Hello and good afternoon everyone. Tomorrow I am 2 weeks post breast augmentation! Yay! I was a 32A, went with 371 moderate plus silicone implants under the muscle, and through the nipple.. As of now I have been off pain meds for a week and a half, swelling is down, I can drive just fine, and I am no longer in pain. I carefully feed the horses already, but when am I able to resume light riding(no competitions). Thank you so much in advance. I look forward to your responses!
