Its been 6 wks since my surgery. I'm am getting used to them, they no longer feel foreign. The pain is non existent and has been for a while. I'm starting to get zingers again on the left. It was more numb than the right to start, so maybe sensation will return to normal? The left side is still high, but it was the smaller breast and has a larger implant. The asymmetry is not a severeer as it was preop, but not as closely matching as it was a few weeks ago. r I don't know if this is b/c they are still dropping or if this is my end result...But it is better than preop, They look perfect in a bikini, bra or top. I am hoping they will even up a little more, but if they don't i'm still happy with them. Having the surgery was definitely the right decision for me. I had commented on someone's post about hp implants making the square look. I hope it came out right. I just meant it seemed like immediately post op, they looked "longer" and seemed like they took longer to settle. I just was trying to be realistic based on my experience. Immediately postop, i was disappointed how square mine were and other ladies woke up ready for a bikini photo shoot. For me it has been a longer process. I researched for months and still was a little unprepared for that. I know there was several points while trying to decide, I wished someone would just decide for me. I was tired of going back and forth. Obviously, no one can make the decision for you, but these reviews really helped me make the decision.

Hey Pilates girl! Looking good! I see what you are saying about the asymmetry. I am wondering if the right one just needs a lift? There are donut lifts that only go around the nipple and could pull the breast up and the nipple. That is something that could be considered at a later date as its till early and you still have lots of healing to do. One of the girls here on RS just had it done. Her doc is here in Houston, and I took her there for him to do it. Was a super easy procedure. Only 1 hour and he even did it in office with local anesthesia. She saw the improvement immediately. But anyways, something to think about. You look great either way!

Oh haha! You are HERE in Houston! Wish I would have known! We have a RS mini "reunion" this last week! There were 3 of us, the 4th couldnt make it. We had drinks and dinner. Wish I would have known!

Thanks. the donut lift was recommended by my surgeon initially, but i'm going to wait and see. right now, you can't see the asymmetry in a swimsuit, so it doesn't bother me. the surgeon said it'd be better to wait until they settle anyway, so he's not matching something that is still changing.

I too have a crescent lift on the table. I had major asymmetry as well, and now that I am 6 months post op, it really has improved since the implants have dropped into place. I have my 6 mo appt today, and I think I am going to get a little lift so they are perfect! I love my boobs, it took a while, but I love them now!! :) Good luck and I bet in time you will look so much more even like I did :)

Rxgirl, you look great! They look so natural. It's encouraging that you have seen improvement still in the later stages.

Hey I can't see where you mentioned what sizes you finally ended up with?

I have 450/475cc HP silicone under the muscle.

So tomorrow will be one month since my surgery. I started back to pilates on Monday. Since it is more of a core workout, I was only unable to the push ups. I did notice tightness while doing moves that required to spread your arms. Probably, a combination of still healing and not having worked out for 3 weeks. But overall, felt great to get back with it. And my new tape was really good! I have not had any pain this week, although the tingling in my left breast is driving me crazy. But its just a relief to have feeling coming back.
I am liking them more and more each day. They are still high and kind of long looking. But getting better everyday. They look pretty good head on and in clothes. (Still a little weird from the side) I'm really excited for them to settle, I think I'm going to love them. While trying to decide if i should go ahead with the surgery, one of my main concerns was would people judge me for getting implants. Now, having done it, I am so happy with my decision, that I really don't care about that. I realize how much my old boobs were bothering me. I feel much more confident and can't wait to buy pretty bras and bikinis finally!

Hi pilatesgirl. Just wondering how you're doing? My ps is letting me wear a bra now but NO underwire.
October 22, 2012
Still no bra. It's kind of liberating! :). Especially after those padded bras. I do a cami type bra when I'm out if the house. And there may have been a time or two where I wore something lacy for fun ;)

Today I noticed a couple of things. One, while massaging I kind of felt like a gurgle and I think the implant shifted more than it usually does. So I feel like that's a good sign of progress. Another was that if I lift my arms straight out to the side, they look perfect' no frankenboob or anything. I guess I can't walk around like that :). But it did make me hopeful!
