Silicone implants 400 cc HP on both under muscle....
WORTH IT$5,659
Silicone implants 400 cc HP on both under muscle. Started off a 32 A & hoping to end up with a C cup. Procedure went great, My boobs are still riding high and tight. First night at home and the pain was unbearable. Dr. Kerr prescribed me Oxycodon for pain, Cyclobenzaprine for muscle relaxer, Cephalexin (antiobiotics) and Promethazine for nausea.

Day 6
Today marks day 6 =)
Day 1: I had my surgery done @ 7 am. Dr Kerr and the all the other Dr's. that worked on me did an excellent job. =) I honestly don't remember much thay day. What I do remember is waking up at home in LOTS of pain. Any simple movements, it'll hurt. I needed help using the bathroom (pretty much helping me pull my underwear and shorts up). I also needed help getting out of bed.
Day 2-3 I was still in A LOT of pain so I kept up with my pain meds, muscle relaxer, & antibiotics. I had my post op appt today & is doing great so far :) I can now move my arms just a bit without any pain and get out of bed without the help of my husband. My boobs are still riding high and tight. It's so great to know I can email my doctor at any time of day and receive an email back. Super bloated today :(
Day 4: I was able to take a shower with the help of my lovely husband. I am still super bloated. Been drinking prune juice and taking stool softener to help me go. I am still taking all meds prescribed to me as I have very low pain tolerance. I can walk around more and do things but I do get very tired still. My chest is still super tight .
Day 5: yayyyy!!! Finally usex number 2!!! All that prune juice and stool softener helped. Boobs are still very heavy. :(
Day 6: I was able to go out and walk around at the store today. I noticed I was getting shortness of breath, tight chest, so we cut that store visit short. I'm not sure if this is normal but I'm def going to be asking my Dr. I'm also unsure if I'm wearing the right size sports bra that has the amount of support I need.

Today, I'm not feeling quite myself. =/ I thought I would be happy but I'm spending the day so emotional. I still feel tightness in my chest, I get tired so quick, boobs feel so heavy which makes it hard for me to breathe. I HATE having to depend on everyone for help. Maybe I'm being to rough on myself. Maybe I'm just over thinking the bad things, to why am I still feeling this way? I wish all the tightness would just go away but I know that takes time. Hopefully next week will be better than the first. :/

Hi. I felt the same exact way. This is normal to feel emotional. I cried and was depressed after my surgery. My dr said it was normal.
Try to take it easy. You may experience more tightness near your period as well.
Try and ride it out.
Good luck n keep us posted

Aww thank you!! :) I've been trying to hold back the tears and today it just came out. I'm glad to hear it is normal and just a phase that'll pass. :) & thanks for heads up about it being tight near the monthly.

Make sure when u wear the compression bra that BOTH nipples are positioned properly. I had not breast ( nipple) facing down n the other correctly facing straight out. I didn't realize it till my dr pointed it out. It's important in the healing process and don't forget to ice, ice ice!

* correction. I had one of my breast nipples facing downwards in the compression bra and the other facing straight is what I was trying to say

Thank you for the information. I forget about the ice. How often should I ice it for? & i wasn't aware that nipple needed to be positioned downward. :)

Hi, ice for about 20 min every hour and the nipples SHOULD NOT be pointed downwards in ur compression bra. When u put on the bra make sure both breasts are leveled the same in the compression bra. Hard to explain. I was just putting on my compression bra without realizing that both my nipples were not positioned the same and it makes a difference as it heals.

Great, I'll get on the icing part today :) Does your breast/nipple feel numb? Mine does near the incisions (breast fold) & so are my nipples.
