1 week post-op It’s already day 7🥹 I still have a little pain in the epigastric area. There’s almost no bruising, just a little around the epigastric area.. I think it’s because of the compression from the surgical bra I constantly have that feeling like my milk is coming in, and when I lie down and get up, it tingles sharply. Sometimes my breasts feel so tight and full that they might burst. Honestly, the shape right now is not exactly natural yet… it feels like a piping bag My daughter saw a hallabong and said they look like huge hallabongs.... The tissue on the sides and bottom seems to be softening now, but the cleavage area is still firm! The shape is still settling, so every time I look, I wonder if this is right.. But the moment I see the upper-breast volume, my feelings change. I have upper volume that I never had before!! Instead of breasts that flowed downward from top to bottom, it feels like they’re standing and facing forward. Before, my nipples pointed downward, but now when I look in the mirror, they’re looking at me I’m already satisfied with just that!! Yesterday I received CAPS care and saw the director for a follow-up, and he said my recovery speed is really fast.. Almost a “crazy recovery speed”.. 🥹🥹 He said the swelling is going down quickly too and that the progress is very good.
“He said, ‘For you, while I was operating, I thought that aside from the shape, I should make it so you’d be even more satisfied with the upper volume. But wow, it turned out even prettier than I expected! I did such a good job with the surgery. You like it too, right? Now you just need the cleavage to form.’”
Hing.. Hearing that almost made me tear up for no reason... All the time I spent worrying and stressing by myself flashed through my mind
-Tape I developed a tape allergy and it was so itchy that I got permission and removed it on day 4. If you have sensitive skin, definitely tell them right away. There’s no need to endure it.
-Current condition I’ve graduated from the surgical bra, and I’m still wearing the upper band. I can shower too🧡 I was able to raise my arms all the way up from the day after surgery^^ But I tried to avoid lifting my arms whenever possible! I was cleared to sleep flat on my back, but I’m still a little anxious, so I’m sleeping propped up with 2-3 pillows. I’m walking 10,000 steps a day!^^ The prescribed medication strangely made my appetite explode, so I gained 6 kg in a week… I believe this is swelling and water retention. I have to believe it..
They’re still tight and firm, and I still have that feeling like they might burst, but with the upper-breast volume alone, my heart already gives it a pass. I hesitated even more because I’m in my 40s, but now I wonder why I only did it now. Once more recovery time passes, I wonder how much prettier they’ll get. These days I spend each day thinking about that
