I feel really good compared to last week when I had terrible bloating and not being able to have a bm for 7 days. My only concern right now is after my appt yesterday, my right breast implant feels like it's moving all over the place. I feel it when I put a sports bra on. The left feels perfectly normal. The dr told me my left breast is still swollen. Are you suppose to be able to feel them move around when you bend over or lay down? I'm just wondering if something might be wrong.

You are healing VERY nicely! I'm curious of what you mean by the implant moving all over and the other isn't or what you mean by feeling the implant move when you bend/lay down :-/ I do think you are still pretty early in the healing stages, and I'm trying to think back to my first round and massages, swelling etc. my left breast had "issues" it dropped slower. I was also told that early on its "impossible" to have any problems such as capsular contracture because the capsule hasn't even formed yet? It's possible that you are just feeling one being more settled than the other which is normal for them to heal at different rates and if the dr saw a concern I betcha he'd say! When do you go back? I hate wondering and feeling paranoid and then also feeling like you are "bothering" the staff at the office being paranoid lol, dr bartells office was TERRIBLE at that, thankfully Madison plastic surgery is not like that! I will also tell you that I can tell a huge difference in my old saline and new silicone! I used to like my saline and didn't see a problem but now that I have silicone they don't feel so "swishy" inside of me.. Is that what u are feeling?? Like a bag of water feeling? Or is it the implant physically moving?

If it means anything, based on your pictures I wouldn't be concerned because they look good! But you only know what you are feeling in your body so I won't disregard that! I was still seeing changes between 3-5 months post op (I had my revision at almost 6 months post op)

Had my ba two days ago. Swelling has gone down considerably. Just a little sore on the left side. Woke up in the night with burning, shooting pain in the left breast. I think it might have been because I didn't take any pain meds before bed. Took a shower and put on makeup this morning. That can boost anyone's feelings. Taking it easy though today. Gonna let my husband do some laundry and make meals yet another day. Love the pampering I'm getting. He took a look at them without my bra on and thought they looked huge. I'm thinking maybe I didn't go big enough. I'm still happy though because they definitely look better than they did. Can't wait to see what they look like in a swimsuit. Vacation is 2 months from today.

Bra shopping will be fun :) my favorite has been the wireless body by Victoria! :) they look great already and you are going to have really nice results! In the beginning mine looked fake round and the swelling went down and they looked smaller :( ever since I got mine I've always been disappointed in the lack of projection! I'm so glad that you started a review on her because no one has really done a review on here for dr hamacher or bernsten. You are going to look stunning when you go on vacation! Happy healing!!!! And happy holidays :-) please continue to update with how your follow up care goes with the dr and office staff, I would appreciate it and I have a friend going thru this also and can't decide on a dr!! Did you consult with anyone else in the area???

I so wish they would have discussed this stuff beforehand so there wasn't so many unknowns! Thank you for being so helpful!
