2 Months Post Op - Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

I was a 36g/gg (uk) and was getting more and more irritated with lugging them around. Finding clothes to fit was a nightmare, I had constant pains in my shoulders and HATED having my photo taken - somtimes my boobs looked bigger than my head! I was also sick of people making little "jokes" about the size of my breasts - people meant no harm or malice, but i ws sick of being identified by having big knockers.
I moved out to Abu Dhabi this summer and decided to take the plunge once and for all. Finally had the op on the 18th December - my mum flew out from England to look after me.
the op: I am a bit of a baby when itcomes to medical stuff. Getting the IV was oe of the worst things! I do remember coming round after op and thanking everyone in the room for "all the lovely wine".....and then swearing and saying " what the **** am I going on about " nd tghen laughing. Mortified!!! Stayed overnight in hospital, and then came home the next day. was tired, but surprisingly pain free.
2 weeks post op: Feeling very "stingy" - my nipples are sensitive, I am always itchy and I have a pain in my right breast. Hopefully that is all signs of healing....hopefully??! I still have the steri strips and will be seeing the surgeon on saturday 5th for second post op appointment. At first post op (five days after surgery) she seemed pleased with how I was getting on. Just feels odd that the pain is developing now rather than earlier....any thoughts guys?? Normal>!!?? Other than that, i am doing ok. Just seem to tire easily.
Will update soon!

I saw a few surgeons out here in Abu Dhabi and she was the one I felt most comfortable with. She is straight forward and upfront and answered all of my questions. I am a fairly anxious and overly cautious person, and my one (tiny!) gripe would be that i felt she could have offered more information re post op care, rather than me having to ask all the questions. But other than that, highly recommended.

Wow, your "after" breasts look like they're already 4 months in to healing based on the shape. Normally they're very boxy fresh out of surgery. Very nice!

So tomorrow I go back to surgeon for a follow up....am nervous! I am hoping my steri strips will come off and everything will be tickety boo, but at the same time feel like the steri strips are "keeping them together"!. Tomorrow Iwill be 17 days post op. the itching comes and goes, but sometimes it feels relentless! The pain is still there, but just localised really. Incisions sting and nipples sting too!! Bought myself 3 genie bras and they are so much more comfortable...I bought them in a dress size 18 (uk) and I was wearing a dress size 16 on top before I had boobs done.... I would be happy if I could fit into a dress size 14 now, but the 18 br is comfortable! Will update tomorrow and let you all know what happens. xx

well today I went to see the surgeon. She removed all the steri strips, picked off a few scabs, cleaned me up and sent me on my way. She said she was happy with how I was healing and no problems. However, when I came home i had a look and had a cry! It all looks so neat and tidy with the strips on - now there is bleeding and I have notice a lot of puckering and my nipples look misshapen. The anchor scars look puffed and pulled. I quickly redid my bra and had a boo hoo. Am not feeling so positive today..... :-( Cant bear to look again....god knows how I will shower tomorrow and apply the antibacterial gel she has given me.... the thought of toching those wounds makes me feel sick. Will post a photo on a few days when I have calmed down!!

Just keep thinking positive. Its only a few minutes a day you have to look at them. Then put on some old shirts or new shirts afterwards and see the difference!

Take it from me,what happened is sooooo normal! I didnt even want to look when the dr took mine off and said i should take a look at my new breasts. My friend had to take my bra off for me and put it back on for a week when i took a bath and i almost fainted the first 2 weeks when i had to clean the incisions. Every time! And i am a girl who can look at pictures of a decomposing corpse with no problem( I studied Criminology). Dont worry! It will pass. I examined every mm of my breasts 20 times a day after the stitches came out at 10 days. Is that redder than an hour before? Is that wound opening? Is that leakage and infection?? I drove myself insane. Then i decided to listen to my dr who said everything was fine and normal and i just relaxed and let go. I am at 6 wks post op now and i STILL hve scabs where my drains were. My T zones were open until 4 weeks, the scabs only fell off last week. Once again: what you are feeling is perfectly normal. But you need to just let your body do its healing and be patient. Make sure you get enough Vit C,dont overdo things physically,get plenty of rest and let go. Your pics look beautiful,btw. The dr did an amazing job. I recently had a look at my friends breasts a year after her surgery and the scars are so thin and white,you dont even see them the puckering and redness are just part of healing. Take care and i know when you look back in a few weeks time,you will also think its the best thing you have ever done!
