Will they ever feel normal?? - JustBreastImplants.com Forums - Breast Augmentation, Breast Implants, and Plastic Surgeons

Ok, sorry for all the questions, last question for the night, I'm just trying to imagine and picture and "feel" how this surgery will impact me.

After you go through the initial healing process, do you ever feel normal again? Like you do before surgery, only with bigger boobs?

I think what I'm trying to ask is, do your muscles go back to feeling normal where you can move normally and not feel funny? And does it feel like you have a foreign object inside you at all times?

And are your sensations still the same, like nerves all back to normal feelings? Not only in the nipples, I know loss of feeling can happen, but all around the breast as well??

And if normal can be felt, HOW LONG!!!?? LOL

i have not had mine done yet, but from what i have heard, most women just get used to the implants and they forget they even have them.

Not to worry, you will feel 'normal' again, only different. I was very conscious of my breasts until month 6 or 7, then it felt as if they had always been this size. I was no longer constantly looking at them, feeling them, just amazed to finally have a pair!

I promise, they don't feel like little aliens plopped down upon your chest for too long!

I'm 5 1/2 weeks post-op and my boobs feel normal most of the time. During the day I completely forget about them. But at night I still feel strange when I lie on my back, I feel the implants move and I feel the extra weight. And then there's the morning boob, which I still have a little.

Gwenivera · 03-18-2007, 10:59 PM

Hey I have the same worry "will they feel normal" as I was told by someone that after any surgery things aren't ever the same!
I am glad to hear that you do get used to them I guess I just wish it would be faster!

What is morning boob?? I have read that term many times, but never knew what it was.

Its pain in the mornings. During the day chest muscles warm up and I don't feel any pain. Everything is normal and I even forget about my new boobs. But when I wake up in the morning my chest muscles are cold, my boobs feel hard, and its painful when you get up. It only lasts for a couple of minutes, but its uncomfortable. Massaging before getting up helps, it warms up the chest muscles. Morning boob eventually goes away for good and implants feel like a part of you.

Morning boob is when the breasts get stiff and tight when you are sleeping. I think it has a lot to do with not moving, I'm guessing that it feels similar to an injury that hasn't been flexed or stretched.. but having not had the pleasure of experiencing 'morning boob' I'll just have to wait and see for myself soon enough.

You do feel normal, I promise. That was one of my fears. How can I snuggle with my babies with a BA. But I do all the time and nothing has changed but a much more softer spot for them to rest!!

Ina · 03-19-2007, 05:50 AM

You will feel normal. Yes you will feel a foreign object inside you when you touch your breasts or lay down on them but it will feel normal, if that makes any sense. I started feeling normal at 1,5 months post-op, where I wasn't even thinking about it anymore, and laying on my stomach felt like that's the way it's always been.

It's sort of like when you cut your hair, actually. At first it looks odd, when you're brushing it you expect your hair to continue a lot further than it does, when you're washing it and squeezing the water out you just sort of run out of hair far sooner than you'd expect to. And then after a while you just forget that your hair used to be longer. Of course, it takes longer to adjust to the implants especially since they'll hurt in the beginning, but it's the same principle.

I had over the muscle placement so I can't really answer the muscle question...

On sensation loss, yes it can effect the rest of your breast too not just the nipple. I had a thread about it a while ago... I have lost sensation on the bottom of my breasts. I have crease incisions and if you imagine a triangle from the bottom of the areola to the incisions, that's roughly where I feel numb. As it turns out, most women here seem to have some level of sensation loss on the same area despite implant placement or incision differences. I assume those nerves get pushed on by the implant and thus you don't feel the areas normally. It often fades with time though and you get more of your normal sensation back but many seem to be left with a few numb spots here and there.

Well, hope this helps!

Adding to the sensation thing...yes, I feel numb on the sides and under. But, I assume the tingling sensations and itching is good because it makes me feel like the nerves endings are reattaching and begining to gain sensation again. I had my inscision is on my aereola and I have feeling in them now. So, I guess when I wake up and feel that they are normal and not like grapefruit snuck up inside me...when they feel like my own I'll let you know!
