dr doesn't recommend a strap. He says he likes for gravity to pull the implants down naturally... I'm wondering if a strap would've speeded up the process. I have dropped some but still don't feel like my lower pole is as full as it should be...

ahhh you look great! you ended up with 300cc? I'm going back and forth with sizing between 300 and 325. your stats are so similar to mine so it really helps to read your journey!! my BA is already scheduled for next friday! I'm going silicone/smooth/high profile, transaxillary, under muscle. I wonder if 325 will even fit in me?!

Yup! 300 on both! I had a choice between 300, 325, 350 on surgery day, but afterwards I was told 300 was the max that could fit. I honestly love them as they are and don't wish they were smaller or bigger! I think the key is not to focus too much on the number. In the end I trusted my doctor's judgement and was happy with the outcome :)
