36, 3 Breastfeed Kids, Returned to having volume following Post-kid deflation - Wellesley, MA

I lost significant breast volume after my third child. Pre babies I was a small D, at 5'3" 123 lbs, with a fit hourglass physique. I was looking to fill a C cup, gaining back the upper pole volume I lost. I was very concerned about needing a lift, but if needed would have gone through with it. I felt very unsexy and less of a woman the way my breasts looked post pregnancies.

I am loving how they are looking at this stage. I should have posted pictures of the earlier progression prior to my first pictures at 6 weeks, but will try to do that with this post. Before settling, it seemed like I had lower pole sagging (first 4 weeks) when the implants were still riding high. It took patience and time, but the implant has slowly settled into the lower pole and looks natural. I know there is still some more settling to occur, but so far I am very pleased. More pictures to follow after my next appointment.

I am 8 weeks post op today. Yesterday was my first "real" upper body workout following BA. I did not do any isolated chest exercises, focusing on biceps, back and shoulders. I've been doing legs since 3 weeks and isolated biceps at 6 weeks. Today I feel soreness and sharp pains that come and go, around the breast and towards my armpits. Mostly left side. The incisions also seem sore today. Wondering if anyone felt this way after first upper body workout and if I should be concerned. I lowered all the weights, so I'm doing a post injury/beginners workout. I took a day off at the gym today, wondering if I should shelf upper body a few more weeks.
