37 Yr Old W/13 BWD 300cc Mentor Memory Gel Classic Profile, Under the Muscle.

Has anyone ever had an allergic reaction to any of the meds or anything related to their surgery?? I broke out in hives 9 days after my procedure. Since it’s been that long and I haven’t used any meds in over a week, I didn’t think it had anything to do with the surgery, but the urgent care doctor said it very well could’ve been a response to a medication. I don’t have any known allergies and I’ve never had hives before. Just curious if this has happened to anyone else? But other than that, I’m still waiting for my right side to drop and fluff. The muscle on that side is still pretty swollen too. My surgeon has me wearing a strap, but it causes a good amount of pain around the incision when I wear it, so I don’t wear it too often. I was feeling a little down thinking it wasn’t going to work out again, but each day that goes by they feel and look a little better which makes me feel better emotionally. I think the tightness of my chest and that they didn’t drop and fluff right away scared me. But I imagine after several surgeries, there’s gonna me more scar tissue and a longer healing time. So I have to be patient. I also had to take a covid test and then quarantine almost 2 weeks before my surgery date (wanted to make sure the results were back in time) so I haven’t been able to do much socially for awhile now and I think that has messed with my psyche a bit too...and now I have a bad case of hives so I still can’t do much!

Dr. Conway and his staff are so kind and helpful. After going back and forth, they all were totally patient with me and all my concerns! Dr. Conway is honest and didn’t just say what I wanted to hear. Dr. Conway, his nurses and the entire surgical team treated me so well and talked to me as if they had known me forever! They all provided a great comfort zone for me! I highly recommend!!

It was hard to sleep. However, I felt way better sleeping upright. It’s harder to get up the more reclined you are. And a tip I have is use your thighs and core when trying to get up or scoot forward. It’s less pressure on chest. I’m a bit more sore today, if it’s not unbearable. I’ve only taken 3 oxycodone (Percocet) to reduce pain and 2 flexeril for muscle spasms in a 24 hour period. Today is definitely a bit more pain, but nothing unbearable. It could’ve been how I was sleeping, but I have a lot of tension in my upper back and shoulders. The girls are looking a little silly, but I feel very hopeful in their outcome! I can’t wait for them to drop and fluff :D
