Still sleeping at an elevation with a neck pillow. Still not sleeping well, I should probably start taking melatonin to help. After waking up I have serious morning boob, they get so stiff.
In general, my left boob is more stiff than my right. It freaks me out a little, but I have an appointment with Dr. Calloway in about two weeks so I will talk to him about it then. I have been doing more massages on that breast just to make sure it isn’t capsular contracture. Honestly, I think it is the swelling I’m still experiencing that isn’t allowing the implant any room. My left boob still has more swelling than my right, so I just think that it’s inhibiting the implant from being able to move as freely. I could be completely wrong, though. Lefty has given me issues from the get go, no fault of Dr. Calloway. I just think the blood pressure cuff just caused that side more trauma, so it’s taking a bit longer to recover.

Congrats! Looks like everything is coming along well for you. I am glad I came across your story. I am scheduled to get 475cc very soon. I’m older than you and weigh more by about 10 lbs, but I’m the same height. I’ve been trying to get an idea of the final results with 475. Hopefully they will settle soon and maybe you will be able to sleep better.

I had a small amount of breast tissue beforehand (I was an average 32/34 A (band size just depended on the type of bra). I went and got sized (@ VS) last night and I’m a 32DD, so I’ll probably be a 32D everywhere else. I can say this, they don’t look huge in clothes, no one could really tell that I got them done, but that’s because I pretty much always wore a padded bra. they are settling more now, as I’m at my 5 week mark as of Thursday (2/22). I’m definitely excited with the progress I have made so far, but I can’t wait until they relax a little more and have a semi-natural jiggle haha.

Thank you for your concern with it all! I hope you enjoy your process and have fun with it all! I know it’s been trying at times for me so far, but even with that taken into consideration I would do it again in a heart beat. If you have any questions about anything feel free to message or comment.

Thank you! My surgery is Feb 28th! I’m excited, but nervous at the same time. I haven’t told many people. My husband and I decided to tell 2 people recently in our family very close to us and their reaction was a little more than I expected. Lol! They were nice, but they seemed very shocked and thought the size was huge. So that made me feel a little concerned about how others are going to react.

I know what you mean, I had some people not understand why I was wanting to do this for myself. Most of them were the same as your situation, they were nice about it, just shocked. Please don’t worry about what other people are going to think about your BA when you’re done, this is for you and you shouldn’t let the concern/negativity of other people effect how you feel. At the end of the day, if other people are going to judge you on something that is completely normal, it’s just best not to surround yourself with that negativity. A way that I have dealt with the confusion from other people is just being being open about my whole experience from the get go, but I understand that that’s not everyone’s cup of tea. Luckily, a lot of people didn’t even realize I got them done (mostly because I wore super padded bras before).

Thank you for the positive encouragement. I plan to be open and honest about it if anyone ask me.

Went back to work on my 7th day. Definitely had some challenges keeping my hands on my desk to type and write. I would have random zingers and, of course, I would wince out of pain and freak out my coworkers lol.

Still sleeping elevated and with a neck pillow t this point. Not sleeping too well, though, as I’m a tummy sleeper by nature. Can’t even move over to my sides, as the implants are still extremely stiff and I still have significant swelling on my sides that causes discomfort when pressure is applied.

My one week post op appointment went well. I’m progressing exactly how I am supposed to be, which is good to hear because you think everything is going wrong (even though it’s not). I got my tapes changed which was a huge relief. The old ones were bloody and didn’t stretch with the swelling, so it caused a blister on my right breast. Dr. Calloway showed me some massages/exercises to do to help push my breasts down. I can say this, I wanted something to bite down on when he was showing me how to do them, it did not feel good. The pressure was intense and my nerves had just started to wake up so I didn’t want anything to touch me. The exercises were too difficult for me to perform by myself due to not having enough strength, so I had to have my mom help me out for the first few days.
