Frustrated, Annoyed & Uncomfortable :(
My apologies in advance for being a debbie downer right now. I just need to vent. My back hurts even if I just sit up for 5 minutes. I am just constantly in discomfort. My breast went from feeling numb to feeling like constant needles are poking all around. I keep getting zaps of shooting pain through and around the nipple area. I am so sore from wearing this stupid band all day everyday, yet when I take it off I feel even more uncomfortable as if my body got use to wearing it. UGHHH i'm 17 days post op I just can not wait to feel normal again :( :( - they just feel like 2 obstructions on my chest :(
Slowly but Surely
Laying in bed now. Feels so good to rest my back! How long did it take for some of you to get use to the back pain? For your bodies to adjust? It's more of a tired feeling. Guess it's a given with more weight on the chest!
Had a check up with the PS - I only need to wear the top compression band - if you look at my photo you will see the right breast is slightly higher. Hoping the band balance it out - I'm so anxious!! -- I have a lot of bruising under my right breast. Maybe from the compression band pushing down that one side? - I put Vicks vapor rub on the bruises and it feels soooooo good.
Everything else I think is going smoothly - the tightness is mostly gone, although I am still numb. I only feel a little bit of discomfort on my sternum. I am so happy to be on only taking one percocet a day! Which I use for the back pain mentioned above. It's much easier getting in and out of bed now... But the "morning boob" thing others have described is NO JOKE!
The boobs feel a little softer and squishy. I can't help but feel them all day lolz the girls at my job think I'm nuts, but are so excited for me too [=
Overall I think I'm healing well - I'm Not even 2 weeks post op so I'm not too worried about it, but any other recommendations to fix the higher boob?

The First Week of Healing
This healing process is something else! It only been nearly a week and so far I am loving how my breast look. As I read in other reviews they really do change everyday! I am noticing the inner breasts (the cleavage area) and the bottom of the breast slowly beginning to round out. Day 3 post op when the bandages were removed they appeared round from the front view, but from the side view and and looking down at them they were very cone like. Its a RELIEF to see some rounding action happening lol. They currently feel very numb tight and stiff, yet squishy if i poke them. I don't feel any pain or discomfort on the incision at all which was surprising to me. There is this crazy sharp stinging pain at the side of my left breast which is just ridiculous!
My implants did not end up "riding high" they pretty much stayed put in the pockets the Doc created. He did lower my inframammary folds which gave my breasts a lot more lower pole fullness. The left breast is slightly lower than the right breast, so my doctor put this thick white tape along the fold so it can heal in place. I am wearing a top compression band over the right breast so it can continue to fold go further down to match the left breast. The doctor however does not want the left breast to be pushed down so he folded the band under so it doesn't put pressure on it. I look like I am in a serious contraption! - I need to wear it all day long and to bed :( it is soooooo uncomfortable. I am also getting a lot of bruising. My breasts are tight and the bands are so tight, it even feels hard to breath at moments. Also feels difficult to eat. The only helping to relieve the pressure is the Percocet I was prescribed. Today I tried to ONLY use Tylenol (because the Percocet is really messing up my digestion) that was a FAIL. I am also having the blues about the rest of my body. I am only 106lbs but my stomach is protruding as if I am 5 months pregnant. My love handles are chunky too! I look like a muffin top :( I had a slim waist & now I have no waist - i know its just a lot of bloating and swelling, trauma and the pain killers that are making everything out of proportion, but I want to see how my NEWBIES look on my regular body! Maybe they will even appear bigger when the rest of my mid section gets small again. Time will tell!
Question for you ladies you have been there and done that: Currently I don't have too much front cleavage. My skin is very tight and I chose an implant size that fits my breast width. As your skin softens and loosens does the front cleavage start to appear or become more visible? - I don't think I have a large gap between my breasts neither before or after surgery, I just think the skin is so tight that the cleavage isn't appearing yet. What have you ladies noticed in regards to this? Are there any little tricks or instructions your PS gave any of you to hopefully create more cleavage in the front post op? Of course in the future bras will do the trick but I want that cleavage when I'm naked as well ;P

My doctor is very friendly, comforting and informative. His before and after photos are amazing, which is a big reason why I chose him. His work is consistent. Many other doctors that I have been researching have photos of patients who's breast just differ way too much from other patients. Of course there are many factors and everyone's results are different, but when I see my Doctor's work I notice a consistency with shape and placement of the implant. Almost like a signature look, and to me that is very assuring.
