Anchor Lift & 440cc HP Silicone Implants - Phoenix, AZ

My surgeon is an artist! I honestly couldn't be happier.

I started out very saggy, and about a 34 B. Effects of nursing 2 children for over 2 years! (I was larger than a 34ddd while nursing)

I'm currently 6 days post op and so incredibly happy with my results. I do have some pain, but I'm not taking any pain medication at all. I have zero bruising, and all of my incisions are looking fantastic.

The first few days were hard, but honestly the hardest part of the entire procedure was post operative nausea. Drugs didn't work all that well and I was pretty sick for about 10 hours after the procedure.

I'm currently in no condition to fully care for my children alone (ages 5 & 3) but doing really well. I'm able to do simple things around the house, but I am taking a lot of time to rest.

Well... I'm now 8 days post op. I LOVE THEM, but they're definitely bigger than I expected.

I went with 440cc HP sientra gummy bear silicone. Before, I was a saggy 34B/32C. I put my new measurements in a bra calculator (lindasonline.com) and it said 32FF is my current bra size. Ummmmm. (30" band & 36.5" bust)

I have been obsessed with trying on a few shirts to make sure they don't LOOK all that huge, and luckily they don't really LOOK huge in clothing. Attached are some photos.

It's been 8 days. Oddly, the boobs still feel foreign. Firm, heavy, tight & not comfortable. I know it's all part of the process, I'm just ready to feel normal.

Recovery has been very odd for me. Days 1-3 were the easiest. From day 4-8 (current), each day has become a little harder. I find myself more tired each day (and definitely more so at the end of the day). More sore each day. More zingers and incision pain each day. The list goes on.

Last night I took Tylenol for the first time in several days. The ribs under my left side hurt SO bad. Literally, feel like they're broken. The pain came out of nowhere, after I took a shower. It hurts under my breast, and all the way around to under my shoulder blade (all the upper ribs). It hurts when I take a deep breath. By far, this is the worst post op pain that I've had. So glad I go see the doctor tomorrow... I'm even contemplating calling today.

I've been resting like crazy. In fact on days 6 & 7 that's basically all I did apart from getting up maybe 4 times for no more than 5-10 minutes each time. I feel it's a bit extreme how much rest my body has needed.

My hubby goes back to work in 2 days and I'm absolutely terrified. There's still no way I can care for my kids alone.

I wish I wasn't teased with such a great first few days. I really hate how I feel like I'm healing in reverse.

I'll update tomorrow after an appointment :)
