OK, so the surgery date is set!
Nov 17th.
I'm trying to do my best to prepare, please comment if you have a suggestion of what should I do in preparation for the big day.
My number 1 goal is to avoid capsular contraction, so advice regarding this issue is greatly welcomed.
Thank you all <3
This is what I got so far from my research on this site:
Buy Arnica Montana – at least a week before surgery to prevent bruising
Look up Bromelain and Aquaphor
Buy Scar cream
Buy Bio oil
"Breast massage post surgery may help and, if the capsules are somewhat tight, there is also an option of using an anti-inflammatory medication" - would this be ibuprofen?
Singulair for 2 weeks pre op and 6 months post op – for capsular contraction?
A ton of vitamin E (400 units)
No seafood for a month (increases risk of capsular contrature) - is this true?
Please share your thoughts.
Thank you ladies

Also for surgery, I know a few handful of people who also use the arnica pomade /ointment to rub on. You can get it at Walgreens or Walmart. I’m Mexican and everyone I know also uses it for swelling and bruising

My PS said the Bromelain acted as an anti-inflammatory, along with Arnica and staying off baby asa and vit e 4 wks before surgery and 4 wks after. Also, eat a lot of fresh pineapple...I did not have breast surgery, upper eye lift..had lift about 30yrs ago so this was a repeat..MUCH less bruising, swelling this time. Just saw the dates of your procedure so this is a little late!

Morning post op. Last night was so hard.
I had severe nausea even after taking the nausea medication (Zofran). I threw up.

My breasts look beautiful and so big, but they hurt a lot. The outer sides of my breasts hurt, probably cause I have the least amount of tissue there.
I feel a lot of pressure on my ribs and the outer sides are stretching and burning.

I'm icing the sides cause they're hot and painful.
Thank God the nausea went away. I just had breakfast and the stomach is feeling good.

So far I'm very happy with him. I would recommend him, but I will hold my final review till I see how my recovery goes and what my breasts look like. I have met a few of his patients and all are very happy with their results.
