Tuberous Breast Correction & Augmentation, (6/28/12). My girls are finally here! - North Charleston, SC

Day 4 post-op and I am really feeling like myself again! I was bracing myself for the second and third day but I had little to no pain. I went out for a walk and even ran a few errands and still no soreness or pain. I've weaned myself off of my narcotics; in fact this morning I slept in 3 hours past the time I normally take them and I awoke to no pain. I also have very little bruising which I am grateful for. I am glad that for the first 2 days I just relaxed in bed and did absolutely nothing. I think this may have something to do with my no pain rate. My breast are still high and tight and I want to burn this bandeau along with my old bras but I know that I must wear it for a reason so I have to suck it up. I really haven't seen much change to my breast thus far and maybe this is due to me looking at them everyday. I clean my incisions twice a day, place Neosporin on them, then cover them up with either gauze or a maxi-pad. Next I put on my sports bra and the horrid bandeau. My swelling around my stomach is going down too. Thank God. Tomorrow is my first post-op appointment with my doctor. I'm anxious to see what he says. I am going to ask him about massaging them. I hear that helps them to drop.

Day 1 post-op. I was bracing myself for the worse pain ever because I heard that the second day is the worse. Actually I feel better today than I did yesterday. I've been up being active and moving my arms gently which has really helped with my pain. My doctor called again this morning to check up on me. He gave me further guidance about when I can bathe, be active, remove my bandages etc. Hopefull tomorrow gets even better. I've posted my pre-op pics without the bra

Ok, it's the evening of my surgery and I'm just starting to feel somewhat ok. I got to Dr. Terranova's office at 8am and from there his nurse gave me my Zantac, Ativan and then had me change into a robe. She then took my vitals and Dr. Terranova came in to mark me up. I was taken to the OR room, hooked up with an IV and the next thing I know, I woke up in excruciating pain! So this is what it feels like when your breast are engorged?? Good grief! I could not wait to get home and pop my meds.

It hurts to sit up in bed and my breasts are so tight. So tight that I haven't looked at them. I did put my nipple rings back in but as far as getting up, undoing my bra and staring in the mirror.....ehhhh not today. I get tired quick but they look great from what I can see. Dr.Terranova called me around 6:30pm and told me he actually did 650cc Sillicone implant (Yayyyy!) submuscular with the areolar incision. I didnt think he could fit all of that through my nipples but he did. Oh and they are also moderate plus so I know they will look great. Now the weight begins for them to drop. I leave to go on my trip to Jamaica next thursday (7/5/12) and I'm hoping they dont look too tell-tale in a bathing suit. But they are actually lower than I though they would be, IDK if its due to the Bandeau or what. They also arent as big as i thought they would be but as long as I'm in a D cup, I dont care :) Anyhoo, I have my post-op appointment next Tuesday to get checked out for my trip. I'll try to post more pics tomorrow although I hear the second day is the worse. If I am feeling crappy, I'll definitely do it on Saturday. See ya later!
