About a month post op

I am about a month post op and I am so happy that I did this! To be honest, I had a few second thoughts leading up to surgery but I am so glad that I went through with it.

At about 3 weeks post op (a few days before my month post op visit) I started to itch underneath the surgical tape/where the incisions are. I looked at It and it was clearly irritated so I took the tape off early. After seeing my doctor he wrote me a prescription and told me it looked like I was allergic to the surgical tape. About a week later it cleared up and now everything looks good!

They've dropped a lot and have softened up. I am really happy with my size! of course everyone says they wish they had gone bigger, and I think I could have gone bigger too. however, I am still young and I didn't want to go too big the first time around. So happy!

You look wonderful! I think the size is perfect for you - especially since you are so young - didn't stretch your skin too much and look very natural !

Its been almost two weeks since my surgery! I am finally starting to feel back to normal and like myself again. The last time i updated it was post op day 4, so ill highlight some things from the past two weeks as they happened:

Post op day 5-my nipples were so extremely sensitive it was difficult to even put a bra on. This continued until about day 7 or 8 and it eventually got better.
day 8 I went to a cocktail event and was surprised at how good I felt. The rest of the weekend went well i just had low energy and felt like i needed to catch up on a lot of sleep.
days 10-now i have felt so much better. I can finally do things with my arms and put weight back on the when needed.

They have also dropped a lot and are starting to look normal! The left one still has a little ways to go but so far i love them!

A quick update!

Post op day 2 was pretty much the same as post op 1. I was still on pain meds/muscle relaxers, got out of the house to go to lunch, slept a good bit of the day.

Post op day 3 I only took Tylenol and 1 muscle relaxer to get me through the day. Before i went to sleep i took 1/2 a pain pill to make sure I slept through the night without any pain.

Today is post op 4 and i am feeling so much better. "Morning boob" definitely kicks in when i get out of bed, but once i get moving around i am fine. I am still taking the muscle relaxers, since i am moving around a lot more than before. Still only taking Tylenol as needed. I tried on some of my normal clothes/dresses today and i am loving it! I will post pictures later.
