Ok, so I lied about going to work sooner . I will stick to Friday's return . I'm not in " pain " just uncomfortable & often feel pressure / a heavy feeling on my chest . Sleeping has been a process . I can't get comfortable in any position other than slightly propped and on my back . I want to sleep on my side so badly ( any tips for a more comfortable sleep would be appreciated ) . overall the pain is a 3-4 out of 10. The mild pain medicine isnt AS strong but helps with the discomfort . I'm very happy with the procedure , the doctor & the look. Today I plan to get out the house for just a bit & go bra shopping ( no underwire , light padding ) and get a feel for my new bra size ( I won't be wearing this until the 15th day) !

I took one last pic this morning (the left side seems to be rounding / dropping a little quicker ) but both still very swollen .

I hope these posts have helped someone & I'm open to answering any questions ! :)

My surgery was Friday morning . It's Tuesday morning . Yesterday I had my first post op appointment . The doctor said I was healing beautifully and the nurse said I looked great for it to only have been Monday. I did not experience any bruising at all and my incision is very small . The nurse changed the incision tape to this smaller strip and told me to start changing it myself every 3 days . As of last night I no longer plan on taking any more prescribed pain meds . I am only taking the antibiotic and keeping some tylonal extra strength around just in case . I am not experiencing any pain at day 4/5. Just a bit of heaviness When I go outside & slight discomfort from taking the wrapped band off ( Dr. Colgrove told me to remove it ) . I think I'm recovering very quickly . I am off until Friday but may consider going back to work Thursday . So far so good :)
