450cc HP Mentor xtra MemoryGel

I just had my breast augmentation today! I feel good. When I got to the surgery center everyone was so nice. I went into a room with the most amazing staff ever. One nurse checked my blood pressure and another nurse put the IV in my arm. They asked questions about infections, teeth, medical history, etc. They were so graceful and nice! Like THE BEST! My PS, Dr. DiFrancesco, checked in with me to confirm that we were doing 450CC Mentor Xtra Memory Gel in HIGH PROFILE.
The nurses were comforting and congratulating me on my BA. I change into the gown and socks they provided. They let you keep your pants (if no metals) and undies. The anesthesiologist came in and let me know the process. Basically, they attach patches on your shoulders and then they attach the drug for the anesthesia (I can't remember what it's called). About ten minutes later, they bring me into the room to begin my surgery. I lay down with my arms spread out like a T. It's super cold and then they put about like 8 warm blankets on top of me. The anesthesiologist then says he's putting the liquids into the IV and literally like 5 seconds, out cold. I wake up which feels like maybe ten minutes. Super drowsy and tired. I heard them say I've been asleep for an hour. They wake me up and help me put on my pants.
The pain was probably at an 8 from a scale of 1-10. They fed me ginger ale and goldfish. It was great because you're not allowed to eat after 12 AM and my appointment was at 10 AM the next day. My boyfriend came and got and the nurses helped me with my things. I just want to say it was such a great experience. I had gone to about 6 different places in Atlanta and something just threw me off, but when I went to DiFrancesco Plastic Surgery... The staff was so amazing. I had the consultation and met with Catherine and a nurse whom I wish I remembered her name. She was sooooo nice. 
The service was amazing. Dr. DiFrancesco gave me sizers and measured me up. We spoke about the sizes and such. I was super pleased and called them the next week to book this appointment. Right now I feel great. I'm not sore. I haven't had to take any pain meds for about 8 hours now. I'm sure that will change tomorrow or overnight. My results from what I saw looked really good. I'm so excited about the healing process. I am so happy. I'll keep everyone updated on this process too.

Okay so the day after surgery was pretty bad. Woke up in the middle of the night and was hurting all over my chest so I took a Tramadol and passed out.
Yesterday, was day 2 and it was okay. I was resting most of the time. The only thing that bothers me are my stitches. Depending on how I move my body it irritates it. I ate some spicy food, not anything crazy, just in case lol.
Today, Aug 15th, I’m just feeling really tight around my chest and sides. There’s still a lot of pressure so it’s hard to laugh and cough.
Without my surgical bra, they are kind of large. Which is what I wanted, but I just want to make sure I am doing all that I can to heal properly. I haven’t tested my limits on anything other than getting off the bed and getting up without help. I showered yesterday and that was good. It was strange because I have boobs and before my boobs were invisible lol. I also like that my boobs aren’t sitting super high since I had some elasticity with my skin after having a kid. Right now they’re just like torpedo looking and very firm. Lol they look weird. I’m just trying to be super positive and patient because it’s only been day 3 and I don’t want to scare myself. I’m happy with my results based on the other results of post op reviews. I don’t feel like there’s anything abnormal yet since it’s so early still. My post op appointment is in a couple of days and I can ask whatever I want with my doctor and she can check my healing. I will also be going back to work that day too.

I think that I got days mixed up but I’ve been recovering.
Today Sunday... I woke up feeling SOOOO good. I’ve been taking the Arnica for recovery and other meds. The only one I haven’t taken is the Tramadol and the one that says it’s for inflammation and pain but take as needed. I haven’t had ANY pain.. I’m still swollen all over but my chest feels a lot lighter. My armpit area is still a bit swollen but compared to the other day and right after surgery, it’s calmed down.
I was really worried about that too. My right boob and under the armpit was feeling really swollen and tight when I put my arms to the side and I was sort of concerned. Of course reading reviews about stuff and finally I just chilled out and convinced myself that it was okay. Lol. I’m early in the process so I need to be super patient.
Anyway, I’m feeling really good right now. I was able to move around everywhere. Still careful and not over doing anything. My nipples were SUPER BIG and stretched on day 1 and 2. Now on day 4 they look pretty normal. Still numb tho. It is crazy how different they feel from day one. They are still tight but some parts are kinda soft, so that’s making me more patient and motivated. My post op appointment is Tuesday and that’ll pretty much be my one week.. also I’ll be going back to work, but I let my work know about my restrictions. I’m just really looking forward to this recovery.
