24 Year Old Asian, 5'1, 114lbs, under the muscle 350cc silicone moderate plus profile implants - Fort Worth, TX

Today I went in for my 5th week post op. I've been getting a lot more use to my breast but they still feel kind of foreign to me from time to time. I have had a lot of dry skin on my upper body and sometimes very itchy too. Not sure if it's the medication or other causes. Sometimes at night it's hard for me to sleep because my boobs get really hard and it causes discomfort. But for the most part, my boobs are softing up and don't have too bad a case of morning boob any more. Driving has became easier and I pretty much have full range of arm motion back. I do have to keep reminding myself to stand up striaght because I tend to hunch over more without noticing because of heavier boobs. Ok so at post op, Dr. Strock told me I'm cleared for mild cardio and lower leg workout; but no weights or upper body workout. I'm off of my dreaded compression band!! Yay!

So during this time I would say the most discount is from the swelling of the breast and also wearing the compression band. The swelling of the breast resulted in the heaviness of the breast and the strain it put on my back. I couldn't get up off the couch without someone helping me up by pushing me to sit up. The compression band was also discomforting because it put so much pressure on my incision since I got the incision cut under my arm ( that was Dr. Strock's specialized incision point, although he could perfect any incision site). I stopped taking my Oxycodone after the first day just because I didn't want to be all drugged up. I took my muscle relaxer here and there but completely stopped after the 4 or 5 day. The rest of the medication were required to take. Showering was a lot super hard, especially trying to wash my long hair. This was due to the fact that I couldn't raise my arms and because my incision was fairly new. I took extra precaution so I didn't shower until the 5th day, just clean my body with a wet hand towel, but had my friend help me wash my hair. I didn't start eating normal until the 3rd day and even then, it was hard to consume the same amount of food. I got better day by day and it became easier to do things and get up on my own. I went to see Dr. Strock again for my 1 week post op and he was pleased with the way my incision was healing and told me how important it was to keep weAring my compression band even if it is uncomfortable. He said the band would help me push my boobs down but also bring them closer together to minimize the gap between my breast. He cleared me to stop taking most medication so that I could start driving. He also told me to start doing small daily exercises of moving my arm to the side and slowly up so I can regain full motion in my arm. He just told me at the next appointment we can see about removing the surgical tape that was put on top of my incision. So I have 2 more days until my 2 week post op! Oh and I realized my boob is healing at different pace, one is smaller than the other due to the decrease in swelling!
