How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Real self says you can edit the title when you first create the review but I couldn't figure out how! So...
My Dr. recommended Natrelle Inspira SRM during pre-op appt and post op told me he chose 304cc, so that's what I posted. I remembered that Inspira SRM didn't come in random numbers like 304 and during my 1st post op I got "the card" showing I had Natrelle style 15 304cc. I trust he knows why he did that and I haven't given it much thought...so just an FYI!

Day 5
I had my first post op appointment yesterday (day 4) and it was very quick. Old gauze was removed, the Dr. Looked at them, asked me how I was feeling, and gave them a squish. I was most nervous about the squish but it wasn't bad at all, especially since they are still partially numb. He put new gauze on and I'll be seeing him again on day 11. He would usually see me on day 7 but I'm going back to work and he was very flexible! I'm mostly taking Tylenol but not even regularly. My mom left today so I'm on my own! I'm allowed to drive tomorrow and based on how I feel today I think it'll be just fine :) I can't wait for them to get to their final stage!
I don't know why I didn't listen to my good judgement and I didn't buy Colace or a stool softener to take regularly. I thought ehhh prune juice will do it! Well I'm sure it helped but not enough-get both! I'm surprised they didn't recommend it at the office. The coordinator actually told me no laxatives. And I thought to challenge this with suggesting stool softener and mentioning the constipation after the strong pain meds but I held back. There is no reason anyone should suffer. LOL. There were a few things in the post op directions that contraindicated each other but I digress...

Day 2
This is my first full day but I'll call it day 2 so it doesn't get confusing. (I had surgery around 12pm yesterday). I woke up early and spent the day out of bed more than in. I took a nice nap in the afternoon. I have Bromelain, Arnica, and Vitamin C as suggested by the office and I've been taking pain meds as prescribed to stay ahead of the pain. If I didn't feel too sore when it was due, I took it anyway. The soreness comes and goes with activity. So if I'm sleeping and really still, I wake up feeling stiff. A little neck rolling and slowly straightening up my back helps. Honestly my throat hurts more than my breasts when I wake up though. I wanted to give myself at least a good 2 days of healing on a good pain control regimen, then see if I want to space the Vicodin out some more or switch to Tylenol. With that comes being bloated. I bought prune juice before surgery and I've had about 32 oz already! Sorry if this is TMI but I find it important so I'll keep it simple lol...I'm feeling some movement going on but no luck yet. Although I've been out of bed I probably need to walk more to wake my system up quicker.
Today I felt some tiny, tiny zaps around the areola. My mom said she'd felt those too when she had her BA. It made me a little nervous but I don't even think I could call it pain so I let it go. Not much change that is noticeable in pictures so I'll post more a few days down the line.
I'm not allowed to fully shower for 7 days to avoid wetting the incisions so I had a modified lower body shower and sponge bath with my mom's help. I felt great!
Tip: before discharge, have your caretaker note if your dressing are clean or bloody and how much. Ask if more blood appears, when should you be concerned? My mom happened to notice the blood before leaving but I totally didn't think of that! When I looked in the mirror at home it hit me that I'd have no clue when the blood showed up so thank goodness she checked!
