One week post op today
WORTH IT$8,980
Today I saw my doctor for my one week follow up. My right breast looks AMAZING!! However, my left breast, when he removed the steri strips had a blister surrounding my areola. It oozed a little and he told me there was no sign of infection but he gave me a prescription for silvadene to put around my areola twice daily. I'm freaking out a little because my areola is very scary looking and I don't want an infection, trying to calm myself down has not worked to this point. Trying to remain positive and remember why I did this! Anyone have anything like this happen before? The picture I'm attaching is AFTER applying the silvadene.

Day 2 update!
For the most part I'm feeling pretty good. The worst parts are the incisions under my breasts and where the drains go in. I'm running a very low grade fever, nothing to be concerned of yet. I couldn't be anymore pleased with how my breasts look at this point. I'm going about 12 hours between pain pills now because honestly the pain isn't as bad as I had built up! If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask!

Congratulation!!! My BR surgery is 3/31 and I'm so excited! My size before is similar to your before too. What side did you tell your surgeon to go down to?
I told him I'd like to be a full C cup and he told me I would probably end up a D because of how large I was to begin with. I am very pleased with my results so far! Wishing you all the best on your upcoming surgery!!
oh too funny! My surgeon said the same thing. He said i'm likely too big now to go down to a C. But i guess i can hope. Thank you :)
How many grams did your PS take out? You look great!
He took out 5.25lbs!
Oh wow! I bet you feel better already!
Every day it gets better. I am approaching 5 weeks post op. Other than one small blister that I've had to deal with I feel great and you will too!
Right now I'm in the itchy phase! It's driving me insane! Plus these drains are driving me a little crazy!
Thankfully my date was pushed up by my doctor so I got my drains taken out today. Hang in there even after they are taken out you will still feel lots of pressure for the next day is what my doctor told me and so far has been right I'm happy their out but I don't feel that great.

Day of treatment
All done!!!!!!
I was released from the hospital around 1:30 and I feel fabulous! The worst pain is where he did the liposuction on my sides and where the drains are. I was hoping to be one of the lucky ones not needing drains but I'm just glad it's over! I haven't gotten to see them yet but they are so perky I can't believe they're mine! I have a follow up tomorrow to change bandages so maybe I can sneak some pictures. Thank you for all the comments and well wishes, you ladies are the best!!!
