7 Day Post Op Appointment
On Thursday I had my 1 week post op appointment at the Plastic Surgeon's office. This was really my first big outing since the op, so I was a bit slow walking around initially and a few bumps on the train felt a little uncomfortable, but once I was used to it, it wasn't really too uncomfortable at all.
At the appointment, I first went and saw Nicole who looked over the new additions, then removed the dressings and cleaned them. I was nervous to see the incisions for the first time, but they were healing really well, and seemed nicely put together (thank goodness!). She then simply put tape strips over them, which will need to be changed once or twice a week so I can wash the incisions. After this I was fitted with my sports bra, I get two berlei bras to wear (no extra cost), in black and white, and I'll live in these for the next 8 weeks whilst my breasts heal and take shape. They aren't really as comfortable as the crop top, but are definitely a lot more supportive in regards to moving around and bending over to pick things up. The band sits in an unfortunate position that rubs the incisions a little, but that just means I need to adjust it every now and then.
I also got given little bag with a no-soap body wash for cleaning the incisions, extra tape, post op care booklet, and even a gift voucher for a skin treatment at the clinic, which I thought was so cute!
Dr McManamny, came in after a while and checked over them as well, and happy with the outcome, and as I didn't have any questions as the time, continued on his way.
The appointment overall, went well, but I did forget to ask about massaging the implants, which another booklet I have, says I need to do. So I'll probably call them next week for more info on that.
Also, I'm starting to lay a little on my side, not completely, but sort of propped against pillows, gives me a bit of relief from being on my back all the time!
Until next time!

Day #5 post op
My incisions have been a little bit sore the past few days, which I hadn't experienced early on. And I'm gaining a tiny bit of feeling back on certain parts of my breasts, so maybe that all just comes with that.
They still feel heavy, and sleeping on my back is killing me. But I love them and their shape so much, and am super happy with my decision to get this done.
Tomorrow is my 1 week post op appointment, so I'm looking forward to that and having a look under the dressings, to see how the incisions are healing.
I'll write an update and post some photos then!

Dr McManamny is not only a fantastic surgeon, but has been a real pleasure to deal with though out my surgical journey! Doug has so much experience, and takes the time to make sure you are comfortable with all decisions. He is supported by the wonderful Nicole, who is his practice nurse. Both have been sure to really take the time to explain things in detail and go over anything that has worried me or I haven't understood. Now I have completed my surgery and am recovering, but even my result at this point is a phenomenal change and I know I made the right choice by going with Doug for my case!
