Get as much rest as you can get. Looking good already lifeisgood !!

Hang in there! The first week was rough! I just wanted to sleep all the time and boy did it hurt! My hubby had to help me get up and down the first few days. I ended up sleeping with a few pillows propped up behind me. I'm sleeping on my back now with my normal pillow and I'm 16 days post op and haven't taken anything for pain the last two days. So I guess what I'm saying is sleep as much as you can, drink a lot of fluids, eat good food, stay on top of meds and just get through the first week. Week two is way better and now I'd say week three is even better than two.

Yay you did it!!! As for pain. I stayed on top of my meds around the clock. I have a bad reaction to percocet but the good thing is that it totally put me to sleep. I took valium too (not at the same time). I spent the first 3 drugged up and sleeping mostly all day! It was better than being awake and in pain, in my.opinion. By day 4, I had pain but it was manageable. By week 1 I no longer had pain, just soreness. But everyone is different in recovery. Just take it easy and protect your investment. I can't wait to see your progress. Happy healing!

My one girlfriend was out shopping the next day for new bras, and another girlfriend took about 2 weeks to recover... Neither did anything special for recovery - it just depends on the individual :) You look wonderful and I'm really glad that you're happy!

Thanks everyone!!! :-)

You are thinner than I am and a couple of inches taller. And I'm older than you by we are both petite. Your current breasts are so perky! Mine were very saggy after losing lots of weight and breastfeeding. You are also so toned. In my opinion, the size you chose is going to look so natural. You are definitely going to look so darn good with them. I look forward to seeing your results!

Hi Lifeisgood47, I'm shorter than you and got bigger implants. Check out V458, she is one of my fav outcome with small implants. Only few more days for you. I can't wait to see your pics after surgery. You def need help with your kiddos after surgery. Best of luck to you !!!

I am 7 days post op and although there has been pain and discomfort as long as you stick to a schedule on your pain meds, you will be just fine! Best advice I was give by my doctor "beat the pain, don't chase it," so make sure you keep up on your pain meds before the pain gets to anything unbearable (which I haven't had) keep an alarm to wake you for late night doses (my first night mistake and it was NOT pleasant)... Arm pits and arms are actually more uncomfortable than my incisions at this point. Good luck and congratulations!! It will be soooo worth it! I can't wait to be fully recovered and bathing suit and bra shop!!!

You will be in good hands. Dr. Ralston was my doctor and I had a lift along with implants almost a year ago. I was back to work three or four days later. I just had to roll to get out of bed. It wasn't as painful as I thought it would be.
