Just a quick recommendation
BUY A WEDGE PILLOW (unless you have a recliner maybe). It is very difficult to sit up on your own the day of and after surgery, today was easier but I am still SO thankful that I got the wedge pillow. You can get them for around $30 - $60 on Amazon and they are worth every penny for your comfort and ability to sit up. I still had some manual help sitting up and leaning back by my best friend who has been there for me through this whole thing but I swear the wedge has been a life saver! I think laying/sleeping flat would have been and still would be very uncomfortable. An incline is by far the most comfy position to be in.
1 day PO
Just had my first check up and doctor says everything looks great! I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Kessler, he has been so informative, thorough, caring, and attentive throughout the entire process so far and its really made me feel so comfortable and trusting with him. If you are in the southern California region I would HIGHLY recommend him!
As far as recovery goes, my nipple sensation has been a bit weird, I can feel pressure just fine but they feel a bit numb to the touch. I woke up this morning with a decent amount of pain and tightness but I'm figuring out how to manage it with the pain meds and muscle relaxers. Dr. Kessler gave me another bra with a wider band and that helped immensely! Im normally a 32 but with the swelling a 34 feels MUCH better.
It was hard to understand why women on this site loved their breasts so much right after surgery when they look so crazy, but I totally get it now lol I am already so in love with them and feeling confident that they will heal beautifully :)

New boobies!
I am home recovering and my doctor said everything went great! :) The pain is not too crazy or unmanageable but the tightness when I woke up was pretty significant. He said I have pretty strong and defined pec muscles so they will be very tight. I took a muscle relaxer as soon as I got home to help!
We went with Natrelle Soft Touch 310cc moderate dual plane with an inframammary incision. I'm honestly surprised by the lack of swelling at the upper pole so far, but we'll see what happens over the next day or 2.
Overall, everything was pretty smooth and I cant wait to see how they heal! Although I'm a little nervous to see how they look right now, I'll post some pics without the bra as soon as I'm feeling a bit better tonight or tomorrow :)
