34B, 375cc/400cc silicone HP, 5’8”, no kids

I went in for my post op appt today with Kim, his PA. It was a minute long pretty much. She took a quick look and squeezed them and said they look really good for them being 5 days post and she gave me more massages to do. She took off the tape which felt so good and told me I can start putting silicone based scar gel on the incisions. She also told me the incisions are internal and will feel like ropes until my body absorbs the sutures. I go back next week and I will know then when I’m allowed to start wearing a wireless bra. She said mine are settling fast (mariotti told me this in my pre op that because I had bottom heavy breasts, mine may drop faster than most people) and that I will start wearing a bra soon. Not sure if that’s a good or bad thing since I still want upper fullness and cleavage without having to wear a bra.

So far so good! I’m off all painkillers and the massages aren’t as uncomfortable to do anymore. I go in tomorrow for my post op appt and to get the tape removed from my incisions. It’s been so itchy. I’ve put a little bio oil on them (avoiding the incisions) to prevent stretch marks. They still feel stiff but I can already tell that they’re softening. Nipples are still puffy and I’ve noticed my ribs hurt more than anything else.

The surgery went very well. We went with 375cc HP in my left and then 400cc HP in my right to even them out. He said everyone in the room agreed that it looked best. I woke up feeling okay, very cold, but not in a lot of pain. Just uncomfortable. Yesterday (2nd day post op) was the worst pain and when I decided to take the Norco. Now I’m back to taking Tylenol and just dealing with the tightness again. I’ve been doing my massages and arm stretches to help with recovery. So far so good. Can’t wait for them to drop and come into a better shape.
