Four weeks Post-Op
Almost back to normal! biking, fast walking, no strap the last few days, able to move and do everything really well. boobies seem to be settling and I am taking care of them. got a new little sports bra but I wonder if it's not enough support.
Scars are healing well, silicone gel on it and it helps and feels better. lotioning the skin a lot too. something I have some strange pains in my breasts but it seems to be related to over activity.
A couple nights ago I started sleeping on my side, oops! trying to stay on my back but is so hard. and in my sleep I forget; then the pain wakes me up. nipples still a little sensitive but nothing terrible anymore. the skin around my breasts where the bandage was is very itchy and I hope that passes.
I'm not sure if this is related but since my surgery I have had a lot of acne, more than normal and I wonder if it's something with my body chemistry changing, it's rather odd.
Going through this feeling of "not big enough" and not liking the results in terms of size!! it's a terrible feeling but I comfort myself with I would rather have great looking breasts than giant ones with bad results. I have great results, and I am happy! it will be nice to exercise again and get a real bra ;)

Three weeks!
Three weeks exactly
So much has happened! I got my stitches out last week, which was brutal because the doctor just ripped off the bandage and started pulling at the stitches. Needless to say, there is hardly ANY scarring.. the incision is very small. about one inch or less on each side. It was very itchy before the bandage came off and continues to itch a lot. unfortunately I scratch in my sleep and it seems to irritate the scar and under my left great my scar is slightly raising. I will go to the pharmacy to buy special temporary silicone patches to ease the scar.
Pain wise I am pretty much completely back to normal! I am able to get up and down and in and out of bed without that awful pain I had the first 10 days. I think really until about day 10 I had a lot of pain if it was cold, using certain arm motions, and having sex. still very sensitive nipples and they hurt a lot more after sex.
I had my period for the first time since getting breast implants and my breasts were soooo tender especially the nipples! so that's something I will definitely prepare for next month. I used ice packs on my period to help with breast pain and swelling. and a lot of IBprof.
I have been allowing my breasts to just be without a bra, and without the strap with light massage each day. they are dropping very nicely and it's helping with the shape. They are softening each day and massage helps a lot I think. I try to stretch my arms and squeeze my breasts together. At night I go to sleep wearing the strap and then end up unhooking it and resting without it.
I do notice that if I do a lot of activity, they swell and I have some discomfort. When this happens I wear the strap, and rest and they feel better very quickly.
Yesterday I had my first real shower and it felt amazing but also scary. afterward my incision sites seemed a little delicate and I think that's to be expected after a shower. I have some bruising from wear the bigger bandage was, and hopefully that goes away.
I am very very happy with the results, although I wish I had gone bigger ;) 450-500cc :) maybe in the future. It's not noticeable at all in my clothes and nearly everything still fits. which is nice, but also disappointing. the most important thing is that they look and feel GREAT. I would rather have amazing smaller breasts than big mangled ones.
But most of all I can't wait to start exercising again!!! I will probably start lower body soon... And take it really easy. I am supposed to wait until week six.. But I will see!
Still need to review the clinic and my experience there. But I do want to say, Dr Verdonck is very available by phone and on point :) he is a fantastic surgeon!!!
