Breast Augmentation: implants vs fat grafting

So today is week 3 after my surgery and let me tell you that I did not think this was going to be that difficult of a recovery. When I saw my doctor a week post op he asked me if I had worked out my chest because my muscles were tight so recovery maybe slower. I actually had tried to work on my upper body muscle like 2-3 months before but I didn't think it was a big difference.
First of all you NEED someone there with you. I am so blessed that my boyfriend is an entrepreneur and thus could stay home w me for 2 weeks that I could not go to work or do anything. My doctor had said after 1 week I should be good to go to work but after seeing me he suggested another week. The problems for which you need someone 24/7 are because the first week you are completely drugged up and can barely walk sometimes (that may be my low tolerance to narcotics too) and again, you cannot move your arms for the life of you: not for going to the bathroom, not for doing anything to your hair, not to hold a full bottle of water because it's too heavy, you cannot open the pill bottles that you're supposed to take (also please get a stool softener...it should be a must), you cannot shower alone (and don't even try the first time because I cried out of frustration of not being able to do anything on my own), you cannot get dressed, well the list goes on. And let me also tell you that now that I have been to work and still can't pull anything heavy, the US isn't hand handicapped friendly: not all doors are automatic so you may still struggle after. Another huge thing for having someone there all the time is that if you don't sleep super super sitting (propped up), you will not be able to get out of the bed. I think the first whole week and a half I had to have my boyfriend put his arm on my back and push me up to get out of bed, also your butt will hurt from being sitting down so much (though you are supposed to walk every so often). Ok now I don't want to scare anyone. My boobs are still prettt high up but I feel like a woman for the first time. My pjs have a profile which is something I had never even noticed before. My doc took my one continuos stitch out and now I have a tape that covers the incision. My arm movements are so much better now. I found a way to clothe myself and I finally showered completely on my own. I can also use the microwave (even pushing those buttons wasn't possible before). my mother massaged my biceps and around with Vicks (like Spanish Bengay) and it felt so good and helped me with arm movements. Now the doc left me with some arm movements as well as boob implant movement. Warm compressions and bengay help a lot plus this elastic boob band that you wear pushes them down. I am so optimistic to being able to use my arms fully again. About my breast they still look pretty high up and the doc said they would until 3-6months. Sometimes I feel like prickling sensations, before it was burning...I guess my nipples are trying to get their sensitivity back. I still sleep sitting up which is literally a pain in the butt but laying down hurts sometimes and then I have to wake up my boyfriend to get me up.
Boobwise I think I'm still in shock. I went from an A to a supposed C but I think I may have liked them a tiny bit smaller...not sure if it's because of the sweeping or what but it will be exciting once I can try on a lace bra! Again, any questions, doubts, I am here!

I've been in and out of it for now. Today is day 1 of recovery. it's midnight and I woke up primarily because my chest burns. It has been a tough day but just looking down and knowing there are boobs there now makes me so happy. I felt the whole time like I have a straight jacket super tight around my boobs and they are hard as rocks but that is completely normal. I had such a difficult time choosing my method of breast augmentation. I first started super excited about fat grafting to the breasts. I didn't want such a huge difference in size (i was a 34 A, I am 5ft, and right now about 127lbs). I just thought any little thing was an improvement and with fat grafting you usually go up 1/2 cup to a cup size while having fat removed from other places like your tummy, muffin tops, thighs, etc. I wanted some fat removed from my tummy as well but it was not such a big deal as my boobs. I went to 2 consultations: one with Dr. Khalifeh and one with Dr. Bennet Yang. I immediately liked Dr. Khalifeh but now in retrospect I think I would've like any surgeon. I went to Dr. Yang just to check out another surgeon and I beyond love him! He's super patient, nice, calm, and isn't pushy at all. So I chose to go with him even though he's a little pricier but to my opinion you can't cheap out on your body. I spoke to him and he asked me if there was any breast cancer in my family because fat grafting to the breast can create calcifications, which are like little pebbles of dead fat, on your breasts and they can be mistaken as breast cancer. I thought I didn't have any so we made the agreement that I'd be getting the fat grafting done. Later I found out that there is breast cancer in my family and so I thought it through more carefully. I had a surgeon, friend of my family, tell me that if I were his daughter or sister he would put implants on me. He said they are the most studied medical device in existence. So I went back to Dr. Yang with a million questions. He answered everything, was super patient with my choosing a breast implant size, and we scheduled the surgery then. I picked a holiday to schedule the surgery and I am taking a week off work. Surgery day I was a bit nervous and a bit exited but more than that I knew it was just the beginning of the journey: recovery is the deal. Surgery went by in a breeze and next I know I was awake and in the car home. I wasn't nauseous like some other people are and I felt pretty ok with pain, it's just the pressure on my chest. At home it's been a looooong day. I sleep for bits at a time, my throat hurts from the anesthesia tube (feels like strep throat), and I CANNOT move my arms. I can move the lower part as for typing and holding my hands together but I cannot lift them or move them to the side. Getting up from the middle of the bed was impossible so now I am on the edge of the bed and use my legs to get me out. You NEED to have someone with you and I am so thankful that my boyfriend is here for anything I need. I welcome any questions anyone may have and I'll try to update once I'm fully healed.
