I switched not much better in one breast

I too am pain free. I don't even think about having implants in my day to day activities. But I hated the tissue expanders. Once you get those switched to implants, it will be much better.

I am pain free after surgery and implants. Implants are so much more comfortable than the expanders. I don't even feel the implants. Hope this helps ♥️

It will take a week for the tightness to ease up, perhaps go every two weeks ♥️

You will feel the tightness every time you have a fill. I did mine every two weeks to give me a break (sleep, at night is the worst) in between. The larger you want to be, the more fills are required. This will be how it feels every time but you can stop when you feel comfortable with the size. I stopped at 465. I am small framed so this worked perfect for me. Tell the doctor that you are too uncomfortable and he will cut back the fluid amount he puts in each week. This will make it a lot more comfortable.
