WORTH IT
Owwwwie!!! Woke up this morn without having taken any pain meds all night and they are super sore. Just took a vicodin. I was hoping to get off the pain meds and switch to tylenol....when did ya'll normally do that? Ive been sleeping in our lazy boy recliner couch super comfy to be upright. My doc has me wearing the tight ace bandages and the compression strap till tuesday, I just took off the bandages for a bit and put on the soft walmart sports bras I got....the girls need a breather feel so much better in this bra! I will put on the aces later again I guess. My ps also said no shower yet and I really want too. Bummer. I will wash hair in sink I guess with hubbys help that should be interesting haha. Is pain worse in the morning?? Also, did anyone else wear the ace bandages for week??

Hi, first of all, congratulations on your new boobies! I hope that you have a really great recovery. It sounds like you are doing really well so far! Meds.... I was on the narcotic pain meds for 4 days and I took myself off of them so that I could drive. Not the best move on my part, I should not have tried driving that soon, I really hurt myself and got horrific bruising. It is amazing how many muscles you use to turn a steering wheel, lol. I was on Ibuprofen and muscle relaxers, the muscle relaxers saved me. I even got a refill of them. They were better than the pain meds for comfort. I iced a little bit, but it was more uncomfortable to have the cold on my boobs than not. I used Arnica gel, and that was fantastic! ! I didn't have to wear any bandages, so I can't give you any info on that, sorry!
Your boobies have such a great shape already, I had the SpongeBob Square boobies going on for quite a while. I think that you are going to have very natural looking results, and I cant wait to see your boobs in a couple of months, ha, ha, I absolutely love Marissa Miller and her amazing boobs!! Jealous, lol!!
Wishing you the very best in your road to boobiliciousness!!

Awww thank you so much!!!! I LOVE then already. They are still firm and high but think they will settle nicely and give me my goal look ;))) I stopped the pain meds but you are so right, the muscle relaxer really helps, I may refill mine too. I will have to check out the arnica gel....I figure I will need a scar gel for sure. My left seems a little more square than my right, cant wait to watch the girls settle in over the next few months, I will for sure post more pics soon! Now if I could only get Marisa Millers tummy and butt too haha!!! Thanks again girl chat soon, love being part of the boobilicious club now ;) wish I had these years ago!!!

I can't agree more, boobies are awesome, lol
Ask your doctor about taking Vitamin E, this helped my pockets soften up. For scar treatment I have used the Scaraway Silicone sheets and Pro-Sil by Biodermis (recommended by my PS). I ordered the Pro-Sil online. I am terrible at using it as often as you should, but it's working!

You look great!!! They already look pretty natural! I took Valium and Vicodin for 3 or 4 days post op. After that just Advil (3 of them) and still used the Valium (muscle relaxer). I found that when my chest felt tight, that always did the trick! I wore the strap full time for a week, then I was cleared to only wear at night the week after. If you can't shower, take a bath but keep the girls dry. You will feel better!! Happy healing, looking awesome!
February 8, 2016
Thank you!!! I am feeling great, some soreness but just taking tylenol here and there...and I cheated and took a shower but tied a plastic bag around them to keep them dry lol. Felt so much better!! The Valium def helps with the tightness. I have my one week post op tomorrow :) They dont seem to have changed much over the past week, I think she said she will give me exercises to do. Will update more soon! Thanks again ♡

I can't see your pics. I'm so curious bc u have the exact same stats as me. I have 13bwd though and the dr first suggested 405 inspira but now after my wish pics he's saying 445 moderate profile. I'm worried considering the moderate profile is 13.5cm. I've heard u should stay under ur bwd. I'd love to see yours, I don't know why it's not showing up. :(

Just had my post op today (5th day) and the doc told me I don't have to wear a strap. I can, to aid the dropping but I don't have to. My boobs are not sore anymore thank God. I still take Norco to take the edge off and so I can sleep thru the night in a recliner. I hope I can move on to Tylenol soon as well!

before & afters....Post op day 3

Hi! Feeling a little better today, but still sore so kept up pain meds and valium. Rested lots but made sure to walk around and started eating a bit more...smoothies, protein, rice, veggies. My ps wants me to wear the ace bandages and white compression one till my visit next week, an no shower just bird bath :/ Really wishing I could put on a soft sports bra and take a shower :(. Ive let the girls out for a bit here and there just to breath & admire them!!!! OMG I am so happy so far! For day 3 I think they look awesome! They are definitely swollen and hard, and a bit high, but I know it will take weeks for them to settle. I dont have much bruising and my incisions look tiny(under crease) So happy with my ps so far. Final choice was the 445cc inspira srx full profile under the muscle. I was a deflated post partum a cup prior. I am so happy I did this and very happy with the results so far. Will post more pics as the weeks go on :)

Got a first look!

behappymamamakeover
Just went in for first post op. Took off the bandage wraps and got to see.. Love my new boobs!!! Now they seem hard and high though. The left seems to sit higher than the right/look square. This is normal right??? Im assuming its going to to drop and settle and soften over the next few weeks, but they look awesome even now! So happy with the size, not to big, not to small. Also, my ps said to wear the wraps for the next week still. I was hoping to get to change into a soft sports bra :(. Oh well following orders! I will post some pics in a bit.

Congratulations on your BA, Behappymamamakeover! Yes. High, hard, and square are pretty normal. I have 485cc Inspira Moderate unders through transaxillary incision. Mine were super high, tight, hard and square, lol. You can look at my review and see some pictures documenting my journey thus far if you like. I am six weeks post op at this point, and they are slowly rounding and filling out. It will get better and easier. Post BA is where we really work hard on the character trait of patience :D. It's not always easy, though. I love my Inspiras. I think you will be very happy. Happy healing. xoxo
February 5, 2016
Thank you so much!! I will check out your review...I just posted more pics of mine, I really love them already! So happy about the fullness . Im hoping by summer they will be nice and settled :) Feeling really comfortable with my choice to go for the inspiras...I really think they give great shape. Cant wait to go shopping !! ;))(
February 5, 2016
Hey, checked out your review, they look fantastic!!- congrats!! did your ps suggest massage at all to help them drop/fluff? I havent started anything yet but just wondering. Yours have changed so much in a few weeks its amazing, makes me so excited to see mine change. They are really hard and swollen, and high of course still. Enjoy your girls!! xoxo

Thank you, behappymama. I got to burn my chest strap, and my PS gave me two exercises at my one week post op and told me to do them for twenty minutes a day and I could break up the time over the entire day, I.e. five minutes four times a day. I am still doing the exercises. I have bought a couple of new clothes, swimsuits, lingerie. It is a lot of fun filing them out, no doubt. Take care. xoxo
February 4, 2016
CONGRATS! Are they full or extra full ?
February 5, 2016
Thank you!!! Just added pics, they are full I think...the srx 445cc inspiras
