It's been a while since my last post as my girls have been doing really well. EXCEPT one problem. Righty looks super fantastic but lefty...oh lefty. She's still sitting high and mighty and has some numbness on the outside of the breast. They are both softening up very nicely although lefty is slightly more firm (I think due to not dropping and fluffing) Is it normal for them to D&F so differently? Does Sweet Lefty still have a chance of moving south and filling out? They look pretty funny when I'm cold as my nipples poke in two different directions because one is higher than the other. Please tell me this is normal.

Very, very normal!

Remember that you've actually had two different surgeries, since each breast is worked on separately. Plus each breast has its own unique shape and muscle development. Everyone drops and fluffs at a different rate, and the D&F rate for each breast per individual can also vary.

Have you asked your doc whether you need to wear a strap or use a specific massage technique to help bring the stubborn one down?

I've been wearing the strap since day one and now only at night. I just wanted to make sure that such a difference in timing is normal and that good ol lefty just hasn't stopped there for good.

My PS told me that to see final results, you need to wait 4-6 months. Though I've heard of a lot of ladies here who didn't see final D&F results until 12 months post-op.

Very normal. I'm close to 4 months out and my righty (the stubborn one!) is just recently losing it's hump. Remember - two different surgeries happened. Don't you hate when people say give it time....

I feel your pain!! I had my 2 week follow up and I was convinced I was going to get to take this dang strap off and he said no. My right crease was naturally lower than the left, so he put the right implant higher, so now, my right one is still high and the left one is lower, but more swollen!! So, he tells me since my muscles were so tight from working out so much previously and having to get larger implants that I have to wear this thing for 3 more weeks!!!! I hate it, but I guess it's better than having boobs touching your collar bones, right? LOL Well, good luck with your D&F. Maybe mine won't take forever. LOL
