Hey ladies its 6 weeks today.
Sorry for the lack of updates my fiance got a job offer 2 days after my surgery so we just moved him out to Alberta :( I just got home.

My breasts an FANTASTIC, perfect size perfect shape perfect healing. right arms still a little tight, left incision scar totally gone, right fading steadily.
back to the weights as of two days ago, feels weird adjusting to the girls and lost a lot of strength but ill get it back.

nose.... looks great i have to go back for a tiny revision just under local freezing no scars or anything. some of the cartilidge he out in didnt smooth out quite as nicel as it did on the right side. super super minor but he's a perfectionist and so am i. and after payong for it why not. eveything else is great i can breathe and touch it and blow it gently. feelings back in the tip almost normal, scars fading almost totally gone. still a little swollen and tender along the bridge if i really push.

Your results make me feel so glad I chose Dr. Lista for my BA as well!!! Your shape is so natural and perfect for your body! He is such a talented surgeon! I have my surgery scheduled for next Monday, I'm hoping mine turn out as nice as yours! Did he use a pain pump on you? And how are your scars healing? are they long? I'm also going trans ax/under the muscle!

I just had the same procedure done exactly a week ago. I am also smaller framed, not anywhere near as small

as you, but I got around the the same size implants through an inframmery incision. So far they are healing nicely my left nipple is a bit swollen, but nothing bad. I can't wait until they drop they look so perky and fake! I don't get my caste off until tomorrow and I'm really worried about how swollen it will be. I go back to work in three days and I'm afraid I'll look like I had my nose done. Did you have any tip work done or anything requiring stitches?

UPDATE! POST-OP day 5.75 lol.
Got my cast off today feels so relieving! Also had splints inside my nose and it felt so good to have them pulled out they were so big! i was like those were inside my brain!! lol felt weird but so good.
My nose looks amazing so straight an perfect and even though im stuffed up I can breathe so much better again already. SO HAPPY. Dr. Ahmad is amazing! i have small like snore strip things back on for another 5 days :)
My boobs are also doing amazing. still wearing the strap as often as I can which ends up being about 22 hours a day only off to wash it.
I also started massage today 5 minutes every hour feels sore but good to move them around. My incisions are healed up totally closed I'll post pictures of them soon. no more washing them or polysporin I actually am supposed Massage the incision site lightly and the scar tissue lump underneath it 3x a day for a minute each side.
I had never heard anyone doing this last thing and it makes a lot of sense in the same way im an athlete and use a foam roller or tennis ball to break uo muscle soreness and scra tissue they want you breaking it down along your inner armpit.

any ways i feel very relieved, much more mobile I washed my own hair today put on all my own creams made my own food and did laundry and stuff. I spent an hour doing mobility stretches just very slow long held stretches felt awesome my backs still very tight but feels better. I'm amamzingly down to one Tylenol extra strength every 6 hours thats it.
And my digestion is back on track, going to the washroom regularly again.

I just had my own nose surgery and was taking things like borage oil and fish oils prior, did you start yours again right after surgery? I look at your pics and def feel with your healthy lifestyle you had a healing advantage. I really want to start my oils again to help with swelling.

Hi sorry for the delay I was away in Alberta. I did not take any oils for 12 days after. Then i started Flax, Lecithin, Omega, Borage and CLA. What helps swelling and bruising the most is arnica tablets under the tongue. They are a MIRACLE.

Hey ladies sorry for the few days delay I had my surgeries Thursday.
Went in at 7 am it went well I'm alive, it's officially to type this but I will make a long update after some more pain meds.
Surgery day was long but I'm so happy I chose the doctors and clinic I did the staff were so unbelievably amazing and attentive. I went in at 7 was brought to my private room chnged into robes and slippers and cap. Talked to my rn for a while she gave me a heating blanket. Then the anastheiaioligist came in and told me what he was going to do and that he would be there the entire time. Then u saw both doctors and then into the operating table. I didn't even feel te IV and I hate needles wasnt even a prick and then I was in recovery. I had no pain at all when I woke up, my cheat was tight and the worst part was actually that my tail bone was a but bruised and my elbows were stiff. The doctors both came by after and so did the anastheiaioligist. My surgeries took about 5 hours, and I was supposed to leave recovery after 2 hours I was doing so well but when I got up to pee I had such such bad nausea I ended up in recovery on oxygen for another two hours. Long day was 7 when I got out. Went home not much pain crappy sleep back to have the fri age tubes out in the morning that felt so awful really gross and burning . The pain now is that my back is siezing up from sitting allday in recliner, u get pecs every six hours and the hour before the fifth hour is extremely uncomfortable throbbing everywhere. Now today it's a good things my nerves re coming bCk in my cheat but the pain I really bad little stabbing burning pains all over my breasts hurts so bad. I have no bruising in my face never got any actually only a Tad of swelling in cheeks, boobies are high and tight and back hurts I can move my arms around though slowly, wash and rub myself put on cream etc. I'm sticking to liquids like I said sugar free jello, protein shakes, yogurt smoothie Etc. I can't taste a damn thing at all yet.
So nose- never bruised, tiny bit of swelling, very stuffed up, obviously can't breathe have splints inside an outside still. Only a dull ache between pecs.
Breasts- tightness subsiding stiffness subsiding, nerve endings coming back is excruciating, incisions don't hurt in armpit a but uncomfortable when I wah them.

Still on bed rest, sleeping patterns suck, I try o walk around and stretch after my perca kick in. I walk around squat go I the washroom fine, get myself food and vitamins.

Vitamin wise I'm taking arnica, magnesium citrate, cellfood, zinc, b,d, and a ton of stuff for my colon.
It technically post op day 3 and I've barely pooped so bloated and backed up feels awful. Hopefully I can soon. I think I've done so well because I was so healthy but also my supplements. Cellfood and magnesium citrate repair muscle tissue and nerves etc. arnica pills and traumeel gel for bruising and swelling. I haven't taken many pics as you an imagine double sugery and the longer anaesthesia time makes for a groggy few days will take some tomorrow and post again. Glad I chose 300 thy look very proportionate so at an modest which I what I wanted can't tell anything about nose with cast on but doc said it went really well.
