My breast lift, no implants journey so far...
I wanted to share my cosmetic journey as so many women on this site have helped me in my research, decision making and kept me grounded as I was prepared for the healing process.
Still a way to go but changing daily. I have an appointment tomorrow with PS as I have a sausage like underhang under the right breast crease incision and a clicking within the tissue when I move my arm! Otherwise, I'm coming to terms with my new body. Seemed to have remained a 34E which I'm pleased about as I really wanted to keep my size :o)

18 days post op lull
Up until today I've felt pretty fab. Great actually. Op went smoothly. Was off pain meds within 4 days, started to get back to light duties and move with less anxiety and discomfort. Generally all has been much calmer and healing well. No regrets at 2 weeks post op...until today, day 18.
Not exactly regretting the op, far from it really. My boobs are firm, still relatively large (34E as per op and I so wanted to keep volume and size!), no one as asked or noticed a thing...not even my mum who knows nothing! But I just feel urgh ????
I went to have my glue removed today and also went back to work yesterday which entailed some lifting. I suppose I'm feeling all a little flat because my breasts are still a strange shape..taking on a little boxy look, the left breast has been left margionally larger which no one that I've spoken to in 'the know' has noticed but im so conscious of it, a small 'under hang' below the incission on my right breast has developed and I saw my nipples properly for the 1st time today. All in all its just taking me time to get to know and accept my new body which isn't at its peak just yet. I know its early days, so much healing to go but I just hope so much that I grow to love them more and that they settle soon.
Is this common? X

day 2 post op update..
Hey all....
Breast lift procedure went to plan. I was no where near as nervous as I thought I would be. My sister did an excellent job of keeping me calm & tbh I was more worried about her as she is quite squimish so turned out to be a convenient distraction!
Took some pre op photos when all drawn up & that helped to confirm my decision! They looked terrible!
Consultant was lovely, staff were great, op was about 3 hrs, I enjoyed the sleep & then I was awake. Job done!
Being a tea fanatic I couldn't get enough when it was offered, although saw the numerous cups I downed a few hours after on the way home. It was that last roundabout...tummy couldn't hack it & there was my first post op treat in a kidney bowl! All in all though it was quite funny!
So now I'm day 2 post op. Pain has been surprisingly manageable. Keeping on top of pain meds -paracetamol & ibuprofen. Have been pretty good at chilling out but I'm finding it very difficult to not help with kids & house chores. To most that must sound strange but I'm a bit of a cleaning fanatic, if my house is tidy so is my head. If it's messy & disorganised then I get all urghhh. So doing little light bits here and there. Been naughty this arvo though...mother in law came over today and I've barely told a sole about my procedure. It's a personal thing & something that my family would never understand. So trying to appear 'normal' was really tiring. In all honesty I think she thinks I'm pregnant...not lifting the kids, hubby doing more than his usual share of pulling his weight (70/30 split most days), not drinking the wine she had bought over for my birthday (well no more than a very small glass 'cos of meds/healing) & the fact my tummy looks like I'm 5 months gone...jes, where has it come from!? So bloated lol! Although I know she heavily suspected something was up, she didn't ask & I didn't say. But feeling a lttle rough now. Boobs feel a bit tingly, like running water flowing through them. Sensation is coming back but think it's swelling & the brusing coming out. I'm now in pjs, going to watch the tv & give house chore orders out to husband who'll then be grumpy for the rest of the evening...happy days lol!
All in all though, I'm so happy. Yes it's a blooming self inflicted inconvience but so far my boobs look great. Keep on healing ladies..cant wait to show you off! X
