One Week Boobiversary
My nipples have been KILLING me the last 2 days! I was feeling so great after surgery that I pushed it a little too much on Sunday (picking up and moving some items, and trying on swimsuits) and now I'm paying the price. I also finished taking all prescribed medications which isn't helping matters. On the bright side, my new favorite hobby is trying on swimsuits that I've owned for years but always had to stuff with inserts. I go for my 1 week post op visit tomorrow with doc and I'm hoping for a thumbs up.
Rapid Recovery Procedure
I forgot to mention one very important fact and that is that Dr. Kofkoff uses a rapid recovery procedure which includes beginning some medications 48 hours prior to surgery, as well as utilizing minimally invasive techniques when actually performing the surgery. I do not know how much this differs from a "normal" breast augmentation but there is an excellent chance that it is the reason why I am not experiencing too much pain.
2 Days Post Op
I have boobs!!!
Surgery was on Wednesday and went as smooth as I think surgery could possibly go. I checked in at 10:30am for my 12:00pm surgery. The nurses brought me back around 11:15 to weigh me and get a urine sample (of course I couldn't pee in the cup so we got an IV started). Two nurses prepped me and then I met the anesthesiologist. He explained how the anesthesia would be administered, answered any questions I had and then was on his way. Then my PS came in, marked me up, asked if I had any questions and then let the nurse team take me from there. They must have been sneaky with the anesthesia because I have no idea when they slipped it into my IV. I remember being transferred from the bed to the table and then all of a sudden I woke up in the recovery room with boobs!
I drank some water, ate some pretzels, did my arm raises and felt ready to go. The nursing staff asked me numerous times if I was sure I was ready but I felt great and just wanted to get out of the hospital bed. Mom took me back home where I had a meal and a movie waiting for me. I inhaled my food (appetite was definitely not a problem) and made sure to stay on top of my meds. The four meds I have been on are Keflex (antibiotic), Robaxin (muscle relaxer), Percocet (pain) and Celebrex. It's important to take them with food but I have had no problems with nausea or dizziness at all.
Regarding pain, I think I've been EXTREMELY lucky so far. I have had tightness and soreness but other than that, pain has been minimal. Getting up and down is a little tricky but that's about it. I have continued to do arm raises and even showered one day post op. I have been icing the top of my breasts occasionally to try and eliminate some swelling and it's actually working. The most obnoxious part of this whole process is the surgical bra. The restriction doesn't bother me but the elastic underneath is ridiculously itchy. Oh well!
I have noticed my nipples are numb and puffy but from what I've read, it's completely normal. All in all, I am beyond thrilled with my results and look forward to what the next couple of weeks will bring!
