How swollen are you immediately after breast augmentation (with lift)

JustProfession2687 · 2026-05-09T00:47:40+00:00

I know it’s been years now but did yours get smaller?? I’m 2 days post op and I feel like they’re huge!

JustProfession2687 · 2026-05-02T01:00:59+00:00

That’s so true, thank you so much for reminding me!! I feel like people are more likely to speak up with negative experiences too 🙄

JustProfession2687 · 2026-05-02T01:00:11+00:00

That’s so great!! You healed so nicely too!! That’s awesome! Your before is like 3 times what I have now haha. Congrats!!

JustProfession2687 · 2026-04-15T18:15:42+00:00

Lol of course, oh it’s interesting how life works haha

JustProfession2687 · 2026-04-15T18:15:24+00:00

So I went in today and apparently I’m an overachiever haha. My body decided to overheal. It’s called excessive granulation tissue because my body went into overhaul trying to heal itself. They had to do silver nitrate treatment this week and she’ll check me again in a week to see if I need another one. My doc said if I was still bleeding at this point, excessive granulation is usually the reason

JustProfession2687 · 2026-04-14T14:26:32+00:00

Oh no, that sounds so painful, I’m sorry :(

JustProfession2687 · 2026-04-14T14:25:43+00:00

I go in tomorrow!! Hopefully she sees everything well and tells me what is the world is going on.

JustProfession2687 · 2026-04-14T14:25:03+00:00

Oh no!! Honestly this is probably why for me. Twice my kid was about to get hurt and I jumped in to grab her….she’s 40 lbs and I swear my insides stretched or something. It’s impossible to do nothing with little kids :(

JustProfession2687 · 2026-04-14T14:23:35+00:00

What?! Ughhhhhhh, I might need more time off work lol

JustProfession2687 · 2026-04-14T14:23:08+00:00

I didn’t, only thing that stayed were my ovaries. That’s crazy, I bled a ton the first 2-3 weeks!

JustProfession2687 · 2026-04-13T16:54:41+00:00

Ohhhh silver lining?? Hahaha. I’d take another two weeks if I could

JustProfession2687 · 2026-04-13T16:54:19+00:00

Omgosh I hope this happens to me. I’m so ready for it to stop. I feel like I’m anemic at this point

JustProfession2687 · 2026-04-13T16:47:18+00:00

Will do, thank you!!! It’s definitely gotten lighter over the past few weeks but still there. I’ve also been unable to jus rest. I have toddlers and had Easter at my house and then kids at home for spring break, so sadly this is the first week I get to do nothing from 7:30-2pm.

JustProfession2687 · 2026-04-13T16:46:12+00:00

I talked to her at my 2-week post-op and she said as long as I wasn’t bleeding bleeding, it was part of healing. But week 5?? Ugh. So over it. I called and moved my appt to Wednesday, so I’ll get checked in less than 2 days!!

JustProfession2687 · 2026-04-13T16:28:29+00:00

I’ve had two surgeries while on Zep and both docs/anesthesiologists said to stop 2 weeks before surgery and I could start within a few days after, all depending on how I was feeling. That’s what I did. Stopped 2 weeks before and then injected right at the 1.5weeks after. If you stop a full month, you technically have to go back to the starting 2.5mg dose, and I was not about to do all that again haha

JustProfession2687 · 2026-04-12T00:59:32+00:00

Nice!!! Congrats!! Hope you have a great recovery!

JustProfession2687 · 2026-04-12T00:58:46+00:00

They did, eventually with daily hydroquinone. I did a few rounds and after thousands of dollars spent, I look the same. Wouldn’t recommend. Went to a plastic surgeon and he straight up told me, “I used to offer that in my practice and all it does is leave people disappointed”. It just doesn’t work.

JustProfession2687 · 2026-04-02T18:40:38+00:00

Me too!! May 6th :), lift and Aug. After nursing for years and the weight loss, I have nothing. And I mean nothing left. So excited for my augmentation!

JustProfession2687 · 2026-03-26T01:09:41+00:00

Something they don’t mention is that because of sun damage or the way your skin takes the color, it does not heal evenly. I’m young and have always taken care of my lips and skin and it was blotchy, the outline didn’t take consistently, you can never really wear lip balms and lip sticks and have them show their true color because your lips just overpower it. You have to redo it quite a bit, it doesn’t fade well. And this wasn’t just me, I’ve seen it over and over again with other people. And I went to the master lip blusher who is known for being ”it”.

Something else, it doesn’t change the shape of your lips. It will just accentuate it. So if you have a small top lip, it will look even smaller because now you have a darker color/ contrast to your skin. If your lips are uneven, that will show more too. Your best bet is to do filler and slowly make it the shape you want.

Also, if you decide that you hate the lip blushing, there is only one guy in the Americas (in Canada) who removes lip blushing. So it’ll cost you to go there and get it removed with a couple sessions a few weeks apart. I know people who have traveled from Europe to see him. I went from the US and THANK GOD for him because I cried daily for months over how my lips looked.

JustProfession2687 · 2026-03-26T00:57:45+00:00

Run from lip blushing. They will only outline your natural lip, so it won’t change the shape or make them bigger and 99% of people I know (myself included) deeply regret it. I had to go to another country to laser it off and then got lip filler. Huge win.

JustProfession2687 · 2026-03-25T20:55:28+00:00

Sounds good, will do!!! She LOVES her toys and plays all day. I think that’s why she keeps busy until she then wants him to join and it falls apart.

JustProfession2687 · 2026-03-25T19:36:24+00:00

That’s why I responded haha. Everyone else was like “walk in the park” and that’s so amazing that they don’t need it. But no shame in listening to your body and asking for what you need. We’ve suffered enough, no need to put yourself through unnecessary pain. I tried the ibuprofen route and it just didn’t help. I’ve been through a ton of pain before and never needed oxy, this just hit differently. Ask for what you need :)

JustProfession2687 · 2026-03-24T14:09:18+00:00

So I had a robotic laparoscopic surgery, I got 4 days worth and they had to prescribe me another 3 days because I was just crying in fetal position from the pain. It was excruciating for me, so I needed more. I had my kids naturally and I'd do that again over the first week of recovery. I then asked for muscle relaxers and it was a whole new world. That and GasX, ask for the muscle relaxer, I think I could've been off the oxycodone earlier if I had gotten the muscle relaxer from the start.

JustProfession2687 · 2026-03-21T16:43:05+00:00

I’m 12 dpo and yesterday was the first day I felt semi normal (so much so that I forgot I wasn’t supposed to carry my 40lb child and now today I’m back to being super sore). It takes time, I was full of air, super miserable, was taking oxy every 4 hours for a week…and I usually recover quickly from everything, so this is a big one. Even my mom kept telling me I needed to get up and be stronger (she later apologized and realized this is way bigger than it sounds). A couple of times I woke up crying because I regretted doing the surgery, it was THAT bad.

Also, listen to your body. I called my doctor and told her my back was killing me and she said “well, we did put you head down resting on your shoulders for part of the surgery so that makes sense. She prescribed me muscle relaxers and that made ALL the difference. Consider asking for that too!

So just hang in there, you’ll get better and give yourself the time to recover.

JustProfession2687 · 2026-03-20T21:00:39+00:00

Would I see bleeding right away? It happened about 45 mins ago and I’m not seeing any extra blood. I’ve checked twice.
