Where to begin...
Okay, so I meant to update a lot sooner but I've been busy recovering and then dealing with regular life stuff so let's seeeee...
It's almost midnight right now so tomorrow would be 12 days after surgery. Recovery has been amazing (as far as recovering from surgery goes).
Immediately coming out of surgery, I was just groggy and tired but feeling pretty darn good (anesthesia was still in effect). Pain didn't really hit me until the second day, and that sucked. Definitely the second and third day were the worst for me, and I had a lot of help from my mom those two days. I took my pain medication for about 6 days and then switched to extra strength Tylenol if I felt I needed it, which I really didn't except for maybe in the morning a couple days.
I also started taking Arnica immediately after surgery along with my antibiotics and whatnot and I feel that really did help with the swelling and some bruising I had (particularly on my right breast).
Hmm, what else. Any questions, feel free to ask. I honestly feel great now, I'll occasionally get a zing on either breast but it's not bad.
Today I got my stitches removed and my PS says everything is looking great and as it should and reminded me to keep doing my massages, which I started 4 or 5 days ago. She told me to now apply neosporin ointment on the incision site and kinda massage it in there as that'll help even further with the scarring.
I'll include some pics, there's still some crusties around the nipple but those will fall off in the shower and on their own.
Some of the angles might be weird but in person they're looking pretty even (maybe the left it dropping a teeennnyyyy bit faster) and I'm extremely happy with the size and progress of everything so far.
Again, I got 400cc Mentors through the areola.

The grass is greener
So I'm finally on the other side as of yesterday, and I couldn't be happier :D
I had my surgery at 8:30am and was home by around 11am. I only had a little difficulty shaking off that groggy, post-anesthesia feeling and I was feeling super confident as I felt fine!! I had minimal discomfort and pain and really was only dealing with the limited movement.
However, that only lasted so long. Around midnight the discomfort and tightness increased and by 3am, the pain started to really kick in.
Needless to say, I didn't really sleep all too well and I woke up in a lot more pain, which I guess was expected (no way I'd be so lucky).
Today is the second day and the pain was pretty up there. I had my post-op appointment this morning and Dr.Lombardo told me that today and tomorrow will basically be my worst days but that everything is looking great!
I have my 5 day post-op on Tuesday where we will go over massaging and further details :)))
I'm sooooo happy!! And I have a high pain tolerance so this healing thing isn't bumming me out too much.
I haven't really taken pictures as I've been resting a lot but I'll get on that soon enough ^.^

how did the doc address the tuberous issue aside from the implants?

Through the areola, cut the muscle fibers that were causing the problem before inserting the implants

The first day coming out of surgery I felt on top of the world (probably cuz the anesthesia was still fairly present) and felt like this was going to be too easy as I felt basically no pain and very mild discomfort (shallow breathing and slight pressure). Second day and today, the pain has been real. I also need some help getting myself out of bed but not too bad. Seriously though, the pain went up a lot but I've been managing it with my pain meds.
