Breast Lift and Augmentation

Today was been more painful than other days. I am having pain near my sternum and my armpits. I keep getting pains that feel like my breasts are contracting. I’m assuming all of this is normal and my body just adjusting to everything. I tried to leave the house for a bit with my husband and son and needed to come home after a short period of time bc of the pain. I’m really trying to take it easy and not over do it. I am LOVING the look!! This is really everything I wanted!

I had my surgery today!! I had to be there at 6:30. I didn’t sleep well last night, but woke up really calm and excited. Everything went to smooth and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They took me back and had my pee in a cup and then brought me in a room to put on a gown and start my IV. They let my mother-in-law come back after this. The anesthesiologist came in and put a nausea patch behind my ear. I get sick when being put under and I wasn’t sick at all this surgery! I started to get a little anxious around this time. Shortly after, Dr. Brothers came in and did his markings. He was so calm and it helped calm me down before surgery. The anesthesiologists came back in and gave me something in my IV and wheeled me into the OR. I remember someone said, “This is just oxygen” while putting mask on my face and then I woke up in recovery. I woke up and looked down to see if they were done bc I was confused and thought maybe they hadn’t even started the surgery yet haha. I had some pain in my armpit when I woke up and the nurse gave me some pain meds by IV. Shortly after, I got up and dressed went potty and headed home! I feel really good. I napped for like an hour and outside of that I’ve just been relaxing and getting used every now and again to walk a couple laps around the house. I don’t really have any pain. I have a constant tugging feeling between my breasts and they have swollen up A LOT since being home. They look massive ???? I get to take the wrap off and see them and have a quick shower on Thursday night and first post-op apt on Monday! Hoping I’m able to rest tonight. Been taking tramadol every 4 hours (I can’t take Percocet or loratab bc they cause chest pains for me).
