I am now 4 days post op !! Wish I had started this review process early but ill try an recap. 23years old/56kg/162cm.
This surgery was my third and hopefully last for assymetry. First surgery was a reduction on my left breast when I was 17, 2 years later my right breast caught up - then had lipo on my right but it was always still a bit bigger. 4 years later and a lifetime of fluctuating weight finally caught up with my breasts when I lost weight to be where I am now at my healthy stable weight. I was left with empty breast. Not saggy according to my surgeon as the measurements from my collarbone to nipple were 18cm therefore he believed it could be fixed with implants alone. However he suggested the lollipop lift to improve the scarring from the reduction and also felt my breasts would look prettier with smaller areolar and if he was to do the periareolar lift I may get the puckering scar I was left with after the reduction.
So my surgeon and myself decided on lollipop lift with 200cc implants as I did not want larger breasts just a better naked shape with more upper pole fullness and perkier.
Post op day one and two was a blur of nausea and pain meds. My surgery was 7am and I stayed in hospital that day and night. My surgeon came and checked on me that evening and the next morning before discharge and all looked well.
Day 3...I was in a substantial amount of pain at home and felt like the left was more swollen than the right I called my surgeon and advised him of the swelling and what I thought was oozing so he called the hospital and told them to readmit me and then came in to visit me. He advised the swelling was normal and the ooze was actually old ooze which I could see once he changed the dressing for me. He advised me to stay the night in hospital just for pain management. Morphine injection helped a lot !
Day 4 .. woke up in hospital this morning with minimal pain so was discharged back home. Have reduced the painkillers to much weaker meds and feel 100% better and the pain really is under control with minimal pain meds ! Still loving the results.

Day 5

I forgot to add they're silicone moderates!!
In other news my breasts themselves are not that sore in pretty much pain free just taking the odd anti inflammatory or paracetamol. My rib cage feels like it's taken a bashing and has swollen up greatly as has my entire abdomen really but I've got a photo to add of the swelling from the back !
Thank god for having my mum to help me through recovery - at the age of 23 she had to help in the shower yesterday and washed my hair for me ( I have hair that falls over breasts in length ) so it was tricky but I feel a million dollars after.
I'm still wearing the tubigrip I was put in after surgery but can't wait to be put into a more supportive bra- hopefully at my follow up appointment Friday. That way I can be up and walking round more as I'm terribly scared in gonna pile on the pounds.

Wow you're boobs look amazing so far, and well done on your weight loss! It's great to see another Aussie on here :)

Yes another Aussie :) I was actually reading your post yesterday and was relating to your concerns having the surgery pre kids ! I had the the exact same thoughts myself being 23. But at the end of the day I was terribly unhappy with my breasts now and it was really getting to my confidence and I just couldn't see myself living the next who knows how many years till have kids being unhappy. Good luck for your op !!

I am going to be having my breast implants and uplift with 200cc on Monday. It's good to see your recovery and hear how you found it, thank you, any tips or hints?

Feeling the after affects of the anesthetic and lpain meds.
baracciJuly 23, 2013
Today has been up and down but mostly down. Don't get me wrong I live my new boobies and don't regret a thing. But I am feeling so so sad all the time and just cry and cry for no reason. I spoke to the nurses at the hospital and believe its just unfortunate side effect of anesthetic for some people. I also was taking oxycodone and tramadol regularly for pain plus recieveing morphine injections but am now pain med free so I think it's a catching up with me and its a sort of 'come down' affect. Either way it's horrible but knowing its only temporary is reassuring. Kist putting it out there incase anyone feels the same :)
