Still super happy. My doctor is 4 hours away so I haven’t had a post op with him yet, but that’s my fault. My daughter had a snow day when we were scheduled and I’ve had too much going on with work... plus coronavirus now.... but I have texted with dr. Newman and I completely feel that if I had concerns, he’d be there for me.
I love the way my breast look. I didn’t realize it prior to surgery, but I guess I had some fat in my armpits that subconsciously bothered me. That is gone now. I love the shape and feel. My right side is still a little sore if I try to lay on my side, but im going to keep massaging them. I’m thinking it’s because I’m more dominate on my right side.
One thing I wasn’t warned about was rib pain. Totally makes sense now that I’m dealing with it. About 4 weeks out, I started getting pain in my left side and then it was concluded that it was because of implants. My right side just started experiencing it.
At this point, I’m dropping waiting to fluff

Areola size reduced and day 17 update
Reserved7052February 18, 2020
I’ve always been super self conscious of my areola. Before having a kid, I referred to them as pepperoni nipples, because they were big. Then after getting pregnant, they grew even more! They were pizza nipples then haha. I originally got my nipples pierced in hopes that it would distract from the size of my areola and make me feel like they were pretty. So part of our consolation, I mentioned that and Dr. Newman said he could make them smaller during the breast lift. Honestly, I didn’t have an ideal size. I would have been happy with pepperoni nipples or smaller. Since I didn’t realize this was an option before the consultation, this was more of just an extra bonus for me.
Anyway..... we finally removed the tape around my areola and once again, I’m freaking thrilled!
Yes there is some puckering which I was told would eventually go away or be less noticeable. I was glad that I could feel the tape being pulled away. I was nervous about not having feeling there for awhile. There’s definitely a big difference in the size pre and post areola.
Other updates at 17 days:
There is some pain, but that’s expected. I would compare the pain to a sunburn. I’ve been putting coco butter on the exposed skin, but not massaging them yet. My post op orders say to wait till week 3 to massage. Rubbing the lotion on them feels like rubbing after sun care on a pretty intense sunburn. Everything seems to be healing well. The incisions under my breast look good. I can see that the girls are dropping more, swelling is going down, and they’re getting softer. No real problem with lifting my arms, but bending over isn’t my favorite. I usually wrap my arm around my chest if I’m bending over to grab something. There have been a couple of times when I’ve used my upper muscles more than I should and I’ll feel some pain, so I’ll stop and ask for help. I can feel nerves in my nipples waking up. It’s like lightening strikes in my nipples and goes away as quickly as it came.
I’m still wearing my surgical bra when I go to bed at night. For a few nights I didn’t (I wore a regular sports bra) and when I woke up, I felt more sore than the other nights. During the day, I’m wearing sports bras that zip in the front. I’ve also got a bra that was gifted to me that another friend swore by after her surgery, her dr said it was the only bra he recommended for patients for 6 months post surgery. I’ve worn it twice when going to work and wearing a top where I didn’t want sports bra straps showing (mainly because I was doing presentations in front of important people). I don’t see anything special about it and think it works as well as the sports bras. It basically looks like my surgical bra, a no wire bra, and a sports bra were combined into one. So I can see why someone might want that option to wear for sake of outfits, but it’s not necessary. I also bought a surgical strap that we lovingly refer to as my titty strap. I’ll put that on while driving for some extra stability since my office is a good 30 min bumpy ride.
I still can’t get over how happy I am!

I’m still doing super great! I can’t believe how well this is going actually. I’m super happy with my results still. I haven’t had any complaints. I can tell that the girls are dropping as the tops and my ribs feel at little more tender the past couple of days. But everything seems to be going on track. These pictures are from today and the comparisons are day 3 to day 10
