A year and a half post-op

Here we are a year and a half post op!I had a hematoma and had to go back into theatre the next morning. They drained it and it has improved greatly, but there is still a slight hump on that breast. I have showed it to Dr. Braun. 
Overall I am happy with them but I do wish they were much bigger.Unfortunately I still have to wear heavily padded bras to get the look that I want, but at least am a 34C now. 
I might want to go bigger because I want to get my padded bra look without the padded bra. Dr. Braun said it would be possible. 
They look much bigger here than they do in real life.

Post-Op Day 1 (Hematoma Procedure)

These are pictures from the day after my procedure, but the same day as my hematoma procedure. Still a little swollen but we’ll see how it resolves.

Apparently my surgeon doesn’t bandage or “bra up” his patients immediately after surgery, so this is how I left the hospital. I thought it was a little strange but after a little Internet research, I saw that it’s not as uncommon as I thought.

Hematoma

As I’m minding my business sleeping and basking in the joy of my new breasts, a nurse noticed that my left breast was slightly more swollen, or abnormally swollen. She put an ice pack on it. The night nurses continued checking on this breast and one of them then told me to not eat or drink anything after 22:00.

The next morning Dr. Braun came in and had a look and said I’d need to go back into theatre to drain the hematoma that he developed. Again I was the first in that morning. I was reassured by Dr. Braun and a new (lovely!) anesthesiologist that it would be a quick, uncomplicated process.

Thank goodness they didn’t have to do the whole process of inserting another IV.

Before I knew it I was back in my room. The only concern I had was that I’d have to stay another night, which was not the case, thank goodness.

A nurse showed me the way I was to massage, I was discharged at around 14:30 and got some pain meds, anti nausea meds and sleeping pills.
