The Twins in NOLA - finally feel great!

It's a little past the 3 month mark now so an update is overdue. I had to go back to the PS bc the stitch that was poking my skin was really starting to hurt when I wore a bra or rubbed my finger over it. She just numbed it up and cut it out like it was no big deal. She said she uses long lasting stitches so they take a good 6 months even up to a year to fully dissolve. The lumpy spots where they were are starting to get softer. I am also getting feeling back in my nipples and much more on the right side...it's been sore for a few days now but it seems it's the nerve endings more than anything so I guess that's normal? The left nipple is still partially numb and not really sore so I am assuming that's what it is.

Well, it's 8 weeks and I was feeling great but now I'm getting a little sore again. I just started to work out again so I'm sure it will be an adjustment. The one issue I'm starting to see is the dissolvable stitches aren't dissolving. Both sides are lumpy and one side feels like they are trying to come through my skin. I can feel the pointy edges just under my skin but it's not sore or painful. I went for a follow up with my PS last week and she mentioned that the lumps will go away when the stitches dissolve, but I couldn't feel them at that point. I'm not sure how long they take but I will definitely have to call the PS if it starts getting painful or infected.

It's been a while since I last posted because for a few weeks it seemed like nothing changed...I was SORE all the time and it felt like the implants were rubbing against me every time they moved. It was a very uncomfortable few weeks. Besides the soreness, I still had the sensitive skin issues. It would get better for a few days but then seemed like my skin was still stretching and I would get the "sunburned" feeling all over again. I was really getting discouraged because I felt like my healing wasn't making much progress...but I read other people's comments about feeling the same way (or some even worse) at four weeks post op. Finally, about a week ago I started getting relief and this week (roughly 6 weeks) I am feeling great! There's still the occasional nerve endings flaring up and a little soreness when I first get up (especially if I've worn a bra all day the previous day), but overall I barely notice. They are also dropping and stretching more and besides a little unevenness (one is slightly bigger) they look amazing. I will have to post some pics soon. I do wish I could have gone a little bigger but my surgeon did not recommend it due to my size in the beginning. But I also think if I would have gone bigger it would have been quite obvious that they are not real. I really wanted them to look as natural as possible!
