325cc Full Profile Natrelle INSPIRA SoftTouch on 5’4 and 117lbs Girl

I got my BA yesterday morning. I was in pain for the rest of the day but managed. Today is a little better, I can sit up and down easily.
I have a roster of 6 medicines to take daily and that includes acetaminophen, whic is helping greatly.
My right breast is fine, I barely feel anything there, but my left one is pretty sore and painful.

I had multiple consultations last year and I had two surgeons in mind, I eventually went with Dr Andry because her instagram was very informative and she posted a bunch of patients results I really liked.

My boyfriend drove me to the medical center and had to come in with me to check in as my designated driver. When I was taken to my bed area, the nurses took my vitals and started my IV, and the anesthesiologist came in to tell me what would happen in the OR. Lastly, dr Andry came in to draw the lines on my chest.
I only remember entering the OR, and then waking up in a different room. Doc was there and she told me everything went well.

Driving home, I gulped some gatorade with a straw as I hadn’t had any water since the night before, and unfortunately I vomited it after a fee minutes (reminder to have a plastic bag in the pick up car).

I had normal appetite for the rest of the day, and ate healthy food. I can’t wait to shower, the paperwork says to wait 3/4 so it’s body wipes for now.

I think I’ll be happy with the results. I hope I won’t get the infamous boob greed, but I need to keep in mind that I started from zero boobs so this will only be an improvement.

I’ll come back with updates and video to show jiggliness in a few weeks.

I’m 6 days post-op! I can’t wait to have my first post op appointment in 2 days, as I have a lot of questions.

Recovery kicked my ass for the first 3 days. All my muscles in the chest/armpit area hurt like crazy, I was very limited in all my movements. Additionally, I’ve had crazy nerve pain in my left breast, from the armpit to the nipple. I was able to pull my bottoms up and now alone (just very very slowly) but for any change of bra and button up shirt I had to ask my boyfriend for help.
He was also very good at making sure that our dog wouldn’t sleep on our bed, where she’s always slept at night.
The day before surgery, I did many laundry cycles to make sure everything got washed with an antibacterial detergent: bed sheets, towels, the clothes I would wear during recovery.

I showered on day two, by myself. I only kept my back to the water the whole time, and I washed my armpits and belly area with the hibiclens soap. I’m just trying to do everything I can to keep bacteria away from the incision, to avoid getting CC.

Days 4 and 5 felt progressively better, I was even comfortable enough to go get coffee with a 5 minute drive.

Today, day 6, I woke up with basically no muscle pain! I got ready for work and drove there with no problems. The only movement I’m avoiding are those that require my arms to stretch fully to the side or above me, as well as picking up anything too heavy.

What’s bugging me: the tadas look exactly what they looked like on day 1. The right one has dropped a few millimeters but the left one is still a hard rock bolted under my clavicle. While the right one feels perfectly fine, the left one gave me burning nerve pain, is completely numb from the nipple down and is more swollen at the top. All normal, but I’m really hoping she’ll get get it together soon.

I’ll try to keep this short and helpful:
- Be patient. During weeks 1-3 I over googled every single small thing (implants weren’t falling, nerve shingles, asymmetry) when time really solves the vast majority of these things.

- Don’t overdo it. Take every movement slowly and listen to your body. A part of me thinks the left implant is not settling because I did too much too soon with my left (dominant) arm.

- They will get softer. It’s not the implant that does: it’s your skin. If you start from zero like me, your skin will be extremely stretched by the implant and everything will be hard. Sometime around week 5 I noticed they were getting much squishier, because the skin was adapting. I used a lot of vitamin E oil and I haven’t gotten any stretchmarks, yay.

- Your anatomy matters. I regret going UTM a little bit, because there is a little part of my left pec that’s keeping the left implant from going inwards when I squish the boobs together. Also, the creases naturally sat a different heights before surgery, and that’s still the case now. I wonder if in 3-4 more months that will be less noticeable.
