Hi ladies! I want to let you all know that 5 months in, things are definitely different, but in a very good way. :) I'll attach pictures with some comments too. My implants and fully dropped and fluffed and sit really nicely on my chest. In certain angles, you can sort of see where the implants sit underneath the muscle. I've always had a lean chest with some asymmetry in the muscle and bone structure. My left side always seemed to portrude a bit more and the left side was the larger breast.
I think it's important to note that I'm finding as the months go on and they really become part of my body that the same "imperfections" or asymmetries that were there before may not necessarily go away (depending on what it is) and in fact, may become more noticeable with larger breasts.
I'm incredibly happy with my results still, but also didn't go into it expecting they would be perfect. My bone still shows a bit more on the left side and makes cleavage look a little odd in some angles, but I'm the only one who would know as I know what it looked like before. I tried to find a good comparison picture, so added a pic from before.
Overall I could not be happier. Pleased with the size and would not have gone bigger if I could do it over again. I'm feeling more confident than ever and would totally recommend breast implants so long as you have realistic expectations. I tell my girls I love them every day. Lol :) much love to you all!

Uncomfortable
KeepSwimmingOctober 3, 2016
Hello! So for about a week, I've felt slightly pressure on my left breast when I move the implant up. I'm afraid it was because I had to lift this really heavy bag of rice last Saturday.
If I harmed myself with this stupid bag of rice, I'm going to be so pissed. I toldy boss that I did not want to work this event and was made to work anyway. I guess what's done is done, but seriously hoping I didn't cause damage.
I am going to call my PS tomorrow and ask.
Fingers crossed!

Hope you've not done any damage. I'm the same height a weight as you. I will be having my surgery October 21st over the muscle.
What size do you now where? X

Thank you! My appointment is a week from tomorrow. I am now a 34 B. Best wishes for you and your surgery!

How did it go? Damage done or are you in the clear? :((

It's actually been feeling a lot better, like barely noticeable, so I cancelled the appointment. I talked to the office today and she suggested that I wait another week and a half (9 weeks post op) to start engaging my chest muscles in my work out (have started lower body work outs at a very basic/minimal level at 6 weeks). She said to let pain and discomfort be my guide. So all is well!! Thanks for asking!

Everything ok? They look great.
October 20, 2016
Yes! Thank God. It took about 2.5 weeks ago the discomfort to completely go away, but it's gone now. Thank you!
January 13, 2017
How are they looking now? Would you make another update? :)
January 17, 2017
I thought I replied to your comment.. I guess not! Thank you for asking about me and prompting me to post again! I posted another update last night. Hope all is well :)

Incredible Results
KeepSwimmingSeptember 29, 2016
Hello ladies! I had my second post op a few weeks ago and my PS said I was doing great. I had some questions for him and here were his answers:
1. No, I do not need to wear a bra at night. I should, however, always wear a bra during the day.
2. No operating the lawn mower until 5 weeks post.
3. Six-month post op not needed unless I have questions or would like to see him.
4. Continue massages twice a day and remember I don't have to be delicate with them. Moving the implant around in the pocket keeps the breasts looking soft.
I also asked about exercising and he said to wait 8 - 10 weeks. Previously, he said to wait 6 - 8 weeks (at the consult). In hindsight, I should have been more clear in my definition of "working out" as that can mean a variety of many different things. I did ask specifically about squats (no weights) and he said that is fine, but to be cautious of how I feel because our bodies are connected from top to bottom and although at first glance, squats look like an isolated flute activity, all your muscles play a role in one way or another to make one squat happen.
I'm going to keep up my daily walks (regular pace) and recently started floor exercises (glute bridge) and squats (12 reps, 1 set) to finish out my 5th week post-op.
I am happy to have already received responses to my question about working out posted recently and will heed their advice as well as call my PS at 6 weeks. I did some light working out the other night which consisted of glute bridges (12), squats (12), sit ups using a small ball (24), and some light arm stretches. I'll do that twice more this week and continue to vary that, but hold off on stabilizing exercises as they might even mkre more intense than dumbell moves. It makes sense!
Take care all!
