Bikini boobs
WORTH IT$6,500
I have to say the biggest benefit of having fuller breasts so far -- is how they look in a swimsuit. Wow! That's different!! Also, lying down is kind of cool, too. They don't flop to the side and disappear anymore!! Yay!!
The scars are healing nicely and I drop a bit more every day. I was cleared for jogging last week and that was really weird at first. Felt like I was running w sandbags on my chest. I can't imagine how that must be for women with 400-500 cc implants! I'm lifting a bit more but nothing heavier than 20lbs which sucks...just another week and half to go before the "all clear!!!!" Not sure I'll go back to crossfit, tho. We'll see! Happy healing, ladies!

6 Weeks PO: Pop goes the scar tissue!
It'll be 6 wks po this Friday and theyre looking pretty awesome. They've really dropped. I saw my ps last week and he's happy. The surgical tape is off and the brown tape is on...which I love. I'm still wearing my strap and massaging about a week joys and times a day.
My left is a bit softer than my right so my doc went to town on my boob to loosen it up. Heman-handled that thing! It was really intense but he showed me exactly what I need to be doing to make sure the scar tissue gets broken up. I had NO idea you could be that rough with them. I can actually hear the scar tissue pop when I do it now!!!! He also put me on Accolate to help keep then soft and so far it's working well.
I've also broken out on my chest. It's weird....like a rash and it hurts. it goes away then comes back. Wth?
Btw, the Bali Bra is the bomb...amazingly comfy. ????

Compression Bands
So far, this thing has really been a lifesaver. One of the surgeons on here recommended wearing it low in the back and right above the bumps of the breasts as tight as you can stand it. Best advice ever. That, combined with really aggressive massages several times a day, has made a huge difference in getting these things to drop. It's been a fight but I'm getting there!!!

I'm totally following you because I am in a fight to drop these bad boys too!! I have two small kids and we are getting to that time of year where swimsuits will be worn and right now they just look so fake in a suit. Patience, patience.... I think I wore my band too tight last night which is why I'm awake at 5:47am!

Ugh...I know. I woke up the other night too and had to loosen it a bit. I'm nervous about pool season as well...but I feel like I'll be okay by the 3rd month. Better be! Funny, I've always cursed gravity until now. Keep me posted with your progress. Good luck!!! :)

I am right here with you ladies this whole dropping thing is driving me insane, I am at almost 3 weeks post op. My Ps doesn't do the band or have me message which I don't understand, I would like to help my stubborn boob along, one is settling in place the other is still up there uhg... why the heck are al the ps so different in what they do and recommend? I often wonder how u no what is right or wrong, I guess its just trust in the ps u choose.
