Me too! I'm 2 weeks post op and still have tits up under my chin. A few ladies on here have said that if you have tight skin and very little breast tissue to start with (like me) then it takes longer for the implants to D&F.

Thank you so much for all your responses ladies. This forum is such a supportive place. No one else would really understand the emotions behind a BA unless they are on a BA journey themselves.

If you are staying in hospital overnight, consider:
earplugs to block out noise.
eye mask to block out light.
a bag that is big enough to also fit the clothes and shoes you wear into hospital.
Something to read or a hobby while you are waiting for your surgery.
And if your nurse tells you to try a Panadol for your first step in pain relief then say "yes thanks PLUS 2 endone!"

I think they look great and very natural, but I can understand why you wouldn't want them to drop any further. Have you tried comparing a pic of now with before and the early weeks to see whether you naturally have that amount of distance between the nipple and lower crease? I'm the opposite - my nipples are quite low and I was worried about that but when I looked at my before pics with my surgeon's nurse, it was clear that that's just my anatomy.

Thanks ladies. Hubby reckons it was the champers that caused loose lips but still....

I was nipples on a chest until I got my 300cc implants. Happy days now!

Oh gosh I am so sorry to hear how he has treated you. My only suggestion would be to visit another PS in your area for a second opinion. I wouldn't accept what he has said. You are so young to have this burden. Make sure you look after yourself while you find a solution, and there will be a better solution for you.

I had my BA 4 weeks ago and had my hair coloured today - going back to blond after being darker over winter! My hair snapped! I didn't even go super blond as I'm transitioning back slowly! Not super bad but bad enough. After my hairdresser asked me a hundred questions I revealed I'd had a GA four weeks ago. He said it does affect your hair, changes the texture and weakens it!
So just an FYI girls. My advice, tell your hairdresser you've had a GA recently! Hmmm, maybe I need to get him to cut me a fringe! ?

I waited until I was cleared for running at 8 weeks, then started doing some light jogs to get back into it as you want to be able to jog on a treadmill to get fitted. I was 11 weeks post op when I went to She Science ?

mrsrosehiptea I'm now 11 days post op and still don't feel confident in my strength to drive, although I'm going to try a short trip in the next few days. There are some movements than seem almost impossible, like lifting a full kettle to pour a cup of tea. I hurt myself yesterday trying to do the button up on my super skinny jeans. And there is no way I would attempt to lift my 11kg baby and don't intend to for 4 weeks. Wiping the bench down is a little tricky. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to fasten my kids' seatbelts coz they are hard enough at the best of times. However, I have plenty of energy and went for an hour walk today and feel fine. It's a bit frustrating really because I have energy but no strength.
School bags - get your kids to lift them. Pram - get a lightweight stroller instead. Start teaching your two year old to get into the car seat and cot without your help, perhaps use some steps.
You're going to spend a small fortune on your boobs so you don't want to jeopardise the drop and fluff.
Have a read of my surgery story to see how my recovery has gone.
Good luck!

The bras weren't cheap but I guess you get what you pay for. The bra I took home was a Moving Comfort bra that was $90 but I also liked the Nike Pro Rival which was $75. I was in the Nike shop yesterday and saw the same bra for $80.
They don't sell standard everyday bras, although I have been told to wear sports bras most of the time from now on to prevent sagging. I quite like the Berlei electrify wirefree bras my surgeon fitted me with as everyday bras and bought an extra one on EBay.
I tried a push up bra for the first time yesterday. VaVaVoom!!! Hahaha.

Hi ladies
Just thought I'd share the great experience I had getting fitted for a sports bra at She Science in Kew, Melbourne. Before my BA I was literally nipples on a chest so NO bra every fitted me properly and I chose bras based on the padding they offered rather than the support. I'm a size 8 in clothes but always bought a 12A bra, and never gave a thought about the bra being loose as that's how I liked them.
So I think it's fair to say I had no idea about how to choose a bra for myself, let alone a sports bra.
I went to She Science yesterday and was so impressed by the service I received and the education on choosing a sports bra. I tried on about 10 bras and ran on a treadmill while a video recorded to see how much support each bra provided. From 10 bras I selected 2 that I would be happy with and that supported me, and then chose one to buy. The sizes had me laughing - 8E and 10D. I'm clearly not a size 12 in bras.
Anyway, I'm not some troll trying to spruik products - I was genuinely impressed by the service and therefore recommend other ladies in Melbs to give them a visit, even if it's only to learn about how to pick a suitable bra. Full disclosure - I was given a voucher to She Science as part of my BA package with Craig Rubinstein.
