Almost a year post op and still discomfort

WORTH IT$5,500
I just want this information out there. I am almost 1 year post op this October and I still have discomfort and pain. Yes ladies, almost 1 year and I'm still healing. The internet tells you recovery in 8 weeks. For me, it will probably take a full year to recover. Everyone is different. I don't have encapsulation and I can still move the implant around in the pocket. I am 85% satisfied with them. I really have to modify workouts still, even deadlifting over 150 lbs is uncomfortable on the implant :( Still worth it, I never have to wear a padded bra !

I totally agree everyone heals at a different rate some girls are fully recovered by 3mo others at 6mo and a few up until 1 year. Thankfully my PS explained this to me do I was aware it could take up to 1yr to recover. Luckily you are very close to the 1yr mark now. I hope you continue to feel better I was advised to avoid ALL chest exercises for a full year to allow my body to fully heal

Steri strip removal

User Avatar

I just got my steri strips removed!! My incision area looks really good. I am pleasantly surprised how good the scars look already. I have seen some very nasty under-the-breast incision scars, so I am very happy. I am only 5 weeks post op. I am still a little sore when engaging pec muscles. Driving is still mildly uncomfortable. I need to massage a little more aggressively. Cleared for cotton/no underwire bras ( so glad to be rid of the surgical bra). So glad I chose Dr. Pousti and his staff! They're so amazing.

My husband commented last night, "It looks like you smuggled 2 cantaloupes out of the grocery store". Referring to my boobs. wow lol. I still don't think they're that big at all. Still sore. Started some boobie massages and the heating pad has been my best friend for my back.

I am still a little sore, more so on my right side that got the bigger implant. It's been over a month and I'm still not 100%. Reaching up for random items still feels a little strained. I can tell my muscles are still healing/adjusting.
