I had been contemplating a breast augmentation after having children, I have always been an A-B cup and when I was breast feeding I was a D cup. But the D cup didn’t stick around after I weaned my last baby. I am a confident person and the main reason I decided to have the surgery was to be more proportional( I have some hips) and to fill out bathing suits and clothing better. I had a consultation back in January and booked my appointment the same day. My original appointment was supposed to be April 6th, but the whole covid- 19 cancelled that one and appointment was moved to May 27th. So far I am very happy I went through with it and look forward to the process.

Here is what I looked like before my breast augmentation, took these the day before. I have hips and a booty and feel like I will be more proportional. Small 34 A or B cup depending on the brand................... trying to fill up space to meet the 200 minimum!!!!!!!!!!

I was scheduled to arrive at the office at 9am, however the staff called me early to see if I could come in, I was more than happy to since I was waiting in the parking lot at 8am, gave my husband a big and walked in. Got all checked in and met with Dr.Furnas whom has a calming quality to her and then met with the anesthesiologist(I was most nervous about going under) but he made me feel at ease and comfortable. Walked in to the operating room and was greeted by everyone and was reassured I was in great hands. Dr. Furnas did a timeout with me and all I remember was telling them I could not even talk anymore and I was out. It was nothing to be nervous about at all.
Woke up in the recovery room and was super happy and talkative, felt good. Noticed lots of pressure and tightness. My husband picked me up and off we went back to the hotel. Ice packs were my best friends as were packs of peas, took my meds they prescribed and only took pain killers for two days. I did not like the fact of being constipated, so those we’re the first things I wanted to get off and I have no pain other than the tightness. All in all the day of surgery was a wonderful experience for me.

Decided to take some photos on day four post-op, just to be able to compare as they progress. I will take more every week on Wednesday(since that marks the weekly progression) They are high and hard which is to be expected, but I do love them already. Looking forward to watching them change as the weeks go by. I have a post-op appointment by phone on June 3rd, and that is also when I start massages. Will update then.

Today is my one week post-op, had my phone appointment with PS and I am now to start light massaging(they said a good rule of thumb is whenever I use the restroom, do a massage) easy to remember then. And I now can sleep in my bed again next to my husband on my back.. i am excited about that and retiring from the couch recliner. My breast are still high and firm, with no pain, I have noticed though that my nipples are hypersensitive though right now. Still wearing a sports bra all the time and am enjoying how I look in them. All in all week one has been great!

I missed the 2 week update because I was out of town and busy and because nothing much from the 1 week to the 2 week mark had changed a whole bunch. So here I am at 3 weeks post-op, slow changes(which is to be expected) I find my right breast(which is my dominant side) has dropped more than the left side, the bottom of the breast seems fuller and the shelf on top is not as prominent like the left. Waiting for lefty to make a move. But have to remind my self to be patient and not be so critical. My nipples are super sensitive as well, like hurts to touch. My breasts ache sometimes,but other that no pain.
I was told by my PS the steri-strips that cover my incisions would typically fall off around three weeks, mine however did not, so I emailed one of the nurses and got the ok to remove them in the shower. I finally am able to see the incision and they look good from what I can tell. I was told to wait by my PS to not start any scar treatment until incisions are fully healed and no scabbing.
I can sleep on my sides now as well, but was advised to put a pillow between my legs to offset the pressure.
I still wear a sports bra all the time(except for showering of course and when I do my massages) my Ps said I could go without one at night now if I would like.
Back to normal life as far as household things and kiddos, sometimes certain movements feel stange so I try and take it easy if I feel it too much.
Looking forward to the 4 week mark, when I can get back into my workout videos(modified as I am still not cleared for high impact till 6 weeks) but I am excited to sweat sweat sweat and work on legs and abs.
All in all still excited about this journey and love how I feel in clothes, having cleveage is amazing!
