Yesterday I had a super early appointment with Dr. Spiro. 8 am. Rise and shine for the plastic surgeon's office! I knew I'd either get my last expansion or he would tell me that I was all done. Well, I received my last expansion. I was filled up with 50 more cc's for a final total of 390cc's. Not bad, not bad at all. I wasn't really in the mood for an expansion, but I guess I really didn't have a choice.
The expansion didn't hurt at all. I could feel my chest expanding a bit, but nothing too crazy. It feels like I am wearing a super tight sports bra again. They didn't get super hard, they are still as squishy as before, just a bit bigger. I popped some Advil throughout the day yesterday, and some today too. I am feeling a little uncomfortable and sore, but it's not too bad. I am feeling a bit cranky from the expansion but that'll go away (I hope for everyone's sake!).
Dr. Spiro is no longer happy with my bra choice so I went out today to find new ones. The little red bump on my left breast is from my bra and it's irritating my skin. He said I need to be very careful because he doesn't want it to become an ulceration. I can't feel it since I am numb so he wants me to find a different bra, one with no seams to be exact. Right now I have surgical padding in my bra as a barrier and I think it's working. My sports bra made some pretty horrible indentations last night when I was sleeping so I am hoping that these new bras will be better.
I was also told that once the redness heals on my left breast I'll be able to run and lift again! YAY! I am super excited for that. I went out for a "brisk" walk today since it is so beautiful out. It felt good to be outside and on the move.
I really hope these new bras that I bought today work. I'm tired of buying bras!
