3 years post op!
It's been 3 years since my breast implants! I can't believe it! I live the way they look and the proportion to my body bc people don't ever think that they are fake! My surgeon did a great job for sure. I didn't have any issues or complications. A little pain in the muscles around a year and I'm not sure what that was about but I went to the Dr and had a breast exam and they found nothing. The pain stopped eventually and it wasn't bad anyway. I love the way they look standing up but when I lay down on my back they go to the sides too much. I think the pocket is a little too large especially on the right breast, but I relocated so I can't go visit my surgeon about it. Anyway. I just wanted to give an update and post a pic bc it's hard to find post it pics after a year. Nipples are in even Due to breast feeding pre op, I didn't want to move them. But I'm happ and they look even more amazing in a bra!
2 months post op
So I made it to two months with no issues...yaaaaay! My implants are dropping nicely. They will always be uneven bc the left nipple is lower then the right one, but I'm happy. I knew going in that they wouldn't be perfect due to them looking so different. The top pole looks great...awesome cleavage in a wire bra:) I really do wish the bottom pole was more similar though. The smaller breat with the bigger implant looks great and it actually looks like the bigger one now, but they are actually the same size. The left is just pointier bc of the natural shape and it looks smaller bc there's not much bottom pole. It's slightly higher too bc my surgeon wanted to make sure the cleavage looks even since that's what everyone sees. I think if I out a bigger implant in the left breast it might fill out the bottom, but then I'm back to having two different sized boobs. I'm a 34 DD at VS and that size is already hard to find, so I think I'm happy w the size. I know they will continue to change so I'll just keep my fingers crossed that they continue to even out.
Two weeks post op.
So today is day 16. I'm still loving my new boobies:) the swelling has gone away and now they seem a bit smaller though. The pain is mostly gone...I still have a lot of pain under the larger implant. It often feels like a bruise and a pulled muscle at the same time. I'm gonna call my PS today and make sure that it's normal. The left (smaller) implant has softened up a lot...it almost feels real. The right one is still pretty hard, but I think it's just healing a little slower. I posted some pics of 2 weeks. My nipples still look bit uneven (they were before surgery due to the asymmetric shape of my breasts), but in a shirt it's not really noticeable so I'm happy. I started sleeping on my side at two weeks and am so happy about that! I'm not a back sleeper at all! I've been sleeping in bras, but the bands dig into the incision areas and that's the area that is already hurting so it wakes me up at night. Last night I had to take some Tylenol and ice my incision so I could sleep...it sucks! I thought the pain would be gone by now:( also, I'm kinda having boob envy and wishing I could have gone a little bigger...but I'm still happy to not look like I did pre op!
