27, no kids, 34A, 5’0 & 110 lbs: finally on my way to have boobs!

It’s been a week and a day since the surgery, and I am feeling better and better. The first four days of recovery was tough for me, which I expected because I have a sensitive stomach. Plus, I was pretty drugged up between the narcotics and the muscle relaxers. Also, I don’t know why, but I didn’t realize the the implants would feel heavy asf on my chest/incisions. But by day five I started walking around frequently and keeping solid food down. The implants still feel heavy, especially when I do not have my compression bra on. My surgeon insisted that I wear KT tape under my boobs to further support the implants and relieve pressure on the incisions so I can build solid scar tissue in the inframammary fold. This will help prevent bottoming out. I don’t mind the KT tape. It hasn’t irritated my skin, but sometimes the adhesive pulls on the incisions, and that’s not pleasant. Does anyone else feel or felt that their implants were heavy during the recovery? Also, any recommendations for caring for chapped/chaffed nipples? The pressure from the compression bra is causing some irritation. I will update everyone again soon :)

Hey y’all!! I can’t believe my surgery is done and I’m already on the road to recovery. I’ve been sleeping really good at night despite being in discomfort. But I am able to sleep comfortably on my back as long as I don’t move too much or try and lay on my side. As it was yesterday, my sternum is still super sore. Granted my whole chest is sore but I feel like I was kicked right in the solar plexus. Also, it is hard to get in and out of bed on my own. I have had Greg (my bf) help me with that. Other good news is that I don’t feel sick from the anesthesia or pain killers—which I am sooooooo thankful for—and once I’m out of bed, I have no problems functioning. Oh, another thing that’s crazy is that it doesn’t hurt me to lift my hands above my head. I can wash my hair, shower, and go to the bathroom on m own. After months of research I figured I’d be miserable for the first 5 days because so many voiced how hard their recovery was. But somehow I lucked out.
The team performing the procedure excel at what they do. The nurses showed how much they cared, the anesthesiologist was funny and reassuring, and I whole heartedly trust my surgeon, Dr. Michelle Spring. I never once felt uncomfortable or let down as I had with other surgeons with whom I consulted. I am more than happy to answer any questions y’all have about my BA journey. I will keep doing regular updates too so everyone can track my progress :)
P.S.——I’m still on pain medication so I apologize if I’m a little incoherent!

Today was the day of my breast augmentation!! It didn’t start out too great, but I think I will be happy with the result. I woke up at 3 in the morning, restless and nauseous. I decided to try and go back to sleep, but that was not happening. So at 5 am I got in the shower to wash with Hibiclense for the last time. I was told to take an antacid by the surgical center, yet because I couldn’t keep anything down, that came back up too :(
My procedure was at 7 am in the morning which is what I requested. The surgery lasted only 1 1/2 hours, and then I spent a couple of hours in recovery. I was back home by 1230 and immediately took a nap. I woke up around 5 pm and have been up and about ever since. 
I’m actually pleasantly surprised that i haven’t had a rough recovery. I was up and walking around all evening and haven’t felt nauseous—even while taking muscle relaxers and pain killers. The sorest place is my sternum, and I haven’t iced anything either. Perhaps I will change my mind if the recovery starts becoming harder. I will come back and update you all more, but tonight my pills are kicking in and I noticed that I keep misspelling words or adding two same words in this review. Also, it’s hard to hold the phone while I’m so drowsy. I will upload after pictures when I finish with 1st post op appointment which is tomorrow morning.
