The Physical Things:-

Keep yourself prepared for this duration and also know that:
Your Breast Will Be Too High at First – Your implants will be sitting up on your chest after the surgery. Your skin and tissues will take a while in getting situated around the implants. Also add post-operative swelling with this and this will make you feel like your boobs are pointing into your armpits.
It’s normal! In fact plastic surgeon places the breast implants in a specific place on purpose. It’s a part of the entire process to achieve natural looking final result. The first three months are usually for all these changes to occur, after that the settling is usually subtle and a total of 6 months will reveal the final picture.
Nipples Will Feel Tingly – Breast augmentation surgery affects muscles, nerves, breasts tissues and nipples as well. Throughout recovery process you will have a tingling sensation in your nipples. You will also have short and occasional bouts of pulsating throughout our breast while nerve tissues heal. This will also cause nipples to feel numb, extra sensitive, and sore.
You will also feel your implants moving with chest muscles, especially if you had the implants placed under the muscles or “submuscularly”. Don’t worry, only you will notice this.
The Emotional Roller Coaster Ride:-

You will feel depressed, nervous, you will break down sometime, you will feel exhausted, you might even cry, and all such emotional traumas will take over you during the healing process. Here are some thoughts that will cross your mind or leave you haunted:
Second guessing your Decision for Having Breast Implant – Anytime after the breast augmentation process, you will look into the mirror and think if it was the right thing to do or “should I have done this?” Just be ready for a bout of doubts because you will experience them.
