Wow, I just wrote a huge post and my laptop shut down for updates. I lost it all! So this will be more brief...
I will be at three weeks post-op this Thursday. Life has moved on and been back to "normal" for a couple of weeks. I wish that I could have taken more time to heal, but I am a single mom with two young girls and I have had to lift them and just deal with everything! I was back at work day 4 and without help by day 6. But to anybody else that is in this situation, it is ok and I have survived and it has been such a blur! I feel discomfort around the incisions, but it is not debilitating. Just background discomfort. How long does this last?
I have been having this raw, burning, stinging feeling inside of my left boob when I shift positions at night. It feels like the implant is rubbing up against a raw wound inside when I change positions. It does not happen during the day, though. Just while I am sleeping. Does anybody else ever feel this? Is this normal? It takes my breath away because it is so intense. I am hoping that it will go away soon! I miss my sleep! This used to happen when I would sit up straight from a 45 degree angle and it was much worse, but it went away by 7 days. This is just lingering.
Next Q... for anybody that had a donut lift or an areola incision, do my scars look normal for two and a half weeks? I know I am being impatient, but as long as I know I am normal, I won't fret! I have my third post-op appointment tomorrow, so I can bring all this up.
Also, I feel like my areolas are not even. I had my PS cut them down in size a bit, but they don't seem like perfect circles anymore. It might just be me and I am super nit-picky! It doesn't really bug me that much, but it would be good for a second opinion.
When does all the pain go away for good? I am ok, and I don't really notice it during the day, but I am tired of background discomfort! I am also too scared to go to the gym just yet. When I jog from in the parking lot from the car to the store, it feels weird and my boobs feel stiff. I would only do the the eliptical anyway, but it still makes me nervous.
Has anybody gone tanning at all since surgery? I know they say it is bad for the scars, but what if I wore a bikini top? I know, tanning is bad for me anyway, but I love going when it is 5 degrees here!
I guess when all is said and done, I am not in a super big hurry for them to look perfect because I am not sexually active. I am the only one that sees them. I get so busy, that I go days without really looking at them sometimes! I can't wait for life to slow down a bit and I can enjoy them more! My boyfriend and I are waiting to get married, so I have some time for them to look perfect! I appreciate everybody's comments and everything, this website is so helpful! Oh, one more thing, I wish I had gone for Ultra high profile instead of just high profile. Sigh. Oh well. I still love them. : )

I had some intense bruises show up on day 5 that are quite painful and ugly. How long do they usually stay? I know bruising is normal so I'm not worried, but it will be much more comfortable without the bruises! They are on the outer breast, around the crease area.

I have so much to say, but such little time! I have been back to work now for three days. I even took my muscle relaxer and percocet when I got to work and I was just fine. I still haven't been driving, since I'm taking pills still. I feel good tonight, minimal discomfort. This morning was super painful, though. I have been overdoing it so I got more swollen and bruised and had more pain. I had the stitches taken out this morning! They put new brown tape around the nipple, over the incisions, and it has to stay on for one more week. After that, they will be completely free! It was pretty uncomfortable and made me a bit nauseous, but I can't really say that it was painful. This was my second post op visit, and tomorrow is my one week anniversary with the new boobs. The Dr said they look really great for one week and I should be happy. And believe me, I am ! I posted a ton of pics that I took tonight. I am allowed and actually encouraged to wear underwire now. The dark bra in the pics is a $15 Target bra with slight underwire. It is comfy! I am going to wait another month or two to buy cute bras that are more expensive. As of right now, I am a 32/34 DD in normal bras, 32/34 DDD in VS bras. Enjoy the pics! I am so happy!
