    Default I'm getting my implants next week, any advise?

    OK so I'm schedules for surgery a week from Monday. My sisters taking me. I'm getting 355/380cc under the muscle.

    Any advise on prep? Anything you wish you had availible while you were stuck in the house? Anything I should expect on prepare?

    I picked up all my narcotics, antibiotics and anti nausea and constipation meds. I'll prob pick some basic foods up from the grocery store.

    Any advise from personal experience would be just great! Thanks!

    If they tell you to use ice, use it all over your boobs, not just where they cut you. EVERYWHERE! I'm not kidding. I missed a spot in my cleavage with the ice and had massive bruising. Use frozen peas!

    Make sure you have someone to stay with you for the first couple of days.
    Comfy clothes, sweat pants and a button up shirt, nothing that goes over your head.
    Make some food that's easy to heat up, you're not going to want to cook.
    Have your prescriptions filled for when you get home.
    Books or mags to read.

    ^^ I second the not wearing anything that doesnt zip or button. I recall having to be cut out of a shirt that i got on but couldnt comfortably get out of the first week post op.

    IMO frozen peas are the best to ice with as they roll around and contour the boobies.

    Icing immediately gets the swelling down and the boobies in good condition quick, also mine looked really weird the first week not round at all kind of like torpedos pointing out/down....so dont judge them immediately.

    Mine got really round as the swelling went down.

    Also do the excercises that the doc requests immediately and religiously , it will make a difference.

    Its good to have food in the house so that you can just chill. Good luck!!!

    If you look at the link in my siggy, there are pics of mine at 5 days old. Frozen peas were my breast friend!
