WORTH IT
5 and a half weeks post-op this is the first time that I just feel real comfortable I think all of the swelling is gone my breasts have dropped the right one more so than the left. Sleep without any pain or discomfort and off all Motrin. I don't feel the swelling in the morning like I did the first 4 weeks. Scar's healing really nice. Overall I do feel like I've lost at least a half a cup size although my family says that they don't see any changes possibly just because my breasts are now softer and lower that I feel this way. As everybody else also says I wish I would have went at least to a 440cc I'm at a 400cc. I am still very glad I made the decision to go sub glandular to reduce the healing time and to just not worry about possible animation. Extremely happy and satisfied!

I finally can sleep lying down much more comfortable. Swelling has reduced and sensation is slowly returning. Scars healing.

I am going to follow your progress! I went under the muscle because I am very petite and had very little tissue to begin with. I now unfortunately have sever "animation" (or whatever we want to call it) and I am very self conscious from it. I used to bartend part time and I found that there were many movements I did while bartending that made my implants very noticeable if I was wearing any kind of low cut shirt. If I muddle a mojito it is so obvious - low cut or not... I wish there was an alternative for me so I didn't have such a distortion to my chest when I use my pecs. When/If the time comes for me to switch out my breast implants I wonder if anatomical subglandular would be a better option. So far I think you look great! Do your incisions hurt?

I was told by my surgeon at my visit pre-op to go so muscular after speaking with the pre-op nurse at the visit I literally changed my mind last minute and went above the muscle, subglandular. I was also very nervous about the animation effect I kept reading about. I am very glad of my decision I literally did not have any pain anywhere, none at my incisions at all just a lot of swelling. Motrin was enough to get by. Now 3 weeks post they've settled and little swelling in the am. Thanks so much for contacting me. I'll reply anytime.

Feeling much better not as much swelling left side still more swollen than the right. Scar's healing nicely. New symptom is the sharp shooting pain but they're very fleeting intolerable this is normal
