So, my anxiety has pretty much been ruling my life since I got implants. I don't even know what to do about it. I've tried meds which kind of help but still don't offer much peace of mind. I was researching about my birth control the other day which is paragard ( an IUD) and many women said they've experienced crazy anxiety after having it in. I was having anxiety before the implants but nothing like it's been since having them. Most of the time I just want them out, I like the way they look but hate the way I've felt. I don't look forward to working out like I used to, sometimes working out will even give me anxiety. I can't stand it anymore, I just want to feel normal and not have to worry every single day if I'm going to freak out and have a panic attack. I worry that I'll be very unhappy with how they look if I get them taken out but if I felt better it would be completely worth it, but what if I still have crazy anxiety still?! I was reading the explant board about others experiencing side effects and the whole silicon toxicity thing. I don't know what to believe anymore but at this point I'm just wanting all foreign objects out of my body. Anyone else have an experience like this?

You need to stop reading up on them cause its not helping you. You're just causing yourself unessasry stress. Just reading the tone of how your entry was written gives me a hunch that you feel discomfort in them cause it draws attention? Maybe I'm crazy. Post op day 4 here ! Don't worry about it. You feel sexy? Good! Now you do you. Xo

Hi I hope you're loving your new boobs. Just curious how it's going after one year?

It's going so much better! It took a really long time for me to adjust and become more comfortable/confident with the implants but I finally feel happy for the most part. I'm still annoyed with the size difference however, I hope one day I can get them revised so they're both the same size! I think I would be a lot happier. I'll try to post some pictures soon :)

Thanks I'm glad to hear you're enjoying them. I am due for a revision for Cap Con....probably going from 375HP to something like 475L/500R (mine are uneven as well) hp... I'm trying to decide what to do next.... As usually I'm just worried about going too big. Do you find you can easily cover them and look really natural in loose clothes?

Oh yeah, it's strange because they're big, but don't appear as big as they are. Especially if I'm wearing loose clothes or a jacket. I have a slight capsule on the smaller implant, so it didn't drop as nicely as the other.. How do you like the high profiles? I was considering those but all the nurses told me the mod plus look more natural.

4 weeks post now, things are going pretty well. I usually only have pain when I wake up but occasionally my boobs will just be sore out of nowhere. The anxiety is slowly getting better, it helps that they're not feeling as foreign. I'm kind of worried about my left boob however, that side has the larger implant and to me it is noticeably bigger, my nipples are still crazy off and that pisses me off because I never had that problem before. Also my boobs were never noticeably bigger than the other. I know they're still changing but I really think the left will always look way bigger. I wish I would have just gotten the same size implant on both sides!! Since I still can't buy a decent bra I've been wearing these thin little sports bra things, which I like and they're comfy but I constantly have to readjust my boobs so my nipples look even, ugh I really can't stand it. I hope they'll even out as time goes on. I'm starting to regain some sensation on the left so that's really nice. Hope everyone is doing well!!

Aww glad your anxiety is easing hun give them time I'm sure they will even out. Good luck with your healing x
I'm so sorry you are going through this. I've had 2 BAs, and 11 days ago a revision Macs/Neck Lift. For a while after all the surgeries I've felt anxious and a bit "off". Kinda like pregnancy brain. I do think it takes a while to get rid of any risidual anesthesia and meds. Also, if you are having any trouble sleeping that can be a big factor. Especially with anxiety. You may think you're getting enough shut eye but if you're waking up at night more than usual that is not "good sleep". It took a while for me to get used to sleeping on my side instead of my tummy after adding these big boobies to my chest (LOL!!!) and I remember waking up every time I would roll onto my stomach b/c it was so uncomfortable. Experiencing that now too b/c I'm supposed to be sleeping elevated and on my back which is driving me nuts. You mentioned that you have 4 kids so I'm sure you know what I'm talking about with interrupted sleep! Your body has been through a major surgery. Give yourself time to heal. Two months really is not a long time, and believe me up until about a year your boobs will settle and change. It took over 7 months or more for all my swelling to go away. But at the end of the day, you know your body best. If you feel something really is not right, talk to your surgeon and your PCM. And stop reading about all "bad stuff" for a while on the BA boards. I did that and it just caused me more anxiety! Best of luck to you!
