“2 Weeks Until Breast Lift and Augmentation! Yaay - Arizona”

Hello I'm new here and excited and nervous I'm scheduled for a lift and augmentation on the 16th!

I'm a 41 year old Mom and feel like now is the time to finally treat myself to this enhancement. I've dreamed since a teen to have larger breasts and after nursing my baby I feel like I could really use this procedure. I just look forward to my clothes fitting better and being a sexier version of myself.

I would love to hear results of ladies who have been through this or who are also waiting anxiously as I am!! I hope to continue to blog my entire journey with you.

Ok so I had a great dream this weekend that I had my surgery and saw my new look and was thrilled in my dreams cannot wait for reality.

I wish I could fast forward time and be on the road to my recovery. I think I would not be as anxious if I did not lead the lift too. Two and one half hours of surgery is a lot but after trying on the implants a few times I knew in my heart there was no turning back.

Last week was a relief in that I told my family what I'm doing. I knew they would be concerned and not totally supportive but at least it has sunken in now and we can talk about it and they will all be here for me through recovery. I know they just care and so cannot understand my choice .

My hubby and I cannot wait to go clothes shopping for me afterwards. I can't wait to wear a bikini top!! yahoo! Only 10 days to go!!

Ok ladies I'm so glad I finally did this. Im on day two since surgery and doing well. I won't lie I'm hurting and sore but amazed already by my new cleavage! I make sure to stay on top of the pain by taking. Ed's every four hours. My husband is a great nurse to me. It felt great to shower today. I'm not very hungry but am drinking lots of Gatorade. Will post before and after pics soon.

So worth it a dream come true to have the voluptuous shape I always wanted. I'm fortunate to have my husband caring for me like a queen. I'm still needing pain meds on day 3 but looking forward to being off them soon so I'm not so sleepy all the time. Today all my incisions look great already healing well thank God. I think if you are wanting to do this you should go for it as long as you have help to care for you and do your research it's so exciting.

Tomorrow will be two weeks since my lift/augmentation. I feel soo much better. I'm moving around so much more and feeling great about it. I put on a t shirt (tighter fitting one) today for the first time and WOW I feel so awesome. My breasts are still really high and they do hurt I'm not going to kid you, I'm still sore but did finally drive on Monday and it hurt but today was much better.
Tomorrow I'm getting my stitches out, cannot wait to add some pics here.

March 1, 2012 - TWO WEEK ANNIVERSARY!! WAHOO!
Well, it's now two weeks since surgery. All went very well at the Dr yesterday. I'm healing well and can start the scar cream now. I'm moving around almost back to normal schedule in life but cannot lift and vacum my house etc., but my hubby and parents have been helping me which is so nice. I was even up to preparing a dinner the other night since I do enjoy cooking. I'm glad I can now take Motrin I have been off pain meds for awhile now. Motrin helps the soreness for me. I'm wondering if I will get my period ontime or if this surgery will throw me off?

WEEK 3

I'm feeling good. Just a tight feeling on the scars under my breasts but I'm using scar cream 3x a day. I feel a slight "sloshing" feeling sometimes when I bend to the side. It's not a bad feeling just strange. I'm glad to hear that is normal. It's not like anyone else can hear it but it just was strange. Still so worth doing this!!

I can't believe 4 weeks have gone by. I am very happy with my surgery. I do feel sore still. I do not hear the "slosh" noise anymore. I mostly am sore under my breasts. I also am scared if people hug me too tight LOL
I've been very active this week. I do like how when I try on clothes I can fill the tops much better.

Hello!! I'm so excited about shopping for bras. I finally caved and bought a bra after only wearing camis for so long. It's been about 3 months since my surgery. I'm love shopping the clothes fit so much better. I pretty much fit into all my clothing just fill it in better. Especially strapless tops. I went to Vegas and really enjoyed going dancing and wearing a very low cut dress that I would never have been able to wear before (and with no bra) whoo hoo! I just turned 42 last week, I feel great!! I only have one more check up with my PS and that's it. It's been an awesome ride!

Hello. I have one more appt with my Dr and I'm all done. Yesterday went well. I noticed I'm feeling so itchy where my scars under the breast are. I am putting Mederma on but all must still be healing, I suppose I have to be patient all has been great but the itchy feeling is so annoying at times I just want to scratch. Some say that is the skin healing. All I know is today I wore a dress I could never wear it sat in my closet for 2 summers and today I felt great it in because I had something to hold it up on top ! LOL ;)
