4 weeks

WORTH IT$5,500
It's been 4 weeks now and things are moving along pretty good. Left feels great and no pain except a tiny zinger once and a while. My right has pain and tingling in the under and side of my boob. This part was numb though after surgery and has since started getting feeling back. I know it takes time to heal but it gets irritating. I'm trying to keep busy so that I'm not focusing on it. I love they way they are looking and the size fits my frame perfectly. They are soft and squishy too, which I worried about that when deciding between saline and silicone. I can't wait to see what they'll look like in another 4 weeks and hopefully with more muscle spasms and tenderness.

Thanks! I went 450 cc because I went under the muscle. I'm glad I went a little bigger, and definitely not feeling any boob greed : )

Your looking great. I have experienced that numb feeling un my underbody also but I am aboit five weeks and it's still numb. I am trying not to get too nervous about it as doc says nerve regeneration can take up to a year. I sure hope that's not the case.

Thank you! I have had nerve damage in the right side of my lip from falling and it took like four months or so before I got it back completely. Although its very annoying, I'm hoping the same as you and that it doesn't take that long.

Looking good girl!! Yours look way bigger than mine! Have you been wearing any certain type of bra or anything? I just recent states wearing tight sports bras when sleeping and not at work and I feel like they are starting to move closer together. But everyday they feel smaller :( sigh. No pain really. Just a little on the side boob, especially when trying to attempt to side sleep.

I just bought a few lightweight spandex type bras from Walmart for the meantime. I bought several VS that have underwire for later, can't wait them. Since I sleep in these I wanted something that was comfortable, but also gave me some support. For like $10 a piece I didn't think it was bad for the healing process. I'm still waiting for my right to drop some more since its a little higher but it will get there. Side sleeping has been hard for me too! I feel like my right has gotten a tad smaller or maybe it seems like it since my left has dropped into place and right still have more to go. It's hard to tell. I was going to ask Dr. Z about that in August. I'm good with the size they are though.

Thanks for the info! Yours are certainly coming along nicely! I often wonder if since I'm right handed and I use that arm more that the muscle is bigger and compressing the implant more lol. Sounds kinda dumb but I'm always trying to figure out the 'why' of things. May not be a reason at all tho lol Have you worn any underwire bras yet? I have a push up I have worn a handful of times but try not to for more than a few hours. When are we allowed to wear them?

Thanks! I made a day of it and went and got fitted at Victoria Secrets and bought like 6 new bras with underwire and some bralettes as well. I can really get into trouble in that place! I have worn my PINK bras out to dinner a few times, but changed as soon as I get home. I can't handle any push-ups, it put to much pressure on them and they look gigantic in them lol! I will defiantly ask when it is ok to wear one with underwire.

My darling! I have to yell you , but the most safest breast implants unfortunately not approved by FDA. This is crazy. Because goverment just completed study in March last year 30 year that POLYURETHANE BREAST IMPLAMTS DO NOT CAUSE CANCER! Capsular contracture about max 5-10 percent in 30 years! Seriously?! The FDA are telling you that implants are safe !!! And about 46 to 90 percent woman will develop capsular contracture within a year with "approved" by FDA implants . Do not believe their stories. Its just all about $$$ , it has always .. Anyway. I wish we all can get back polyurethane breast implants, "fuzzy brazilians, most safest implants. I guess they love the fact that thousands and thousands woman getting sick and needed surgery .That is why I am going to Europe to have my breast augmentation done. Its approved in 35 countries , but here. Sad, sad , sad!!!!!

Numbness turning to tingling which means the feeling is coming back yay! I have full nipple sensation which is exciting because I worried about losing that. Bruises almost gone. Boobies are soft and hubby really likes them! They dropped more and settling nicely. Right is catching up too! Left swelling has gone down as well. I'm using my scar away cream and they look a lot better now. All the glue is off now. So excited for vacation to be able to wear a bikini on the beach and not feel self conscious about it.

Looking good! I'm POD#4 and still swollen. I also went with 375cc silicone submuscular. Good luck on your recovery!

Thanks! The swelling gets better. I kept icing for several days which helped quite a bit! I just checked your profile and yours look great! Good luck on your recovery too!

Crazy how much changes in one week! A lot of dropping. My left has dropped more then the right and has more swelling but left is not far behind. This week the itching from healing within has started and it drives me crazy lol! The incisions are healing well and itching also. Bruises are fading and everyday they look better and better. I wear a bra 24 / 7 and do my massages 3 to 4 times a day. Have had the opportunity to find out what morning boob is like lol! Nothing a warm compress couldn't solve. I have been able to lower the incline on my bed and lay some on my sides some. I always seem to end up on my back with both hand above my head and I've never slept like that before getting this done. They are getting softer now and feel so much better.

Looking really good! My incisions are healing and itching as well. Feeling like they are getting smaller tho. It's weird. Did they tell u to wear a bra 24/7? Is it better for them? I started sleeping without one to air out the incision site and let them drop naturally. Maybe I shouldn't be?! Agh !

That's the thing I was never told anything about it so I do what I always do and researched it. In the evening while I'm reading I go without one for an hour, but most say to wear one for several weeks up to a few months. I'll wear one until I go back and ask about it. I don't know what is actually better. I just want to wait until they've dropped fully into position. My massages I think, have been the thing that has helped the most with dropping.
