I have wanted to get a boob job since I was 18 but it hasn't really been attainable until now...finances, health issues, LIFE happens! Anyway, the timing now is perfect and I have absolutely no regrets! I am so glad I stumbled upon this website before my surgery as it has helped me to choose a happy size by taking into account other's stats that are similar to mine. I was unsure of posting anything on here but would like to contribute to helping anyone else that is going on this journey! Everyone's recovery is different, but for me it was quite a breeze. I only took Oxycodone for the first 48 hours and stopped taking Tylenol by the end of the first week. I was back to work at my cafe job by the 6th day, although I was limited in doing certain things (mostly carrying heavy boxes and reaching). FYI: Walmart has a GREAT selection of sports bras that are inexpensive and very comfortable! I strongly suggest a few front zip ups! I will post more information with my photos.

*A little about my STATS:*
29 years old - no children
5'4 132lbs
Bra size prior to surgery: 32 A
Implants: 400cc HP silicone (under the muscle)

Day 2 Post-op

Day 2 was not really fun...definitely the worst of the pain I experienced but my pain overall wasn't horrible. The BLOAT IS REAL and it lasted the whole first week for me. I also had difficulty urinating for a few days after surgery (side effect of the anesthesia) and wasn't able to take a crap for 4 days! No nausea or vomiting though. My surgeon taught me a displacement exercise to use the first 2 weeks and a very gentle boob squeeze. My 2 week post op appointment is tomorrow so I'm sure he will provide me with more deeper massage techniques. Bandages came off on day 2 and I didn't use put anything on my incision sites, just washed them twice a day with antibacterial soap.

Day 3

My surgeon told me that if I felt comfortable to go without a bra, which is what I did for most of the first week. Gravity = implant dropping faster. Started Tylenol on day 3 which was all I needed for the pain.
