Pain Meds!

WORTH IT$8,150
Ok so just an update on pain meds. When I got out in recovery I complained of pain and they gave me valium, then oxycodone like 30 minutes later. They prescribed me Tylenol 3 and valium every 6 hours. My first day I was in a little pain and took my meds regularly at 6 & 12. By noon the next day I switched to regular Tylenol and only took the Tylenol 3 at night and before my first shower. Only because when I first took the bra off for 3 minutes the day after my breast were sooo sore, so I prepared myself for my shower. By the third day I was off and now I don’t even take regular Tylenol on a schedule. I have also had zero complications so far, so that is a big factor. Just don’t overexert yourself!!

This is the first time I post in this website. I’ve been a member since 2015? I don’t even remember. But just wanted to say that I’m so happy for you. I wish you so much joy in this new chapter of your life.

First Post Op Appointment

smallbewbswanted
Today was my first post op appointment! It went well. They said I’m healing well, my sutures are great, im pretty soft (but tbh I still feel like they are really hard) and the bruising is normal. I havent even noticed any unevenness, which I was stressed about! They gave me a sports bra to wear, its a front clasp fruit of the loom sports bra! I was instructed to wear a bra at all times when moving around and to start using aquaphor or vaseline to peel off my steri strips. Which I did when I took my first shower. I put the new sports bra on to wash the old, the pictures of me now are AMAZING! I feel so much more confident and like a completely different person. She also gave me a sample of some scar removal cream to use. I’m going to try it and probably the strips when I peel off the steri strips. As long as it has a silicon base it’s she said it will work!

I did not do lipo with mine! It came across my mind but I also heard you could get something like that done in office later, and I couldn’t afford much more! I don’t really know what size I am now, I haven't tried on a real bra yet because I know I’m still swollen etc. My surgeon told me she would aim for a small C! My mom also thinks it might be around there. I also gained a little weight this year so I’m hoping when I’m cleared to start working out that i’ll lose the weight in my arms and around my side. & yes, tylenol 3 is good! That’s what I was prescribed, they gave me oxy when I was in recovery but I went home with Tylenol 3. Tbh, I only used like maybe 6 pills. I will make a whole post in an hour on meds!!

Yeah, mine told me she can predict the size because breast are so different but she would try! I absolutely did not want to be a D cup so I just asked her to go as small as she possibly could, & she she said she would without compromising blood flow. I will begin scar treatment when I can get all the steri strips off and they are glued on LOL. I tried to upload a picture of the sample she gave me but this site never approves of a picture. Its skinMedica scar recovery gel with centelline!

Your results are so good! You are probably the closest match to me I’ve found on here and your results make me excited. What size are you down to now?

Some post op photos

smallbewbswanted
I have tried switching wifis, using 3 different devices, chrome and safari but it’s just not letting me upload some side profile photos!! So frustrating but I’m trying guys. My first post op appointment is tomorrow (Friday), I had surgery on Monday. So I will update more then!! I have photos when I first took the bra off, the next day. They are kinda smooshed from having all the gauze and padding pressed on, now that’s not so much the case. Not going to lie, it hurt not having the support for like 3 minutes. I kinda just sponged bathed myself that day and waited until the next to fully take the bra off and shower with my mom’s help. I would recommend taking a pain pill ab 30-45 minutes before you shower! Its pretty bruised but I thought it was going to look a lot worse!! Im actually in love with how small they are!! attached is the photo I took when I got out of the car and into my house (minus the side profile), the photos in the black tanktop are from about a month ago. I’m gonna grab it tomorrow from my apartment and try and do a comparison! I’ll make another post tomorrow after my postop and I think I’m going to make a separate post on my meds/pain to make these a little shorter!
