These are two great "volume" bras I bought for date nights with my husband. They are not cheap but are very comfortable! I love comfort.

It's amazing how quickly you can forget that you ever had this procedure! I feel completely normal. I had a massage and my boobs we not an issue. I get elbowed in the boob by my kids accidentally and it isn't a near death experience. Life seems pretty good!
In terms of how they feel, they are much softer. They bounce more normally and the cleavage is more natural. They hang much more naturally which I am grateful for.
The scars are the only place that I feel is the slowest to improve. They are still a bit tough and tug somewhat but only if I touch them. I don't feel them otherwise.
From time to time I feel a nerve twinge but it isn't uncomfortable.
I had my 5 month checkup and my doctor is thrilled. So am I! He wants me to book a 9 month post op mammogram to use as a baseline. I think this is so smart ladies! I had a mammogram done before the implants to ensure all is clear. It was. Now that they are in, it's important to get another baseline so that IF something changes in your photo, you will know right away based on your original screening.
I will update again in a few months!

Stich site pain

1HappiMama
I have pain in my left stitch site area. Has anyone else experienced this? If I lift my arm or exert effort on my left side. Like a burning pulling feeling.

Omg it's like I wrote this myself. I'm Experiencing the exact same thing but in my right side. I've been working out a lot so I thought it was from that. Is your pain constant or just when you make a bigger range of motion? Honestly I think its probably a nerve or muscle healing still as I know dr pugash said we still have sutures for up to a year post op. Try not to stress. It really hasn't been that long for us since we've had our surgery. I know I have a long ways to go. I still can't do a push up or any tricep dips where I have to use a lot of chest muscles.

I've also been working out a fair bit. I bet you we are over achievers lol. Trying too hard too soon. You're right though; when I look back at how far along we are I forget that it was only March! I've almost forgotten that I had this procedure done. Hilarious! I was getting an item from the drug store and the pharmacist that initially gave me my surgery meds asked how I was doing. I said I was feeling a bit tired with four kids and it's the end of the school year. I paid and left. Once in the car I was thinking how specific he looked while asking me the question. Then it dawned on me that he was referring to my breasts! I forgot entirely! So funny. Well at least this pain in the incision site seems like part of the process. I remember Doctor pugash saying that they are veterinarian grade stitches and will take almost a year, as you said, to dissolve. lol. Veterinarian. So funny.

Yes!! So strange and I guess normal?? I have both that bother me when I put my hands above my head. My right is worse though. Glad I decided to come and read here tonight! Trust the healing process I guess!

I'm so glad that this seems to be part of the healing process. Seriously was worried I had done something to myself somehow!! Thanks for your comments. Phew!!!
