I finally did it, I'm only about 2 days post op with 440 cc implants. I did not want more scars due to my abundance of stretch marks so I was very much against a lift. However, I decided last minute to get a donut lift and I'm happy with the results, my only concern is the swelling at the shelf of my breasts. It doesn't seem to be going down at all and the tightness is overwhelming at times.

Is this healing properly? or should I be concerned?

Hi Hun! I grew up in Simi Valley...Im totally familiar with Thousand Oaks. Cool!!!! Im in Orange County now. Your breasts look AMAZING. Ignore the swelling it can take weeks/months for the swelling to go down completely. You are only a couple days post,,,,,,,it takes up to a year to fully heal. You gotta kind of ignore what they look like now...because they will change so much over the next several months. Your doctor did a wonderful job,,,you can tell they are going to heal really beautifully. You are healing perfect,,,,,,you gotta kinda ride out the swelling. Its part of the surgery. Happy Healing!!!! :)

P.S. Once the swelling starts to subside,,,then you will start feeling itchy. You will also start to feel some twinges, and what I call "zingers" on the inside of your breasts. All normal. :)

Super happy with how the breasts are dropping, I experienced some leaking and bleeding from my left breast and its still a bit swollen. I'm 3.5 weeks post op and the bleeding stopped about 5 days ago. I was nervous at first but so happy about the way they are turning out now.

Looks so great, you can really see the difference once dropping! I’m hoping mine will come closer together as they drop an fluff.

I'm currently using scar strips every damn day and the scarring seems to be going down but I'm still kind of worried about the shape of the larger nipple or left breast. It seems to be much larger and I'm a little concerned about the awkward shape.

Also is weight gain normal after surgery? I'm a little paranoid and know I've probably put on wait due to the recovery time but also feel as if my implants have added a couple lbs. Any insight on this?

First let me tell you that you look great! After really looking closely at your photos I see what you're saying about the left breast, but it's truly not something I would have noticed had it not been pointed out. I think it's normal to really scrutinize ourselves after surgery and notice the things that aren't perfect. If it still bothers you in a few more months, I've read that the areola revision is a really simple procedure. But you might not be as bothered by then as you continue to drop and fluff and fall in love with your breasts.

As for the weight gain, I think putting on a couple of pounds is par for the course since this surgery requires you to take it easy for so long. The implants of course will add a little weight numerically on the scale, but not much in this size range. Again, I think some of this is being over critical of yourself post op. I remember thinking that once I had my tuberous breasts done I'd be happy with my body...Well, not only do I constantly look for imperfections in my breasts now, but I also look at other parts and think how I could make them better. Then I check myself. It's a crazy side effect!

So listen. For being three months out, you look amazing. I think they're going to be gorgeous!
