2 Weeks Post-Op Today :)
Can't believe it has been 2 weeks since I got my boobies :)
I see little changes here and there, but they are still pretty round & higher than I'd like. Hoping that my upper pole gets more sloped as time goes on...but definitely don't want them to look saggy...just less "bowling ball" like LOL!
There is still tightness in my skin and right still has that numb feeling at the top of my breast. Just noticed this morning that there's an irritating/uncomfortable feeling on top of my right breast. It's kind of like this rough/burning sensation if I touch that area. I'm not sure if it's because I'm starting to regain feeling there? Also feel tension on the top right breast area when I bend over or slightly stretch my chest so I can take a big breath. Can Mondors cord form at the top of the breast? I've always seen it my the breast fold but it almost feels like one is forming on top of my right boob? Last night, I also noticed that there is some sensitivity and pain on my bottom left rib cage (toward the center), especially is I take a deep breath in or if I apply some pressure on it. Never had this pain before so not sure it I should be feeling this at 2 weeks out? I examined that area to see if there was any bruising or discoloration but nothing.
I started my post op massages last week, but they are still kind of difficult to do because everything still feels tight. These past 3 days, I've been popping a 200mg Advil before I start my massages and that has helped a bit. Both my nipples and the areas surrounding them are super sensitive right now and there is always this cooling sensation so I always have "headlights" LOL! It feels like I'm constantly in a walk-in freezer and my nipples are always erect!
I still experience morning boob but it quickly goes away and I'm so happy that I can get off the couch or bed by myself now without it taking me FOREVER! I still have to watch the position I'm in when getting off the couch of bed because I'm afraid of putting too much pressure or strain on 1 arm. It kind of feels like my left boob is wider than my right and there is more tenderness in my left armpit.
Tomorrow will make a full week (5 days) since I've returned to work and getting back into the groove has been pretty easy. I have a job where I am at my desk on the computer and phone a majority of the time so nothing strenuous. My back and posture has been suffering though...it's still a bit difficult to sit at my desk without hunching over for long periods of time. I have a lumbar pillow that is attached to my office chair and that has helped a lot. I also try to take short walks to stretch, even if it's just around our little office space. Kind of weird but it's still difficult for me to take big, deep breaths in so what I do is I clasp my hands together and raise them up in the air. This seems to help open my lungs and allows me to take some really nice deep breaths :)
Nothing much more to report other than still being extremely happy with this decision and just waiting for healing to take its course :)

Patience is definitely not one of my virtues
Funny how I thought since I was having overs, I would come out of surgery thinking my boobs would look perfect. NOPE! Still have to go through the drop & fluff process. I hate waiting for results but I don't think I can do much in this matter LOL!
Sorry for the delayed post
Sorry for the delayed post, boobie friends! I made it through surgery...with bigger boobs :)
Surgery & recovery has been amazing! I took 10 days off from work and wanted to really let my body heal so I've only been posting updates on my boob journey instagram account since I can do those posts from my cell phone. I didn't want to get the laptop out at all.
My surgery was on June 12th. I had to be at the hospital at 6:30am so I was wide awake by 4am. My mom was able to get the day off from work and dropped my sister and I off at the hospital while she went back home to make me some chicken & rice porridge for me to eat after my surgery. I am so happy that my sister was with me. I was super duper nervous and even contemplated rescheduling or canceling my procedure LOL! The intake nurses at the hospital were so nice. They were all Filipino and one of them was even from the same town as my mom. They sensed my fear and tried to make me laugh the whole time. My sister was able to sit with me while they gave me my IV and until I was wheeled off to the surgical waiting room.
At around 7:15am, I said goodbye to the intake nurses and my sister. I was then wheeled into the surgical waiting room where I go to meet my Anesthesiologist. He was a great guy and he also tried to make me laugh. We went over medical history questions and signed a few consent forms. Dr. Shah arrived shortly thereafter and did his makings on my chest. At approximately 7:40am, Dr. Shah said we were ready to rock and roll and that he'd see me in the OR. I began to get really nervous at this point and began to tear. My Anesthesiologist came in the room and told me that he wouldn't leave my side and that he'd monitor me for the entire time to make sure I was well taken cared of. He then told me that he was going to give me something via IV to make me relax & feel better. I was wheeled to the OR and when the double doors swung open, all I could see was bright lights, machines, and about 4-5 people all dressed and covered in hospital gowns. That is the last thing I remember before waking up ... with BOOBIES!
I woke up with very minimal pain, just extreme tightness to my chest. I was so happy that I was not nauseous AT ALL! That was the thing that worried me because I hate the feeling of throwing up. A male nurse was sitting next to me and said, "Hi there! Would you like some ice chips?". I looked around and I was no longer in that room with the bright lights. I gladly accepted the ice chips and it soothed my throat which was a bit scratchy due to the breathing tube they had to insert while I was under. He asked me how I was feeling and took my blood pressure reading. He said that my blood pressure was just a tad bit high and asked if I was experiencing any pain. I told him not much but had some discomfort. He told me he would give me just a little more pain medication to take the edge off. I didn't protest to that at all. I laid in that room for a while then the nurse said it was time to bring me back to the pre-op room because I had a whole party waiting to see me. I was wheeled back to the same room as when I arrived and was so happy to see my sister and my mom waiting for me :)
The intake nurses said they were so happy to see me come back with a smile. They helped me put my clothes on and took the IV out. They gave my mom and sister some instructions and we were on our way home.
The ride home was fine, my mom drove very slow and took the route that we pre-planned (to avoid as many bumps and potholes as possible). We got home and I was greeted at the door by my 15 year old son. He was thrilled that I was in good spirits and didn't look like I was in very horrible pain. I was able to walk from the car to the couch on my own but couldn't stand up straight because of the pressure and tightness on my chest when I stood up.
My mom made me her yummy porridge and I had a bowl so I could take my prescription pain meds and antibiotics. I did good for a while but after a few minutes felt nauseous and threw up. Thank goodness I prepared a small trash can ahead of time. After that, I felt great again. That was the first and last time I look the oxycodone pain meds. I just stuck to 500 mg Tylenol every 4-5 hours and I was fine.
My husband came home from work and was surprised to see me doing so well. My whole house knows I'm such a baby that they too prepared for the worse LOL! He has been super duper helpful and loves my new additions! I went through all my old bikinis and bras yesterday so I could see which ones I could still keep and which ones I'd donate and he was having a ball! He LOVED how my old bikini tops fit now. I had to remind him that they were waaaaay to small for me now (as they were only covering my nipples) but he told me they looked AMAZING and that I should still keep them (but of course they all ended up in the donation pile...except for a white Ed Hardy bikini that I will keep and put on incase I ever get boobie greed LOL). The hubby is in absolute love with my new shape and wishes that I did this a looooong time ago. He can't keep his eyes or hands off me and I have to constantly remind him that they are not ready to be played with yet. I even tried to wear baggy shirts over my sports bras to try and deter his attention but apparently he loves seeing me and my new boobies in his t-shirts just as much as he does when I'm in a bikini top LOL!
There was very little to almost no bruising - just a small quarter size bruise at the tip of my incisions. I had a post-op appointment the very next day and 1 week after surgery. Doctor said everything is healing well and my next post-op appointment will be at my 3 week mark. There was a point when i thought I had gone too large and that I was starting to get a uniboob! My doctor reassured me that a uniboob wasn't forming and that it was just the swelling and tightness. I had cleavage to begin with pre-surgery so it is just more pronounced now with the bigger boobs LOL!
I started massages after 1 week post-op. I am still kind of freaked out when doing the massages because it feels like I'm going to pop my stitches. I am sure I am not massaging as aggressively as I should but I'm trying to ease into them slowly.
Yesterday was my first day driving and it wasn't too bad. I am back to work today and am so fortunate I have a job that is mainly at a desk all day. The hardest part right now is trying to sit with good posture :(
My chest is very heavy and tight right now. 5 more hours then I can go home and relax on my couch again :)
I am sooooooo beyond blessed that so far everything has been going so well. I can't believe how much I had worked myself up prior to surgery. It literally was a life changing experience that happened in the blink of an eye. One moment I was crying because I was deathly afraid of being put under, then the next moment, I am awake with boobies :) This recovery process will take some time, but so far so good!
I can't thank you ladies enough for sharing your stories on here and the support and friends I've made via instagram have been a godsend. At this point, I have no regrets what so ever :)
