Week 3
WORTH IT$8,900
It has been 3 weeks since surgery. Till about 3 days ago, I was still feeling pressure, tightness and sometime pain in my breasts. I think I was getting better everyday but the progress was slow. Also, I got tired easily.
I finally started to feel much better at 2 and half weeks after surgery.
In addition to that, I have been on an emotional roller coaster. The first week after surgery, I was happy with my result.
After that, I started to have ups and downs in mood.
One day, I was disappointed because (I thought) they didn't look natural. Then next time when I saw them, I was happy because they looked nice and I had boobs. On a next day, I got sad again that they looked to be sitting too low and looked too round. I always liked my size, which is a good thing.
I have to be patient and wait to see a final result. Hopefully they will not end up with looking too round and sitting too low and they will look natural... Man, I sound like a needy person!

Mondor's cord
Since post-op day 17, I have developed Mondor's cord under both breasts. The one under right breast was worse than the one under left breast. I was freaked out first, but again thanks to the girls on RealSelf. com, I learned that it would go away eventually and I won't have to worry about.
I went to see a doctor just in case to make sure that it was Mondor's cord not anything else. And contacted my surgeon. My surgeon said I could massage it gently, take aspirin and place a warm towel on it.
Now it seems to be getting better.

Day 5 & 6
The night of day 5 was not a good night. My both breasts were so tight that I was in pain. One time I could feel like my skin was stretching.
Today, day 6, got worse. Because my left breast felt like rock hard and pains badly, I had to take off my supporting bra for an hour. Then, thanks to Realself.com, I remembered that some girls said they used ice packs for morning boobs. I took their advice and felt better.
When a pain and tightness came back later, I took a shower and I felt much better again!
I realized that my right breast dropped this evening compared to last night. The right one looked too low and I was disappointed a little. Wish it stayed where it was as last night... Well, I will see how my both breasts look a week later.

I hope the pain is easier for you to manage now. They are are nice shape and size. Are the implants below the muscle? The hardness might be due to tight muscles as well as swelling. It will all relax with time.

Glad you feel as if they are part of you xx
I really appreciate posts like this because they helped prepare me for the emotional roller coaster. It was good to know in advance how many highs and lows would come in the recovery period.
