Hi I live in Abu Dhabi and I had my breasts done only two days ago . So far I have not seen the final result but had a really good experience with Dr Reuter and his fantastic team at the Harley Street Medical Clinic in Abu Dhabi, UAE. He is a German doctor and his anesthesia doctor is from L.A. with German descent. The most encouraging part was when you come out of surgery and everybody seems to be really excited about your boobs;). I stayed the first night in the hospital because it was an option and it was a very wise choice . It gave me time for myself and also access to better pain relief through an IV. Also peace of mind in case something would've gone wrong . Today is day two and I can still feel a lot of pressure and pain and massive tightness on the side of my breasts but otherwise I feel good . It is not really that fast recovery that I was hoping for as they advertise in the U.S. but I do think that I will feel better very soon and that the surgeon did a fantastic job. Today is Thursday and already on Sunday I will have all the tapes come off and will only have to wear a sports bra. Will post an update for sure...

Hi today is day and I felt pretty ok in the morning but still can't get myself to stop the ibuprofen since it feels uncomfortable if I do. I had some bruising left and right on the sides of my body which was painful under the bras and have started applying Voltaren instead of Arnica spray which tight away helped with the swelling and bruising a bit! Did 45 min of cardio on a recumbent bike and some leg exercises and some easy arm lifts for shoulders s d biceps only so proud of myself. Unfortunately around lunchtime I got so tired that I slept but it was a really stressful sleep and woke unfeeling worse. Now I have a constant feeling as if I have a temperature but thermometer says all is ok (36.8C). I hope tomorrow will be better. Here some updates for day8.

Hi today is day 14 I feel pretty good and I have not been taking any ibuprofen for a day now only Panadol which at the moment is pretty okay. My breasts are still feeling very tight and look like bullets ;) but otherwise seem to be healing well. I only feel the tightness really a lot in the morning and sometimes during the day which reminds me to take another Panadol which kind of takes away that feeling of tightness, as well. I still have some tenderness and bruising on the side of my rib cage but I am using Voltaren daily and that seems to help. My husband has decided he does not want to see the girls until it is the final result ;) so it's going to be a long stretch haha. What I really liked is that they've given me a silicon scar cream which seems to work really well and covers and protects the scar every day. I don't have any itching or pain around the scars. Just really hope that the implants drop pretty fast and that I can get back to normal activity. As I posted in my reply to one of you guys, I started working out easily on the recumbent bike for about 30 min cycling and also done some core and lower body workouts which has been really good and makes me feel a lot better. Also some easy slow mobility and gently stretching exercises so I am not as hunched over as I felt in the beginning. What at the moment still feels really weird is when I am I the car, the seatbelt bugs me and for some reason I can really feel the implants in that position. Anyone else has some experiences here?
