Only 1 week and 2 days post op but I do love them!
Dr. Richards team was incredible. First off, my best friend and I roadtripped multiple states over 2000 miles total to have this. Originally their team was very booked out but they were so fantastic and generous that they stayed a little later after the surgeries to fit me in several months sooner than expected!! I was thrilled and grateful for that alone. Pre-op packet was thorough and easy to understand. Payment was simple and straight forward. When I arrived for my surgery they were so sweet, complimenting me and hyping me up and easing my nerves. Then Dr. Richards marked me and explained what the plan was, didn't urge any decision on my part but let me make the decisions myself after giving me several options. In the end I asked that he use his judgment to decide whether 520cc in both would look good or if we would have to do two different sizes. The operation room was very bright and made me slightly nervous but I was pretty ready to get this done lol. After surgery Dr. Richards showed me what they looked like on the table because currently I had ace bandage on them. He said they looked great and were both 520cc. I stayed at an airbnb for 3-4 days before my bestfriend drove multiple days the way home. I slept upright the entire time and still do so far. The first several days I couldn't do anything myself at all, not even pull up my pants after peeing. So we got some button up long pajama dresses to make it easy. Bestfriend had to shower me as well. The medicine though.... was great for the pain, maintained a range of 2-7/10 depending on the day. 5-7 being first thing in the morning. 2-3 being after pain meds. Never been above 7, which is manageable. When I got home, I had a lot of trouble passing bowel movements due to the medication. Even using stool softener it was awful. The worst part of the whole experience. Having a bidet saved me, so I'd suggest an enema to anyone else. Drink tons of water and stop the opioids asap. I'm currently using advil most of the time and sometimes advil/tylenol. I really miss sleeping on my side but oh well! Back sleeping is better for your posture anyway. I'm able to lift my arms up a tiny bit more everyday. I'm not forcing any movement at all and being very careful, listening to my body. But I still can't do a lot like open my fridge or pull heavy blankets up to my arms in bed. Needing a lot of help husband/bestfriend. Eating nutritious foods from amazon fresh is really helpful at this point. I also took 6+ weeks off work as a massage therapist/personal trainer so I'm pretty bored. I lay in bed a lot and watch anime, taking breaks to walk around plenty. I keep my incision area very clean and dry. Switch out between lots of clean bras and button ups, wipe with aloe antibacterial hand wipes. I also use cereve lotion but not on the incision site. And bio oil because I started seeing tiny little itsy bitsy signs of stretch marks only on the top of my sternum, think like decollete area. Avoiding anything below that until the 2 wk point. Also doing daily massages and using a compression band because mine are pretty high and funky. So far so good!

2 weeks - wondering about swelling/areolas
So far so good. The only thing I've been wondering about is when the swelling will subside and if/when my areola puffiness will as well. I really hate the way my areolas are bulgey looking right now and hope that goes down with the swelling.
Besides that, I'm massaging daily and using compression daily. Bio oil on occasion. My right side (right hand dominant) is a little bit tighter/higher than my left which I presume is pretty normal. Incision site seems to be doing well. Implants aren't as boxy on my chest as immediately post surgery. Looking forward to more progress.

Hi! I didn’t see these pics yesterday. Ok so swelling will take a while to go down but like you mentioned they have dropped some, so that is a great sign. The boxy look will keep fading. My nipples have remained the same from before surgery, other than more sensitivity. My nipples did not swell up, so far. I’m at 4 wks this Thursday. But my doctor let me know swelling can take up to 3 months. Hope this helps.

Scar update
Looking really good, not noticeable at all when standing upright. Just tried to detangle my hair in the shower but I couldn't reach the back of my head. Just the sides and ends. Going to have my bff brush and braid my hair. Didn't realize personal hygiene would be so difficult to keep up with! But having good support makes it a lot more manageable.
