1 month post-op
I am finally one month post-op and I am loving my boobs. I haven't worn a bra in one month becausey PS doesn't want me to wear one for 2 months. If my skin elasticity and measurements would have allowed me to, I would have probably gone a little bigger. I haven't been formally measured, but I think I'm a 34 full B-cup. My skin is still super tight, so I really don't think he could have stuffed more CCs in there unless he dropped my crease more. Other than the size, which I'm pretty limited to, I am absolutely pleased with my results and with Dr. Liu.
I feel completely natural with the size. No one can tell that I got a BA. And they look pretty good in a sports bra, which I practically live in.
As far as recovery, besides the first night, everything has been pretty smooth sailing. I only had pain for the first 2 days and after that I switched from Oxy to plain Tylenol. I did a lot of icing and took arnica pills, as well. One thing that is really important is the massaging. I am extremely paranoid with getting capsular contracute, so I have been religiously massaging them 3 times a day.
The only thing that I was frustrated with was that I wasn't able to work out. I did some light lower body weight movements and a lot of walking. I had my 1 month post-op appointment yesterday and he cleared me to fully workout. Yay!! Basically, he said "if it feels weird, don't do it".
I posted some pics and they are really petite implants and I have a gap between my breasts because of my natural anatomy, but my side boob is excellent! Can't wait to finally wear bras!

1-day post-op! Surgeon ended up giving me 250's!
I meant to update yesterday after my surgery, but I was too woozy. I am feeling more coherent today, so here goes!
Yesterday, I arrived at my PS office at 11:30am so he could do the markings. Previously, he said that he would bring in multiple sizes and see which one looks the best in the OR (250cc to 285cc). I thought that was a good range, because I didn't feel comfortable in 300cc, so anything less would be perfect. I had been flat my whole life and really didn't want anyone to know that I had breast augmentation, not even my parents. Only a handful of people know.
After that, we drove literally 1/4 mile to get to the surgery center. Everyone was super nice there! My surgery got pushed back 45 minutes due to a late surgery in the morning, but I didn't mind. I just caught up with my celebrity gossip in People Magazine.
Before they rolled me into the OR, the anesthesiologist gave me a little something via IV and I immediately felt super relaxed and I was told I was really chatty. Lol. In the OR, the anesthesiologist asked me to countdown from 10 and I remember counting down to 7 and then I was knocked out.
It literally felt like I went to sleep for 5 minutes, the I woke up with boobs. My fiance was there when I woke up and he said that I was really talkative, too. All of the recovery period was a blur. I barely remember getting into the car. I was home by 5:30pm. At that time my pain wasn't bad at all. The nurse gave me more Fentanyl IV before I had left.
I just had jell-O and some broth. I didn't experience any nausea or anything. I took my pain meds even though I wasn't in much pain at the time. I'm glad I did because overnight, I was in so much pain. I only took 1 tab of Oxycodone, but I recommend starting with 2 in the beginning. I am currently taking 2 tabs (10mg) of Oxycodone and Valium 2mg and it helps a lot. I really don't want to be constipated so I am, also, taking 3 caps of Docusate Sodium in the morning and Milk of Magnesia at bedtime. With all the pain, I do not want to be constipated whatsoever. Hopefully, I can start taking plain Tylenol soon. We'll see how that goes.
I, also, started walking for 15 minutes last night before I went to bed. It was a super slow pace and I held onto my fiance for support. My surgeon recommended that I do that 3x a day for 15 minutes without raising my heart-rate to prevent blood clots in the legs. In addition, I bought some compression stockings to wear in bed. (I'm a nurse and I've seen lots of complications post-op, so I guess you can say I'm paranoid, LOL).
I have my first post-op appointment today and they will be taking off the bandages and I can start icing and massaging. That's going to be interesting because I feel like a truck ran over my chest. So I'm probably going to have quite the experience massaging them, but I know that's really important. So excited to see them! I am praying for a good recovery, free from any complications.
Oh yeah, he ended up giving me Sientra 250cc, smooth, moderate profile, under the muscle, with an inframammary incision. And I think that's the perfect size for my active lifestyle!
