Can anyone feel their implant on the underside of their boob???
So I've noticed the last 4 or 5 days that I can feel my implant on the underside of my boob. My boobs are finally softening up a little, enough for me to feel how hard the bottom of my boobs are! It's not the entire thing, probably an inch stretch right along the breast fold. Sometimes I can feel it wrapping around a little on the side too. At first, it was mostly noticeable when laying down, but I feel like it's gotten a little worse the last couple days, and I can feel it when I'm standing too. I got pretty freaked yesterday, because I was looking at the trouble spots on my boobs in the mirror, and noticed there is the slightest indent above the hard spots. I'd say halfway between my breast fold and the start of my nipple. It made me start to obsess, wondering if maybe I could be starting to bottom out or something! I called my doc yesterday, asking if it's normal or if I should come in. She told me that the underside of the breast is all my natural breast tissue, there's not much muscle down there, so on thinner women, it's not uncommon to be able to feel the implant a little. But she said I should come in so they can take a look at it anyways. Of course, I work like a maniac, so I won't have time to go in until the 4th of May :( My goal is to try to relax and not lose my [RS bleep] over this next week and a half haha. I'll try to get some pics of it tonight, show you ladies what I'm talking about.

Did they go behind or under the muscle with your implants?

Weird
Sorry, it cut me off haha.
So anyways... the next week I was doing so much better! Still having a hard time, driving was stressful, getting through the entire work day took a lot out of me. But I did it, and it was an improvement. Now I'm coming up on 5 weeks tomorrow, and I'm relieved I'm feeling a lot more normal, but I'm at a weird in between point. Some things are still too hard. Driving is very uncomfortable, I can feel my pecs flex way too much for such a simple movement. I finally got the approval from my doc to go back to the gym, but I like to do weightlifting, and since I can't workout pecs or anything that would make me use my pecs for 6 months, that leaves me basically doing legs, wah wah wah. I tried to do bi's and tri's yesterday, super light weight and trying to activate my core more to leave my pecs out of it, but even then I felt like it was a no go. I felt my pecs engage too many times, and it made me a little sore, and quite uncomfortable. My boobs are definitely coming along, but I feel like the progress is very slow. So I feel super restricted in things I can do, and I'm still not satisfied yet with my boobs, so I'm kinda just going stir crazy, and being insanely impatient for soft beautiful fluffy ladies, is making everything harder haha. So yah, there is my first month in a nut shell haha

Felt the same at the gym! Legs are no problem, and feel my pecs engaging also, even with being cautious and using light weights with bis/tris.
Pretty depressing, isn't it? I was really hoping it would be ok haha, sticking to just legs for 6 months? I'm going to have tree trunks by the end of it haha
Lol yup!! It's ok my legs need work anyway!
Going to try my luck again with a bit of upper body :)
Are you going for bi's and tri's again? Let me know how it goes, will you? I'm a little nervous to try again haha, I'm paranoid lately with the hardness under my boobs, I'm worried to push it
I just checked out your profile and saw you are a massage therapist. I am too! When do you think you will be up to massaging again? I've been trying to play it by ear, but I'm still unsure when I want to try for it
Wow ironic! I actually went back at 2.5 weeks which was a little too early. I'm at 3.5 weeks post op now and yesterday was the first time I used my forearms/elbows. I think another week I will be 100% ready to massage like I normally would. Up to this point I've been using lighter pressure and have been ultra cautious.
Try about now if you feel you might want to. Just a warning you will feel your pecs contracting like you feel during the workouts while you are massaging. Weird lol. But anyway, I actually feel like the movements help with circulation and with feeling less tight.
I've been wondering if I'm allowed to stretch, to help with the tightness, but I always forget to ask my doc. So massage sounds like a good alternative :) I'm at 5 weeks post op today, but I feel like I'm healing slower than normal. Tomorrow is actually my test for massage, I'm going to try to do a full body on my fiance, see how it goes. My biggest concern is most of my clients like deep tissue, so I don't want to let them know I'm ready until I'm able to get through a few of those without straining too much. I'm so glad you commented on my review, it's been very comforting hearing what you have to say!
