27y/o, No Kids, Always Wanted a Fuller Bust - Coral Gables, FL

The surgical assistant did my breast check up yesterday. He said by today I should stop taking the oxycodone and the muscle relaxant and just take 800mg of Tylenol.

For my check up at 10:30am yesterday I didn't take anything other than the antibiotic and muscle relaxant. 

Today, I woke up at 7 and was in and out of sleep. I took the muscle relaxant because I felt the muscles in my chest tensing along with my antibiotics. 

Roughly at 11am I put on the band that pushes the implants down.... this is a different kind of torture. It pushes the implants together and down, I don't even have it that tight!



In summary what I was told during my post operative review was, I have very little bruising which is good. I should start moving my arms around and tie my hair etc so the muscles get used to the movement again. He told me I could shower, just make sure I dry the tape covering the stitches with a hair dryer on "cool". My implants are a tad high, but not by much, so to wear the breast band until our next appointment in a week. 





Oxycodone (pain killer) is an opioid which is highly addictive. So are benzodiazepines (the muscle relaxant) knowing this, you all need to be self-aware of creating a dependency on these drugs. Both of these drugs can make you feel depressed so you need to be careful. 





That being said, I only take the oxy when the pain is so bad I can't breathe. Other than that I don't take it. The muscle relaxant I take only after the 8hr window as per instructions on my RX and gauge whether I take it if I feel muscle contractions.

When can I start massaging my breasts? They're so sore! I'm afraid to touch them because I don't want to mees with their placement.
I am terrified of them bottoming out.

Good evening ladies. I had surgery today at 11am. By 11:45am Dr. Krau came in for a final review. He decided to do the implant through the Breast crease (under the boob) rather than through the nipple.  I wasn't too bummed out, because now he wouldn't need to cut through the Mamet ducts and there's a likely chance I can breastfeed later.  The reasons he provided were that I had a lot of breast tissue and it would be best in his opinion to go through the breast crease. He also stated there's less of a risk of capsular contracture, have you all heard of that being true? Over all, I am fairly pale, my breasts rarely see the sun and the times I have scarred their appearance is minimal. So let's see that the scarring looks like once I go to my follow up on Monday.  I plan, when granted the clearance, to massage them (despite the discomfort) and when I massage them, to do it with vitamin E oil and LOTS of shea butter etc.  SO how do I feel? Fine. If you all work out, this feels like I over did it on chest workouts and now I'm sore. The percocets help, I am constantly in and out of sleep. I'm super dehydrated from last nights fast, while in the office my body went through 2 IV bags.
