Dancing With the Stars alum Lindsay Arnold shared everything you need to recover from a breast augmentation.
Arnold, 31, took to Instagram on Wednesday, January 15, to share everything she’s been using since going under the knife. Some of her cozy staples included grippy fuzzy socks, a heating pad, a plush sleeping mask and comfy bras.
She also has been using an orthopedic bed wedge designed for post-surgery, so that she can comfortably relax while still sitting up. (Most doctors recommend waiting six to eight weeks after a breast augmentation before sleeping on your side or stomach.)
Ahead of her surgery, Arnold ordered silicone sheets to help with scarring, a cold breast pack, a soft seat belt cover, a hoodie featuring drains that can connect to a post-op bra and a chest pillow to protect her chest while sleeping or driving.
Arnold has been keeping her fans in the loop on how she’s been recovering from the surgery. On Wednesday, she shared, “I’m feeling so much better today,” revealing in a video, “Not gonna lie, coming out of anesthesia yesterday was rough. I was super nauseous, dizzy [and] threw up anytime I stood up.”
Despite some discomfort, Arnold noted that “the pain has been totally manageable,” adding, “Very minimal!”
Arnold opened up about wanting a breast augmentation last month via TikTok, sharing that she wanted a “natural” look with “fullness and volume.”
Already a mom of two, Arnold said she wants to continue to have children with husband Sam Cusick in the future, confirming her doctor told her that it’s “totally OK” to get her breasts done before expanding her family.
Ahead of her surgery, Arnold told fans that she was “so excited” but also “nervous.” To keep her hair out of her face and comfortable, she parted it down the middle and wore her mane in two French braids. She also shared that she was “leaning towards” going with a 265cc implant to keep a moderate look.
