38, 2 BF kids, 107 lbs, AA to 400CC/420CC Naturelle HP Tear Drop Implants

I am three weeks post op today and feeling great. The only real issue I've had is chaffing. A week after the surgery I was told I could change from the post-op bra into a front closing sports bra with cups. This turned out to be very difficult to find. It took a week before I found something comfortable that fit. In the mean time, all the swelling had gone down and the post-op bra moved around so much and literally rubbed my breasts raw. Dipping back into my nursing days, lanolin cream has helped tremendously.
My doctor said everything looks great. I still have tapes over my incisions and will keep those on until April 12. They have both dropped quite a bit and are rounding out nicely. My left one still appears a bit bigger though the right has a bigger implant. They were never shaped the same so that has affected things as well.
I went bathing suit shopping and the difference was just amazing. I can't wait until they are fully healed and it is beach season!!
Posted a few pics of my progress.

Today was my post-op. My doctor said I was 100% ahead of schedule. He said it takes a month for my muscles to give up and allow the implant to fully drop and fluff (though I don't think he actually said "fluff".) He also said it takes a month for my brain to reset and accept them as my own and not always think of them as fake. He said they looked great, but would continue to fill out and round out over the coming weeks. (Personally I already thought they looked pretty great, but what do I know? I've lived 20+ years with tiny boobs).

I go back on Tuesday for him to change the tapes over the incisions. He said he couldn't do it today as they would start bleeding.

One week down!!

It's day 4. I'm back at work. I can't say I am thrilled to be here but oh well. I also can't say I am actually "working" either. I'm here physically.

Sleep wasn't great last night. Not because of pain but because sleeping elevated on my back is getting old. REALLY OLD. I kept waking to roll to my side only realizing I couldn't.

I'm sore this morning. I made it all day yesterday with just Tylenol. I did take a muscle relaxer before bed but couldn't tell it did a whole lot for me. I'm not opposed to taking a pain killer tonight because I know pulling a full day at work is going to wear me out. Hopefully after that I can just use Tylenol and Tylenol PM and be fine.

Yesterday was hard for me emotionally. I was still very bloated (I looked 5 months pregnant), I was sore and my boobs were super pointy. I expected most of that, but it was still hard to accept. I was thrilled this morning when I finally woke up to see my breasts are already starting to round out. I can tell the left one dropped quite a bit. The bloating is still there, but I finally went to the bathroom so that is subsiding slightly.

If I sit long enough I get weird sensations. Almost like air bubbles escaping. Or I can feel them dropping a little. It's hard getting used to the extra weight on my chest. I still have no feeling under my breasts. The bruising is going away as well.

I am very excited for my post op appointment Thursday. I want to hear the totals and see how he feels things are going. While I haven't minded the surgical bra, I am ready to be in something else for sure. I ordered a zip front sports bra with cups (as per my instructions) from Amazon. I just hope it fits.

I did see a few friends today that said, had they not known what I did, they would have never guessed because it looks so natural and proportional. I'm thrilled as that is exactly what I wanted. And I am very happy with the size almost to the point I think they are a little big. I know some of that is still swelling. I'm not used to having to work around them. I also feel like I have to hold on to them when I walk because having them is so foreign to me!!

Here are some day 4 pics. Still need to level out some but we are making progress!
