Periareolar Lift with 650cc HP Silicone Implants.

Here is my 6 week post op update. I love them! So glad I made this decision and saved and scrimped the money to do it. I spent a couple weeks going back and forth with wether or not they were big enough, the right profile etc.... but when I look at them now I’m so please with the decision to go with the periareolar lift and the high profile. I know they still have a way to settle still, but I love the way they look naked and even just in a light yoga/sports bra.
So a couple days ago like all the sudden overnight they became so much more squishy and natural feeling. Literally like over night. My right one is still a bit higher and tighter than my left, but I know that they will even out over time. As per my surgeons instructions, I’m still not massaging or putting any treatments on my scars- which I feel like my scaring is looking a lot better than I expected. I have some nipple sensation in my left boob but not so much my right. They both still have that numb super weird feeling near the nipple and down the bottom side, my right side is more so weird feeling than the left. It’s such an odd sensation, almost like a very light burning sensation when I touch them, again I’m sure it’s normal as my nerves still need to figure out how to be normal again. I do get slight twinges and like a shooting pain in my areola incisions from time to time but nothing too bad. I’m still being super careful and protective over the girls, carefully sleeping on my side and making sure not to overextend my arms while doing things etc. I go back to the doc on 9/20 for my 8week follow up- looking forward to hopefully being released to exercise and start scar treatment.

Today is one month post op! They are starting to feel more normal, although I do feel like they still swell and become a bit tender if I do too much activity. I feel so good that I think I can function at my before surgery level and I’m definitely not there just yet! Still avoiding lifting anything heavier than 10lbs and trying to avoid over extending my arms and pulling any chest muscles- but getting back into normal routine of things. My right boob is still higher and tighter than my left, I feel like some days it’s more noticeable than others. I’m not as worried as I was before, as I know it takes time for them both to drop and fluff. I just kinda wish they would do it nice and evenly. Haha
We have plans to go to Disney tomorrow, we have annual passes so we go frequently. But happy one month boobiversary to meee! I’m a bit nervous about all that walking but our plan is to get there about 630pm and take it easy until fireworks then head home. I’m excited, I’ve missed being able to do my normal functions. Lol

I am now 2 weeks post op and had my follow up appt today. I definitely feel much better like life is getting back to somewhat normal. I haven’t had much pain to speak of, just the occasional pull or tightness as a reminder to stop and take it easy. My right boob is still somewhat higher and more swollen than my left, but this is to be as expected as the continue to heal and drop.
At my doc visit today they removed the stitches from under the boobs as well as removed the steri strips from around the nips. He did put some glue on the incisions around the nips, especially my right one, apparently it is still a bit oozy. Which kinda makes me a bit worried but doc said it was totally fine. He also advised no massages for me as of now. Let me just tell you how very unpleasant the removal of the stitch under my boob was.... it was basically one long stitch that the nurse had to pull out. Not like tiny little stitches that they snip and pull tiny bits out. Like a whole long string of stitch came pulling out. A small piece of me might have died a little. Stitches freak me out anyway and then for it to be painful, well it sucked. But I survived and it actually feels so much better now that they’re out- way less itchy and irritated feeling. Doc recommended I take vitamin e pills twice a day as well as a continued antibiotic, and I’ll be back to see him in 6 weeks.
So first time seeing my areola incisions and they look as to be expected. I think they don’t look any worse than I thought they would, and I know it will take time for them to de-scab and the pleating and bunching to be evened out. I am 100% prepared to know that it will look worse before it will look better.
I love them and I am so happy to have my new girls!
