Ok so, I am now 2 wks post op & thought I should finally do some reviews & let you all know how I went! :) Sorry for the lateness, I will post some pics from Day 1 until now and you can see my progress.
First of all, I had my surgery on the 5th December 2014 (2wks ago)
Implants: Silicone, tear drop, 295ccs, dual plane placement, inframammary incision.
I had nausea & vomiting pretty significantly post my surgery, the nurses had to stay behind a bit later, because they needed to get my vomiting under control before I could be sent home. I finally left at about 8pm. Once I left, I felt pretty good, just felt extremely tired, because of the medications (I couldn't keep my eyes open, lol).
The first night I wasn't in any pain ( I took pain killers religiously!) this is one bit of advice I can give, take your pain relief on cue, even if you don't think you need it, it is really important not to let the pain get on top of you! My pain didn't really kick in until about the 2nd or 3rd day, when the local anaesthetic had worn off:(
I also slept really well that night, as the medication they gave me in surgery was still in my system and knocked me out well and truly, lol. For some reason i needed to pee a lot! every hour I was up, lol. Luckily I had mum with me and she helped me to the toilet and to get out of bed when I needed.
Mum lifted me up out of bed, as I was unable to push up off the bed with my arms, she also helped me have a shower the next day. Make sure you have someone with you for at least the first 48hours as you will be surprised at what you cannot do and need help with.
I started going shopping and driving around Day 4 or 5, but this was not as easy as I thought it would be. I was still knocked around a bit, but everyone is different.
I am now feeling pretty good at 2 wks post op & am going back to gym tomorrow! Only light exercises though, I usually do mainly weights/strength exercises, but I am only going to start back with some cardio & body weight strength exercises, keeping in mind that i am not healed/strong enough to put weight on my arms ( so no pushups or even certain exercises in yoga or body balance)
I had a lot of swelling the first few days - keep in mind I was an A cup and now a small D, so i had a lot of swelling in my cleavage, looked like i had a uni boob.
My dressings have been changed once, & my scars are looking really good! Ive had no bruising or bleeding & my scars are barely noticeable.
So Far, So Good! :)

Hi sugarandspice21, everything went really well! I am now day 4 and recovering pretty well. Still on pain killers & doing my exercises as much as possible, they really help with the tightness of my chest. I am currently in my compression Bra which is a D Cup, but i think the swelling still needs to go down a little bit, so I will probably end up a full C to small D cup. But I am glad I didnt go any bigger at this point anyway. I just look back at my photos and see how flat I was before.. I will post photos soon. :)

Good luck! Can't wait to hear how it goes. Lots of love and good wishes from England xx

Thanks so much! It all went really well! :) I was pretty sick in recovery though had to stay a bit longer then I was supposed to, just nausea and vomiting from the anaesthetic. My night wasn't too bad, put an alarm on every 4 hours for pain relief, if there is any advice I can give make sure you take your pain relief religiously! & have a frozen bag of peas handy!! I have non stop been icing them and it really helps.. Also do your stretches!! This has been helping the stiffness to fade away.. I am mainly getting pain in my sternum area.. Other then this I have been ok.. Mum or my partner have been helping me get into and out of bed and helping me shower, I am trying to do as much as possible coz I know there will be days where I won't have the extra hand :( but I am feeling ok, just can't wait to feel normal again.. But the new boobies look great not too small not too big, just right for my frame :) and they are actually pretty soft to the touch :) I will put pictures up soon! :)

Congratulations! So glad to hear it went well, and thanks for the advice! Are yours sub muscular? Hope you're enjoying your first few days as a big boobied lady! Xx

Thanks Irish0920! I am starting to enjoy then, but still in a fair bit of pain, I am dual plane so two thirds of the implants are beneath the muscle.. I think this is the more painful position, it is now day Day 3 post op and I still have some pretty strong pain, but it's more where they have had to stretch my skin a lot, like my sternum is very tight, but I haven't stopped with the frozen bags of peas and my exercises they really relieve the pressure! .:) x
