Some healing updates
HAVES AND HAVEN'TS
I'll start with the HAVEN'TS:
I haven't had any "zingers" as most women complain about
I haven't had any incision pain. Zero.
I haven't had "morning boob"
I haven't had dropping, per se, but my breast never rode high. This was their placement from day one.
HAVES
I have numbness on the inner halves of both breasts. It seems to be improving but that's my biggest issue. It feels like when my epidural first starts wearing off after delivery. I hate it!
I have Mondor's Cord. It doesn't bother me or hurt, I just know I have it. I can see the cords when I stretch my left arm up.
I have been exercising regularly. Yesterday I did a box jumping workout and it was great! Yay!!!!

Besides having that blasted Hematoma, my recovery has been ultra smooth. Once it was removed, I bounced back lightening quick. I love my outcome. I feel super sexy and womanly. I'm so happy. I still stand by going bigger by at least 25ccs if not 50, from the size you try on and like! For example. I loved the 300's; wish I would have done 325 or 350 BUT I'm still pleased with my choice.

3 weeks POST OP (on my healthy, right side) 9 days POST OP (on my left, hematoma side)

Finally!!! I seriously feel like 1 million bucks today! After the second surgery to remove the hematoma, I was off pain meds completely by day three and felt a huge sense of relief in pain! I got to the gym on Monday and Tuesday and did very light cardio and light legs. On Wednesday I went to my postop for the removal of the hematoma and everything looks great. I got the greenlight for cardio up to 120BPM HeartRate and to start massaging my left breast. It's kind of weird having my two breasts be at different stages in healing but I feel like my left breast will catch up very soon as the swelling is already almost all the way down and pretty symmetrical to the healthy side. The most helpful thing that I would recommend for recovery has been a 4-inch gel memory foam mattress topper. I propped a few pillows underneath to add a gradual but oh so comfortable slope. It made all the difference in the world for me to be able to stay on my back comfortably through the night these past few weeks. My entire life I have never been able to sleep on my back because it makes my tailbone ache terribly with in 5-10 minutes so I knew going into this that I had to find something!! So I knew going into this that I had to find something!! We have a king size bed and I only purchased it in a twin but after sleeping with it for these past four weeks (I started early to test it) I'm buying a king-size topper because it's the best sleep I've ever had!
I guess my only other piece of advice for girls who are in the process of choosing an implant size is to always always always go up a size. Coming from someone who had 125cc of blood removed from one side, I can attest that the difference between the two breasts was almost undetectable in the nude and completely undetectable with a v-neck T-shirt on. In fact, my husband and I paid $2000 to replace my 300s with 350s to be done when they removed the hematoma but I backed out last minute (like, gowned up, ready to walk back to the OR) because I decided to only go through with what was medically necessary and just be grateful. So there you have it. I hope this was helpful
Maybe I'll work up the nerve to post what they look like bare!!!

Recovery- round two

Everything went great on Tuesday. Night and day difference from the first time around. Came out of anesthesia, was alert, not nauseous, walking around at home like I'd never even had surgery. Crazy. Pain has been very manageable and I'm sleeping great these past two nights. The doctor said he's never had a patient with two hematomas so, I'm fairly certain I'm out of the woods and can take a deep breath. My left breast is a tad more swollen, I'm back to square one with limitations ie lifting, stretching, meds, exercise, driving, etc. so patience is in full effect. However, we are faced with adversity such as this, God sends heavenly and earthly angels to surround you and I have been blessed beyond measure at every bend. I'm feeling very humbled and grateful. Ready to pay it forward to those who have supported my little family.

I don't even know where to begin? So many good things to say about Dr. Fryer and staff. I was a fairly high maintenance patient, being that I had a hard time choosing a size, so I visited the office many times to try on sizers and narrow down. Every one of the nurses added unique perspective and honest, helpful feedback and opinions. They cared. They listened. They didn't make me feel like I was a nuisance, instead they validated my concerns and helped me "work it out". (PS-looking back, I should have taken Brooke's advice and gone up a size or two! Listen to them, people!!!) Dr. Fryer himself, is above and beyond precise and professional. He does not tell you what you want to hear, he is ethical and leads you down the best path to get results that are proportionate for YOUR body and then provides beautiful work on his end. I would not hesitate for one moment in referring family or friends to his practice. I am absolutely thrilled with the outcome of my procedure.
