If you were my friend getting breast implants, here are 10 things I’d want you to know 🩷🍒
1. Your implants WILL sit too high at first. Which doesn’t sound like a bad thing, right? 😂 But, usually they’re WAY too high. We lovingly call this the “Franken-b**bs” stage. High, tight and sometimes a little square. Give your body time- this isn’t your final result.
2. Get your recovery spot ready. Pillows, medications, water, snacks, phone charger - all within reach. A pillow fort helps to keep you from rolling onto your side. And my stomach sleepers? That’s a no-go during early recovery. We’ll tell you when it’s safe.
3. Let people help you. Your hair, kids, dogs, laundry. You don’t get extra credit for doing everything yourself after surgery.
4. Healing can feel weird. Tightness, itching, little zings, changing sensation. Tell us what you’re feeling so we can help you sort through it.
5. Let’s talk about pooping. Anesthesia, pain medication, and less movement can slow things down. Stool softeners +you = BFFs 👯♀️. You can start one week before surgery, following our pre-op instructions. Future you will thank you.
6. Ni**le sensation can change. More sensitive, less sensitive or numb. It can improve as you heal, but some changes can last. Let’s discuss this before surgery.
7. Adding a lift means more incisions to heal. A small spot may need extra care or a stitch may work its way out. Send the photo. Call us. Don’t manage it alone.
8. Feeling good isn’t clearance to do everything. You’re still healing inside- even when you’re bored and ready for the gym. Follow your restrictions. Yes, even my “I heal really fast” girls. ☺️
9. You can want this and still have an emotional day. We call it the “emotional rollercoaster,” and it can happen with any cosmetic surgery. Poor sleep, swelling, soreness, and a changing body can bring up a LOT. A “what did I do?” moment doesn’t mean you made the wrong decision. Talk to us- we’re here for this part, too.
10. Your recovery belongs to you. Your friend’s timeline, or a stranger’s reel, isn’t your body’s deadline. If something concerns you, reach out. You’re never bothering us.
