From 21 days PO...
The girls are dropping a little, and getting a wee bit softer and more supple on my chest. It's slight but noticeable. They're doing their thing each at a different pace, of course -- the right is still a little harder and higher than the left, but she'll get there. The incisions seem to be healing quite well, but it's hard to tell because I don't want to mess around with them too much (that stickiness in the pics is from the micropore strips).
This stage in the healing process is characterised, for me at least, by the odd combo of numbness and hypersensitivity that's still very present in both breasts (all over, nips included). And the stretching of my nipples, which better fix itself as d&f happens! (Some stretching is to be expected, I know, but my implants were so small!)
The most frustrating thing is the lack of exercise, since I seem to have gained a bit of weight with all of this inactivity. Again, not unexpected, and it's only a few months of my life before I can get stuck in again, but it takes some focus to be patient in this area in particular.
Anyway, overall things are good. I don't notice the compression strap as much anymore, and I feel completely normal. Looking forward to my appointment with my PS this week! Hope all of you lovelies are healing well.

POD14 - Showers, hypersensitivity, the slooooow D&F
pixelleNovember 22, 2016
A little delayed posting this update (currently writing it at POD17). Maybe it was the excitement! of finally! being able to shower!
From POD14:
Generally feeling quite a bit better, but the chest pain, pressure around the incision area, and inability to take deep breaths gets more painful later in the day. The girls are still insanely sensitive, nothing unmanageable, but definitely a weird experience (defo can't say that breathing has ever hurt my nipples before).
Finally being cleared to shower was great, and I stayed in for ages, but was cautious about the incision area. Changing the micropore tape was easy, and I was glad to find that it didn't hurt to pull the wet tape off post-shower.
D&F is still maddeningly slow, though I can see a difference. They're finally taking shape and no longer look like the weird rectangles I had on my chest for a while, but they aren't exactly round yet either (at least not from the front, as you'll see in the pics). Oddly, I think my breasts look smaller in photos than they look in person - except possibly this POD14 frontal (which is the only one where they look about the same as in person). Maybe I'm so used to them being teeny tiny that I can't be objective.
I can feel the Boob Greed creeping in... must... resist... the Greed...

The Boob Greed is so real. How'd your long haul flights go?
November 27, 2016
I know! It's madness. I was so convinced I didn't want to be bigger than a "big B"... I'm filling a small or standard C at the moment, and definitely don't want to be any smaller after d&f.
Ah... thank you for asking about the flying, that's really thoughtful :) All the travel kicks off in 10 days, so nothing yet. But I'll be compression-socking, water-guzzling, and aisle-yogaing my way through it and hopefully will keep myself DVT-free.
It sounds like your recovery is going really well. And you're looking great!

POD9 - PO follow-up, restless body, breast sensations (or lack thereof)
pixelleNovember 13, 2016
Had my POD7 checkup two days ago. The nurse replaced the plasters on my incisions with nude-coloured micropore tape. The incisions are longer than I expected (maybe 4-5cm?), but apparently they're healing well. I was sent home with a roll of micropore tape which I need to use once I'm allowed to shower (come on POD14!) for at least 5 weeks. Replace the tape after you shower, or any time you get the tape wet.
Other than that, the nurse didn't give me much input, so I'm glad I went armed with a few questions I had. Definitely write down and bring with you all the questions you've got. It's your body, take your time at these appointments and ask whatever you need to.
Now it's POD9. Things are sort of ticking along. Photos attached, etc.
Sleeping has been difficult for the past couple of nights. I wake up with what feels like the body equivalent of restless leg syndrome, and can't get comfortable or relax. I think my body is incredibly frustrated with being so sedentary. I keep catching myself getting really jealous of all the runners on my street. Really jealous.
Everyone's recovery process is different, but I'm guessing most people experience a lot of different sensations in their breasts as they heal. My breasts feel bruised absolutely eeeeeverywhere but also a little numb. A strange combination. The sharp, shooting muscle pain that people talk about is also pretty real. And my nipples, which were numb until around POD6, have suddenly become hypersensitive recently which makes changing clothes somewhat torturous. Finally, and my least favourite, there's been some intense incision pain recently, especially at night. I can't see anything visibly wrong with the incision area, so going to try and ignore it for now. Paracetemol helps.
Going back to work tomorrow. Wardrobe challenges: minimising the new breast shelf, hiding the compression strap, not being my pajamas.

I have had intense incision pain at night as well. I think it's because you're laying so still.
November 27, 2016
Yes, and maybe also the pressure of the healing process on the wound (blood trying to get to the incision site etc). The incision pain is less noticeable now, at 3WPO. How far along are you in your recovery? I hope it's going well? :)

I haven't had any issues (that I'm aware of) with the implants since my surgery. A slight problem of wishing I'd gone bigger, but they're perfect for my frame and look natural. As natural as implants can look. The one thing I would say is for smaller-framed women like myself, be careful not to lose weight around the chest / top of ribcage area, because it increases the possibility of "rippling" - which is when you can feel and sometimes see a light rippling effect around the edges of the implant. I struggle with that a bit but it's not too bad.
I did have a scan approx 2 years ago, as I was worried about a lump. Luckily it was just fibrous tissue that had gotten painful as part of delightful PMT
