Today marks 3 weeks since surgery and so far I'm so happy! I do have stretch marks (from breast feeding) but they are beautiful. My scars are healing nicely but I do worry the dropped too soon, they were never high to begin with but then again every body is different especially since my skin was so loose so I'm not too worried. My left breast is softer but my right has softened a lot. The left fold over, the implant is positioned correctly but I'm not used to having big full breasts yet so I'm not sure what is normal. I'm a worrier but here are some updated pics. I'm in a sports bra now but cannot wait for regular bras ????????

I'm doing better and better each day just get an engorged feeling and have had some issues with my left side underneath where my boob meets under my armpit almost I've gotten a pulling burning sensation if I move my right arm to quickly. Called the dr office and they say it's normal. Also started bruising which freaked me out but they say is normal too. Overall just waiting for them to get softer, my right feels harder I think due to it be my dominate side so the muscle was probably stronger causing the muscle to be tighter until gravity helps it out. My post op appt was last Monday and doc says they look good and basically are already dropped. He say Size won't change much but they will soften. Have to keep my compression bra on for another week then I'll be in a sports bra until my next appt in march. I get to take incision tape off next Friday woohoo! I keep panicking about capsule contracture and scaring myself with google ???? I also noticed (after taking update photos) the bruising around my nipples. Not too pretty lol

Are you off muscle relaxers and pain meds yet? Did your Dr. advise anything for the bruising? I read on here to get arnica? or something like that... idk if its a waste of money but I bruise super easy I wonder if any Dr.'s recommend it. They look so good!

I stopped all pain meds after 48 hours but took Tylenol for probably 2 days after that. Everything feels great now other than my right breast is definitely harder and tighter than the left which I would think is due to me being right hand dominate but we shall see. I heard arnica is great , my bruising has cleared a lot so I'm not sure I'll get any but if it was worse I think I would because I hear great things about it. Thanks so much are you excited for your upcoming date??

Getting so much better but still have some aches and lots of tightness. Doc ok'd to shower after 48 hours and boy was that scary. I had bandages then a compression bra with a top strap and gauze wrapped on top of it all, when I finally got to take the gauze off I was so relieved! The back pain was probably the worst part for me. Like a pinch in the middle of my back for 48 hours. Then the aches would come and the swelling and tightness made me panic like I couldn't breathe but there's a light at the end of this tunnel. I love how they look I just hope the drop and fluff to look beautiful! Going back to work tomorrow and hope I'll be ok!

I'd say say 2 was worst but again it was mostly my back like a pinched nerve feeling. My boobs just felt really tight so I recommend staying in top of pain meds. I only took them for 2 days and I take Tylenol now. Feeling much better today on day 5

February 15, 2017
Did you do above or under the muscle? I'll make sure to keep up on the meds for the first couple days! How is your swelling day 5? Any bruising?
