Almost 4 weeks Post Op
Okay so I've been healing good. However I still have to sleep on my back, but sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and I've rolled over on my breast and I get this ache of a pain.
I also don't wear the support bra because it's much to large. I've been wearing sports bras and other support bras. I've gone out a few times without my bra and I love the way my breast look! No complaints. I'm still healing below and I've noticed the I busted the seem on my stitch on my right breast. The stitch was actually poking through my skin. I read on real self that you have to have it removed or cut so that bacteria doesn't get on it, so I had it cut and I've been keeping that area clean. I'm not surprised it happen because oove around too much and I've picked up heavy items. I happen to be one of the blessed ones that heal fast. Taken my vitamins doesn't hurt. Last week was the first time I could push a vacuum without any pain at all. My breast have dropped and now I'm just trying to maintain where they are. I can't wait to start wearing bras with underwire in 3 weeks. It's important to protect your investment.

Day 13 Post Op Couldn't Be Happier
I love love love my new breast. Let's start off saying the pain was hell and inspite of it all I still love the way I look now.
My breast still ache at times but that will go away. I'm healing great. I just need to work on the scaring underneath my breast. You can tell in comparison to my last breast job that this one was better. Thank You Dr. Ortega!!!!????

Day 5 post op
So it's day 5 post op and personally I haven't felt good since I got home. I'm not in pain more so it's the codeine making me sick again. I have no appetite when I take it which makes me sicker.
Since I've been home I've really taken the time to clean my stitches well. There are some areas that stool need to heal that have a little discharge, but for the most part I'm healing nicely. My main concern is scarring. I'm applying neopsporien after I clean my breast with surgical grade antbacterial soap sold at Walgreens. I've also started using witch hazel on the already healed areas. As a word to the wise I always wear gloves to clean my wounds. This keeps germs away.
I also double up on vitamins and arnica for rapid healing. My lady surgery I had vet little to no scaring and I want to try and get close to the same results.
