Its just swelling, its just swelling. That's what I keep telling myself. I'm writing this with hopes of helping others. I know reading similar stories helped me be prepared and not completley freak out like I would have otherwise. Ok so I'm 20 hours post op. I had saline implants inserted under the muscle. I also had scar revision from a previous anchor lift that left residual areola tissue. I am 110 lbs and was given pain meds on a empty stomach. Huge mistake! Nausea out weighed any pain. I switched to 2 tylenol and 1/2 valuim this worked wonders. My pain is about a 3-4. After sleeping awhile I woke up with about a 7-8 pain so I grabbed my ice pack and took 1/2 each of the norco and valuim. It is helping with no nausea. I will post 10 hour post ops because the though of undressing right now is unbearable. The swelling has increased since the 10 hour photos though.
Im concerned the DR used to many cc's. I wanted to stay in the 325-375 range but he used 425!! Anyone else have this problem? If so how did it work out? Best of luck to all and hope this helps someone. More updates soon...

Still swollen and wish morning boob would end. Started the massages today and it was unpleasant with the vertical sutures. Wouldn't ya know that there would be redness around the sutures on a Sunday when the PS office is closed. My areola look very deformed but I'm really hoping they round out and smooth out once the swelling goes down.

The 425cc look great on you, I am sure if you went smaller you would have ended up regretting it. Also remember that having them sub-muscularly makes them appear smaller. So no need to worry. Happy healing

Thank you! I'm 1 week post op today. I get so discouraged at times because they are so swollen and up so high. I'm not being very patient hahaha! I think i can blame some of my bad days on the fact that my boyfriend left the night before the surgery. Its been a little difficult to go though this without his support but I have done it without him and will continue to be fine i'm just sad I don't have him to talk to. Ok enough talk of obvious idiots that let good girls get away.... Back to boobs. Even though the incision sites look a little gross right now I'm so happy with them. I hated and I mean hated all the residual nipple tissue I had from the lift I had done years ago. I think I added a before picture somewhere so if any girls getting a lift or revision could see. Still having morning boob which is terrible but I'm not taking anymore of that pain medicine. I hate the pain meds. I did start drinking pineapple juice and started using arnicare gel I hear they both help with swelling. I will let you guys know if this actually helps. Happy healing everyone and good luck to all future new boobs.
