I finally decided to go for a consultation in May with Dr Jon Rast and was told I'd need a lift on right beast and possibly left as well. I decided on 400cc, ideal implants, under muscle at the consultation. I feel more comfortable with saline than silicone. I'm ready to fit in bras and clothes better. I gained and lost about 50lb with both of my kids and exclusively breastfed my 2nd so they are sagging and uneven.

I was up bright and early to travel to the surgery center starting at 4am to shower again and drive there. I really didn't get nervous, just stayed excited for the result. The anesthesia worked quick and i was back awake about 30 min after surgery. Dr Rast marked everything and measured several times and answered my questions mostly before I even asked. I only had pressure and maybe 2/10 pain upon waking. I took one hydrocodone 5/325 before leaving since it would take a couple hours to get home and get prescriptions filled. I took another hydro and diazepam 5mg for relaxing muscles and got sleepy quick and have slept about an hour now. They also gave me a script for nausea, but i didn't fill It since i ate a couple crackers before leaving the surgery center and got a burrito from taco bell on the way home and did just fine. Doing some arm raises as instructed every hour or more. Just feels like i did bench press and push ups and have muscle soreness. It hurts more to pull doors, etc than to push. If child proofing isn't a concern i would suggest easy open Rx Lids because i had my husband open my bottles because pushing hurt. I'm very happy with the apparent size they will end up being. 405cc in each and i only needed a right lift that was just around the areola, not the lollipop i figured i would need...so yay! I have a high pain tolerance and icing about 15 min at a time and then moving to a different section and taking 3 IBprofen every 4 hrs to have as little swelling as possible. I know tomorrow is supposed to be the worst so I'm doing what i can to prevent. I was told to sleep elevated so I'm on the reclining couch.

Did your left nipple where u got the lift hurt? I got mine too and I'm only 4 days post op, but I can feel the stitches when my arm is at a certain position. The stitches feel like they're going to rip off. But I'll have the bandages removed tomorrow so I'll see what's what's going on. What were your experiences were with the lift?

I never felt that it was going to rip. I would feel some sharp ping sensations going through it, even occasionally at almost 1 year later. It is slightly more sensitive to touch now, but I didn't have trouble during healing with it. Just keep up the ice, that helped me the most.

I stayed home all day on and off ice and did some housework. Raising my arms over my head every so often like I'm supposed to. I get a burning sensation like pulling when i reach too far with my right arm since that's the lifted side. Other than that I try to make slow or compensated movements. No bowel movement and I'm legitimately up 12 lbs since the morning of surgery! The diazepam makes me super sleepy but I feel better for a while after taking it. I'm also taking hydrocodone and ibuprofen every now and again maybe every 6hrs or less. I don't think i need it because it seems to just be tightness like being engorged and ice helps the best.
