Day one post op.
I woke up early, in a lot of pain. I forced myself to get up and go to bathroom. I did it, but it hurt enough to draw some tears to my eyes. Ache and a burning sensation which feels much like bad burn which goes deeper than skin. I took the painkiller combo they gave which makes the pain go from brain splitting to manageable. I have ton of swelling, but some from breasts is gone. I'm hurting just sitting here, boob ache a lot, they don't feel as still as yesterday, but there's obvious BIG difference in volume despite some swelling already disappearing.
This stuff isn't for the faint of heart or anyone who's overly sensitive to pain. It will hurt! I'm predicting next few days being much like this. So far I'm managing without taking codeine, but I might if it goes any worse.
I'm going to follow the aftercare plan to every detail. Which is well written, there's the generic one and my surgeon wrote some extra details on his statement. What to do with the compression cloth is written down on hour accuracy which is awesome. Breasts are completely hands off for now, no bra, no pressure, no massage. The lipo area however needs to be massaged starting on day 3-4 post op. Mild exercise as soon as pain allows, but heavy exercise out of question for two months.
Post checks will be one month, three months and six months when the second phase will be done.
I'll try to take some pics today when I'm taking first break with the compression cloth and replacing the bandages. Outside damage is minimal, eight 2mm holes with one stich on each, stitches are the dissolving type so they will melt away just given time. I'm going to look quite beaten, lot of bruising and swelling. The final shape is already visible, but swelling makes it kinda messed up. I could already see the difference on my flanks, tummy and back already yesterday and my boobs are huge, they got so much bigger, but the shape looks less mature for now as the new tissue needs time to settle.
