Breast augmentation (304cc silicone) with lift and reduction of uneven breasts.. - Omaha, NE

Today was my 2nd Dr visit after surgery. We came in took my temp and blood pressure asked if I had any questions and how I was doing. Then the Dr came in happy as always making me feel right at home we looked at his work they took of the steri strips that was all around I was actually thinking it was going to hurt so horribly bad I took a pain pill before I went in and it didn't hurt at all!!! Way less then even a bandaid. Then he told me I need to move the breasts 6 to 8 times a day up by taking my hands and pushing them up and then taking my hands and pushing them together. And he showed me and it hurt when he moved them up!!
This is so they are more moveable because they made a pocket for the implant to sit in but it will be tighter if you don't move them. Has anyone heard about this? It hurts to move right now just was wondering if I should wait I like the way they look and feel!

Still very happy with the size and shape. It was nice to see the cuts without the strips in the way. I am impressed that the lines are tight and clean, hoping for as minimal scarring as possible in the long term so this is a great start! The sorest parts are still underneath the breasts and around the areoalas. Nerves are still healing so feeling comes and goes, but nothing annoying about it.

Still takes a lot out if me to get out and get around, had to rest a while after returning home, and still not comfortable driving unless I absolutely have to.

Im so Thankful for my hubby who has taken me to every appointment and knows what to do and has questions that forget to ask or if I say something to him he will ask the Dr if I don't feel comfortable. So nice to have that don't know what I would do with out him!
So that being said I'm ready to take my pain pills and close my eyes. Have a goodnight.

Ok so I'm going to start out by saying milk of magnesia every day from the start mixed with some smooth move tea when you need warm and hot for your throat. After 6 days of no BM trying coffee and milk drinks because normally that will only take mins to work the tea meralax and looking like I was 4 months pregnant I finally got to go!! Keep on the milk of magnesia till you are done with your meds. This is the reason I haven't posted for a few days.

Besides that the bruising has pretty much faded. Still painful, mostly around the stitches now, when the pain meds aren't working.

Still been feeling like my throat has been soar from the breathing tube used during surgery, but also discovered that this could be part of the side effects from the anti-bacteria meds.

Can't tell if they are swollen, they haven't changed much, still a great size and shape. Went shopping for another sports bra to wear and found out that finding a front zipper no underwire sports bra is really hard to find, so might be a good idea to look for one before.

I found one that is Under Armour brand, zip up compression style which works great. I'll post some pics next time.

Still getting feeling back in my nipples, but I get sharp pains now and then as the nerves grow back. I have more feeling in the side that had less work done. I was more the last several days, and have been sleeping more

I was more than ready to get out if the house for a couple of hours, but it also took a lot out of me, so definitely going to be still taking it easy for a while.

Feel free to comment or give any other words of advice!

Still no BM! Got on some laxative tea called smooth move, so we'll know soon if it works or not.

Finally noticed some yellow discoloration on the sides and bottom of both breasts, the beginning of some bruising. But doesn't look all that bad. The right breast looks slightly bigger due to swelling.

They are more sensitive now, plenty of feeling in the nipples, but definitely need the pain killers still, so had I the doctors office refill my prescripion. Been REALLY tired feeling and taking lots of short naps. Slept longer than usual last night, so I was in more pain when I woke up because the meds had already wore off. Still sleeping elevated because it's comfortable. Still wearing pajamas that button in the front for ease. My husband has been warming up my heat bag for my feet and bringing me lots of hot tea to help my throat feel good. He holds my hand at night to help me go to sleep!

Took a shower today, definitely hard to wash hair and everything else... without some help. Tried not to face the shower directly and tried to keep running water from hitting then. Afterwards I took advice from a nurse who had a lift, and used a blow dryer on cool air to air dry my breasts all around the bandages. I was afraid to use a towel even to pat them dry because there is a risk of staff, mersa, or other infection even from clean towels that are your own (her words)! Plus it was way more comfortable dry them off with air than rubbing them since they're more sensitive. A lot less itchy after showering too. Dr Hollins said the soap they use and the Hibiclens can be really drying. Took the opportunity to wash the surgical bra while I showered, I'm still interested in using it for a while longer for the support and to keep any additional swelling down.

Still super happy! My husband and I put together some before and after overlays from the front and the side to show how great Dr. Hollins did!
