I finally have boobs! :)
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! :)
Waiting Game!
Today's the big day!!
Provider Review
So I met with Dr. Justin Perron yesterday to go through measurements and sizing! Very nerve racking, but he was so friendly & I immediately felt comfortable with him. He first had a brief chat to me about what I did which was a nice Ice breaker then we got into the measurements and the implants sizes and 3D imaging! :) Never felt uncomfortable at all! He initially suggested round implants before seeing me in person but then after he measured me and realised I did not have a lot of breast tissue he suggested tear drop, we played around with the 3D imaging and both type of implants and I ended up deciding on the tear drop! Looked way more natural on my body type, the round implants kind of just came out of no where! Dr. Luke Stradwick who also came in to assist with the measurements and discussion of implants size and type was also really great! He is one of the head surgeons, but does not perform the surgery himself. They were both really informative and knew exactly what they were talking about, they both agreed that the tear drop 295cc was the most appropriate for me and would give me the best result, so I listened to them and have locked in the tear drops for next week!! Both surgeons were really professional, but were also friendly and up for a chat too! Couldnt have felt more comfortable!! :)
