Have wanted a breast enlargement for several years...

Have wanted a breast enlargement for several years now, and with weight gain and loss over the years and terrible PMS resulting in swollen breasts for a couple of weeks each month, my C cup boobs were in my opinion soft and saggy.The procedure went really well and so far I have not been in any pain.

Post op 6 days - bandage taken off today

I had my post-op check up today and viewed my new boobies for the first time, everything is going well and I am healing nicely. I am quite bruised at the bottom of each breast and I noticed that I don't have much to any sensation in either nipple, I hope that improves over time. I am still quite bloated it seems to come and go so I am wondering if it is fluid in my body. I am moving country tomorrow so will be keeping in touch with my surgeon via email and photos. I have to take my steri-strips off on Friday and replace every day for a week, and start massaging the sides and tops of each breast to help them soften. I don't have much swelling apparently so this will hopefully be the size I will end up with, I hope that is the case as I love this size and think they are perfect, they are sitting high and need to settle over the next couple of months. I can start rubbing bio-oil into the scars in a week or so. Overall I am very pleased with the result, loved trying on the dress I bought pre-surgery to see how well I filled it :)

I think u and I started out pretty similar. We even had our surgery the same day!! I have a ton if bruising. Everything seems to b going well so far. I too am happy with my size and hope not much of it is swelling! I ended up with 275 cc in the left and 300 in the right. I'm envious of your steri strips. My PS doesn't use them so I have seen the incisions right away. Not my favorite part!! Keep in touch and happy healing!! They look great!

Wow you really did have intense bruising! I hope they are healing nicely for you now. Yes I do feel like we look very similar pre op and possibly post op from the side as well. Did you have any sort of bandage or strips post op? I was very nervous to see what was under the bandage for the first time but was pleasantly surprised, I expected to feel really upset at seeing my cut up boobs!

I did not have any strips. Even now they look rough because the glue is still there and it's holding onto the dry blood. Funny thing is I don't care. I really like the shape and size and I know the rest will get better with time. Keep in touch!

Really pleased to see your post and pics, I am booked in with Dr Thiele in three weeks. Hope your recovery continues to go well.

I'm really happy with my results so far, I can't wait for them to settle and sit a bit more naturally though. I decided to go with Dr Thiele after having a couple of other consultations, one with a surgeon who came across as totally bonkers!

Steristrips are off

I have taken the strips off a couple of days earlier than my PS advised as they were starting to really irritate my skin. I have seriously swollen and sore nipples which have gotten worse over past couple of days, you can push them in and feel the fluid (I think anyway,) I hope this is normal, I'm about to email my PS about it and I'm flying back to Brisbane in a few weeks so will see him for a post-op appointment then. I'm really missing exercise and starting to feel quite run down but I am too scared at the moment of causing my boobs unnecessary movement to do anything, walking really hurts my nipples after about half an hour. My right breast is having a harder time at healing than my left but otherwise I think everything is going okay.
Just wondering did your health fund pay anything?
