7 weeks post op as of yesterday. Feeling so much better. I guess right breast is pretty much all healed the implant doesn't move much anymore when I press on it. I guess it has found it's home. Left side still trying to heal this t junction wound and I guess that's why that implant isn't settled in yet. But overall, feeling like my old self again.... Except with perky boobs.... Lol

Congrats. I have a question for you. I am scheduled for lift and implants on 27th of Feb. Plan on going back to work on Monday, Do you think that is doable. Or maybe I should take a few days more off. Everyone I talked with said no problem, but not sure. getting anxious. I have a desk job and can work from home, I am a little older than you are- 58 yrs old. Have lost weight and they are really sagging, so need to get them up where they should be. Advice, please?

Hi AMJ. Sorry I just saw your question and looks like ur surgery is tomorrow. Everyone is different but I don't think I could have went back to work so soon. The anesthesia was pretty rough on me so even at 2 weeks out I still felt pretty lousy. It was Christmas so I remember it well... Lol. I didn't have a lot of pain or soreness just very little energy. But I may just be a baby... Good luck! Looking forward to your story.

Hi, I missed it too. I thrilled for you to "finally" get your lift and implants done. I did not have implants, but did get the lift. I went back after 10 and am primarily at a desk job with periods of a lot of walking. I felt mentally ready 100% which was my driver. Physically I felt good as well, but looking back from how I look now, I may have given it a little longer. We are all different and deal with the anesthesia, medications and physical changes different. I suggest you play it day by day and enjoy the new you.

I am now one month post op. and as promised by my PS and you ladies, I am finally feeling like myself again. My hypersensitivity is getting much better and my energy is back to normal. I wouldn't say I'm 100% but I'm definitely better! My scars are looking good... I've been using mederma advanced gel in the morning then after my shower at night I use my bio oil. Still have some areas of numbness but getting better everyday.
Anyone have any suggestions for comfy bras? The sports bras seem really tight and uncomfortable..... I feel better going without a bra. My PS says still no underwire. That's all I've worn for the past 25 years so its a hard habit to break!

That's great news! I'm glad all the stars are lining up and your getting back to your old self again. When you think of it 1 month isn't a very long time, but like you I am anxious to get back to 100% as I am at 2.5 weeks. Good luck bra shopping!

Don't give up! I thought I should have been back to normal by 2 weeks but it didn't happen. You will be feeling better soon:)

Ok girls I need your input. Tomorrow will be 3 weeks since my sx. My PS says this is the hypersensitive phase where all the nerves are waking up! It's really uncomfortable and I'm so sore I feel like I've been nursing a baby:) I'm still having quite a bit of swelling and I have one small area underneath the left breast that hasn't healed so I've been using silvadine cream on it. My energy level still isn't back to normal so I'm getting frustrated with that. Has anyone else gone thru any of these things?

Hi there - I am now nine weeks post lift + implants and want you to know I felt the same way you do at three weeks. I was pretty discouraged because I am very healthy (45 yo) and always heal very fast. However my energy level was still pretty low at three weeks and I had lots of hypersensitivity until 4-5 weeks. Everything I read online, including from the PS's who post on this site, led me to believe there would be very little pain after two weeks. So, hang in there, if you are like me you will feel great in just another couple of weeks.

Thank you for the encouragement. I've been wondering if I am just a baby. I am def looking forward to feeling better in a few weeks. It's nice to know someone else had the same issues:)

I had a mommy makeover (TT, breast lift and implants) and my lift was by far the most painful for me! I had lots of mobility issues and soreness for about 3 weeks. It started getting better at 4 weeks for me. Hope the sensitivity settles down for you soon.
