My First Post Op Appt

Well, today was my first post op appt and it went very well. I was very nervous to see my new breasts as they had been hidden all weekend in my surgical bra. When the time came to "unveil" them I was pleasantly surprised. They looked so much better than I had imagined them to look. Dr. Pousti showed me the swelling on the side (which I felt immensely) as well as some swelling on top but overall said I looked great. I was told not to put ice bags on them or do basically do anything except keep them in the surgical bra for another week. As of this point, I still did not know what cc's he had decided to use and when I asked him he told me he would have to tell me next week b/c my chart had been sent out for dictation. That was ok with me b/c I was happy with my result anyway. So he sent me on my way and said that I would come back next Monday for another follow up appt at which time they would show me how to massage them. My husband and I left there so very happy with my results and can't wait to see the changes over the next week. The staff told me that the majority of the swelling should go down in the next week (I sure hope so).
Later that afternoon, Eka from Dr. Pousti's office called and told me she remembered how anxious I was to know what cc's were used. She said she had just come across my chart and saw that I had recieved 450 cc's on both sides!
For now the pain has been pretty tolerable. I haven't taken a pain pill since 9am but am planning to take some now for my first shower and for sleeping. I know that I did way more than I should have today and am feeling pain now because of that. For that, I plan to sit on the couch and relax all day tomorrow! I'll post again soon. Thanks for reading!
