Beauty things I want to do during my recovery week
So im due for my BA on a Friday then recovering from Saturday thru Thursday. That is six full days of rest. I have the following Friday off and was thinking of getting pampered somewhere. Is my immune system OK enough to get my hair highlighted and keratin straightened (bc of the fumes?? Can I get a microdermabrasion facial (bc of the peeling I usually get afterwards?) I just want to go back to work beautify-ed! What did you ladies do to pamper yourself post op?

That's a fabulous idea, i spent most of the time in bed too bloated and sore to want to face the world - for the first few days anyway. If you have someone to help drive you around, open doors for you etc and you you feel ok then go for it. Especially getting your hair done, its hard to wash/dry/brush your hair post op. I would have loved that actually! Just take it easy and don't do too much early on.

That sounds great! The day before my first ba I got a VI Peel, thinking the same as you, I would recover from both at the same time! It peels your face in sheets for about a week afterwards. So then later I had the boobs and a nice glow on my face to match!!

I wasn't allowed to get a manicure/pedicure and microdermabrasion facial the week after my BA. I had the same plan as you! Basically nothing that could introduce an infection to my body. My PS is pretty conservative though!
