35-Year Old Mom with 2 Kids. 250/275(?) Cc Mentor Mod + (I Guess?)

The first few days were tough. But all of a sudden it has been 10 days?! Where did my time go??

Anyhoo, my girls are softer and look better day after day. Surprisingly I have neither boobie blue nor boob greed! In fact I'm grateful of being "corrected". All I want is to have perfectly healed incision and no capsular contracture. I just want to restore my size.

I often thought about how I made up my mind about the size. I remember those milk-pumping days. When they were in full-swing, I can pump 250cc each on average.

I really want to stay small but full at the same time. It was really hard to imagine what the outcome would be. How do I know if the surgeon is on the same page. In the end it feels like I took the leap of faith.

Now I thought of those pre-op appointment realizing that your aesthetics should aligned with the surgeon's. When the feeling is right, then can choose the look and leave the rest to the expert.

So here I am. Mentor 275cc(still don't know the profile) makes me full but small at the same time, and they feel like part of mine since the first day.

Happy healing!

Today is gorgeous!

After lunch with hubby, I decided to dress up to run errands. I showered, dried my hair, and put on my contact lenses. I feel amazing. I'm ready to DRIVE.

But things started going wrong right from the garage. I might have slammed the door too hard, or simply waited for the reaching-seatbelt moment to happen. Suddenly feel a zing and followed by tightness in my chest.

The alarm raised in my head.

Then there's the back ally. It's probably the only unpaved ally in the whole city. BUMPY.

I expect that I only have to shake my boobs about 30 meters till the paved road. But with burning sensation in the chest and zings from all around the boobs , holding the steering wheels becomes a big deal; not to mention the bumpiness.

Instantly I know I should go home. It's not possible to deal with all the traffic and parallel parking. So I turned around. 500m is good enough.

I listened to my body. Driving can wait.

Yesterday (post op day 6) was the first time post op appointment with Dr P. When I took off my top he had the expression of "viola!" With an opening hand gesture. It cracked me up a little.

As the look and shape-wise my girls are perfect. The only thing I was concerning is that there one area under my left arm and beside my incision was VERY tender and swelling. When DR peel off the dressing I can see some bruises too. He didn't know what that was but want me to see him again next week to make sure it goes away.

He instructed me how to massage my girls (10 times a day) and continue shower with Germi-Stat (antimicrobial skin cleanser) for another week. The only thing I forgot is that, when should I get sized? I mean just to buy one surgical bra. I cannot remember he said this week or at 2 weeks.

I usually had not much to say during our appointments because he always covered every questions before I could speak a word. He is a very experienced and busy surgeon but handle my concern seriously.

Last week it used to hurt when I tried to lay flat on my back; but not anymore since yesterday. Which means I need to go back to sleep with my kids (we co-sleep) now. Maybe I should tuck the pillow inside my pj again. Hmm...

I also have some random thoughts... I was petite, lean, and A/B before BA but have unusual upper pole fattiness. So when a bra that fits my breasts sometimes "dig" into my upper pole. Or if I want to take my upper pole fatty tissue into account then there would be some empty space inside the cup, as if my upper pole fattiness was meant for bigger boobs. Unfortunately there were no bigger boobs. So the fatty tissue spilled out to the armpit. It looked disgusting (again, we are our worst critics).

Now after my "breast reconstruction", the fatty tissue is no longer an issue. What can I say? It's a happy coincidence?

Overall I'm very happy!
