It has been over two weeks now, so I wanted to update. My recovery has been amazing, for the most part. I had minimal pain by post op day 4, my right breast has been the most painful, it was my smallest, and the one he put the most cc's in so it makes sense why. Both breast have dropped and are even by one week check up, my right side was still very hard. My right side is now softer, very equal to the left side.

Now for the ugly news that I did NOT expect..... I ended up with a yeast infection ON MY INCISIONS. Thursday at my 1 week post OP appt I had white pimple like spots on my breast, I started putting some mucipron ointment on them and they clearee up, the doctor said it was pretty common with the compression bra. On Sunday of this week my Steri strips came off my right side (left had already came off the week before) Monday I noticed extreme itching on my incisions, I expected some itching with healing but this was pretty bad. By Tuesday they were very inflammed and had a rash around them. Having kids with yeast infections, and working in the medical field before I pretty much knew what it was. I spoke to the nurse, she instructed me to wash the incisions 3x a day with regular dial soap, called me in a pill for yeast, and I have been putting Nystatin on them multiple times a day. It's day 5 and they feel a lot better today. I am very sensitive to some antibiotics, it is not abnormal for me to get a vaginal yeast infection when taking some antibiotics. I am sure with the compression bra, it being warm, and all the moisture, it just set me up for failure. I have attached pictures of what the yeast rash looked like in case anyone else runs into this.

I am absolutely in love with my new boobies. They already look and feel so good! I really couldn't be happier.

Day 3 came with A LOT of swelling. My bra was super tight, and I did have to take it off for a bit.

Most swelling has subsided by day 4, I have minimal discomfort. I have taken ibprofen twice for the past two days and it has been more than enough. My right breast was bigger than the left one post OP day one, but now they are both pretty even. They are still high and hard, but I am very happy with them. My incisions are starting to cause some discomfort due to my bra band rubbing on them. Today my boyfriend looked at them and actually didn't look scared. Lol. I am very shocked at how easy recovery has been. I have taken two percs the whole time and the rest has just been ibprofen. I cannot wait to see the end result.

I woke up this morning a felt A LOT better than I did yesterday. The intense pain I was feeling in my right side has turned into minimal pain. I returned to work today and was able to survive on one muscle relaxer at 7AM and 800MG of ibprofen every 4 hours. The pain pills make me extremely itchy, so if I can avoid taking them I will.

The place where the most pain is today is my upper back. My arms and boobs don't hurt much at all, but I am really tired.

I took my bra off last night and tonight, I think they are going to look great once they drop and fluff. I can't wait!
