Right breast still riding high
$4,950
Well....my right breast is still riding much higher than my left. I'm actually nearly about to have an emotional breakdown. I am so tired of waiting for this to correct. I am 10 weeks PO. And pretty happy with my left side. But the right is just bizarre looking. Since the implant is up so high, and I had a small amount of SAG before, the lower pole of my breast appears even more saggy. I have returned to working out pretty rigorously, since I am a couple months past...and I do work my chest. I don't know if that slows the progress. This is so frustrating. I am going on a trip to Jamaica with my husband for our anniversary In Less than four weeks...and I am so scared this is how I will look. And so, limiting my bikini options... Which is STUPID, since that is what I thought this BA was supposed to correct!!! I posting pics, and think the difference is quite noticeable. So sad.

The boob saga continues....
I am about 6 weeks out, and healing nicely. My incision scars are becoming less noticeable every day!! I can sleep on my side again, work out.. So I'm happy. My left breast has settled faster than my right, which is causing me some concern....so I am going to the doc next week just to ease my mind!! Anyone else experience this??

Why me....
So, earlier this week I noticed a pain under my left breast, along my rib cage. The pain was stabbing, and bruise like. Then last night, I felt that pain again, and when I leaned back a bit and felt the area I feat vertical strings underused skin. Naturally, I freaked out. So I went to the Doc today to be certain of what was going on, and apparently I have Mondor's cords/disease. Basically, it's veins that have become clotted and raised. Only real solution is ibuprofen. And time. I am super bummed. I don't want anything else slowing my healing process. I am still planning to start working out on Monday...but I guess I need to expect it to be mild. Truthfully, I do not see how people become addicted to plastic surgery. I couldn't handle this stress all the time.
Has anyone else dealt with these cords? Have any encouragement?

Hmmm. That's interesting. I've felt bruise like pain in the same area as well, and I esp notice it when I'm wiping (tmi but that's when I have to stretch that side out) but I don't feel the cord like projections. Are you feeling that pain when you're not stretching?

Sometimes, yes. Like if I have been sitting in one position for a while, when I stand, I will get sharpish pains, and the area will feel even more tender. I got to work out for the first time today, just lower body, and I didn't have any issues...so I am happy about that. But I am nervous about working upper body, so my trainer and I will take that really slowly, and lightly.... Are you feeling bruised on one side more that the other?

The left side more. The right side has been an angel but the left side has been more swollen and feeling more pulling.

Yes I have some too. They aren't really painful for me relative to the whole process ;). I ve found mine have responded really well to gentle massage with scar cream. I just had steri strips removed a few days ago and started ketacote. I rub that on twice a day and use a bit of pressure sliding back and forth along the whole incision several times. I do the same in shower with gel. In three days theyve softened greatly. Yesterday I even heard a weird crunch pop and the skin was much more malable. I think a part of the pain is scar tissue adhesions.
Try the gentle massage to help break them down? I'm a dancer so I've been doing a lot of reaching stretches to be back to bellydancing this weekend and last nights shows went pain free. Try not to worry about them! All the stuff I read said they are just a brief nuisance ;)

Don't be too bummed. That will go away. You look great. Much better than I did at your stage. We have very similar dimensions. I too was a deflated C. I'm 6 month post op and now fill a full C, small D. You will look fabulous. No doubt!!! Don't be discouraged by mondor's cord.

Yes, I have them under my crease incisions on both sides. My left side runs down about 5 inches long. I massage them every night and sometimes i still need ibuprofen. Yes they still burn and the bra band irritated it even more. I noticed them 4 days post op. I'm 2weeks now and I hope the resolve soon. How are yours? Are they gone yet?
