Anyone having breast augmentation in July/August?

Its 6 am where I am and I'm leaving in 20 min! Thanks for your support! I'll keep posted! :)

Checking in! I'm going tomorrow Aug 17 at 8 am. 450 cc in both and fix a slight asymmetry.

July 20th I had 460cc moderate profile under the muscle. All is healing well but I'm having a lot of trouble finding clothes to fit.

I read about breast implants and BA and I'm trying to fully understand the difference between the both and do people ever have both done at the same time or just one or the other?

I'm getting BA on August 1st! I'm excited and nervous! Pam1327, what size are you going with?

Hello Ladies,

I lost over 100 pounds 22 years ago, and now at 50 years old I finally have some money to take care of my embarrassing scars of my past. I am scheduled for a brachioplasty and mastopexy with implants July 27th. I am so excited. I really appreciate this site and have used it quite a bit. No one could fully understand what this is like unless they have been down this road. I know that a year ago, I had no idea what all this entailed, and I still am pre-surgery.

Good Luck To All

I'm glad that my primary MD gave me additional testing before my SX. Ladies do you know if its okay to have liquids after the SX(surgery)? Just wondering.

Yes, I had to get a complete physical, which included a CBC (among other blood tests). I think that is pretty standard for everyone. Good luck!

I had my 2nd consult today. I'm so ready for my BA in 2 weeks.
Did you ladies had to get some blood work done before the SX? I have an appt tomorrow for my CBC.

Most, if not all, breasts ride "high" after surgery, and this can last up to a month or longer. This is only because they are swollen and they need to settle down in the made pocket. I am a little over 2 weeks post op now, and still wearing my chest strap to help push them down. They are not riding as high as before, but still aren't settled completely. I'm sure in about another week they will be perfect :)

I was just wondering are all breast after surgery will ride up high?

I am now four days post op from my ba. Today is first day I haven't used any percoset. Just tylenol and 2 mg valium once so far for muscle pain and spasm. Both breasts seem huge, high, and swollen at the moment. I go for my first post op visit on wednesdayamd am eager to see suture,strips removed. Intermittently feel searing pain in right breast along incision but sure that is normal.

I did not ice. I was told by my PS not to, so I listened. I don't recall ever really feeling like I needed to though. However, I did use an ice pack from home for my neck to help me relax. I was also given some pellets from my surgical coordinator to help with bruising, swelling, and pain. It was called arnica, and I took it 2-3 days before (3 times a day, 5 pellets each time) and all the days after surgery until gone. They really helped me!

I bought ice packs from makemeheal.com. My PS said to only I e the first 48hrs so it was more of a waste if money. My PS had sent me home with a ice pack so I just used that. I would call your surgical coordinator for you PS and see what they will be sending home with you so you don't waste money. Another thing I did buy and was happy with from the website from above was pr-op and post-op vitamins. They have helped greatly!

Hi ladies, I was reading the past months aug. There were a few that iced after surgery. Did anyone iced? Just preparing myself
It's good to hear that all of you are recovering nicely.

Don't remember much, I remembered getting pre-op'd and then waking up saying okay, lets do this I'm ready now, haha. It seemed like 5 minutes but i woke up with TWINS! nice! the first couple of days was just being happy with pills and not sleeping (I would suggest a heating pad for your back, if your not used to sleeping on it) took off the bandages on day 2 and was taken back by how they look, i know i have to wait for them to drop but i don't know why i wasnt expecting that, lol. That day i was super sore, just getting the bandages off and i stopped the pain pills and switched to tylenol, i am a single mom so the sooner i can get off the hard stuff and on to tylenol the better. I did all my stretches and impant displacements like clockwork and the next day i had no pain, just tightness :-) I could have drove on day 3 but I wasn't in a rush to go anywhere. I drove 1 1/2 hrs home (was at families for recovery) on day 5 and was feeling fabulous. I will say I got cocky and over did alot that day with my son and was super sore when i woke up today... I had to get big Band-Aides to hold down the nippage :) but all in all, so happy with how easy this was... I was so worried about pain, but all in all temporary soreness is worth the happiness we will all have a couple of months down the line, not to mention all of us being some HOT MOMMAS, CHICKS, what have you...

Same here!

Same here! Only took muscle relaxers for 2 days, then tylenol 500 mg after that for about a week or so. That seemed to work well for me! Really not a lot pain at all. More tightness and soreness.
