4 days post op - 500cc High Profile
I am 4 day post op, had my first follow up visit with my Doctor yesterday. Everything is looking good, healing just like he wants me to. They are dropping slowly, my right faster than the left, but he's not concerned about that. I've started scarring cream over my surgical tape, stool softer working like a charm. I'm eating pineapple which helps with that too. The skin of the pineapple is then boiled, drained and I drink that as a tea which also helps as a diuretic. I have very light diet, small portion of carbs, turkey patties (low sodium), and veggies, I went in weighing 152lbs one week before the procedure and the day of the procedure I was down to 147 (11/2 week).
I'm back up to 151, but I think the bloating and the fact I have two 500cc gels in me have a lot to do with that. I'm still icing, every 2-4 hours.
I have stopped taking my prescribed pain meds, im now taking motrin unless the pain get too bad. I'm done with my antibiotics just showering with dial everyday, my husband or mom wash my hair.
I'm resting a lot. My mom has been home taking care of my 5 year old and cooking my meals which is a blessing, couldn't be more thankful.
Can't wait to be back at least 70% where o can walk freely and even drive.

How do the scars look ?? Was the nipple reduced at all or kept the same size ?

Im still taped up so I can't see the scars, I'm ready using scar scream over my tapes. He recommended skin medica with centelline. My incisions are 5mm each under my breast. He ended up only lifting one breast because the other one he didn't feel it was necessary and that it would fall to look very muxh alike my right breast which did get a lift. That's the one with a vertical incision and around the nipple.

I have boobs!
surgery went really smooth, I was awake the whole time pretty much joking around with the doctor, the nurses were very very sweet.
I didn't feel a thing although I was awake I was pretty much in-n-out sleeping seems like it went pretty fast once i woke up the nurse showed me and they looked pretty bandaged up so I couldn't really tell how the looked I was halfway sleep right now they're sitting really high which I hope they get low because otherwise I'm not going to be very happy about them sitting so high that my chin can basically touch them.
Here is a quick shot, once I can move around better I'll do angle shots.

Thank you so much!!! Day by day I'm feeling better. I still feel engorged, if you had babies and you breast fed you'd understand there's no relieve unless yo lugar pump. Hehe. Slowly but surely.
