After the removing of the plasters: 9 days post
1st post-op appointment
I had the one week appointment with my surgeon this morning. Everything looks perfect to him , the healing process is going really well and he said that I already look like 1 month post op (pain wise and in terms of softness) even though it's only been 9 days since the procedure !
He clearly was exaggerating to communicate his enthusiasm regarding the result but, I do feel fine and I'm content with the outcome so far.
Still, in pictures, some details are more eye catching like my nipples looking different ways, my right breast still swollen and high and tense, the difference in shape and volume and position of the too boobies healing and dropping at different paces. But quite frankly none of it is that obvious in reality so I just remind myself that I'm not even 2 weeks post so my job is to keep it easy and stay positive at that point !
So, following my surgeon's recommendations, there's no need for the bandage/plaster anymore, starting tonight I won't sleep in my surgical bra (yeeaaay!), I'll start the massages tomorrow (a very simple exercice: just pushing "the girls" together gently a few times until they touch each other), and in two weeks I'll have to massage the scar as well with a cream he prescribed.
No sport for another couple of weeks though... arrrgh. So I guess I'm not really healed like a one month post, uh !

Surgeryyyyy dooooone !
I got out of the hospital yesterday morning. I spent the night over there after the surgery which took place on the 25th around 2pm. I think I was fully awake from anesthesia around 5pm though... It seemed I didn't want to wake up asap! My mother and boyfriend were waiting for me in my hospital room and so when I finally opened my eyes I didn't even think about the op or my (new) boobs I was just so eager to see them, I instantly asked the nurses what time it was and to be brought back to my room... It felt so good to be surrounded by them. I planned for so long to do this on my own but I must say that having the support of (some of) your loved ones is really incredibly helpful.
During the night at the hospital the pain woke me up nearly every hour and I had to call in the nurses several times so they could gave me some kind of morphine and paracetamol to help with the pain.
But that wasn't the worst part. I have to say, because during all my research and real self-stalking I never read anything about it, the worst part for me was : the withdrawal of the drains. I almost fainted and most definitely cried like a baby... MY GOD. I didn't expect anything like that. The sensation was straight out of hell awful. I didn't realize that those tubes were hidden 20cms inside of me and that after one night they would literally stick to my insides and wouldn't want to be pulled out....
Just thinking about it still makes my hair stand up. But it was really just the matter of a few minutes... and over.
Now at 2 days post op, I feel OK. The pain is not killing me at all, I just feel the pressure on my chest. I'm not smoking since the day before surgery and I'm hoping to stick to that new habit for a bit. ;) I'm really excited and happy with the early result and I'm looking forward to see the volume decrease in the upper pole to match my idea of a more natural look.
I'm so happy and proud that I went through it !
Happy healing to all of you <3 and to myself :)
