Considering downsizing my BA from 400 cc to 300 or 200 cc
WORTH IT$7,000
After a little over 2 years with 400 cc BA, I am considering going smaller. For my frame it just seems too large and makes me look bigger than I am. I've only had mine in for a short time but am starting to get self-conscious about how big they are and have received a few comments from (creepy) men, so I am opting for a more natural look. Nervous about the complications and what downsizing will look like or if I were to take them out altogether

7 week check up
I'm about 7 weeks post op and feeling good! Made a check-up to check on my left breast feeling tight on and off and its normal so that's a relief. Looks wise I was told they look great and getting softer so all is good! Got measured the other day and as of now I am a 32DD. I've been working out for a few weeks now and each week adding more to my routine and activities at crossfit. I was able to do my first overhead movement today (split jerk) and it felt fine; just went lighter on the weights to be safe. Still avoiding push-ups, pull-ups and burpees bc it still feels a little weird. My PS told me being active and working out will help them get softer faster as well. They are starting to look and feel a part of me which is making me really happy with my decision and I am really happy I decided to do this :)

I'm exactly in the same boat as you... Getting 400cc, silicone, unders but in dual plane placement and textured. I'm 5'4" and about 120 and also do crossfit. I'm glad to read that you've transitioned back so well as that was one of my main concerns!! Like you I wanted something bigger, but not so people would gawk. For me Its such a happy medium between getting your monies worth and being able to do all the same stuff, to not big enough because you're afraid to not do the things you're use to. I don't go until November 11th so I'd love to hear how the rest of your healing goes!!

Actually as of yesterday I'm able to do everything I used to do which is a great feeling and a relief because I was a little worried. Hanging from the bar was uncomfortable for the longest time but as of now I am able to do pull ups, rope climb, and toes to bar. So about 5 months after my BA. Slowly but surely, it all comes back :). Good luck with everything

Crossfit exercise at 6 weeks
Its just about 6 weeks post-op. I've gotten back to the gym and started back at crossfit. each week feels better, I was able to run for the first time over the weekend and felt fine. Takes a while to get used to the heavier chest, but double sports bra does the trick. I'm staying away from pull-up, push ups, rope climbs and heavy overhead for another few weeks just to be safe. Did dumbbell snatches today and felt fine. Left side is a lot tighter but I think movements like that will actually help loosen the muscles up. Left side will feel funky on and off and is a little higher and wider than the right. Hoping as the weeks go by they soften up and match a little more, I'm the only one that notices the difference. Feels good to be back at the gym, going 75-80% effort right now.

I've just gotten implants and started thinking about my vigorous yoga practice and possibly displacing them as I read some advice given. Your review helped! When did you actually get back to the push up part?

There will be no pushups for me. All I do is surrounding weight work but no isolation of the pecs. I do not want animation deformity. I'm working my way back to the same weight level as before surgery, but going slow.

I took me a few months before I could do push ups again, to be honest it has never felt normal to me compared to other movements since push ups involve contraction of the chest muscles. I'll still do push ups and yoga but it does feel odd, I can see the muscle push against the implant and it does change shape but only during the muscle contraction and then it goes back.
