No muscle relaxers mine are overs. In Mexico they do not have narcotics in pill form. Was given antibiotics, toradol and ketorolac. Took arnica and bromelin too. As soon as I got back I saw my regular dr who gave me some Percocet. Full lift, reduction on the right 310cc extra full silicone allergan implants.

In a lot of pain. I threw up my Vicodin and muscle relaxer. In very sensitive to anesthesia it happened before when giving birth. Anyway it hurts to talk and cough. I took 1000 mg of extra strength Tylenol since I hurled the pain killer. Boy I didn't expect this but hey my boobs look great lol

You look great from what I can see! Your first day sounds a lot like mine. :-/ I threw up my painkillers and was in a lot of pain. I was in a hotel and hadn't brought Tylenol so I just had to wait to take another Percoset. Day 2 was much better for me though, so hopefully tomorrow will be better for you! :)

I'm 7 weeks post op. I don't think my back hurt more than my chest, but I was just in pain. I couldn't walk anywhere by myself the first day. My husband had to help me out of bed and then support my weight while I shuffled to the bathroom. It was crazy because I've had two babies and even in labor and directly after child birth I was so independent and was able to move around on my own.

Had my BA and BL Wednesday. I know it's only almost 2 days post op but my right boob looks deformed. Ps sad the muscle will adjust and eventually drop but the implant looks like it's going in my armpit. The left looks fine. I'm do scared. My ps did not put steri strips in my anchor lift excisions says it's not necessary and it can irritate the skin. What are your thoughts. I'm mortified at the picture I can't post it

Some doctors don't use the steri strips and some keep them on for weeks at a time. They each have their own ways of doing things. I'm sorry you are having issues with one side. We can't say whether or not it looks normal without seeing it though. :-/ Your PS saw it and said it was okay, though?

Awwww, don't be worried. I remember being so mortified from a picture of my breasts after surgery , I also did not post it. I actually deleted it from my camera. Now I wish I had not done that. The problem corrected itself in days. The surgery itself is a trauma to our bodies, so it is completely normal to looked messed up before it gets better. BUT it does get better! Better than you can imagine. Patients is really important at this time.
