For the longest time I knew I wanted to get a rhinoplasty to remove the bump on the bridge of my nose. When I started looking around at plastic surgeons, I was totally out of my element and terrified- I felt like a lost puppy! As soon as I walked into Dr. Kenneth Smith’s office, Clinic 805, I was met with so much kindness and reassurance. The nurses were lovely, and the design was brilliant, and Dr. Smith blew my expectations out of the water. I was given a quote, and booked my surgery a few weeks after my consultation. His nurses held my hand the entire way- literally. Every stupid question or thought, was answered promptly and so respectfully. Surgery day was something I was really stressed about, but once again, the whole staff went above and beyond. I felt so well taken care of by them. His nurses, Pam and Kate, especially exceeded my expectations. The surgery was quick and very well explained to me. I didn’t feel left in the dark for a single second. Today I am one week post-op and had my cast removed, and splints and stitches taken out. I am glad I chose Dr. Smith as my doctor now more than ever! Although extremely swollen, I can already see breath taking results and how brilliant his work is. Dr. Smith even took the time to check over my nose himself today as my dog had slightly knocked it yesterday. He is thorough, incredibly knowledgeable and a very reputable surgeon. I couldn’t recommend him and his great staff more. Thank you Clinic 805!

14 years ago I had a 10 pound baby that seperated my stomach muscles and left me with terrible stretch marks and dimply loose skin. I chose Dr Ken Smith after a few of my girlfriends had breast augmentation and abdomnioplasty by him. Im not going to lie, as he said. The first few days were not easy. I am currently 7 days post op and had my drains removed today. For the first time I stood in front of a mirror with no binder on and I am blown away by the outcome. Dr Smith was very informative and friendly through the process. He was there when I woke up from surgery and told me it went better than expected and showed me the results. I am looking forward to seeing my body changeover the next year. I would highly recommend Dr Smith and his staff at clinic 805 in Victoria B.C Everyone I met there is very friendly, caring and helpful.

I had my consultation about 6 months ago, but since I am financing the entire amount I had to wait until all of that had been sorted out until I could book my surgery date. Now that it's all set, August 31st is the day! I couldn't be more excited. After talking to my surgeon and the nurse who helped me pick sizes, I decided that going with 375 cc under the muscle saline implants would suit me best. I want a more natural look, and since I'm tall and have broad shoulders we think that they will be the best look for me. I have my pre-op with my doctor on July 20. Updated on 15 Jun 2015: Updated on 26 Aug 2015: So for the past couple months I have been going back and fourth about size! So many reviews I read on here girls say that they wish they had gone bigger. So then the dreaded boob greed set in, and I started thinking that 375cc wouldn't give me the result I wanted and that I would regret not going bigger. So because of this second guessing, I called my PS office and booked another sizing appointment with one of the nurses. My appointment was with the same nurse who did my first sizing appointment which was nice. We looked at my Vectra images from my first appointment and I told her my concerns. She told me that since I do have a wide ribcage that I could carry a larger implant (I already kinda knew this, since I am a tall girl). I think that since I have non-existent boobs right now, 375cc seemed HUGE to me before, and now that I have been looking more and more at girls with similar stats to me who have gotten larger implants I'm thinking that I wouldn't be happy with such a modest result. So, we tried a 375cc implant overfilled to 425cc. The 50cc difference she told me won't make a difference in cup size, but it will just give a bit more of the fullness that I am looking for and will give me a really nice D&F. I'm feeling SO much better about my choice now and now am just trying to keep myself good and healthy until Monday! Updated on 1 Sep 2015: Surgery day went super smooth. I went into the clinic at 12:15 and was in surgery by 2:00. All I remember was the anesthesiologist telling me I was gunna start feeling loopy and then my eyes started rolling around and the next thing I knew I was waking up in recovery. The nursing staff was all incredible and so sweet. After being in recovery for about an hour I was wheeled out to my ride and I was on my way home. I didn't have any nausea which I'm so thankful for. The only discomfort I have is tightness in the chest and my sternum feels a little bruised. The PS gave me Tramacet for pain which I've been taking every 4 hours to stay on top of the pain and I have been icing 20 mins on 20 mins off. They feel numb and engorged right now, kind of like I'm wearing a super padded bra lol. Will update again soon! Updated on 2 Sep 2015: today the pain is definitely worse! My right boob hurts way more than the left. Trying to stay up on the pain meds and can only hope that it gets better from here! Updated on 4 Sep 2015: Hey ladies, Yesterday was brutal. I woke up at 6am with a splitting migraine (I am prone to migraines and take meds for them) and started throwing up. I started panicking because on my post-op care sheet it said to call the PS if you started vomiting, so I did but there was no answer (since it was so early) so I got my mom to take me to the ER. They ran blood tests, changed my dressings, did a chest x-ray, and hooked me up to an IV with Toredol and fluids. My migraine dissipated and all my tests came back great and I was free to go, no sign of infection. My PS called me while I was at the ER and told me to stop taking my Tramacet because it is known to cause migraines in those who are prone to them. I've had headaches pretty much everyday since my BA, and my migraine meds take the edge off but dont get rid of it completely. So now I am just taking 2 extra strength Tylenols every 4 hours and icing as often as possible. I sent photos to one of the nurses at Clinic 805 and she told me everything looks great and that today will be the peak of swelling so I can take my bra off if needed (I do feel like I'm about to bust off of it). These hard days make me question why I even did this in the first place but then I just look at my sad pre-op photos and remember why I wasn't happy before! I can only hope that each day gets easier. Updated on 4 Sep 2015: Updated on 6 Sep 2015: Updated on 8 Sep 2015: Today I had my post op appointment. The nurse showed me how to massage my boobs! They're looking better everyday, I love them so much! Updated on 16 Sep 2015: Hey ladies!! I am finally feeling like these are mine. I am starting to get feeling back in them and massaging definitely helps. My right is definitely tighter than my left and it is tender to the touch. My nurse said that everything is looking great and totally normal. They get squishier everyday, and get a little lower everyday! Yay! I seriously cannot wait to wear a different bra though. Two more weeks of wearing my surgical bra and then I am free!! I wore a little cotton bralette out the other night with some girlfriends and my boobs felt like they were gunna fall out lol! And by the end of the night I just wanted some support. Anyways, I am loving them. Some pain and discomfort still but it gets better everyday. Updated on 23 Nov 2015: I'm so sorry I haven't update my review at all! The last few months have flown by. The boobs are great. They are so soft and bouncy now and really feel like they're my own. I'm back to the gym and feeling strong again. I have my 3 month follow up next week so I will get to see my PS and talk about a couple things that have been bugging me. I have a little irritation under one of my incisions that's been keeping me from wearing the scar tape. I get little hairs around my nipples and I think the tape blocked one of the follicles and so it turned into a little pimple thing. That's really the only concern I have though. Oh, and I have a little part in the bottom part of my right boob that feels a little flat almost. But I am loving them so much, I was meant to have these!

I have wanted a BA ever since I hit puberty! when I went for my first consult the PS said I never developed and have barely any breast tissue. So this is much needed! I am 6 days out and I'm super excited! I have a cold right now so I hope it goes away for my surgery date. I have my heart set on 400cc silicone moderate or moderate plus profile. Today I have to start getting everything ready! eeek! Updated on 15 Apr 2015: During my second consult I tried on Sizers! it was so fun :) and I deffs didn't want to take them off. I tried 375, 400 and 425. The nurse and I both thought 400cc was the obvious choice. I workout 4-5 times a week so I am a bit more muscular then the average girl and the Sizers made me look super proportionate. Here's a pic of me with the 400cc Sizers! their shirt they gave me to try on with them really is throwing me off... Updated on 15 Apr 2015: Updated on 21 Apr 2015: ahhh so excited I could barely sleep lastnight! it's 8:30 AM and I have to be at the clinic for 11:30. The past few days I've been running around getting my house ready, putting everything on bottom shelves and buying the necessities! It took me almost an hour to get my small bra off for the last time lastnight.. maybe even shed a tear but I won't miss them! seeee ya itty bitty [RS bleep] commitee! I'm ready for a change :) I still have my heart set on 400cc moderate plus profile. I just realized I never mentioned my dimensions... I'm 135 pounds but a lot of it is muscle, 5'6 and no kids. I can't tell who's more excited me or my boyfriend! Just to mention that he has been an amazing supporter through this! Anyways, super super excited! I'll keep yall posted! Updated on 22 Apr 2015: I HAVE BOOBS! AND THEY LOOK ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! especially for surgery day I was expecting some serious frankenboob. Ladies take your arnica pellets 2 days before surgery 3x a day. It works to minimize swelling and bruising. Everyone at the clinic was very surprised how I barely swelled. Anyways, everything about my surgery day was amazing. My mom took such great care of me :) and the clinic staff were phenomenal all the way through. I would HIGHLY recommend clinic 805 in Victoria, BC. Dr. Smith is one of the best plastic surgeons I'm BC and does many models! I think that is why I paid so much but it is so worth it to find an excellent PS. He ended up giving me moderate profile! I needed that width and fullness I was missing in my boobs. Pain wise: He gave me tramacet and it's working well. Only needing to take 1 pill every 3 hours or so. I am not waiting until I am in pain to give myself more pain meds. Being in nursing school helps with knowing when to take my drugs! But to top my amazing day off... my boyfriend surprised me by coming home early from camp to be with me! He wasn't supposed to be home for another two days. It was amazing to wake up to his kisses. Absolutely love him :) Anyways! it's 12:30 AM and I should get more sleep! I will post post op day 1 pics today! Ps: I cried in the mirror when I saw my beautiful breasts for the first time.. waited so long to have them! Updated on 22 Apr 2015: So it's post op day one and all I can say is PAIN! ahhh Tramacet does nothing! Tylenol has been doing more but not enough. I've just been in bed all day trying to sleep the day away.. I have no upper body strength. I have to call my boyfriend to help me sit up :( .. you definitely need someone to stay with you during recovery 24/7! I will post some pics of my new girls ... I am happy with them so far! no frankenboob! or square boob! they are the perfect size to my liking :) I do have swelling around my side boob tho... my ribs hurt almost more then my chest at this point. Updated on 23 Apr 2015: Is anyone having like 8/10 or 9/10 pain post op day 1 and 2? this is horrible! I think going for a car ride really aggravated them because now my side boob is on fire. Really hoping things calm down. My pain meds suck!! what are you ladies on? are they helping? Updated on 30 Apr 2015: Well the week of pain and suffering is over! I had my 1 week post op visit and the nurse showed me how to massage my new breasts to get them to start fluffing and dropping. I have already noticed a difference since I started. I do 3 minute massages 3 times a day to each side. I had crazy nerve pain in my right side boob and it was debilitating but since I started massaging the implant off of the nerve I have no pain! it's awesome. One thing I am kind of upset about is my left breast scar.. it's raised and doesn't look good. So I have to go back in a week for them so snip it! ouch! After my post op visit I went shopping for new clothes because she wanted me to get my arms moving and let me tell you it was amazing! shopping for shirts is my new fav thing because my girls look awesome in everything. I'll post some pics! Updated on 1 May 2015: I am so upset :( one of my incisions looks terrible. I'm worried that it'll forever be bumpy, crooked and not nice. My right breast incision is straight and flat like it should be. Agh! For 8 grand and over "3000 BA performed" by my PS you would think we would have prestine incisions. What can cause a bad incision? tight skin? or just dexterity? Updated on 5 May 2015: 2 weeks post op and I'm feeling good! wish they weren't as hard but I'm massaging them lots.. I want them to bounce!! I am happy with the results :) since I have a deformed rib cage which my new boobs kind of hide I had to have my implants farther apart... not too happy about it but once they get squishy I'm moving I can put them together and it'll be voluptuous. Here's some pics! Updated on 20 May 2015: Well the past week hasn't been too fun for my right breast incision! for a month post op this incision had delayed healing and was the incision was starting to separate! I was put on emergent antibiotics and had to go into my PS office right away. Turns out my body doesn't like sutures! the incision had two suture absences so my body was rejecting them. They were taken out yesterday and now I am trying to heal again. Very annoying as I want to workout, have a bath or go to the lake! my other incision is beautiful and can't even see it. The pics are of the suture abscess before I got them removed.. pretty nasty. Updated on 26 May 2015: I can't believe how fast time flies! 5 weeks post op seems not right lol. Anyways! I am loving my new girls :) I couldn't have picked a better size for my figure. I am going to start going back to the gym today!!! ohhhh my am I excited for that. I used to go 3-5x per week... I've definitely put a few pounds on that I would like off. I went bra shopping with my boyfriend yesterday too! La Senza had a wicked sale of every bra in the store either 20-25$! I saved so much money! I splurged and bought myself the basic everyday bras and my hunny bought me 3 sexy ones ;) I am a 34 D or DD! going from a A to DD seems surreal. I uploaded some pics! oh and my suture is FINALLY closing and healing like it should be. Updated on 26 May 2015: Updated on 9 Jun 2015: Absolutely loving my new girls. It is my first summer not being self conscious in a bathing suit! it feels so freeing. I could live in my bikini now ;) Updated on 11 Aug 2015: Time flies! can't believe it's been 112 days since my surgery! I love my results except for my scars are still bothering me.. hoping they fade quicker. I updated with some pics! I have no limitations on mobility or physical activity anymore and they are super bouncy!

Dr. Ken Smith at Clinic 805 in Victoria. Arrogant and careless. Simple refinement to narrow the bridge and slight shortening, nothing to the tip. Was supposed to be a simple and basic surgery. Wrong. Completely botched by careless work and surgeon. I am absolutely beside myself with regret. He cast and set my nose on a skew from left to right, fractured the right side completely unevenly. My nostrils were stitched and taped unevenly. It's mind boggling where his mind was. I got a terrible infection that he barely treated. He's been on vacation and will be the rest of the summer and not checking messages. The whole thing has been a disaster. My nose was very nice before, and this was merely to perfect it. I am furious and have no means to revise it at this point and am just paralyzed with fear. Updated on 30 Dec 2014: It is six months later and Dr Smith has fixed the situation you see below. I regret writing such a negative review because Dr Smith is a brilliant surgeon and he does care about his work. However at the time, two surgeons told me it would be a year until a revision was even possible and as you can see I looked like I had been in a bad accident rather than seen a plastic surgeon for an improved profile. I had to work like this and present to senior staff. Everybody in my department knows something very strange has happened to my face surgery wise. Therefore my initial feelings were angry and reactive because I didn't understand why any of this debacle was even necessary to begin with. Revisions may occur 10% of the time, but should they? I still feel in my case there was lack of attention by Clinic 805, the casting was crooked and the bone likely slipped when the casting was removed. I've had to have my nostrils revised twice. However in retrospect I will take back anything negative or personal I wrote about Dr. Smith. I would prefer the review to be deleted altogether because it doesn't reflect my feelings about him or his staff. Updated on 30 Dec 2014: More photos of work done Updated on 30 Dec 2014: My experience in pics.

First off Hi, i feel like a have been doing non stop research and finally have gotten the huts to write a review before i got for my BA which is november 23rd :) Ive never been large chested which didnt bother me when i was younger but as i started getting older and after kids i am a very deflated nothing like 32 a cup! So sad. I am doing this Ba for me, i feel like it is going to give me back my confidence as a woman i have chosen 375 silicon gel natrelle inspira for a very natural look i can play up on the weekends for date night and play down for week days with the kids! I will try and post as much picture as i feel comfortable with :) Look forward to this yourney Updated on 15 Oct 2015: I have started to purchase things i think i will need/ what my drs office said i should get- Arnica for bruising Polysporin Bio oil for the scars Two differnt size/ types of gause Advil & Tylenol Hydrogen peroxide Two sets of gel ice packs & cotton ovals to clean the surrounding area Still need Stool softener & a very basic soap Any other recommendations that i can add to my list!!! Updated on 16 Oct 2015: I decided i should take some before pictures so once im done surgery i can look back and see how much they have changed! Currently i wear a 34b/c but dont even fill them out so i know i am an A cup but at least if i wear a bigger size i look like i have a little something :$ Updated on 23 Nov 2015: Just a super quick update, this morning was surgery and it was so fast and all happened soo amazingly smooth. I am about 7 hrs post op and my pain level is very low only if I breath in i can feel tenderness. I have amazing support at home :) and everyone at the clinic 805 is absolutely amazing! I had great treatment i peaked at my new additions and i can say i love Dr smiths work!!! Sooo happy Updated on 25 Nov 2015: Today is day 3 and i am feeling great! The first night was really hard to find a confortable spot but day two i figured a better one. Super important! My pain levels are so low im pretty lucky i havent had to take any of the prescribed pain medication and have been only taking advil and tylenol twice a day. I have more tightness in my right side where the larger implant was placed but its barable. Ice packs have honeslty been so amazing. Ill post day 3 pictures Oh and i cant be more excited to shower tomorrow!!! Yay!! Updated on 16 Dec 2015: Here is an update! I am feeling great. There hasnt been huge change in how they look but i am happy with them. They are getting more part of me everyday and i feel great! I still have numbness below my nipples but im sure it will come back eventually! Im dying to go to the gym again! But giving my self time to heal.

I am so shocked that I'm finely at the place where I've had a consultation, put down a deposit, and booked a date! No going back now! Not so long ago I was just reviewing all the other best augmentations on this site. I recently had my consultation on the 8th of October, and it went really well. I loved the staff there and my plastic surgeon. I felt really comfortable. I did feel really bad about having to bring my three year old with us but they were all really understanding! Which made me feel even more comfortable. My daughter had fun too as she got to play with "jellyfish" the whole time. Haha. I have decided after trying on the sizers that i don't want to go under 500cc's as I felt they didn't look like what I wanted so now I'm deciding whether I want 500cc or 550cc. I will be having it done under the muscle so I know you lose cc's so that's why I'm leaning toward 550cc. At the same time though I have this fear that they will be too big though. I don't think they look too big? I just want to get it right the first time and love them! Here is what I'm thinking I'll end up with: 550cc Under the muscle Incision under the breast ( as I've been told if I go over 485cc I can't do it through the nipple) Highly cohesive smooth silicone Not sure about profile? But I think I want High Profile. I forgot to discuss that one with my doctor! Ok so I'm pretty sure I've been bouncing around on the topic here but I just don't know where to begin or end! I'm just so excited! Haha. Updated on 15 Oct 2013: When I look at this pic it is so hard to tell the difference, and I definitely don't want to go smaller. And you lose cc's when you go under the muscle so I think I've made the decision to go with the 550's. I wish I had taken pictures in different shirts so I could get a feel for them more. The white shirt is one they told me to try on because I had a black shirt on and it made them look smaller. The black will definitely help hide them in the beginning, haha, a little. This nagging worry about not getting the perfect size is bugging me. I don't want to go too big and I don't want to go too small. At least I have three months to think about it! Oh and as for my stats I am 5'8", 120lbs, I have a 3 year old daughter. Currently I wear an A cup but I don't fill it out very well. Another one of my concerns has been that I'm 23 and I do want more kids in the future and I do not know how having more kids will effect my new boobies? I'm not planning on having more children soon but I know that at some point I will. Has anyone dealt with that? For now though I want to enjoy the body of my dreams :) and I don't feel like i should wait till I'm done having kids because I can't foresee what's going to happen there for sure. Updated on 17 Oct 2013: This is a picture I took earlier this year. I bought this dress in hopes that I would get the boobs to fill it out! As you can see the fabric doesn't know what to do with the lack of boob! I'm wearing a padded push up bra in this photo and still I don't have much for boobs! It will be nice when I can wear this dress with out a bra! That would be amazing! If I did that now I would pretty much be flat as a board. :( Updated on 22 Sep 2015: So it's been two years since I went through the consultation in Toronto! After a bunch of chaos I'm back in BC and still no boobs! So I'm finally in a place where I can look at purchasing my dream boobies again! Hopefully this all goes as planned because it was really upsetting last time! I'm going in for a consultation at a clinic in Victoria on October 5th! Updated on 6 Oct 2015: So I had my consultation yesterday and it went really well! The staff at Clinic805 were really warm and welcoming. I didn't feel uncomfortable at all! I tried on sizers and did the 3D imaging. I tried on smaller sizers than what I had previously in 2013 and I think they look just as good. I'm liking the look of the 425cc cohesive gel implants. I tried the moderate but I'm contemplating trying the moderate plus to get that fullness. The pictures I had taken were of the 400cc. So I'm just going up a small amount. I've booked my next appointment to meet with my surgeon for the 19th of October. With my BA happening at the end of November. Fingers crossed! I'm just looking into financing options right now and I'm not too concerned about it at this time. I'm actually more stressed about my family! Ive chosen not to tell my parents and even though I'm in my mid 20s now I'm still worried about what they think. But I just remind myself that this is for me and not for anyone else. So I'm both super excited and a little bit nervous. Updated on 14 Oct 2015: So much to do so little time! I'm feeling stressed out due to getting financing finalized and getting supplies etc and trying to keep it secret from my parents. I sometimes feel like I should just tell them and let them deal with it, maybe it would be less stressful? Has anyone else experienced this? Updated on 25 Oct 2015: I've been nervous about posting these pics but I have found looking at other before and after photos so useful that I feel it would be wrong not to! As you can see right next now I have practically nothing! I am 5'8", 127lbs, with my measurements being chest 32", waist 28" and hips 35". I feel like I do not have a very curvy body, and when I look in the mirror at myself I don't feel it reflects what I should really look like. Updated on 3 Nov 2015: I had some bloodworm done yesterday as I am prone to being anemic. Hopefully my iron supplements have been helping. The nurse said it won't be a problem if I am anemic but it is good to know how anemic I may be if at all. I'm slightly freaking out as I can't believe how many days I have left before I go in for surgery! Updated on 17 Nov 2015: Omg I am slightly freaking out! Today at 12:45 pm I'm going in for surgery! I'm both happy and excited and also scared and anxious! It's a big day! There is also a small chance that I may not be able to have it done to do although my surgeon was pretty sure I would be fine. I had the flu on Sunday and then Monday was a recovery day and now today I'm feeling pretty good but I'm so hungry and thirsty after not really eating for the last few days! I'm going to drink orange juice as soon as I'm able to. It sounds so good! I keep almost drinking water because I'm not use to saying no to water!! I think that it's mostly in my mind though and that the more I think of it the more thirsty I get. So I'm going to try to forget about it. Updated on 17 Nov 2015: It was so fast and easy, I can't even quite believe it. I'm in discomfort now but I wouldn't really say pain. It's tight and when I talk I can feel the muscles pulling. I think I may have talked too much this evening as my sister, boyfriend and daughter in the house helping out. But I talked a lot less than what I normally do haha! I've had one pain medication since the surgery. I'm thinking having some pain or discomfort will help me so I don't over do it. It still hasn't sunk I. That I have bigger boobies yet. It's weird! I should probably give a run down as to how the day went. I got to the clinic with my boyfriend just before 12:45pm. When it was time the nurse came out to get us and showed us to a room where we did heart rate, blood pressure, temperature and answered some basic questions. She also gave me a gown, a robe, some fuzzy socks and a bag for my clothes. I was given two extra strength Tylenol, something for a muscle relaxant, and something to help me relax. Yeah I don't remember the names to all the meds haha. After that the nurse left me and my boyfriend alone while we waited for Dr. Smith, and we were told it would be about 30mins, which it was. When Dr. Smith arrived my boyfriend said good bye and left to go get my prescription. I felt calmer at this point as the medications were working. Dr. Smith drew on the guidelines on my chest and answered some of my questions I had, such as if we were doing full submuscular or partial submuscular and then why he chose partial submuscular for me. After that I put on my gown and robe and Dr. Smith left and the anesthesiologist came in next with his own basic easy to answer questions and a run down of what was to happen next. I think the most nerve wracking part was walking into the OR and seeing the operation bed/table which has the arms out. It was like [RS bleep] got real! I laid back on the table with blankets on and arms out, had an IV put in and also used a mask to put me under. It always feels so strange when you pass out to sleep like that, because it feels likes you blink and wake up some where else. Although I woke because I heard people talking near me and that's when I became more alert. But I was still pretty groggy so it was hard to keep my eyes open but I couldn't go back to sleep. Before I knew it my boyfriend was there picking me up and taking me home. So I left the clinic at about 4:30pm and now it's 10pm and I'm still feeling okay. I've been icing and I even got up to walk around the house a bit so that I'm not just laying down for too long. I also too, some pics! I would like to note that it is uncomfortable to stand straight so that's why I am hunched a bit. It just pulls to much on my chest right now Updated on 18 Nov 2015: I didn't mention it yesterday but the staff at clinic 805 were terrific I couldn't have asked for better service. Everyone was very sweet kind and supportive they also were really informative and answered all my questions and made it a really smooth and easy transition . This morning I am feeling very sore on my right breast I'm not sure if I moved that arm around too much yesterday as it's my dominant side and so I'm taking it super easy on my right side today. My left side feels wonderful in comparison to my right . I have been icing pretty much throughout the entire night as soon as I feel that the ice packs are warm I switch them out and I have taken about three or four of my pain medication, my partner has been keeping track of that for me which has been really helpful . Updated on 19 Nov 2015: Updated on 19 Nov 2015: Last night was the most painful night . I switched back to my painkillers instead of the extra strength Tylenol as it just wasn't enough . But I woke up this morning and I felt quite a bit better it's just a pain in my right breast that's a problem . I moved around a bit this morning doing simple tasks and then I managed to sleep in the massage chair for a few hours and then I got up again and moved around . I've had a hard time not hunching or keeping my upper body tense I'm trying to relax more and feel that I'm being overprotective which is actually causing more pain as my muscles are very sore from always being on guard . Tomorrow I should be able to have my first shower and remove the little strips over my incisions I am a little bit scared of doing that though. Updated on 19 Nov 2015: I forgot to mention in my previous post that I have been feeling really bloated so I've started taking some of this Senokot a natural source laxative and hopefully that will help, so far since surgery I haven't had a bowel movement which makes me anxious but I know that is expected after surgery, and pain meds. Updated on 20 Nov 2015: Day three postop! It's finally here, I finally had a shower, I survived the first three days! I had my boyfriend help me shower wash my hair and then he helped change the bandages over my incisions. I didn't look at the incisions when he was cleaning it up for me but he did take pictures so when he was done I looked at the pictures...they kind of freaked me out! I am probably just being a baby . Also in the pictures I felt like my left breast looked larger than my right. I'm sure it's just because my left breast doesn't hurt and it's probably dropping and fluffing faster than my right?? my right is still pretty hard and stiff feeling, it has more discomfort . Updated on 20 Nov 2015: So while laundry is being done and sports bras are being washed Ive decided to wear something different! Fits now that I have boobies! So I'm 3 days post op and I still haven't had a bowel movement!! I've been taking the laxative suggested by my surgeon, but does anyone else have some good types? My belly is definitely bloated! I haven't really been eating much and I'm trying to drink lots of fluids to help. Updated on 21 Nov 2015: So I experienced a small amount of boob greed today, but in reality this is the perfect size for me. I don't think I would have been as comfortable with larger, but bigger boobs would be fun for a bit. In the long run I think I'll enjoy this size more. It's actually quite easy to dress them down but when they settle I can totally show them off ???? haha So I went out and tried on some sports bras, which was fun! I had to have my partner help me get them on though! Haha! I also, finally, had a BM! Well actually a couple and I feel a lot better! And I got my period! So my body apparently had a busy day. I found getting out for a walk this morning really helped me get things to move along. I was so scared I was going to end up awfully bloated! 4 days was long enough. I've been going to my store every day to do basic paper work but today I was my first day to actually work. I felt so good today it was incredible! Day 1 and 2 made me feel like this was going to take forever! But now that day 4 is here I feel so much better, so much more comfortable! I still feel like I need to be careful though, as everything is still tender and tight. I don't want to push my self and then not feel good. I bought two sports bras! And I actually like the way they look! Before I hated wearing sports bras because I was so flat chested it just didn't suit me. I felt awful in them! Now I think I might say I feel sexy! Updated on 22 Nov 2015: Today I felt more sensitive, sore, and tight. Maybe it has to do with my period, or the fact I was coughing a bit last night, which is hell! Also I could help laughing this morning because I accidently dunked my cat into a cup of water with out knowing I was doing that. But laughing is also quite painful/uncomfortable. Anyways, I'm taking pain mess today to deal with it. I was also thinking it may just be nerves re knitting together? It's mostly on my right side and its on the suture area. Oh and today both incision sites are itchy due to healing I believe. I've had three showers since being allowed to shower again and changing the bandages each time. The incisions are clean, even though they are bruised and still have a mesh strip on them. Tomorrow I will be getting a hold of the clinic to see if I can take those off since they are starting to. I also want to find out the date for my next appointment!! For follow up. Updated on 27 Nov 2015: Updated on 29 Nov 2015: Everything has been healing up great! Yesterday I noticed that I started feeling a little stabbing pain in my right breast, below my armpit almost next to the incision area. I'm not sure if it's just nerves reconnecting or over massaging or lifting? I'm fine when I wake up first thing in the morning but after standing for a while it begins to feel uncomfortable, just on the one side. It's probably nothing though! I am pretty happy so far with how my boobs look now! My left one is healing great, my right one is a little behind lol
