I wished to get a tummy tuck or breast...

I wished to get a tummy tuck or breast augmentation so long already. My oldest is 13 my youngest is 7. I didn't think I could take much time off work to do the tummy tuck because I'm very active at my job, so I chose BA first. Yesterday morning was my operation, and I have been in a lot of pain.
It feels as if the center of my chest sternum area is being pulled in opposite directions. I was a 32 C and received 325cc silicone gel. I'm not sure what the results will be. So far I have numbness on the nipples and under the breasts. I'm only 5'1 and 98 lbs so I couldn't go much bigger than this, especially because I wanted something natural looking. It looks great for now, but still way too early to tell.

still very sore, day 3

I'm in this phase where I don't see anything special, and the pain is hardly tolerable. I did not take pain meds the second day, because I mostly just slept. The 3rd day, I needed them badly. The percicet pills don't seem to alleviate the pain, but they do put me to sleep. Sleeping is awful, I can't get comfy. I'm up in a sitting position still. I cannot stand to wear the sports bra either. I was able to get up and go out to the mall with my family, but every bump on the drive was very painful. I also have a lot of numbness in both breasts. I hope everything resolves ok, and soon. I have my first follow up on Monday, 2 more days.

It will get better I just had mine done about 2 weeks ago. Numbness went away. I only needed Tylenol, but I'm a recovering opiate addict so I wasn't able to take Rx pain meds anyway. My doctor gave me a supportive bra that clasps in the front so it is easy to take off and I have been wearing that for a week when I read some Drs say to not wear a bra at all! So maybe you don't need to wear one. Also don't worry about getting up and doing anything I basically dat around for 4-5 days. And sleep with pillows to prop you up that was only way I could sleep. Don't worry you will love them when they settle and stop being sore. Also I massaged mine a lot, seemed to help:)

day 4 feels a little better
angel1492December 21, 2015
So I've been having 2 things bother me that I'm bringing up at my post op. The first thing is a muscle spasm. It is a strong jolting that is more annoying than painful in my mid back. I've iced it and that seems to help. The second thing is my stomach feels very sore and bloated. I don't know if it's because of the pain pills, percocet, or if it's because I had to get off my birth control pills to get this done and I'm going to have a period. I just know that my stomach looks and feels bloated, and feels like I've done crunches. The soreness in my breasts has went down more, and I can change my own shirt slowly now. They still feel pretty solid, and numbness is still present. I haven't taken percocet in 14 hours and I'm ok. I was able to take a walk around the neighborhood today no problem. I go back to work in 3 days and I think I'll be ok then.

Hi, for only 3 days post, I think that you are doing really great! The stomach aches are probably everything you mentioned, and umm, maybe some delayed BM? For me, after day 4, things started feeling much better. My sister talked me off the ledge, just about every day and reminded me that what we forget about is that this is major surgery, they lifted up muscles and shoved foreign objects in our body. Not that that makes everything better, but we have to giveourselves a little break, and lots of credit!!!
You're going to be so great in just a couple of days. Your boobs already have a really nice roundness to them. Mine were horrible and boxy for almost two weeks. I'm a year post BA on 12/29 and am still experiencing changes.
I can't wait to follow your journey and see your progress! Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!

Thank you for the kind words! I am glad to hear things worked out for you. That makes me feel better.

Hi, so strange reading this post because I had to make sure it wasn't me who wrote them! On day 3, yesterday, I began to feel what you described: jolting pains to my I'd back that hurt SO MUCH I had to resort back to pain meds. My stomach was hurting and I was gassy (excuse me). I also have become so bloated and I am on my period.
My breasts are still stiff and my chest muscles are still fighting the implants. I have to wear this compression band above my chest to help keep the implants down, along with a sports bra. I don't see my PS again until Tuesday. Can't wait.
Yours looks amazing!!! I hear it gets better, and I keep telling myself that. I would love to follow you on your journey. Thanks for posting for us!
