Breat aug via fat transfer — Vienna, VA

So far my breasts are healing great! The left side has dropped a LOT and reduced in swelling by A LOT. The right side is still dropping and is a little more swollen. The bruising, redness, and tenderness have reduced by a lot. You cannot even tell that I had a surgery! I have been using Banyal Botanicald Breast Care Balm, Kanchanar Guggulu tablets, and Healthy Kapha tablets in the past week to help my body flush out the lumps I have from the surgery. They have been working well so far. I also continue taking the arnica montana tablets, as well as the Tylenol extra strength, even though I don’t really need the latter one. I have stopped taking shatavari tablets for a while to see if it has an impact on my breasts becoming lumpy. However, I do think that it has contributed to my fat retention so far. I still measure around 37 - 38 inches (I checked this morning), which I think is incredible considering that my swelling has gone down A LOT. It seems like the measurements are here to stay. I’m so glad I did this surgery, and I’m really glad I listened to Dr. Maia about the 150CCs in each breast. You can also see that looking at my bikini line there are only two incisions, one on each side of the pubic area to access the inner thighs. And they have healed quite nicely! I think if anyone saw it, they would think I gave myself a razor cut and they are still healing. I think the Skinuva scar cream and the Arnica bruise gel also contributed to the rapid healing. Dr. Maia told me to start using it at 3-4 weeks, but I started it at 3-4 days, haha. My body just healed very rapidly, much more rapidly than I expected it to. The darkness around my inner thigh areas where the fat was taken are starting to return more to their normal shade. Also, there was a very tangible lump in my left inner thigh from the fat removal that has gone down a lot too. I have aldo been using the breast care balm for that area. I also do dry brushing and oil massage of my body every morning to encourage lymphatic flow and blood flow and to discourage lump creation, which I think has also helped in my healing since I have been keeping up with it since day 4 after surgery.

Today was the first day I took a shower after the procedure. All my surgical tapes fell off, so it’s just my sutures left on my body now. Still going braless and enjoying it, haha. I think most people honestly can’t tell because the fat cells are still settling into my breast, so it kind of looks like a bra under my shirt. The breasts still measure 37-37.5 inches :). I really hope it stays that way! I am still taking 2 tylenol tablets at night and in the morning, as well as the arnica and bromelain. After taking my shower this morning, I realized that my inner thighs, where the fat was taken, has turned a little darker than what it was previously, and it is still sore, so I put shea butter and vitamin e oil all over my whole body to help even the discoloration and restore the skin texture there. I also regularly take shatavari tablets and add tulsi and ashwagandha and goat milk into my teas, which I know are all associated with the building up of fat and muscular structures in the body. I think this also relates, besides the bromelain and arnica montana tablets, as to why my bruising has been basically nonexistent. I just have some redness and soreness in my boobs, with them being sensitive to touch still, like period boobs. And also the discoloration and slight unevenness in my inner thighs from the surgery. However, it doesn’t really bother me considering the fact that my legs have always been oddly shaped due to being bowlegged and having flat feet. I’m also certain that with wearing the compression garments and going back to my weightlifting routine, it will correct itself. I am interested to see how when I gain weight over time, how my breasts and inner thighs will react after this surgery.

I went to church this morning; I wore a loose wrap dress with no bra — the boobs look like I have a bra on since they’re so high up still. I did a measurement this morning, and my bust is 37.5 inches. It was 35.5-36 inches before the surgery. I hope I don’t go down too much! I really like my boobs so far, and I can’t wait to see how they settle into my body.
I just took the tylenol and the bromelain and arnica montana tablets this morning, as well as my antibiotic. All the incision sites and sutures have stopped leaking, so I took off my gauzes. I’m going to take a shower tomorrow morning I think… or maybe tonight. So far, so good still! The boobs still feel a little sore and tender like period boobs. The thighs are still sore a little when I get up or sit down. But overall, it has been great!
