So I am now 5 days post op. Definitely did not think my breasts would look the way they do (not upset). I was worried the night before surgery since I have never had any previous surgery or have ever been under anesthesia. The day of surgery it was literally so easy and it really is true, it hits you then you wake up and all done waiting in recovery. The first four days all I could do is sleep. Lay propped up on the couch with a lot of pillows and wake up to take meds. I definitely am excited for the end result and know it will take time. Mobility in my arms is more today but very limited to front and some side movements. Laughing absolutely hurts!!!

I originally was a 34B larger in my right breast about 30cc's. For my surgery I chose saline, it was placed submuscular through the inframammary fold with smooth rnd mod plus profile. 500 in left and 475 right overfilled to 535 and 585. Seriously have help the first four days, in my experience, it was needed and nice.

So today 11/02 I had my 1st post op and it went very well. Just like my PS said not to be nervous of the four boob which is my implant sitting super high. He was telling me how he released a lot of the tightness in my lower pole of my breast since I have " thick dense" tissue that's tight. He said this will allow the
Implant to drop to in time give that nice supple look. I am not allowed to wear the bra for two weeks only the ace bandage. No more meds except my antibiotic and now ibuprofen 600 mg 3x daily for 4 weeks. He showed my spouse the massage I have to start doing 3 times daily for the next 6 weeks to remind the implant where it needs
To go. I'll post the video we recorded of the doctor doing the massage on me. So I have to do the massage for 6 weeks till my 2nd post op on Dec 15. When I had my spouse did them at home I literally broke down it hurt soooo bad. My smaller breast, left, hurt the worst and I'm sure it will get better the more frequent it happens. Beauty is pain right. I'll be posting updated photos maybe next week so that any women in my situation or who are thinking about breast augmentation can have a first hand account.

Thanks so much for sharing your experience on RealSelf! Your implants look like they're still super high. They should start to drop before long. Let us know what you think as you continue to heal!

Thanks for the support. They are definitely getting better and not scary haha, you and I are pretty much in the same faze (given 2 days). My stitches are the ones that dissolve. Have you started applying anything on the scar yet? I havent and have just been applying mederma around the breast tissue. I agree as well.....the pain was not really bad. The first four days were tough but day 5 I was pretty good.

I'm so glad you've shared your photos. It's so nice to see what a few days post-op looks like. Most photos are the before and the after, after... like when everything has dropped into place.

Your so welcome. I completely agree- I personally was looking for the ugly after photos and never saw any. the ones available were the ones that were already settled and more normal. I hope this does help women who are thinking about it or are going through it. Its for sure a journey and one that I do not regret at all...even with my four boob initially

Today I am 9 days post op and have been doing the massages my doctor rec'd and my hubby and I have seen a change for sure. My areolar complex is much higher now whereas initially they were pointing completely south. So very happy about that. My mobility in my arms is way better but now able to strain myself still since can induce more swelling

I've been told I have dense breast tissue also, had to get a repeat mammo because of it. I guess I will have the same look that I did when my breasts were engorged. You're coming along fine!
