2 weeks - and I feel more tight - JustBreastImplants.com Forums - Breast Augmentation, Breast Implants, and Plastic Surgeons

when I massage, the implants seem to move around pretty freely, but they feel so tight, I am feel more uncomfortable than I was a week ago ... is it because I am just getting sick of the tightness so it feels worse or is it a sign of contraction? I don't even know how to tell if contraction sets in .. I know my skin is getting numb on the bottom half of my boobs - but nipples are still the same - sensitive but not getting so many shocks as I was ...

I can't tell if I am recovering or getting worse.

Is it a constant or occasional? I found that after 2 weeks if I got a really tight feeling it was because I was over doing it.

I think its just you are so down right bored with being in pain by this time you think you are not making progress but really you are. Going into week 3 was a real turning point for me and I started to feel like my old self hopefully you will be the same J x

I'm sorry you are feeling this. Try to take it easy and not over do it. You body will be grateful if you give it the time to heal. Maybe some ibuprofen would help, if you've been cleared for it.

Around week 3 I felt some tightness in the skin on my boobs. I think my skin was so stretched out that it started to dry and felt irritated. Then it started to peel (like a sunburn). This lasted a couple of weeks and then it fixed itself. I just kept moisturizing the skin, but was careful not to touch the incision. I hope you feel better soon.
