-what my hubby thinks
Since I was in Vegas for PO days 1-2 it really felt like part of the surgery. So my recovery feels like it actually started day 3 post-op. We got home late wed night post op day 2 and got settled. My pup came home Post-op day 3 and was allowed up on the bed with me by day 5.
Pillows- My husband set up my wedge pillow and two regular pillows into a gradual slope that was comfortable for my back as the wedge by itself was too flat a slope to be comfortable but still so worth it as it would have taken more pillows than I own to make that much slope. The steep slope pillow with two pillows at my lower back also supported my back all the way down and gave me a solid surface to put my heating pad on. I also used my neck pillow (CVS) for as long as I used the wedge, about the first 3-4 weeks till I could sleep on my side again.
Meds/supplements- The first week I was on pain meds (with anti-nausea) and muscle relaxers around the clock. I was going to run out of the muscle relaxers before my 1 week check up so I paced myself a little. At the 1 week check up I asked about more meds, but my doc didn't think I should even need them anymore and wanted me to switch to ibuprofen now that I didn't have to worry about bleeding. Honestly, that was fine, I didn't want to get addicted and ibuprofen did just as well. I did use my last muscle relaxer on the way home from Vegas that day and only took my Percocet when the pain was particularly bad. After the first week I was also allowed to start back on my vitamin regimen, which included BCAAs and amino acids for recovery. I can't know how much it helped my recovery since this was my only BA and everyone is different but it certainly doesn't hurt.
Constipation- If this is TMI just skip this paragraph, but for those who want to know, here it is. I think every BA experience I have ever read had constipation. The combination of anesthesia, bed rest, and pain meds is enough to back anyone up. But I also have chronic problems with my digestion (Celiac, IBS, SIBO and chronic constipation), so I knew I would have issues. I bought the recommended smooth move tea and took my normal 1,000 mg of magnesium daily. For some people even that is too much help. For me, day 4 PO I still didn't have a bm (bowel movement). I was on my period starting 1 or 2 days post op. I use a menstrual cup for several years now and love it. One additional perk of a menstrual cup is you get very familiar with your anatomy and can tell when something is up. This month when I was taking my menstrual cup in and out I noticed my colon pressing into my vagina. That's not good. I was too constipated, so day 4 I did some research. Google was unanimous, if I went to the doctor they would manually evacuate and do an enema, or I could save myself some dignity and do it at home. This cleared some in my lower colon but I know from previous experiences with enemas it didn't do enough. So next I tried prune juice and milk of magnesia. I only had to do each of these once because milk of Magnesia really did the trick. I am even healthier now and since the Milk of Mag than I was even before my BA. So if Smooth Move tea and magnesium supplements don't work for you, you know what to try. Also, I know it isn't fun but don't let constipation go too long before addressing it. I couldn't have skipped the manual evacuation and enema because I was so impacted...ie my poop was so piled up and dry it was creating a block. You can always try an enema first without the manual evac though. Just don't build up pressure from taking too many oral laxatives if you exit route is blocked! Or when in doubt see a GI specialist.
On Needing Help- My hubby took a week off of work to take take care of me and this is what I would recommend for arranging help, you may need less but I really needed help for that long and could have really hurt myself especially getting out of bed if I didn't have that help. Ask a friend or family member! That first week I could not get out of bed without help, everything else was manageable, but easier with help. I could go to the bathroom by myself thankfully. Showering was fine but it took me about a week to be able to wash my hair. My hubby was VERY happy to help with showering ;) I thought I was able to raise my arms really quickly, just a few days, vs a couple weeks of other people I heard. My husband also made me a daily checklist for my meds with times, what, and how many to take. He also used a 7 day pill organizer that we labeled with post its with 7 different pills, so everything was in reach and easy to open. The bottles were hard to open and knocked over easy. I also grabbed a small 1 foot square top, bed height table I had out of storage to put next to my bed, which was VERY helpful. It’s very hard to reach the night stand since it's so far back with all the pillows. The little table went right next to my bed for about a month and had everything I could need on it. I could reach by pivoting at my elbow, no reaching. My husband also made me food to just heat up while he was gone at work. I have heard other people just made food ahead of time.
No one noticed! - Now a huge part of this was that I used double-padded bra before BA religiously and don’t look much bigger in most clothes. If you wear padded bras already or slightly increase your padding a few months before surgery, almost guaranteed no one is going to notice. Went from a 38AA to a 38D (Now a 34DD or 36DD). I went to church 6 days after BA and wore a modest neckline but form fitting. Nobody seemed to notice. And it’s a very small church of about 30 on a big turnout for Sunday morning. Then 12 days after surgery was able to hide them from my mom. I played miniature golf with my hubby and my parents for my mom’s birthday and wore a button down. They didn’t notice either.
The main thing is not showing off the cleavage in front of certain people but ease into it. After that I felt more comfortable showing a little more each time. I hang out with a pretty conservative group, so I will keep it fairly modest for those outings but my husband made it clear he want to see these beautiful things! So anytime I can show more I am encouraged to! So glad I only told 2 people! I told my best friend and my aunt (who can keep secrets and I have a better relationship with than my mom). Telling my best friend was good for my sanity and as a married person sounding board and telling my aunt was because we spend a lot of time shopping and spending time together, so she would notice. It was also really helpful when at 2 weeks post op I went to garage sales all day and out to lunch with family. She did the driving and made sure I didn't over do it. With strangers I just said that I had just had surgery and couldn't lift and they were eager to help and didn't ask any questions!
Pain- I had a lot of pain, or at least more than I thought I would. Probably because my other health issues, which is fine. Pain I can deal with, especially since there was nothing wrong, it was just uncomfortable. I had a lot of pain that I called lightning bolts, where I would get a short shock of pain, this is usually nerves healing. I also had very sensitive nipples especially the first couple weeks! Since my doc said no bra when at all possible I had to wear very light loose clothing so nothing rubbed them. And got mad at my husband a lot when he touched them by accident. The worst pain was internally on the outside lower part of both boobs but worse on the right boob. I think there was more damage to the muscle or nerve there and it got reinjured if I even pulled upward on my skin. It's almost gone now but even at 6 weeks post op, my husband tried to be cute and pick me up by my waist to put me in bed and pulled up on my boobs and it reinjured it again. My boobs did also fart the first week or two, which was the implant moving around in the pocket. This was not loud at all!
Equipment- Well, I didn't need any post op recovery bra since my doc said no bras for the first 6 weeks or so to help them drop. However, I did get a boobie strap from my surgeon at my 1 week post op made by Isavela. This went on once or twice a day as long as I could tolerate it. I was not so bad at first but the pain snuck up on ya. I usually had it on while I was watching a movie or doing something else so I would be distracted. It goes on snug and then pull the part of the strap on your back as low as you can to pull your boobie down. For skin stretching I alternatively used Jenny Edens boobie butter (Eden Knows Implants) and Palmers Lotion for stretch marks (CVS). Some kind of moisturizing cream should go on 2x a day. I did twice a day and have no stretch marks! Jenny's is probably more effective but really oily and will leave grease marks on clothing (dawn was the only thing that got it out!) So I used lotion if I go out and Edens at home or at night with junk shirts or black bras. For my scars we bought Mepitac silicone tape ($20 Amazon) and Sientra’s Biocorneum Scar treatment ($55 my surgeon). I had medical tape on my scars the first week till my stitches knots were cut off at my one week follow up. The rest of my stitches dissolved. After 1 week I tried both the scar treatment my patient care coordinator recommended and Mepitac which was recommended all over realself and bustmob. The scar treatment was a gel that was applied directly to my scars and then had to dry and was applied 2x a day and was washed off. The Mepitac tape was cut from the roll and applied, staying on till it lost its stickiness (several days), is peeled off and a new strip is applied. I personally liked and ended up only using the Mepitac as it was was easier to apply and did a better job of protecting and smoothing my scars.
My hubby- Oh my goodness he loves them. He literally stops dead in his tracks if I am topless and can't get anything done until I cover them up. He really thinks they are stunning and loves them so much. He couldn't be happier, he was really looking forward them but they exceeded even his expectations. He thinks they feel real enough or better than real boobs and even liked the difference in hardness (different fill volumes) as it gives variety. He already loved my boobs before and I had to limit how much he could touch them, but now he really gets so much comfort from touching them (and I still have to limit him lol). Definitely a boob man!
I love them!

First 2 days Post-Op
When we got to the hotel my husband made a schedule for my meds and studied their interactions and max doses. So all I had to do was ask him for meds and he knew what and when I was allowed.
I was very, very thirsty for the first 2 days. My hubby had to give me the water as I couldn't reach anything. Think T-Rex arms. I used ice bags to help with swelling, we got these at Walmart on our way out of LA after hearing not fun story of leaking bags or hard to conform packs. These were perfect, round and could be filled with ice from the hotels ice machine. I used my jacket to hold them in place. I had no problems sleeping, though I definitely woke up when I was due for pain meds at 2 am and to use the restroom that first night. Thankfully, unlike other people I heard about, I had arm mobility very quickly. I was able to go to the bathroom by myself but did need help sitting up from bed to stand up and I couldn't reach anything on the nightstand, which required a reach or a twist. My hubby slept in the other bed the first night but was amazing at taking care of me. We usually sleep very close together and he often grabs my boobs in his sleep so he didn't want to risk hurting me. My surgeon even texted me the first night to give me his cell number if I had any problems and to see how I was doing. I said in a lot of pain but everything was as I expected.
The next morning my husband went down to the breakfast buffet that was included with our room and got me an omelet, fruit and potatoes. Nothing too greasy. A straw was also super important and though we did think of that a bendy straw was a game changer as the cup was hard to angle and I got spilled on once. Get a bendy straw! Our 1 day follow up appointment was at about noon and that's when I got the bandages removed! I was thrilled with my first look and my hubby took pictures. He figured out a long time ago how to take and store private folders that are very protected. He takes most, if not all, my photos for me. I was in more pain than I thought I would be especially the bottom outside corners of my breasts. So he asked if I could come back in one more day to make sure nothing was wrong. So I did. We booked another night at the hotel, slept a lot, and repeated the day before, only the hubby slept in the same bed with me this time. I wanted him closer and I was up on the wedge so I didn't think he would hurt me. Then just meds, sleep and omelet in the morning. I also had a barf bag handy at all times, a heating pad as my shoulders hurt and were very sore, and lots of pillows. Ginger chews also helped a lot with nausea. My husband had to do my hair that first day post op and tried to do a fancy hair do to have me look my best with a french braid. It was pretty comical.. and very messy lol. Next time he gets to practice pre-op ;) he was bummed about it looking messy but I had to remind him I have had lots of practice and this was his first time! Next day, I still hurt but there was no brusing or hematoma, so I talked to the surgeon about a higher pain meds. I had a lot of bad injuries as a kid and grew a tolerance to vicodin, so it doesn't work as well now. So he switched me from Norco to Percocet. Doc said he wanted them to drop quickly that I wouldn't need a revision surgery to get them in place, so no bra for the first 6 weeks! Not even a sports bra! I have seen his beautiful results so I trust him completely. Though I did wear light things to cover my nipples post-op because I was self-conscious or bease of how sensitive my nipples were. My nipples were quite pointy. Them having the most extra skin, the rest of my boob skin was stretched to the max, so my little pre-surgery boob contents were sqeezed on top of the implant and filled my nipple. This did go away though as my boobs stretched out. They also did give me a thin post-op bra that came off before I even left the place it was so uncomfortable. I realized later I was so sensitive because of nerve pain. Doc gave the ok and I got to go home! Thankfully, the pain with small bumps in the road went away by the ride home two days post-op. Since I was only wearing a light jacket up top, it was really easy to flash the hubby and watch his eyes get huge on the dark ride home :) I love having boobs! I told my surgeon they were the prettiest boobs I have ever seen! He laughed and said they will get better, I still did have frankenboob but I saw enough post op pics to know these were going to look amazing! Very excited!!

Surgery!
I had a short wait then was taken into the prep room. Then I met all the surgery staff, got marked up by my surgeon and we went over one last time what I wanted. A nurse gave me my IV, changed into a gown, did the manditory pregnancy test and was good to go! I was amazed how cheerful and energetic everyone was. I was the last surgery of the day after a full day of surgeries and these people were more perky than me on my best day. You could tell they all really loved what they do. My anathesiologist was a little more serious but still nice, which both parts I was thankful for. He asked me about one of my medications and advised me to stop it for 2 weeks. It wasn't on the list of medications to avoid, so I appreciated his attention to detail. He knocked me out quick. Next thing I knew I was talking to the recovery nurse. All I remember from him was Him saying my husband was going to be very happy. Which made me feel great! Not that my boobs are for my husband, but my nurse being a good looking guy, speaking from a man's perspective and having seen a LOT of boobs, I figured it was a very good sign! The same recovery nurse had been giving my husband updates through the surgery and got my husband when I was done. I was shivering A LOT and was in more pain than I expected. My husband was already there and gave me a kiss... which I made him keep doing since it was the only thing that stopped me from shaking! I was wrapped in an ace bandage but my husband eyes just about bugged out at the size of my bulge lol. He was so giddy and was very happy knowing something big was under there. My surgeon came over for my debriefing and said it went very well, the diesections were very clean and I barely bled. Best of all he was able to fit the biggest size we ordered! I got 550 in my left and bigger breast and 590 to get my right and smaller boob to match it! Yay! I did not want to get up but had to get dressed, into the car and to the hotel. The ride to the hotel and around vegas for the next two days was painful, every bump jiggled my boobs and hurt... a lot. And my husband drives ambulances, so he was driving very carefully and it still hurt. We had already scoped out the closest parking, back entrance and shortest route to the room at the hotel and went straight up without being seen almost at all. The Westgate was great, inexpensive but high class and comfy. I usually go for the cheapest but we really wanted no smoke and a very clean room, so a little pampering was appropriate. My pillows, wedge and blankets were waiting and boy was I ready for some pain meds. The rest of the day was a blur.
