Re: 20 days post op; my update

[Guest guest]

Hi. I am a little over a month post op. I fluffed around 3 weeks, but not all at once. It was and still is a gradual thing for me. Every day they feel firmer and less deflated. Now I only see extra skin on the tops of my breasts when I lift my arms. I also have noticed that when my right nipple is erect and my left is not, my left is a tad saggier than my right. However, my nipples are even, and I think they looked a bit different even before my implants, so I am fine with it. My scars are gradually healing, but it is taking time. I think we just need to be patient. What I try to do is not look at them everyday. This is when you see the most difference. Try not looking at them closely for about a week. I know it is hard, but you will see the changes then.

I know what you mean about feeling well spiritually. I went for a massage a week ago with a therapist that was very spritual. She noticed my scars and asked what happened. When I told her I had implants removed, she immediately told me, "Congratulations. I applaud you and admire you for what you have done. The love of your body comes from within, and the natural state of your body is where you will find your admiration for it". It made me feel so good!

Good luck and happy healing!
