About Nicole's Breast Augmentation:
Breast Implants - Recovering after Surgery

Two months after breast implants

What a difference two months makes! With the exception of one minor problem, my new breasts are the best thing since sliced bread! They are pretty much even in size and they are really starting to get soft.  By this I mean that all of the tissue around them is softer and movable without discomfort.

The implants themselves inside still are quite firm but I am told another month will get them much softer. They look very natural and I am back to all of my usual activities. The minor problem is a creaking sound that happens when I manipulate the right breast as my doctor told me to (massage).  This too is normal and common and will go away on its own.

For about a month, I had this creak, creak whenever I bent over or moved certain ways. Now it only happens infrequently and I think it will be gone in a week or so. Right now, that process is not yet complete. But I have no pain at all.

I am very comfortable sleeping on my side but not on my stomach yet. Still a little too firm for that. But are they gorgeous. My husband loves them. They are lower now and look like real breasts. I am really starting to feel like they are mine. Most of the day, I forget that I have them. In the beginning, it was all I thought about.
