Today was my first post opp appointment and I got my knots removed from my stitches. The PS said everything was great and even told me I was a perfect patient :) She gave me a couple more massages to do and said that I could start my scar treatment which is Bio Corneum.
I also got the okay to sleep at night without a bra which is awesome. I was afraid of bottoming out and asked the doctor this and she said that bottoming out is not in my genetics. Anyone else ever hear this about Asians?

I have been able to sleep on my side now, on my left and right. WOOHOO because I am a side sleeper and this has made me much happier.

So I know I said that my nipples stopped being hypersensitive but now my right nipple is losing a bit of sensation which I was told because of the implants dropping. I get the occasional nerve pain which feels like I'm being zapped with a tiny taser or something.

I have not been sized or bought proper bras yet because I know the size changes during d&f. But yesterday I found a pretty, lacey 32D bra on clearance and it fits perfectly so I wonder if my size will increase later.

I do not see my PS for another 6 months so here's hoping no complications come up between now and then.

Hello! I've been following your post! you look GREAT! Wish to see more of your updates. I am an Asian and would like to plan my BA later this year. I saw that the price was close to $6K for you. Did insurance help at all, or did you have to pay the entire fee (surgery operation fee, medicine fee, etc.) out of your own pocket? I am super excited to see my new look but in the meanwhile I am concerned if it will turn to be too expensive for me... Thanks for your reply in advance!!

Hi! Insurance did not help pay at all. Do you know if you want silicone or saline? I know saline is about 1k or more cheaper depending on who you see. I would do consults with a lot of surgeons as well! I have a lot of friends that have travelled to get their BA because they found more reasonable prices elsewhere. Thank you and let me know if I can be of any more help!

Thanks so much for your response! I am planning to have consultations with a few PS in my area starting next week just so I can compare and pick the one that I feel the most comfortable with. I will prepare to pay them all then. I'd like to have silicone gel as well. I hope you have a speedy recovery!!! Looking forward to seeing more pictures of you! :)

Thank you for posting your journey! I was wondering if you got moderate or moderate plus profile? I also have 350 cc/325cc and for whatever reason mine look huge but I was going for a smaller look.

I am in no more pain and have completely stopped taking pain pills and using ice packs! The only discomfort now is the chest tightness and slight bruising around my incisions and my sternum still feels a bit sore. I have been able to drive and do things regularly except working out. I do tend to get tired easily towards the end of the day and I start to feel slightly out of breath. My nipples have also stopped being so hypersensitive.
My breasts also don't really hurt anymore when I'm doing my displacement exercises which makes me feel a lot better about touching them.

The implants seem to have gotten a bit rounder and softer but are still sitting high. I have been doing massages and stretching as much as I can to try and speed the d&f process. I love how they look in bras but when I'm naked I still think they look a little funny since they're so high. I really hope that they drop more because it feels like they're still in my arm pits.
My PS said that she will determine whether or not I get a strap when I go see her for my first post op appointment this Thursday.
The tape on my incisions have yet to fall off so I can't really assess that situation yet.

So I would say that by week one I was pretty much recovered.

Hi nymphet, congratulations on your ba!! By the way what size cc's did you end up getting? I'm 5'4" 117 lbs and tried on 325 cc and 350cc. I think I'm going to go with 350cc.

Thanks! I got 325 on my left and 350 on my right. If I were you, I would go with 350 as well because it's not much difference. Good luck!!

I haven't noticed too much change in my breasts but my bf has told me that they look better and not as squarish or high. It must be because I see my breasts every day that I do not notice much difference.

I had the worst night of sleep after post op day three. I thought I could not take the sleeping pill and be okay that night but I was WRONG. My back was aching SO bad and I could not get comfortable whatsoever. I finally took a sleeping pill around 6:30am. It got so bad to the point that I starting thinking, "Why did I do this to myself?"

Today is day five and I have not taken a pain pill at all and I have not felt bad. My chest just feels very tight during the day but not painful. I have been doing a lot of stretching exercises and that is supposed to help alleviate the pain so I guess it's working! I have been doing the displacement exercises to my breasts as much as I can because I hate how high up they are right now.

I have been told that it takes petite girls longer to drop because of our tight skin and muscles. Just my luck! I will just have to be patient.

My nipples have gone from being slightly sensitive to very sensitive these past couple of days. It's almost too much when the water hits them when I shower. There is also one numb spot on the cleavage side of my left breast. It feels like when the dentist numbs your gums; you can feel something touching it but not much else. It's a very odd feeling!
I am also still feeling something that feels like a bubble on the outside of my right breast when I do a massage. The feeling goes away after a bit though but comes back. I wonder what that is and I really wish I was seeing my PS sooner for my post op appt so I can ask her.

I see all these other women doing different massages to help d&f and I wonder if I can do those too? I kind of wish my PS gave me a band too because the girls that have one seem to be dropping so much faster than me!

Last night I was able to sort of sleep on my side without too much discomfort so hopefully I can sleep well again. It is awful when you can't sleep because your back and your neck is sore!

Overall I am getting more used to my new body day by day and feeling better. I just wish the d&f would hurry up.
