Day 10 Post-Op
Sorry I haven't updated in a bit, hope everyone is doing well!
So I went for my 1 week post-op appointment a few days ago and everything looked good. The one incision on my right side was a little puffier than the left.. The right was also the side that had some blood on the gauze the day I got home. My mom said as I was walking out to the car after surgery I lifted my right hand to lean on the wall, which I shouldn't have done obviously but I was so out of it I don't even remember doing it. So I think I may have stretched the incision at that time :/ that may have been where the blood came from and why the incision on the right looks a little worse than the left. I'm still not wearing any bra's, doctor said not to at my 1 day post-op, not even the sports bra type bras that I bought for after surgery. He showed my mom the 'massages' she was supposed to help me with. They showed her how to do it because they said I wouldn't want to because it might hurt. It's not what I expected at all! I thought the massages where to help the implants settle and come down a little, so I thought it would just be rubbing on top of the breasts and chest... nope! He literally pinched down at the bottom of my breast, pressing down really hard to make sure he got the implant, and pushed it up to my clavicle. He said it was to keep the "pocket" open that he created during surgery. It didn't hurt really, I wish he would've showed me how to do it because my mom isn't being good about doing it. She's afraid of hurting me -_- So I'm going to call Monday and ask to come in so that they can show me what to do.
I really wish I could workout :( I feel like I could do some stuff but I'm not gonna try.. not worth ruining my new boobs!
Going shopping next week for an outfit to wear to my husbands homecoming! :) It's so close and I'm excited!!
Question: When did you first go to try on bras and get sized for new bras? I wasn't sure if I should wait til they settle a little more or if that even matters? I feel like they're still kinda high up.

Post Op Day 4/5
So yesterday (PO day 4) I worked 15 hours (mostly babysitting)... ugh, I'm sore today.. it was also my first time driving and that wasn't bad except for when I had to turn :/ Taking it easy today at home and trying to get some homework done. I'm off the pain meds and muscle relaxers. My antibiotics are done tomorrow. The whole this has been much easy than I thought it would be :)
How long before they start to soften up??? It hasn't even been a week but it feels like it's been soo much longer and I'm ready for some soft boobies :)
They are looking really good though, can't wait to see what they look like once they settle more :) Love my doctor and the size we chose :)

Post Op Day 3
Not much to update.. I took a shower today and had my hair stylist shampoo my hair for me at her salon. Figured it would be easier than doing it myself lol. Pain/Soreness is MUCH better today.. in fact I only took 1 pain pill this AM, I have been at home and taking it easy since my BA though.
I took pictures today but they look the same as yesterday, even though I feel less swollen.
Going to babysit tomorrow for about 12 hours, we'll see how that goes and how it feels to drive.
Hope everyone has a good weekend!!
