22 Days post op
I must say I'm doing great. I'm on DERMASTINE and the steri strip for the scar since 7 days post-op.
Some days they feel like rocks in the morning, most days very soft. Been attempting to sleep on my side since day 20. The right is easier, right feels weird. I sleep on my back most nights. All is well, just discomfort on some days with a burning sensation on the nipples still.
I dont regret anything about the surgery I had.

Post-Op Day 7
It's been 7 days since surgery. I feel amazing, except a little bit of discomfort from time to time. I was on SYNALEVE for pain and fever, COXLEON for nflammation, BETAROXIME antibiotics, ZOPHER for nausea and vomiting which I did not need as I was ok and also PROBIOTICS.
I did however complete my course of antibiotics and did not need pain meds from day 3.
My scar is healing quick, as of today I'm on a scar cream and tape and my next visit is on 24/07. I'm so pleased with my boobies, I love them.
Dr Mark Steinmann is a boob magician. I have now been cleared to drive and do minimal stuff to avoid excessive use of my arms and pressuring my chest muscle. I will be posting pictures tomorrow.

Your country is beautiful! I had the time of my life in Cape Town! I didnt want to come back to the US.
Glad you are recovering well.

My Breast Journey
I started my consultations about late 2018, have seen a few surgeons and finally decided upon one. I'm 33, 5ft9, I weight 75kg. Breasts deflated after breastfeeding my 3 daughters. The right breast is extremely deflated with a slightly inverted nipple.
So excited, yet a little bit scared. Hoping all will go well. As an woman from avery deeply rooted African family I know for a start I may be judged, or even lectured, but I'm ready for it all as this is my journey, my life, my rules.

Anyway, I understand the family issue. I broke the news to my mom last week that I'm getting implants in the fall. It was a dramatic convo but at least it's over with! Well wishes on your procedure!

Hi Novee, thank you so much. I have told only a friend and my 1 cousin, my husband knows too. I'm 12 hours post OP. I feel better. Pain earlier was 7/10 now it's more of a discomfort when I turn or try using my arms. The meds are realy helping.
Enjoy your visit to SOUTH AFRICA.
