28 Years Old, No Kids, Breast Lift No Augment After Weight Loss. Saskatchewan, SK

I haven't had much to say lately but I figured I'd take some more pictures. The tape came off at one month. I was really happy with how things were looking for that first month. I can tell that the one with the vertical incision is dropping (very slowly). Unfortunately the areola of other one has started stretching out. They matched so well when it was first done so it's quite disappointing to see it keep stretching like this. I really hope this is as big as it's going to get. I think it's still a little smaller than before the surgery but it does upset me a little because it looked so good right after the surgery. I went bra shopping once and it was amazing to me how close the size of them are now. Being able to find a bra that fits in both cups was a pretty big moment. Overall I'd say I'm still happy, but there's definitely a still a twinge of disappointment when I look at them.

I had my post op appointment this morning. He said everything went well and looked good and I'll have another appointment in a month. and no exercise for the month. I've been feeling about the same today as yesterday. The Tylenol seems to be keeping things in check. I can feel when it starts to wear off but it hasn't been too bad. They definitely hurt to touch so I'm kind of apprehensive of putting on a sports bra yet. The left one bled a little bit today but not as much as yesterday.

I'm already bored. I ran some errands after my appointment and then napped for most of the afternoon. I'm not sure if it's the drugs but I've been really sleepy on and off today. I'm going to have to pick up a hobby again or start a new book. This is going to drive me crazy.

So the surgery was this morning. My friend drove me there around 7. I think my surgery started around 8 - first one of the day thank god! I signed a couple forms and they took me in to change into a gown and then to a bed. I was so scared. I was kind of holding it together but the nurse could tell I was really nervous. She gave me a hug and told me I'd be okay and then the tears came. Haha I really didn't want to cry but it happened. Everyone there was really nice. The anesthetist came in and asked me some more questions and then dr Thomson came in and drew on me. Then they took me to the operating room and put on some monitors and before I knew it I was waking up after.

They asked me about my pain level and (I assume) gave me some drugs. I went back to sleep a couple times. For some reason I didn't want to sleep but it kept happening. Lol my friend came back to pick me up and filled my prescriptions and it was time to go. This was around 11:30. The first time I sat up I got really hot and started feeling kind of nauseous. I laid back for a while and then got in a wheelchair and they took me to the front door. I really thought I was going to throw up in my friend's truck but I managed not to! I brought a bunch of bras to the surgery to see which I should wear after but they gave me a tank top with a shelf bra and said to wear it for the rest of today. I have a follow up appointment with him tomorrow morning so I think he'll tell me more about the aftercare then. And they said I can shower tomorrow, which is great but I'm a little concerned about.

We got home around noon and I took the Tylenol and Celebrex they gave me. They prescribed morphine tablets too but I was feeling okay so I didn't take any. I was kind of expecting for the drugs they gave me after surgery to wear off and to start feeling pretty bad in the afternoon but it didn't really get worse. The left one is more uncomfortable than the right, which makes sense. It bled a little bit this afternoon. So far the right one doesn't really hurt at all. It's been a bit itchy but nothing major. The left one kind of twinges a bit but it's not bad. I'm really hoping tomorrow is as good as today pain-wise. I heard the swelling gets worse in the few days so I'm a little worried about waking up tomorrow! My nurse roommate recommended taking a morphine tablet before bed so hopefully the night goes alright. I'm still not looking forward to sleeping on my back.

I told myself before the surgery that I wasn't going to look at them right after because I knew they'd look horrifying. But curiosity got me and I had to look. It's actually not as scary as I thought it would be! The right one looks really normal - it didn't really get a lift, just a shrunken areola. I'm so very very happy with that one. The left one looks pretty weird in comparison. It's really full on top and doesn't have a fold like the other one, which I'm guessing is just swelling and will go away. From what I've read it should settle over the next weeks/months so I'm really hoping it turns out as nice as the other one. They aren't going to be big or full like if I had the implants too, but if they both end up looking like the right looks now I'm still going to be really happy.

I think that's all I have for today! Fingers crossed tomorrow doesn't hurt too bad!!
