Melissa’s Blog: 24 hrs. after surgery
May 28th, 2009
It’s only been 24 hours after my surgery and I feel amazingly great! So great, that this morning I woke up, carefully showered, pulled a shirt over my head and then joined my friend for some coffee at the local coffee house. To simply describe how I feel might be a bit baffling to the everyday human mind. But I have to tell you; I am amazed at how great I feel so soon after surgery and I am very thankful to Dr. Bashioum. His expertise in cosmetic surgery makes all the difference in my recovery process. All I’ve needed is a bag of ice replaced every couple hours to help reduce the swelling and Tylenol every four hours for pain.
Take a look at the photo of pink balloons that greeted me on my arrival back home.
Big, bigger, best!
For the next three weeks, it’s crucial that I abide by the after-care instructions, by focusing on what is appropriate and inappropriate to lift, pull or push. I’ve made a pact with myself to stop and think before doing anything risky and if it’s something I’m a little bit unsure of, to ask for help.
From the moment that I decided to have breast enlargement surgery, to the present day where I’m lying on the couch recovering, I have to say that this has been an amazing experience which has gone particularly well so far. You might find this hard to believe, but I actually have a favorite part in all of this. And that is when, just a few short hours after surgery; I delicately unzipped my shirt to see the finished product. As I look down, I saw two beautifully perky, symmetrical breasts staring right at me. “Well hello,” I said. “Welcome back!”
