10 Week Update

I feel no pain now! My right breast is a little stiff and seems it isn't dropping as fast as it was before now that the left has caught up. My surgeon instructed me to do implant massages to prevent scar tissue that could keep it too firm. After I do the massages, they both always feel a bit softer but they still get stuff at the end of the day. Especially the right one. For a while, my nipples didn't react to temperature at the same speed. They both did, but one always got hard before the other. Now I think they are starting to synch up better. As I've become comfortable with them, I feel like they look smaller to me. My measurements for my bra size are still large but I think it is because I'm just used to them and when I first got them done (after the swelling faded) the size was new and surprising every time I looked in the mirror. My bust measures at a 32DDD . I only have 32DD bras right now and the only issue is that they tend to not cover my nipples all the time. Like they pop out. I have large ones though. So according to measurements I'm 32DDD but I don't feel that big. Technically, I measure closer to a 30 band which would make me an F cup u believe? But it is so hard to find that band size let alone for F cup breasts on a tiny band. I might go online and buy 1 30F bra to see if there is a difference. There were none of those size in any stores I've been in locally. I lost my post op weight. At the height of my weight gain after this surgery I was about 145 pounds. I am now weighing in at 132 as of today. Before surgery this is about the weight I was. My scars are darker than normal...my surgeon said to avoid the sun even with clothing on but I dunno I literally have a problem getting out of bed a lot due to a mood disorder so I know it isn't from the sun :/ I have very pale skin and I lack vitamins though. So I've been putting fade cream on the scars I'll see if it helps.

Injury caused hemotoma that was corrected

I over exerted myself at work during the healing process and it caused a hemotoma (bleeding behind implant). It caused extremely painful swelling in my right breast. I called Dr. Mancoll and he saw me promptly to examine it. Soon after he scheduled me for correction by reopening the incision on the affected breast and cleaning the blood out. He was very kind he did not charge for his time I was very grateful for that. I only had to pay facility and anesthesia fees which were not bad.

After the hemotoma was removed, my right breast went back to the state it was before as far as dropping and softening up. It has made slightly more progress dropping than my left breast.

My left breast was sitting high for a while but it has slowly started to make progress dropping and softening. I can still see a bit if uneven level between them, but as long as the left makes progress it is likely doing well. Many women do not have both breasts settle at the same exact rate.

Today I had a post op appt and I was given the ok to start massages and I am healing well. Feeling good now!

1 week Update; weight gain very quickly..not just from the implants :(

The swelling keeps alternating on them. At my post op appt, my surgeon told me I can go without the sports bra but I must wear the white band I was given over my chest for another month because the implants are sitting high. If they don't drop he said he may have to do a revision so I've been wearing it. I wouldn't mind if they stayed a little high, but they kind of look square shaped sometimes. I can't tell if it is the swelling or not as they are almost always swollen still. They stopped hurting inside after only a few days. Now it just hurts if I stretch out too much because it feels like it tugs my stitches (yeowtch)..

I haven't had any issues with the stitches being pulled loose or any tearing or bleeding at all..I just can tell when it is stretching and it is unpleasant. They're still really tight, but I noticed I have at least a little more range of motion and I can move around more without pain.

I measured myself at a 30 band and 37 inch bust. So it would convert to somewhere in the DDD or F cup range if I'm not mistaken? I used some conversion tool online and it told me 34F. I think DDD and F may be the same cup size according to that site though.

Also, it included my swelling. So we will see what happens. Before the surgery I was a 32A or B.

I am weighing in at 140 pounds now. That's 10 pounds since before my operation.. the implants themselves weigh something like less than 5 pounds total so I hope I can lose it. Not being able to be as active and being bed ridden during recovery (basically) made me pack on some pounds I think.

I have had days where I have felt very bloated looking and I feel like with large implants it is important to keep my weight down for me to make them look as large as possible. I noticed in gaining weight the implants will always make me appear larger in general as a person if my clothes are baggy :/

One perk small boobs had was I could look slender for a larger window of weight. I hope to get down to my weight of 120 from last summer. With these implants, they maybe add 5 pounds to that even though they feel heavier.

I went to my consultation last week with Dr. Mancoll. The visit was very informative and he used digital imaging to give me a realistic idea of what different sized implants would look like on my actual body. I was amazed at how realistic the computer generated version of my body looked...the implant size I was hoping for actually looks great on me and Dr. Mancoll said I would be a good candidate for the size I wished for. He was very confident and answered all my questions. My surgery is scheduled for next month and I am very excited to finally have the breasts I always dreamed of
