Congrats on your decision to have surgery! I also had a similar surgery. Do you mind sharing what type and size implants you’re going with? Also what kind of lift (anchor, vertical, Benelli) will you be getting? Any other details you have to share would be interesting to know.

Good luck with your upcoming surgery! I also had a BL/BA so I know what you’re going through. Have you asked your PS for suggestions on postop healing products? I’m not an M.D. but I think the most important thing is to stick to healthy diet and stay well hydrated. According to the literature your body needs more calories, protein and water to heal the damaged cells. This is not the time to be losing weight. I was instructed to drink at least 2 Liters of water per day and eat lots of protein. I purchased a case of Orgain vegan protein drinks to supplement my diet and ensure that I got enough calories and protein. Wishing you the best! :-)

Hi!! Im super excited for you!!!! You must be so excited, and nervous. The whole experience can/is very emotional. You will go through a range of emotions from now,,,through a good portion of your healing. I know you mentioned before that you have plans for summer, and you have 6 weeks to heal. I went on a cruise at, I believe, 3 months. A lift takes up to a year to heal completely. Internally, and all that. Im sure you will be fine with your plans at 6 weeks, provided there are no issues with healing. My biggest piece of advice that I can give you, is to follow your doctors instructions to the letter. Do everything they want you to do. Even if you don't like it, or its uncomfortable. Stay in the bra they want, for as long as they want. And don't mess around with your boobs a lot in the beginning. I was so fixated on mine, that I couldnt get out of the mirror! LOL! But, I didnt touch, handle, bother them at all. Only looked. You will want to stay very well hydrated, and make sure you are eating a very healthy diet. I recommend getting a travel pillow to help you sleep the first few nights. You will be sleeping sitting up, and that can be very uncomfortable (unless you have a recliner, or adjustable bed). Its helpful to have one of those pillows. Try to have everything ready in advance. Your medications. Books, magazines, your laptop. Make sure your clothes are all button up, so you don't have to try to take anything off/on over your head. Anything you need/want to have near your recovery area, so that you don't have to move a lot. The first few days are the hardest. Stick to your medications schedule. This surgery is TOTALLY worth it. You will also want to start thinking about scar therapy. Your doctor may have suggestions for you. Lots of women use different things. I use Scar Away silicone sheets. You just stick them on, and it helps with scars,,making them flat, and helping them fade. They are very inexpensive compared to some other options out there. Embrace Scar Therapy is another good one. I haven't tried them, but Ive seen great results. Pricey though. Please keep us posted on your journey. Ask questions if you want to. So many women on this site helped me through my journey, and so many women are here to help you. Even if you just wanna talk about how you are feeling. It was an incredible experience. Take care!! Looking forward to following you!!! :)
