34 Years Old, 2 Breastfed Kids, Mentor memoryshape anatomical 330 cc - Los Angeles, CA

Just passed the two week mark and getting much more comfortable. It took a week to really feel out of the worst part of recovery. I have no pain now, just some soreness at the incision sites and tightness in my chest muscles. I am still sleeping in my back. I can roll on my sides for while if I prop myself up with pillows. This has been frustrating since I'm a side sleeper. I had prepared myself for emotional ups and downs but I felt I was doing pretty good overall. Yesterday I did break down in tears. I was exhausted from the kids and not sleeping well the night before and my boobs feeling not comfortable was aggravating. I am still not completely comfortable with my new look. They still don't feel like part of me. I think they are a bit too big and I'm wishing I had gone a size down. They also project A LOT, which is not something I really wanted. I'm happy with the overall look but I wish they were more natural and tear drop looking with a gradual slope. I guess I just have to be patient! I really hope they get softer. Right now they're still really firm and don't move. I can get a little movement if I bend over. Can't squish them together! I've been reading conflicting reviews about "dropping and fluffing." Some say it will happen with time. Others say the textured anatomicals are really meant to stay where they are. I really hope they do! I'm super eager to get back to exercising. Been walking a few miles a day and did one 30 min session on the recumbent bike at the gym keeping my heart rate low. Patience! I'm happy I didn't do the tummy. I don't notice it as much now and I actually find the curve of my belly to seem more womanly now with the bigger boobs.

Had my BA surgery on Friday. I went with the Mentor textured anatomical memory shape implants, partially under the muscle. My surgeon ended up using 295 on the left and 330 on the right to correct my asymmetry. The first night was rough. My whole body hurt and I felt like I couldn't move. I think the worst of it was coming out of the anesthesia. I was nauseated and ended up throwing up a few hours after I got home. I felt much better afterwards. Getting up from sitting and in and out of bed was the hardest. It's over 48 hours now since my surgery and I'm feeling so much better. I've been out on a couple walks with the dog. Moving is helpful to keep the swelling down. I'm also taking my pain medication consistently, and staying on top of that is important. I've been doing range of motion exercises every hour, and I think this is helping a lot. I got to shower today and that felt great! Still getting used to the new me, and looking forward to seeing the end result once the swelling goes down.
