Hospital: MD Surgery Motiva 335 cc on both sides Incision site - transaxillary Chest circumference 70 (I also had accessory breast removal done at the same time, and since it’s a breast surgery clinic, the accessory breast removal could be covered by indemnity insurance, so I went ahead with it.)
Breast surgery was something I had always thought of like a dream, like I should do it when I have enough money, I definitely should do it when I have time~ I think that was how it was lol. Maybe it was even more so because I had lived wearing padded bras all the time... haha
Here, if you want, you can be hospitalized for free, so I was admitted on the day of surgery too. They prepared everything I needed in a private room, so there wasn’t really anything I had to bring!
But since I’m a snack fiend I brought some snacks in case I got hungry late at night, and I also made sure to bring sleeping socks in case my feet got cold.
On the day itself, it was painless, but the recovery period was about 3 days?? I think from the evening of day 2, I was able to live without much trouble. Before that, opening and closing doors is a bit hard... You absolutely can’t raise your arms overhead, and it’s hard to take clothes off and put them on. It’s the kind of level where it’s really nice if someone helps you! And since I really had almost no original breast tissue, I think the feel is softening more slowly, so it still feels a bit firm. (I’m writing this in case anyone is curious about the feel.) On days when I get Caps treatment, it feels like it relaxes a bit and gets loose, but... maybe because the weather is cold these days lol, it still doesn’t seem like it has that soft, spreading feel yet.
But from around two months, the upper bulging disappeared! I don’t remember exactly when it started, but I think from around the one-month mark, the breasts slightly came down. They said I didn’t need a compression bra, so I didn’t wear one, and because of that I was secretly a bit anxious(?) about the shape, but they came together on their own. Nipple sensation has almost all come back too, and now I’ve started exercising again, but I still can’t do upper-body workouts lol. I’m scared just in case lolol. Originally, I used to make sure to go bowling and screen golf once every two weeks on weekends I’m going to wait, thinking that once a bit more time passes, I’ll probably be able to enjoy them again... haha
