WORTH IT
Can't believe it's been 4 weeks. Really, the recovery has been pretty good! I was gently lifting kids on the later part of the second week. Not carrying, just lifting (like into their car chairs on bar stools at the kitchen bench).
I'm still a little sensitive on the side of my boobs but I'm managing to sleep on my side with only minimal discomfort. My nipples are still sore to touch.
At this stage my implants are very very obvious to feel on the inside of the cleavage at certain angles, I'm hoping this will decrease once they settle in and more scar tissue appears.
Overall I am beyond thrilled. They are squishy and I have an awesome natural cleavage.
Sorry for shadows in pictures - the light is my bathroom is directly above my head.

Day 7 PO - can't believe it's been a week!

Overall I'm feeling pretty good. I stopped taking the panadeine forte Po day 4 and all I feel now is incision pain and a bit of pain on my left boob where the large bruise and dent are. The dent has almost corrected itself! Excellent. This same boob also appears a bit higher whilst my right boob appears lower and flatter. I'm sure that will fix itself over time. I can feel the implants though on my upper chest, I presume this gets less over time with the formation of scar tissue?!?
Last night I managed to actually sleep on my back which was a godsend, although I have actually slept really well every night upright. Just can't wait to sleep on my side, hopefully in a week or so. Still have a right feeling every so often. It's so hard not picking up the kids it they're pretty good - they know mummy has an ouchie and to be gentle and they've been very respectful of that. Hubby goes back to work on Tuesday ???? bit then I've got mum
on board for the following week to help with the lifting.
Overall ive been pleasantly surprised with my recovery! Apart from the initial few hours after surgery, it's been a ton easier than I was expecting,

Hi! I am so curious how they compare in feel to your old ones? I have had one BA, Mentor anatomicals, and I feel they are too firm and don't move around much. When I have done side by side comparisons with a couple of my friends that have smooth round silicone it seems to be night and day. I am also not crazy about my shape, kind of flat in places, and think I could go a little bigger and hopefully decreases the bony space a between a bit. So I am scheduled for a revision with a different surgeon in a few months. We are just the opposite! That is why I would like to know your thoughts!

Hi. Yes they're much firmer than my last ones. I can also feel the implant much more than my last ones. I'm only 2 weeks PO so I don't know if that will change with more scar tissue and when everything settles down! My last ones were round and above the muscle but they moved well, were very squishy and k couldn't feel the implant!
So far with my anatomicals they're not necessarily that much firmer but I can definitely feel the implant on the inside of my right boob in the cleavage. I haven't tried squishing them together yet as they're still a bit ouchie.
Completely understand what you mean by flat in places - looking down on my boobs the right one seems flatter than the left, but overall I'm thrilled with the shape as I really, really wanted a natural result. Even though my last ones I felt looked waaaaay to fake, I have read numerous surgeons say a round implant can be the best way to achieve a natural look? I suppose it depends on profile. Anyway I hope that helps; I'll let you know how the softness/squishyness goes in the coming months. I do know with the anatomicals they are always going to be firmer as they have to keep their shape but I'm hoping they're definitely going to soften up. Good luck with yours!

Hey there.. LOVE the shape.. I think they are going to end up looking amazing! I got the same ones 6 months ago and I love them. About the dent.. Now sure but did you out a call in to your DR? Prob caused by swelling or something and will resolve itself?
March 27, 2016
Hi there. Yes I have, sent an email with about 10 photos attached! Just waiting to hear back ...(Easter long w/e...)
Great to hear you got the same and love them. Are you all recovered now?

Oh good! Well hopefully they will answer soon. Yes in totally recovered.. It probably took a good three months to feel one hundred percent as far as exercise and sleeping on stomach goes. Feel great now!

Yours look fantastic, exactly the natural look I am going for. You must be thrilled
