So it's been a month and things are moving along nicely. I've dropped a little and they are softening up a bit. I can squish them together but overall they are still not super soft yet. Righty has dropped a little more slowly and I think they may both drop a smudge more, though not much. I'm not allowed to resume my workouts (which are higher impact) until 6-8 weeks, so I'm anxiously awaiting that. I'm thrilled with my results so far, and have had a smooth recovery overall!

Congrats on an easy recovery! You're looking great and your incisions are so faded already! I don't know much about textured implants -- how long does it take for them to "stick" in the pocket?

Thank you! You're looking great as well! I was worried about my incisions, because I'm so pale, and there are areas of my csection scar that remained pretty red, although I didn't treat it in any way. I think that the pocket might be more precise with textured, and they can definitely take longer to drop and fluff and to see the end result. 6mo-1yr

I feel like c-section scars are in a bad spot and are more prone to rubbing/irritation so they don't heal as well. Your boob incisions, however, are amazing! I think some smooth implants can take that long to drop but I don't know if it's the norm. I know I'll be on the long end of it just because I'm so tight. I think you're looking great for only 4 weeks out! :-)

6 days post

I did it!! :)

Had my surgery Tuesday 1/6. Surgery itself went well, though the first day's recovery was rough. I got sick from the fentanyl they put in my IV for pain and was throwing up some. That was pretty awful. I just slept and slept , waking to take meds and attempt to eat. I was feeling much better the following morning, just really really tender and sore. I couldn't wait to see them at my postop on Thursday, because I was in a giant ace wrap and couldn't even peek at them.

Yay for boobies!!!!

The next few days were pretty similar. The Valium I was taking for the muscle spasms made me pretty loopy so I wanted to stop taking that as soon as I possibly could and just took it at night after the first three days. I usually could make it until about 4pm before taking a Percocet for pain as well, because those tend to make me a little nauseous. I had a patch behind my ear for three days for nausea as well as a script for Zofran, but neither did much to help. I'm now 6 days post op and am feeling fairly well. I am taking my antibiotics four times a day and have switched to just taking Tylenol for pain. If it gets too intense, I'll take half a Percocet, and will sometimes take the Valium at night before bed to help sleep and with the intent of making the morning boob a little less intense in the AM. I couldn't be happier with my results thus far. It's just like a dream come true. I've waited my whole life to have the kind of breasts that make me feel womanly, and I finally have them. I'm thrilled with how well they look for being so soon after surgery, and I'm hoping that things stay on this positive track. I have so much gratitude for Dr. Restifo and his team, as well as for the nurses and docs at the hospital.

I'm passing your profile/review to my friend. She wants to do textured gummy bear cause she doesn't have any breast tissue. We are both wondering on how long it will take for the D&F. Thanks for your review. Definitely helping!
January 16, 2015
Ah! You look FABULOUS already! So excited for you! :) ..So you went with Sientra textured MPs under the muscle?
January 16, 2015
Oops just saw your answer to my question below lol. I'm interested to see how they drop and fluff! I have a hard time finding women with textureds on here and that's what I'm considering! I just wonder how firm/immobile they feel once inside lol. But getting smooths and them sliding WAY to the side (or even into the armpit eventually) when lying down scares me!
