Day 7 Post-Op
jonwik123July 4, 2023
WORTH IT$11,820
After a week of post-op, I went back to the clinic for my firsr checkup. A nurse helped to remove the dressings and replaced them with reusable scar tape. The scar tape is used to ensure proper healing and prevent keloid (thick and raised) scars. Dr Tan also looked over my breasts and took a photo. My boobs were recovering nicely and the scars were not infected. I was told that for the next week, I'd feel aching round my breasts as nerve endings recover and rejoin.
The nurse told me I could stop wearing the Motiva bra but had to switch to wearing wired bras with no padding. I bought one from the clinic for $28 and bought a 3-pack from Marks & Spencer for $50.
I went to VS again and tried on more lingerie :)
From this point on, I will update when there are any interesting things to note or when I go for my checkups.
Let me know what you think!

Day 6 Post-Op
jonwik123July 4, 2023
Days 4 and 5 Post-Op were pretty much similar but I could see that my boobs were starting to be less swollen in the upper area and the implants dropped a little. More sensation was returning for my left breast but the numbness of the skin on my chest remained. Because my implants are rather big (400cc), they would take longer to fluff up. I was told that it might take 4 month for them to look and feel natural.
On Day 5 Post-Op, I felt extra and went to VS and La Senza to get an approximate sizing and try on lingerie. My boobs were still stiff and swollen but they looked so good! My size before BA was 32A or 32B and now they were 34C based on both stores.
My appetite returned to normal, but I had to continue avoiding seafood (except fish). I ate more protein to help replenish tissues.
I posted a collage of the breasts over 6 days of post-operation. Can you see any difference?

Day 3 Post-Op
jonwik123July 4, 2023
I woke up with less pain in my upper chest and more on the scars. My left side felt less swollen and it was expected because I'm left-handed and so I guess my left side is more used to wear and tear. There was some aching around my back and shoulder blades, and there was a bruise in the gap between my breasts. I also felt bloated. But overall, much better than Day 2 Post-Op.
I felt flexible enough to shower and had water and some soap running over my boobs. I did my regular arm stretches - 1) lifted arms over head and 2) put my arms behind my back and moved them up and down. I'm not sure if I did too much but my right scar hurt a lot and I thought that I tore open the stitches. I messaged the clinic and they reassured me that I was fine.
I took the painkiller every 8 hours. The clinic gave a week's worth so that was great. Because of the throbbing pain in my right scar and the uncomfortable sitting-sleeping position, I couldn't sleep well and took a sleeping pill. It wasn't a good idea as I woke up groggy in the morning after. I took melatonin instead for the rest of my sleepless nights.

As for getting up, honestly for the first few days it was a painful struggle lol. My doctor recommended folding your legs towards your chest then hold your legs and swing up. But it didn't work too well for me (couldn't swing up) so I just planted my legs on the ground first, prayed to all the gods then raised up my upper body using my hands on the bed for some support. There was definitely pain so I had to psych myself up every time I wanted to get up from the lying position haha. In the end I just stuck to sleeping in a sitting position despite it being uncomfortable (took melatonin so I would fall asleep faster). As the pain lessened I went back to sleeping in a lying down position.
All the best for your recovery!
