Day of Surgery to 6 days Post Op
Surgery Day- 8:00 AM checked in, changed out of my clothes, had my vitals taken, and was on the surgery table within 30 minutes. It was great to not have to wait around forever. I was out immediately. When I started coming to, I struggled to open my eyes. I was not in any pain but I was extremely nauseous the rest of the day. I wasn't able to eat. I drank a lot of coconut water which helped because I didn't have a lot of fluids in me from having fasted, so there wasn't much to throw up. It helped my throat not hurt so much and it didn't taste bad coming out.
My chest felt very tight, but I guess that's what I get for wanting to go "big" on the implants. The TT incision was not painful. I was just very sore. I left the clinic wearing a torso brace, wrapped in bandage and the abdominal binder I purchased on Amazon.
1 Day Post Op- Best day... I still had good pain killers and no more nausea. Went back to see the Dr. and had the drains removed and I didn't have to wear the torso brace anymore. I left wearing the compression bra I purchased and the abdominal binder.
2 - 5 days post op- feeling mostly discomfort and super impatient. Walking only to the bathroom and kitchen. It really hurts my back when I walk around too much, and it's exhausting. Went to go see the Dr. on day 5 because I had discharge from the TT incision and a blister in on of the skin folds. It was nothing serious, no infection or hematoma.
Day 6 Post Op - starting to feel better... I am able to move around a little easier, but still not normal walking. I'm able to lift my arms overhead and my chest doesn't feel so hard. I think the implants are starting to drop and I'm loving my big boobs. It's easier to breathe too. I go back to the Dr. tomorrow to have the stitches removed. Will post more if there are any changes.

I am getting a 500cc BA and lipoabdominoplasty. I found Dr. Ken Arashiro online and I met someone else on this forum who recently had surgery with him. After speaking with several friends and acquaintances, and hearing nothing but great things about him, I decided he would definitely be my surgeon. I had my first appointment with Dr. Ken Arashiro on the 12th of May. He showed me several pictures of his patients and his work was flawless. He is a little conservative but I think it's a good thing that he wants to make sure his clients look good and not be unhappy. He suggested 450cc, and I suggested 500cc. We settled on 500c. I later suggested 550cc but he said it would be too big on me. I trust him and think I'll be happy with 500cc. We had a second appointment for a blood test, pick a surgery date, and make the initial deposit of 20% of the total cost. I am set for surgery on 23 June at 0800. I'm very excited for the results but not the process of healing.
If you are active duty, YOU MUST READ THIS. I am active duty military. I had to go to TRICARE first to get all the necessary paperwork that has to be routed and approved by my squadron commander and the Med Group commander. I''ve already gotten approval from my unit commander. Now I have to route it through the Med Group but the reps at TRICARE said there haven't been any issues with Dr. Arashiro being approved for elective surgery. Getting elective surgery without prior approval is punishable. Do not risk your career just because you don't want to take a couple extra steps.
