Breast Implants: Stories

it seems like you didn't recover fully until about 2 weeks so why is this surgery dubbed "flash recovery 24hours" then?

They look great!!

If u didn't tell a single soul, who drove you to and from surgery?

I could go shopping. Next day I walked 2x for three block I did it by myself. I didn't tell a soul and it wasn't too bad. But I was home for 10 days walking and taking it easy

Hi I just wanted to know from your experience can you just recover from this flash BA surgery by yourself? Is there excruciating pain like in traditional BA? Or can you literally stand up and move doing daily errands in the same day. Because on tv they make it seem like you go into surgery and then wake up and you are able to go shopping the same day. But really your surgery turned out great! It makes me trust this doc a little bit more. Thanks!

I am 5 days post-op with a DIEP flap on one breast and augmentation on the other. You said that massage helped with the swelling. Can you describe how you massaged your breast. I am very interested in trying that.

Send me the workouts!

You look fabulous and completely natural. Don't worry so much! I had both of mine lifted, when I woke up I thought the doctor had put the implants on my collar bones, they felt so high. You had a lift on the left one, so as time goes on it will relax more and end up on the same plane as your right one. For a while it will seem higher, that's normal, but it will relax.

Focusing on leg work and core exercises is a good idea until you hit the 30 or 6 week mark, whichever your dr. said. You should be able to do crunches and pushups with no problem, that will strengthen your back and not disturb your sutures. For pushups, start out doing 5 at a time(not girl pushups, do them like a guy, legs extended, balance on your toes); work your way up to 25 or 30 at a time a day. Pushups combined with "good mornings" will give you strong shoulders and back.

Small c. I was freaking out because they looked huge but now 3 wks later they look perfect. I'm so excited. I'm so happy I trusted the doctor.

Oh 2 days later u will be able to move around but driving was hard! It made me super sore. How do I and u a personal msg so i can give you my number?

I'm so happy that I did it. I'm so happy

Hello, This is my first time signing on and posting. This question is for the lady in Walnut Creek who had her breast flash augmentation by Dr.G in Beverly Hills. I went in for consultation and I am after many years of thinking about it, going to have flash breast augmentation by Dr. G on February 18th. I am so excited, anxious, and so many emotions going on right now, but most of all can't wait to see my results. I am 42 years old, 5ft 2 inch, 109 lbs, and mother of two girls who are 5 and 7 years old. I am pre op a 34A and do not want to go big, not too noticeable. I was a full D when I breast fed, but totally deflated now. Dr. G would like to do 275cc in my smaller breast and 338cc on the larger to even out things. He said I would be a small C? I am going silicone for more natural. I am contacting you in hopes that you can give me any suggestions of what to expect after surgery. I read your postings and they are very helpful and you look wonderful!! I am a stay at home mom and will be able to take the day of surgery off and have a little lighter schedule for two days after. After that it is back to my very active day to day activities with the kids. I am very much appreciative to any input you may have. How are you feeling now? Thanks so much!! Oh, and you said that you got 350cc silicone, what size did that put you at?

Oh right now still feels really weird but with clothes on I feel and look great !! I'm getting more excited everyday!

Okay, for one, they are not bowling balls. For another, MINE should look that good. And lastly, you not only got a better bosom, you got your waistline back, too. With deflated boobs, you couldn't tell you had a waist at all. Now you can! A real bonus when you think about it. They look very natural for 3 days old. Congratulations! I speak from experience, and I would say your doc did a fine job, especially so since he caught on that you needed a lift on one side BEFORE he did the implants. Bravo!

Thanks for posting your experience. I'm interested in a BA with this PS too. Do you mind sharing the impant size? Did Dr. G help you select the impant? Has the pain improved? It might be too early to tell, but do they feel "real" or weird? Sorry for all the questions...you're day after photos look really nice, he did a good job, congrats!

Great, super helpful update.  

You say they look "huge".  do you mean that in a positive way, you like your new look? Hoping so!

Hey, just wanted to tell you when I had mine done in 1998 I was back in the gym after a month. And running with my implants has never been a problem. I think you will be really pleased at having your body shape "rebalanced" with fuller breasts. I remember my self-esteem was a few notches higher once I looked better in my clothes.
