34J Breasts, I Cannot Believe I Am Finally Doing This - Toronto, ON

Its been 8 days post op.

I only have sensation in one nipple, the other is numb, I can't feel it, its weird because it reacts to my touch, if I rub it it gets erect, anyone have that issue, think I'll get sensation back in it eventually? Its almost like its not part of my body

Breasts are still swollen, its been 6 days post op, I know, they'll go down some more, right now they are about a 34dd, I'm hoping for a d, love love love the lift

Haven't had the strength to update you guys, my recovery has been relatively smooth, no crazy complications, because of the lipo I had on my flanks, not being able to sit Only laying and standing, its make it rougher, and I can only sleep on my sides, I've been taking codeine and Advil as well as a stool softener, because the codeine was making me constipated, I have this compression garment around my stomach and back, where the lipo was done, nothing was done on my stomack but the garment goes around. I'm sore and swollen in all the lipo areas, and the garment makes me feel all chocked up, eating is a pain cause I eat little and I'm full, Dr said not to drink too much water, on the second night I was so swollen even my pubic region almost tripled in size, all the liquid from my tummy and back were being pushed down, from peoples reviews here,I slept with an icepack there and woke up better.
Still haven't seen my breast, they are all converted up in bandage and gauze and I've been wearing an old sports bra, today is my first post op. I can't wait. Cause everything gets off and I can finally see the boobies and get the compression garment off.

Pain hasn't been terrible, sometimes I can feel the stitches under my breast like they are stretching, hurts so I just take a tablet, I've been home the entire time, my sister is here taking care of me and she has been a trooper, luckily I cooked a lot of food before this so she hasn't had to cook meals from scratch.

Been sleeping a whole lot and it makes my face and everywhere look so swollen, can't wait to get back to my usual routine and feel more like myself.

Surgery itself went well, I didn't see the doctor after she spoke to my sister and left. She said everything went well though, I was in recovery for about 4 hours after. In And out of sleep and the nurse wouldn't let me go home until I could pee by myself. After the third trip to the toilet I was finally able to, I had some apple juice, threw up a little and went home.
Couldn't eat anything that night. Appetite was all over the place, however I had a cup of hot chocolate and went to bed.
Its day four now and I'm just ready to get this compression garment off. See my results. See my breasts. And I'll update you guys with pictures of the new ladies when I see them.

The lipo areas are still so swollen and a lot of the reviews here say that it will take 6 months to a year to see the complete results. That's such a long time.

Thanks for all the stories and encouragements
