Still not too thrilled about how much different they are now, because they weren't this different before. One still feels like a rock strapped to my chest, the other feels pretty normal. Luckily I did see my PS today, finally, (haven't seen her since 1 day post), & she said although she doesn't like to see this much swelling and tightness at this point, it can be worked through. She said I've probably overdone it with my right arm, which I know I have, (I don't have a choice with a 2 year old), so now I've got one of those fancy elastic straps that goes around the upper pole, this thing isn't terrible until it slides up under my arm, then it hurts. Oddly enough, my breast have no more bruising on them and haven't for a while, but my rib area right under both breast is super sore, tender, as if I got punched in the ribs on both sides, on my left you can actually see bruises. Of course I asked the nurse and she had no answer, then I totally forgot to ask my dr, oh well, she said I didn't need to see her again until March, so I guess I don't have anything she's too worried about going on. Oh and she didn't tell me when I can lift again so I guess I'll make my own call on that one. I've had to pick my kid up multiple times anyways so I guess I've blown that part of recovery. I'll post pics soon, I am just really unhappy with their looks right now. Hope everyone else is having a better time than me.

I'm not gonna lie, I'm really not impressed at all most of the time. My right is hard and I can feel the implant on the upper pole on the right, yet the left is almost droopy looking and pointy, like they were before my BA, just now bigger and more noticeable. = /
I'm praying that this isn't the final look for them but I'm afraid they aren't going to get much better. So I've kinda given up on having nice looking breasts, it just wasn't in the cards for me, I guess. Good reason to focus on getting the rest of my body in better shape though! I know it sounds bad but I thought new boobs would give me a boost of confidence, truth is they might have if they were both the same and my body looked better everywhere else. So like I said I'm giving up on my boobs and focusing on the rest of me. Maybe by my March appointment they will be evened out and fuller at the bottom. Fingers crossed xx!

Soo very unsure, but still hopeful!

Well I'm about 3 1/2 weeks post and I feel like I've got a normal breast on one side and a rock on the other. Every movement on my right side feels tight and like the implant is going to bust out of my skin, the left seems great. This is so weird, I'm praying that this is normal. I see my PS Dec 4 so I'm really hoping she can ease some of my concerns. This has been quite the journey.

Well its been three months today and I'm still not completely happy with the right, it's still more high and firm than the left, it's also much more sensitive and has a bulge at the top, you can't really see it but when I lay flat on my back I can feel it and my husband can too. He says "what do you expect? You got plastic bags filled and stuffed in your boobs!"
I still expected better results for 4500$+. I could have bought a lot of nice stuff for that money. = )
I'm being patient and hoping my PS has some advice and ability to correct the bulge issue. I see her in a month.

I perfectly understand you, I'm 2 weeks post ba with hp textured implants and haven't seen much change. The first week was horrible for me , I was so sad and depressed, crying all nights lol I saw my ps today and she said everything looks perfect and the implants are going to drop nicely so I think I just need to be very patient.
I guess everyone is different and some women just get immediate results and for others( like me) take longer to get.
Well keep positive and don't worry a lot, remember that there's always a solution for everything.. I'll keep that in mind too :-)

Feeling a little better, but still unsure!?

My left breast is soft and honestly feels like a real breast should if you ask me, (I haven't felt many boobs in my day besides my own), that being said my right feels super tight and every time my pectoral muscle moves on that side I can feel it, it's almost like it's squeezing the implant, but I'm over the muscle, it's so weird. I can't wait to see my dr in a couple weeks to find out if this is normal. It sure doesn't feel or look very good. My pics look the same so I'll wait and post when there's a difference, oh, my steri strips are off, scars look pretty good, I'm using Mederma on them every day. I'll post pictures of the incisions soon.

Oh , and I should have went bigger, but I'm really ok with the fact that they aren't even noticeable. Took a family picture today and it just looked like I had one of my old padded bras on.
Glad you checked in with your doctor. Don't be afraid to check in again in month if you're feeling uneasy about your healing progress. Can you try lifting your child on to your other hip using your other arm. Awkward but perhaps that will give your other side a chance to heal? Take it easy when you can and crossing my fingers that the strap works!
