26 Year Old, No Children, 225cc Saline - Brookline, MA

So, after many many years of being self conscious of my small chest size, I decided to get a breast augmentation as a present to myself. I met with Dr. Tantillo in Brookline, Mass and I couldn't have been more pleased. He is very professional, curious and was sure to address all of my concerns. I went though the surgery on Monday November 24th and am currently on day 2 of healing. Overall I am pleased, but there is still a little too much fullness in the upper-pole, but I am sure once my implants drop they will look absolutely PERFECT! I can't wait to progress my healing. Also, I'm pleasantly surprised how little pain I have been in. I feel slight pressure on my chest, and the only real "pain" (I'd say about a 4/10) is while walking around without the surgical bra on (I had to wash it)

SO, things appearance-wise hasn't changed much since the past day, however I am not in nearly as much discomfort as I was in yesterday. Yesterday it was difficult for me to lift myself out of bed, but today I can do that and walk around with very minimal discomfort. I even went to the grocery store for a few hours! I still had to get help from my boyfriend with opening bottles, mashing potatoes, etc. because of the strain it puts on your pectoralis muscles. Also, I spent short amounts of time bra-less to help promote dropping and fluffing of my implants.

I have noticed, however, that I look VERY bloated (a common complaint I see on here). How long does that take to go away? Is it just from my body retaining water post-surgery?

SO, one of my complaints about this site was that not many people kept a daily (or so) log of their healing process post-surgery. Regardless, today is my 4th day post-op. So far things are so good. I have essentially no pain/discomfort while sitting/laying down but when I'm standing up I'm a little sore. Oddly enough, the soreness isn't in my breasts but rather right underneath my breasts in my rib region. Also, if I press lightly on my ribs beneath my breasts I feel a "gurgling" almost like fluid being displaced, which is odd, but I'm assuming it's a normal part of the healing process.
Yesterday being Thanksgiving I spent most of the day on my feet around the house. I was a trooper for most of it, but had to lay down around 6pm. I think that's my only REAL complaint at the moment: I tire SO easily. I'm virtually always tired, even though I'm only taking my Valium once (maybe twice) a day.
NOW for the good stuff! Physical healing. So far, the swelling in my breasts has gone down a bit and I feel like they may already be starting to drop/fluff. The shiney-ness of my breasts has gone away and the tissue in the upper breast doesn't feel rock-hard anymore (granted it's still pretty firm and has a ways to go)
