My breasts were very small, so I had thought a lot about breast implants.. For a long time, I only worried about it by myself and didn’t have the courage to go for a consultation..
Then one day, while looking at Instagram, I saw an ad that caught my eye, clicked it, and applied for a consultation..
Until right before going to the consultation, I started worrying again: Should I not go? Why did I apply.. I’m scared.. and so on.. Since I had already applied, I gathered a lot of courage and visited.. As I had the consultation, I became convinced that it had to be this place, so right after the consultation, I scheduled surgery for the following week..
On the day of surgery, I was scared, but on the other hand, I was also excited..
The surgery took about 1 hour.. When I woke up, I was in the recovery room..
On my breasts were a compression bra and bandages...
Huh? But everyone said it hurts so much, so why doesn’t it hurt? Is it because the anesthesia hasn’t fully worn off? I stayed in the recovery room for about 30 more minutes, then took a taxi home..
(For reference, my incision is at the inframammary fold.)
After resting a bit, it was already evening, and I needed to sleep.. I wondered a lot whether I should sleep sitting up, but I just raised my pillow and lay down slightly leaning against the bed headboard.. There was no problem at all when lying down.. but when getting up, the bandage pulled, and it started to hurt a little bit.
I thought, I guess the pain is starting now.. and fell asleep.. When I woke up, it was the next morning.. lol I didn’t feel any pain and slept like a log...
When I got up the next day, it pulled a little more and hurt a little more than the day before, but it wasn’t to the point of feeling like dying, as other people say. For me, the painful feeling
wasn’t pain from the surgery. Since there was a bandage over the bra, it felt like the stitching area of the bra was digging into my skin, that kind of tightness and pain.. They said I had to keep the bandage on until day 3.. Ah.. On day 2 after surgery, I took a taxi and went to work, and on day 3, I drove slowly to work. (I just watched out for high speed bumps and didn’t turn the steering wheel all the way, only putting my hands up halfway to drive.)
Day 2, day 3... I was gradually getting used to it.. but because my breasts were compressed.. this time, the area around the bandage and bra got itchy.. I barely endured it until day 3, and on the morning of day 4.. after removing the bandage.. it felt so refreshing.. I felt like I could live again.. This was also the first moment I saw my breasts.. ^^ Excited, excited..
Finally, rounded breasts.. The surgery went well.. When I asked the breast size, they said the bra would be about a D cup.. I was very satisfied too.. I liked that I didn’t get greedy, chose a moderate size, and the shape was so natural.. Thank you so much, doctor. ^^
Now 1 month has passed since that moment, and the breasts that felt firm at first seem to be settling little by little and becoming softer, but they still haven’t fully settled, so I sleep wearing a bra even at night... I hope time passes quickly.
