It's post-op day 3. I'm feeling a lot better than yesterday and even ventured outside to find a front clasp bra to wear to work on Tuesday- but to no avail... It's a little hard to breathe at times but I've been working through it. I've uploaded another picture which shows my breasts have dropped significantly since yesterday.
So now that I'm not so drugged up I have some more...
So now that I'm not so drugged up I have some more information and pictures to share.
It turns out my surgeon used moderate plus profile and 339cc Natrelle gel style 15 in both my left and right breasts. I just had my post-op appointment and all of the bandages have been removed.
The doctor said everything looks good and he gave me a stabilizing strap to wear under my surgical bra but I really hate this bra. He said I could switch it out at any time with another bra as long as there's no under wire and it provides support.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a good bra. I really don't like how I cant wear any shirt without someone seeing I'm wearing a huge white bra underneath.
Do these pictures look okay? This is only my second day post op but they look a little asymmetrical to me but maybe one is dropping more than the other.
I have some bruises as well on my neck for some reason and really large blood red bags under my eyes... dr said it was nothing to worry about.
My pain level isn't too bad but worse than yesterday. I'm just very sleepy all the time.

My surgery went well this morning. I get motion sickness easily and was feeling nauseous after the cab ride to the surgical center. I received a motion sickness patch behind my ear and then some motion sickness medication through my IV (this is also supposed to help with post-op nausea). The surgery lasted a little over one and a half hours (I think he went 15 minutes over). Since I only paid the ambulatory care center for one and a half hours I think I may end up being charged additional fees but I won't know until I get a bill in the mail. The people at the surgical center could not tell me yet if I owe anything... So I'm a little worried about that.
I was told my surgeon spoke to me right after the surgery in the recovery room but I don't remember anything. He also spoke to my boyfriend and said I have 339 CCs on both sides but he didn't go into detail. I guess I will find out more information tomorrow at my post-op appointment.
When I woke up in recovery I was very thirsty regardless that I though I was well hydrated and on a low sodium diet for about a week. Some of it had to do with have a breathing tube placed (I didn't know that was going to happen...). I felt super light headed and nauseous before the cab ride back home but the nurses where so nice trying to help me (they gave me an ice pack for the back of my neck, tried to have me smell alcohol wipes to get over sick feeling, and gave me crackers, soda and ginger ale). Also my heart rate was high (120 bpm) but it always is even at my medical clearance before the surgery.
I've been sleeping a lot and have been using my Vicodin. I feel so sleepy. I'm surprised how often you use your chest muscles in day to day life. It feels like a challenge to get in and out of bed. My surgical bra/bandages are very itchy too. I will update more tomorrow.. maybe even pictures. Thanks for the support everyone!
