Recovery Timeline
The op before me took longer than expected so I didn’t get put to sleep until 6.15pm and started waking up around 7.30pm. All the staff were lovely and not at all judgmental. I couldn’t praise them enough. My right is more painful than my left and I ended up having a stronger painkiller in the night. I didn’t sleep much. The surgeon came to check on me on the evening of the surgery and the next morning and although the right is a little more tender and swollen than the left he was happy with it. When I looked the first time even though they feel tight and tender they looked really good. When I supported them with my hands when I got out of bed for the first time I almost cried as it felt so good to have a handful of breast in each hand

Hubby and the kids came to collect me about 10.30am the next morning. I went to bed when I got home to catch up on some sleep. At the moment I think he's done a really good job.

Day 1,2
I sat around watching videos or cat napping all day to allow my body to heal. Hubby and the kids provided my meals and did all the house work and helped me sit forward when I needed to get up from the chair or out of bed. My breasts are firm and tight and the cleavage area skin shiny with a small rash.

Day 3
I can sit up by myself now without having to be pushed forward and although I'm taking the painkillers I'm taking them less often and probably could drop a few but I'm too much of a coward to. My appetite is back, I’m sleeping well but not doing anything and still tired very easily.

Day 4
I no longer need to take any painkillers

Day 7
My left nipple is more sensitive.

Day 8
Drove for the first time. Still very firm although a little softer as the swelling has reduced.

Day 9
My energy level is back to normal

Day 10
Sleeping with just 2 pillows.

Day 13
Stitches removed and advised to moisturise the wounds with non perfumed moisturiser to soften the scar. The PS said I would see the final results between 2 to 6 months.  Follow-up appointment in 3 months.

Day 14
Started to lift up to 10lb in weight with ease.  Returned to work.

Week 2 ½
Easily lift arms above head.

Week 3
"Morning boob syndrome" gone (an achey feeling first thing in the morning that goes within minutes of getting up and moving around.

Week 4 1/2
I can sleep on side as breasts now feel softer. Nipples sensitivity returning to normal

Week 4
Returned to gym doing lower body work out

Week 5 1/2
Now including upper body work out in the gym starting with lighter weights

Also started wearing normal bras and no bra at night.

Conclusion

I am very happy with the results and feel I have the natural look I was hoping for.  If you decide to have anatomical implants choose a surgeon who is experienced doing them.  A surgeon who is experienced using anatomical implants will place them correctly and the risk of rotation of the implant is greatly reduced.  I would also recommend having a plastic surgeon, FRCS(plast) who is a BAPS and BAAPS member.
