My Overall Experience Has Been Great

So far so good. I am really liking how everything is going. I have my days where I freak out just little bit about the scaring, but it has only been 3 weeks. In reality the scaring is coming along just fine. I think it is just me being a girl and obsessing. My husband has to remind me its only been 3 weeks and there is still more healing to still happen. I am using the ScarAway patches for my scar therapy. I have read very good reviews on them and heard lots of good things about them from others. I will have to say I started using a patch on an other scar I had developed from an infected spider bite. It was really ugly. I have only been putting the patch on for a few days and I can see a huge difference. The color is changing back to normal and the lumpiness is staring to flatten out. So I think I am on to a good thing. All in all I am still really happy with my doctor and results.

For some reason I old get my pics to download when I wrote my last review. These are pics of Day 2 post opp. You can see I can’t stand o straight and there is lots of swelling still. This was the day I went back for my post opp appointment. I was very happy with how he reassured me berthing was looking good.

So, this surgery is no joke. I was expecting to be down for a few days, but WOW. I was unprepared. I was down for the count for 7 days. Day 1 & 2 were very rough. days 2-5 I was super uncomfortable, but I didn't want to take any stronger medication. At 7 days I was able to move around more, but I was really tired. My son started school on my day 7 and I had to take him to school. I drove there than home and went back to sleep. I picked him up from school came home took my pain meds and went to sleep. That night I was in bed asleep by 7pm. I didn't realize how much I wouldn't be able to do. Lucky I did some prep crock pot meals a month earlier. so we had 10 nights worth of dinners.
When my husband and i took the day 2 pics I was a little worried because one is noticeably bigger than the other. During my pre opp the doctor and I talked about how one breast is slightly bigger than the other. To be honest I never realized one was bigger than the other until I started interviewing doctors. We both agreed to put the same size implants in both and the difference would be the same as it was before. So I will have faith that everything will work out in the end.
The skin on my breasts is very very tight. You know when you have had your bra on all day and all you wan to do is go home and take it off and let the girls hang? Thats what it felt like, but a little more intense.
All in all looks like everything is going according to plan. I am just tired of being in pain.
