23 Years Old, Mother of One. Tallahassee, FL

I love them! I had my surgery on February 11th; it's now the 29th of March and my boobies have steadily been settling in. It took a few weeks for them to get softer (they were SUPER firm for a while), and one seemed to be a little higher than the other for 2 weeks or so. I'll post more pictures in a few months to let you guys see the completely healed results. I got 500ccs in my left breast, and 475ccs in the right. My only complaint is the visibility of my scars.. But then again, it has only been a little over a month- so hopefully they'll fade a bit more.

I can't quite get a good picture of it, but I've developed a mondor cord on my left incision. I didn't know what it was until I looked it up, and apparently it's common. I felt tugging while I was at work today, and a little pain.. It felt like it was on my left rib. I peeled my steristrips off after I found it, they were getting really itchy. Other than that, my soreness is almost gone completely.
As far as the recovery experience goes, I think what I least expected was the amount of soreness there would be for the entire week after surgery. I was under the impression that I could go back to work after 3 days, and let me just warn all of you prospective ladies out there; take an entire week off of work if any way possible, even if you have a desk job like I do. The pain/soreness is completely down played. You're going to be in ALOT of pain. Just a forewarning. I had a c-section in 2013, and this recovery is making that one seem like cake.

My pain has eased in my breasts, but Im having some slight back pain. I think it may be because of the extra weight on my chest. Also, I'm soooo constipated. I haven't had a bowel movement in five days, and just recently started to feel discomfort from it. I've tried the "smooth move" tea from the health food store, but it didn't help. I tried tiny lax pills from CVS the next day, which also didn't help. About an hour ago, I took some milk of magnesia, and immediately got very nauseous. I'm having a lot of gas, but still no movement.
