Breast's... Yes! It's finally happening!!!!

WORTH IT
I'm finally and officially scheduled for the breast augmentation I've dreamed of! I've never had boobs, and then got pregnant, boobs came in lol and i was able to breast feed for a little over a year, and that ended with full deflation! :(
I took the Leap and went In two weeks ago to have my consultation done. Just at the consultation I have never felt that kind of confidence before! Looking in the mirror with what looks like boobs in a cute sports bra, instantly gave me life… I could not stop smiling!! Not only that but Dr. Simuda gave me all the reassurance and confidence I needed to know and feel that I had picked the right doctor for this life changing experience !!
I'm officially scheduled for tomorrow morning 5/21/2020 at 7:15 am... any tips or things I should know or do before and after surgery.. and what is the pain like?? You would think after having a child this would be cake but I'm still unsure how i pushed out a baby haha!
I'm freaking out and I'm soooo nervous ... I'm afraid I'm going to back out lol!! Btw I have zero pain tolerance... So anxious for this to go as smooth as possible! .. all suggestions and info welcome!! I can't hardly wait to see the magic that Dr. Simuda works on me!
Thank you!!

Day of treatment
Operation BOOBS and The start to recovery
Syl0702May 22, 2020
What a day!!!! Well 7:15 didn’t go as planned but that’s totally okay, Dr. Sumida’s office was able to squeeze me in at 2 PM today!!!
I arrived at 2 PM signed my last documents went upstairs and the preparation began they had told me that surgery was set for 3 PM, the nurse Shannon was absolutely amazing and so sweet and took the best care of me for prepping as I was absolutely so nervous and scared of the unknown!
Dr. Simuda came in and brought my implants in for me to see them, he marked me up and explained the difference between Saline and silicone as I had switched to silicone at the last minute (days before) . He even gave me the option to revert back to Saline if I had wanted to as the 355 is a full C small D and I was really set on just a full C. With my figure and being short and petite I really wanted to make sure that I was not top-heavy or my implants looking super fake. I ended up going with a 355 silicone. I’m 5’0, 110-115 lbs. I wish I would have asked more questions regarding the silicone. I was completely set on The incision being on my areola and not underneath my breast but unfortunately that was not the case today and since I had switched I had to go underneath the breast. Definitely a little disappointed in that but there could have been bigger things to worry about.
3 PM hit and they were walking me to the OR!! I laid on the OR table and within no more than five minutes I was out from the anesthesia!!! 45 minutes later I was completed and woke up and was very groggy but overall I just kinda sat up and sat there for a few moments, I was not in any pain just simply a lot of pressure!
I stood up, don’t really remember walking out or to the car but I do remember the car ride!!
The drive home was a little rough walking was a little painful and hard I definitely had to take my absolute sweet time. Not sure if this is normal but I was sent home with just the bandages over my incision and that was it no wrapping, sports bras temporary bra, hospital bra, nothing lol so that threw me off quite a bit as I had planned on staying in the one that I thought I would receive from the office. So I did not purchase or order the ones that I had originally wanted to order post-op, kind of my fault but I had asked ahead of time and they told me that I would be walking out with a wrapping of some sort. When I got home walking again, was a little hard I had to hold the new girls in order to get into my home. I laid down and have been resting ever since I have the best care team behind me I have not had much pain, again it’s all just soreness and pressure!
Day one in the books and this has been the best recovery as I was so afraid and nervous scared that I was going to be in a ton of pain I know day two will be very rough not looking forward to it but I am ready to get this recovery on the road!!
Lots of ice, meds, and muscle relaxers that were given prescribed to me of course. I’ve been taking them like clockwork which has made this so much better. I’m not one to take medicine or a fan of meds but it’s totally helping with the pain and I’m simply feeling pressure which I’m totally OK with. I’ve been icing every 15-20 minutes and that has drastically helped with the swelling!!
Day one down, bring it on DAY TWO!

Thy look great o far! I had mine done on the 22nd and was only sent home with a sports bra no wrapping I threw me off too cause I usually see everyone else breast wrapped in all of the reviews. But who knows.
May 23, 2020
Thank you so much!! Yeah I was sent home with absolutely nothing lol .. I'm so excited for my sports bras to arrive today as I could use a tad bit of support. I know all doctors have their own way of practice and my breast are the bigger issue at this point haha! I hope recovery is going well for you so far! Hugs!

Day three officially..
Syl0702May 23, 2020
Woke up this morning and knew today would be the roughest day yet! I’m super sore today, ribs are finally having a feeling of bruising, chest is quite swollen.
QUESTION; how often are you ladies icing??
I was able to take my first shower yesterday and it was heavenly!! Back is a little sore as I’m definitely not used to sleeping upright on the couch with a million pillows behind me I am definitely a sleep on my stomach type of gal haha, anyone else struggling with this??
Any tips or tricks for sleeping??
I’m having quite a bit of pain near my incision just on one boob hoping that this goes away sooner than later!
Overall recovery is going great had my post op appointment yesterday via phone which was sooo nice and convenient, Doctor says that the girls are looking great!!
Any future remedies or meds for getting that incision scar smaller over time ??
Thanks XX

I bought a cervical pillow from amazon. I stack it on top of one other pillow and it helps a lot with the backaches from sleeping at an angle.
Link:
Core Products D-Core Cervical Support Pillow, Standard Firm, Midsize https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000ESPJX6/refcm_sw_r_cp_api_i_yrQYEb10AVFWB
It’s not as easy to use it like I’m supposed to but it lets me put my head higher or lower based on how I’m feeling.
I ice whenever my breasts feel swollen or my nipples hurt (I had a periareolar incision) but *never* on the incision.
May 24, 2020
Ahhhhh such helpful information I'm going to look it up now! Thank you for the details!
Question for you, what type of sports bras are you using?? Since I was sent home without one, I ordered on amazon and it was suppose to arrive last night but it changed to Wednesday. I went to my local target and they have nothing recovery style it's all regular underwire style. Ughh!! The girls need something lol TIA!!!
