3 months post
WORTH IT$7,000
It is now 3 months post -op and I feel like the girls are finally starting to "drop and fluff". I was a little concerned at first to read that many of you were experiencing the drop and fluff within weeks, whereas mine were still hard and riding high even at two months. However, I've since learned that it really takes 3-6 months for them to really settle, and moreso for me since I haven't had any kids (meaning my skin had never been stretched like it is now). I'm still so very pleased with the size I went with because it fits my frame perfectly.

It takes a lot of patience
...to wait for the girls to drop and fluff! I used to say that the hardest part of my BA was the day of surgery and the day after. But now I think the hardest part is the "waiting for my breasts to soften, drop and fluff" as many of you ladies have experienced. Along with that is wearing this post operative bra for three weeks and it's been a challenge to dress for work because my post-op bra has the band across the upper portion of my chest, so blouses look kinda funky. Here are some updated pics which shows there hasn't been much change. I've been massaging them 5x/day as directed by my PS and I can feel them getting softer. I am not sure what to do about the marks at and near my underarm left by the rash that broke out (my PS said it was a reaction to the antibiotics). Does anyone have any suggestions? It's very unattractive. But my husband tells me not to worry about it. He has been absolutely super throughout this entire journey and although he felt I was beautiful just the way I was (pre-BA), he has been enjoying the looks of the new girls and insists on doing my massages whenever he can!! I have started to exercise (core rythms Zumba style, sit-ups and butt exercises) and have had to take Advil afterwards for some discomfort. Maybe I should take it easy still. At any rate I feel great.

You look great congratulations! We have similar stats and I ended up with 290ccs in one and 330 in other due to mild asymmetry. I did cohesive gummy bear silicone. I'm only 5 days post op but feeling depressed they aren't very big. I know I need to be patient but as you drop and fluff do they seem smaller or bigger?

Thank you, holl2015. Would love to see your pics especially before and after pics to compare. I'll be updating my post but I am 3 months post-op and I feel they are finally starting to "drop and fluff". I was worried for a bit but then learned that it really takes between 3-6 months for them to really settle. Here's wishing you a good recovery! Post some pics if you can.

Hi there. I haven't uploaded any photos yet mostly because i'm just crazy at work. I need to do that... I am 9 days post now. went back for my 2nd post op today. the nurse is amazing, I love her. the DR was out of town so I couldn't talk to him. But she reiterated a lot of what you're saying here. she said it can actually take up to 6 mos to a year to be totally settled or dropped/fluffed. I just got the instructions for massaging- she said 4 x's a day for 10 mins for like 6 mos. wow I was not expecting that but it sounds like it really helps these implants expand. did you say you have the sientra textured as well? my DR.s office raves about this implant. BTW i'm about 5 feet 1 inch and weight about 95 lbs and am also in the SEA area. :) thanks so much for your reply. will stay in touch.

BTW, your 3 mos pics are just awesome, gives me some great hope! I am just finding w/ this funky bra they have me wearing that many of my shirts are not very flattering so it's frustrating.
