Scars

Oh, I finally got my stitches out a couple days ago and here are what my scars look like. Better than I expected. Now I'm applying bio-oil and silicone gel strips on them. Hopefully they will heel and fade nicely.

2 weeks and a bit
Haven't posted an update in a bit, but I haven't really seen much change since the last pic. I can see my right is dropping a bit faster and they're slightly smaller, but that's about it. They're still feeling pretty numb and stiff. Can't wait for this feeling to go away. Getting up and down from sleep is much better now. Still feels weird when I do some movement with my left arm. I'm trying to use my left side more to see if it will help even things out a bit. Other then that, everything has been great.

Looking great girl!! Mine were stiff and sensitive up to the fourth week post op, then sort of all of a sudden they got better. Such a test for patience isn't it! But I seriously think they look amazing!! Still some swelling that will go down and they will settle in perfectly.

You look great! I got the Naturelle 410 as well. I got 295 ccs MF (moderate height full projection)

You breasts look fantastic. Beautiful slope! A few months back, you had commented on my review and said not to worry about choosing the bigger size. You were right! Thanks : ) I'm loving them now.

Thank you! You really chose the perfect size too. If I had your breast tissue starting out, I would have gotten the same profile and volume you did. You've got the best of everything! Enjoy~

Still very hard...
Here are some picture updates. They still feel like hard rocks on my chest and are super numb. I just want to fast forward to 3 months later. Other than that, I feel fine. Still a bit difficult getting up and down, but it's been better.

You look great! How r u sleeping? Did u buy a wedge pillow, now sure if I should waste my money or not?

Do you have a recliner? That may be an even better option. I have both and prefer the recliner. But let me tell you if you're not a back sleeper it can be very difficult to fall asleep. I find the elevation helps me get more comfortable but maybe that is just me. Laying flat on my back I cannot fall asleep but maybe you will have better luck. Otherwise wedge pillow may be a good investment. I know my doctor wants me sleeping on my back for at least 2 months because I have gummy bears and they need to set in the correct position. Side sleeping early on can push them to rotate. I found my wedge on amazon for $40 so it wasn't too expensive. But the recliner I fond more comfortable mainly because you can use your feet to adjust the back and help yourself up and out of the chair :)

I've been sleeping upright on a 45-90 degree angle. I just used lots of pillows and sleeping on the couch always felt more better than on a bed. I find when you have access to plant your feet on the floor, it's much easier to get yourself up. As Luna mentioned, a recliner chair would be good too, but not everyone has one, so I think pillows would work just fine.

I hear you about fast forwarding 3 months. I cannot wait!! I'm sorry your boobs feel so hard!! Mine feel firm but I can already start squeezing them and they soften a tiny bit more each day. It will get better I promise. Have you been taking muscle relaxers at all? You can continue to use them while you heal. If you feel and pain or tightness at this point it is most likely your pecs. If you take a muscle relaxer the pain and tightness should subside and you give your chest muscles and implants a well needed rest. Now that your muscle has been cut it will be trying to flex and find it's way back until it heals which causes much of the tight look and feel. Hang in there!!

No I haven't take any muscle relaxers. My Ps didn't recommend any. Never took any before either so not even sure where I would get any.
December 3, 2016
Oh weird that is interesting he didn't prescribe them to you. Huh? You'd have to get them from a doctor for instance I hurt my back years ago and had trouble sleeping and my doctor prescribed me the muscle relaxers to help me get a good night's sleep with my back spasms. I wonder why a doctor wouldn't prescribe you any? I am sure you'll be fine without them it just really had helped me out. Wish I could be of more help but these doctors all have such different ways of handling things.

Don't worry i am 20 Days post and feeling awesome.. Able to see to my side and All normal. Also yesterday i had night out. Dancing, hugs from friends, All night drinking and it was amazing night!! I Will make An update soon.. Healing well girl:) :)

I'm so sorry to hear that you are still struggling with all that tightness. Don't get me wrong I am too but my PS did have me a muscle relaxers that I this point I only take once a day just to allow my muscles to relax and let go..kinda give them a break after such trauma. I'm sure you will be fine without them it just make take a tiny longer. I hear you about fast forwarding in time. I want to be at least 3 weeks into the future..that's all I ask... Lol. I still struggle getting up from a lying position but everyday get a little better. I think you are looking good!! Did he told you to massage them eventually? How are you feeling about your sizes? They look amazing on you in my opinion. I hope that you keep getting better. Happy healing!!

I wish my doctor gave me some relaxers too, they feel so tight still after two weeks. Getting up in the morning is still the hardest part, but agree, it is getting a bit better each day. My doctor hasn't told me to massage them, I think it's because they're teardrop shape and I've read they shouldn't be massages, to avoid the risk of rotation. It's probably why teardrops are known to take longer to soften and drop. I have my 2nd post op with my doctor on Thursday to get my stitches out, so I'll probably ask him more about after care and if I can start using those scar strips and vitamin E on the scars.

You went with the shaped! Your results are amazing and look so natural! I'm seven weeks post now with Natrelle 410 280cc also, and they've dropped and softened. The swelling went down but I'm still a full B / small C. You look great and I'm sure you'll love the results!
December 6, 2016
Thanks, I can't wait till they drop and soften too. I feel like it's going very slowly, or I'm just being impatient, lol. I'm about two weeks post op now and I'm still feeling very numb and stiff.
