Still anxiously awaiting my implants to drop more quickly! My doc said because I had good muscle tone in my chest and tight skin, it could take longer (and feel tighter). My chest is definitely feeling better the last day or so, not nearly so tight and heavy. But not much change in terms of looks yet...

Also, the feeling is coming back to the areas that were numb post-op. It's such a strange 'pins and needles' feeling every now and then! Conversely, my nipples were super sensitive post-op and are now feeling more normal, yay.

Hi there!! I have been watching your posts as dr. Rand will be doing my surgery next month. How are things going for you at a month post surgery?

My surgeon commented on my peck muscle tone also. It was the worst pressure when they would start spasming. I didn't even realize they were spasming as it was constant. I thought I had pain but it was only tightness from that! I too stopped chest workouts when we decided to go for this :) I feel it took awhile for mine to drop also. At 2 weeks my surgeon said to go free to let gravity take course and to keep pulling my shoulders back to stretch the peck muscle and push the implant down. It seemed to take forever but they did start moving down. You look great just be patient! :)

So far recovery has been fantastic...I'm already off of all pain meds and my energy is slowly coming back. I owe a lot to my amazing doctor and also that I was in pretty good shape heading into surgery.

Also, highly recommend taking stool softeners as soon as you start the narcotics! I have had no bm issues :) I also drank a ton of pedialyte post- surgery and I think it helped with bloating.

At this point, I just can't wait for my implants to drop - they are riding high! - but my doc said they look great and will slowly come down. Mostly my chest just feels really tight up top, but my lower boobs are already starting to soften. Now I just need to relax and wait :)

We're same stats(height/weight) and I also nursed forever, though I never had big boobs, lol. I have a consultation next week(1 Feb) with a 3rd doc. I'm thinking of going a little smaller than you did though not completely sure. Still on the fence in general...I worry about my ability to do things w my 4 year old(I live on Miami Beach and we're ALWAYS outside)...will be hard to stay out if the gym...all that.
Anyway I'll be following along to see your progress! Thanks for sharing, it's super helpful!
