Pain is barely there. If anything it’s just pressure, tightness, and the obvious/swelling and bruising.
I’ve had two post-op visits so far, one was the very next day after surgery, and the second more recent one was on Day 5. PS wants to see me again in two weeks from then. I haven’t received any input on massaging my breasts or anything related to the incisions yet (there are steri-strips on them and its an inframammary incision.) But everything honestly looks good so far. I had just heard and watched so many breast aug experiences here and on YouTube and I always see girls massaging their breasts and/or putting stuff on the incisions to help with infections & scarring. I guess I’m just not sure if that’s something that women can choose to do on their own or if it’s something that doesn’t apply to me because my PS didn’t tell me to start doing any of that at Day 5 and I’m not seeing him again until June 10.
Either way I’m in love! I just don’t wanna do anything wrong and screw them up!

I guess it depends on our PS huh?! We had ours on the same day 5/22. I also had 2 post op visits, 5/26 & 5/29 and during that 1wk follow up they snipped the edges of my sutures and taught me to do the 20 seconds each side massage (up, down, left & right) or more like pushing the girls. They even told me that I can skip the bra whenever I want, huh?!

That's crazy! I wonder if I should be doing so but that it's just implied and he didn't think to tell me?! Do/did you have the steri strips on ur incisions as well?

You're right we like how they are so we don't wanna mess them up... which is why I keep on telling my husband not to be lazy if he wants D-twins to look nicer and feel softer! ;) D1 & D2 needs more tlc!:)

Also had my surgery on the 22nd. I only saw mine for a visit 4 days p/o then I have a follow up on June 10th. I was instructed to wear the bra for two weeks so I plan on letting them breathe next weekend lol. I was also told to leave the dressings on my incisions (just tegaderm) until my next post op visit. My stitches are dissolvable. I have read mixed reviews about massaging within the first two weeks as it can cause bleeding. But to each is their own, mine didn’t instruct me to massage.

Update they said not to massage and to leave the steri strips alone - only trim the edges if need be. They were very responsive and answered my email thoroughly within a few hours!

Hi! You commented on my post too! Yours are settling so good!! I just was told to start my massages at 2 weeks, I am supposed to wear a buckle in the front sports bra for 3 months, & I have to wear this white strap on my chest to help my boobs shape for until told to stop. I need to send pictures every week, & that's how they will know when to tell me to stop wearing my strap. The strap is very uncomfortable lol. HAPPY HEALING ! :)

Pain is not bad at all! The pain pump came out on day 3 and I didn’t realize how effective that was but by that time I was on a med schedule I was comfortable and it wasn’t bad after the pain pump came out. I was cleared to shower once the pump came out which was AWESOME. It felt incredible, and I didn’t need assistance which felt nice. Damn I didn’t realize how much of an emotional roller coaster general anesthesia is! The only feelings I’m really having today is extreme tightness, swelling, bloating, and a little numbness. And obviously light pain. My boobs feel very foreign to me right now lol, and I mean the whole boob, skin/nipple and all, which is weird... hahaha
Other than that, so far my PS is an artist! These boobies are only 5 days old and they already look beautiful to me. Can’t imagine what they’ll look/feel like when they d&f. Very feminine and sensual feeling besides the bruising. Hope the implant size difference helps correct my prior asymmetry.
