I have about a 275 cc difference in my breast currently so im really excited to have the asymmetry corrected. Im also having a TT w/ MR and lipo. My surgery is scheduled for next Friday! I’m so nervous.

Congratulations!!! Your surgery is coming up fast! Hopefully you are staying busy to keep your mind from getting too nervous! Are you feeling pretty prepared with post op supplies? And have you lined up helpers/support from family or friends? I think that's the most important part. As long as you're reading other people's experiences, I think you'll have realistic expectations of the healing process. For me, it was way more mentally challenging than I expected (but less about pain, if that makes sense). I think its just so hard for us women to sit still and feel "unproductive" while allowing our bodies to heal! I'm 8 months post op and documented my journey pretty thoroughly, so feel free to read it and many others, if that helps! Looking forward to seeing your result!!!

Thanks! I am getting really antsy. I’ve got all of my supplies. I’m at a loss a bit for what to eat after? I don’t have a recliner, but I do have a zero gravity chair and one of those pillows with arms to lay against in bed. Only 1 more day!

Yay!!! I think the zero gravity chair will work great. As for what to eat, I liked having just small snacks since I didn't feel very hungry for the first few days after surgery (but definitely wanted to take something with pain meds). I pre-made some homemade soups before surgery to freeze and have my husband thaw/serve, and he also brought me things like: salad with chicken/veggies on it, protein shakes when I didn't feel like anything sounded good, applesauce or crackers for taking meds in the middle of the night, nuts/nut butter, etc. After a few days, I just ate what the rest of the family ate (whatever my husband or mom was making for dinner while taking care of me). I think as long as someone is there to help, it'll be fine! Scrambled eggs, toast, easy things!

I’m happy to report that I am flat side! I ended up with a 350cc moderate + on my left my small boob) and a lift, reduction and 275cc on the right. I haven’t seen them yet without a bra, so I’m pretty nervous. I also have no idea what my belly button l .

So here’s the details of the day, I had to be there at 5:30a with my procedure set for 7:30. Dr. Branch ran a bit late. He came in and drew the lines on me and a minute later I was wheeled in! I laid on the surgical bed an they mentioned they were giving me something to help me relax and that was it. I woke up, not in much pain but dizzy. I had a patch for nausea but it’s effects were awful! I’m still dizzy and seeing doing vision. All of my nurses were wonderful. They were so attentive!

So far this morning, the pain is tolerable. My incision is sore, and my breasts feel sore and full, a lot like being engorged while breastfeeding mixed with a REALLY intense chest workout. Would say my pain is a 3. It’s tough to get out of bed, but I’m just taking my time and trying to rest as much as possible. My breasts seem really far apart, I really hope they look better once the swelling goes down.
