Tuberous Breast

My breast deformity has always bothered me, so finally decided to fix it. I am 36 years old, 5’8, 150 lbs. My husband & I have 2 children. With each pregnancy I was not able to breastfeed & they never increased in size like most women.
I had 3 consultations with different plastic surgeons in our area and decided on Dr Aric Eckhardt. He was very gentle & soft spoken and seems very knowledgeable about his profession.

Surgery was scheduled for 9. We arrived, they took my vitals and had me take a pregnancy test. Dr came in to make his markings, met with the anesthesiologist & after a quick kiss from my husband I was on my way to the operating room.
The entire procedure took about 3 hours. He did a lift & removed some extra breast tissue from the right side to make them more symmetrical. Made my areolas smaller and placed 415cc of cohesive gel under the muscles. Upon waking up, I was at about a 6 for pain level. Feeling like there were a couple large bricks on my chest, and very tender. 
After getting settled at home in the recliner, I was a lot more comfortable. Hydrocodone is what was prescribed to me and I have been taking it along with ibuprofen.

I woke up about every hour during the first night. Pain was very manageable, but just not used to sleeping in my recliner and I was making sure to drink plenty of water so there were multiple bathroom trips. Dr Eckhardt gave me instructions to raise my arms above my head several times each hour and to also not lay around all day- the body recovers quicker if you are up & moving regularly. I was still very cautious about getting in & out of the recliner but would do a lap around the kitchen, living room ect! After 24 hrs I was allowed to remove the ace bandage and shower. So far, my incisions are not hurting at all and the most discomfort is muscle soreness in my armpit area. I have been consistent with Hydrocodone every 4 hours, and then taking 2 ibuprofen 1 hour after taking a pain pill. Also, I have been icing continually during this time period and eating very healthy along with drinking lots & lots of water!
