"52 Years Old, 4th BA, 3 Years Since Removal of Saline - Fort Wright, KY

My breasts just keep looking and feeling better and better. They're finally feeling at least a little bit squishy, and I can sleep on my side in complete comfort now. Also, I'm relieved to feel no longer feel that constant sense of pressure on my chest. My pectoral muscles are still tight ~ I lift my arms over my head and behind my shoulders several times a day, but still feel a pull under my arms. I started steroid cream for the scars at four weeks, although I was already pleased with their appearance compared to how they looked previously. I've attached several pictures so y'all can see my progress. I just love them! I've had trouble finding a swimsuit top that's big enough; imagine that! And my bra size seems to be a consistent 36 DD. I'm thrilled. All photos were taken within the last week. Oh yeah, I did go back to the gym last week. What a relief. So far just the treadmill, abs, and stretching. Next week legs. Upper body at 9 weeks.

Hi y'all -- I only have a few minutes; I just wanted to let anyone who might be doing a search on weight gain or bloating or, let's see, disappearing waist, or some such, that I felt miserable for a good week to ten days post op. I felt fat, my waist completely disappeared, I was bloated and constipated even though using metamucil twice daily, and I was eating much less than usual due to lack of hunger. I felt so afraid I was gaining weight since I couldn't work out and thought, "what's the point of getting new boobs if I'm fat all over an can't work out?" Well just so you know, after ten days my wait returned and the bloating is gone. I'm still constipated -- what's up with that? I look skinnier than ever, however, I guess because now I have gigantic girls! I've gotta go for now, but I'll put photos on later.

Y'all, I'm happy to report very little to no pain since day two or three. So far the primary symptom has been more annoying than anything, a sort of constant pressure I can't quite describe, sort of like something's there that shouldn't be, which I guess it is! I'm still concerned about upper fullness. I asked Dr. Loftus if the implants would drop at all, and she said they wouldn't. The swelling will go down, but no drop, which is not the answer I was hoping for. So I will attempt to be patient -- they definitely look awesome in a bra and in my shirts.
