It's been a while!
I haven't been active on Realself much lately, but figured I would dump lots of post-op progression pictures here! The healing process was slower and more painful than I imagined it would be. I vomited a few times on day 5, and the compression bra was KILLER. My chest already felt constricted due to the implants, and that bra only made it worse. I managed to drive and go back to work on day 7, but felt fatigued and easily tired for a few weeks after the surgery.
Around 2 months PO, I had some worrying pain that I thought could be the onset of CC. My PS prescribed Accolate and saw me right away. It turned out to be nothing, thank goodness. He cleared me to go braless (YES!!!!) and I'm so much more comfortable now that I'm out of that damn compression bra.
Currently, I'm a bit more than 3 months out and I think the implants were absolutely worth it, and one of the best decisions I've ever made about my body. Dr. Steely did a beautiful job and I feel great about my new breasts. They are the perfect size for my body, and not obviously fake. I hope to enjoy them for years to come :)

Wow you look great, they look really natural, and you ended up with fantastic cleavage! I had a similar journey with lots of pain and longer recovery. Its wonderful getting to the other side! :) Enjoy them x

Thank you, that means a lot to hear! Isn't it great when the recovery is over and we can finally look back and say "yes, it was all worth it!"

Hey hun hope everything's all good with you and your new boobs! :) I've just had 270cc and we had agreed on 300 before but once on the table the 300 just didn't fit similar to you, I'm curious to know what your bra size is now they have settled etc? Xx

Hi Jane! How funny that we both had the same issue. I definitely had points throughout my recovery where I thought they were way too small, but now, I think they're perfect. I wore a 32A pre-op, and now I wear a 30D. Do you know when you'll get sized for a bra? I think I was allowed to wear a regular bra around 3-4 weeks post op :)

Post-op day 2
Here are some pics taken 2 days after surgery (I'm counting surgery day as 'day zero')
I feel like they're changing already and starting to look more natural! Or maybe it's just the different lighting. I'm excited for them to drop and fluff some more. Hopefully they'll get a tiny bit further apart, as they are nearly touching at the moment! Also, sorry for the grossness, but the constipation is real. I look so bloated and pregnant. I had not pooped in days D:

Don't feel bad! I get the bloat and poop. I have IBS and I am pretty much a vegan so I usually go 3-4 times a day and I my bought still softener. By day 2 asked for ExLax and day three started going. The bloat lasts for about a week or so and I still take a stool softener in the evening just to be sure while I am healing up. Stopped pain meds two days after surgery switched to Tylenol for a couple. I am glad you are happy!

Thank you for the kind words, and the tips!! I will try to take a laxative next, as the stool softener alone hasn't helped much. :o I'm impressed that you switched to Tylenol so early on, you're tough! I still want the strong pain meds right now.

They look great too!

The first two days were very painful! I was like oh wow! But not worse than child birth. At the hospital I was a little embarrassed because at one point I asked for more meds! It will get better I promise! You will wake up and be like wow Ahhhhh. Plus pain meds give me crazy dreams and they are almost too much fun so I wanted to get off quick! Hang in there
