Before/after Motiva Demi inframammary incision + accessory breast removal 275 cc on both sides Day of surgery: arrived at 3, surgery at 4 I fasted for 8 hours, arrived at 3, met the director, and went into the operating room, but I was not very nervous! I lay on the operating table, the anesthesiologist said anesthesia was starting, and then I drifted off.. Then they woke me up and told me to wake up. As soon as I got up, I lowered my head and checked my breasts first. They moved me to the recovery room, and when I asked the time, I think it was between 6 and 7!! I tried not to sleep, kept my eyes wide open, and moved to the inpatient room. Only then, maybe because of the anesthesia, I felt dizzy and the rib pain was severe It felt like my ribs were digging into my flesh.. I could barely sleep at all.. The hospital gave me pumpkin porridge and beef porridge twice. Then around 9 a.m. the next day, the hospital shampooed my hair, so I washed my hair and was discharged!
Post-op days 1-4: Because of the rib pain, even if I slept for a long stretch, it was only 1 hour Looking at cafe posts, people said it gets a bit better once the compression bandage is removed, but for me it seemed similar... I really kept alternating between thinking why did I do this and feeling comforted when I saw my enlarged boobs! Still, I could move my arms fairly freely, so I opened bottled water caps and washed my hair by myself. Post-op days 5-9: As time passed, the rib pain was definitely almost gone, and daily life became more comfortable. I went in for care on day 6! I saw the director, and because when I had my pre-op exam they said I have a body type that bruises easily, I did get some bruising after surgery, but now it is gradually fading haha. They told me to keep wearing the upper band and corrective bra as they were, so I said yes and threw away the cotton padding, but it turns out the manager said it is better to keep cotton padding at the sides of the breasts! So now I’m roughly putting the cotton padding back on the side breasts.
Post-op week 2: The swelling has definitely gone down a lot, and the upper bulging has also come down a lot, but my breasts are still firm! It is fascinating to see the shape gradually trying to settle. There is almost nothing uncomfortable now, except it is still a little hard to raise my arms completely overhead, and overall I’m satisfied. I hope the swelling stops going down now
