I am a little over 7 weeks post op. A couple of updates. I started to have some rippling. It is only visible when I don't wear a bra, but it is pretty upsetting especially this early on. I just hope when the settling is done it will magically disappear. I was told by one of the doctors here to wait and see.
The sensation in my breasts did not come back completely yet, they are still partially numb under the scar, I am not too worried about that though.
My right breast is still higher than the left one, but I do see the progress, so it's just a matter of time.
I went out and got some pretty bras and I am happy to report that I am a 32 DD in Wacoal and Chantelle bras. It's so weird..before the BA I thought DDs are huge, something that looks [RS bleep]-starish and here I am with DDs and they don't even look that big especially in clothing.

Something weird is happening..I measured myself and went online to victoriassecret and wacoal to see what size i would be. It comes out as 34B!!! At first I got really disappointed, because I was going for a full C-small D. But then I tried my B- and even C-size bras at home and they were too small, so I hope the online measuring is off or I am measuring incorrectly.

OK, so I'm a little over three weeks post-op. As you can see in the pictures my left side dropped considerably more than the right one. I hope the left does not drop more because this is where I want it be. I had been having difficulties with my right side from the get go. First the doctor had a little trouble getting the drainage out, then it hurt really bad after he cut the end of the stitch that was closing the drainage and now it is very slow to drop. The doctor said it is perfectly normal, so I'm not worried about it too much. It feels just as soft as the other breast when I massage it so I'm not worried about the cc. It's only been three weeks and the doctor said it will take 3 months to see the end result so I'll just wait. The thing that kinda started concerning me recently is that now i can feel the edges of the implant if i feel around the fold of the breast that has dropped and if i lean forward i can feel them on both sides. I emailed my doctor but has not not gotten the reply yet. I was going to call him tomorrow, but I asked the doctors on this website about this and I got a reply that it is normal, so I am not panicking any more.
I am really liking the results. What I am getting impatient about is wearing the bra 24/7. Even though it is a very comfortable bra it compresses the boobs and they constantly feel tired and itchy. I always sigh with relieve when I take it off to take a shower. Oh well, that's a very small price to pay for my increased self esteem :). My hubby really loves them too. I was worried he would be disappointed with the size (not big enough), but he says he loves the size.
I am gradually getting back to doing household chores and cooking. My mother-in-law is still staying with us so she is not letting me do anything too straining.
I'll probably do another update in a month since there is not really a lot changing from day to day.
