WORTH IT$5,450
One Month Update! Everything is pretty much back to normal. I love the new me! I have been sleeping on my side, but am still afraid to sleep on my stomach. My boobs are getting softer each day. The scars are amazing,I can barely see them. The size I choose fits my body perfectly. Running is a bit uncomfortable still, but I have been wearing 2 sports bras, and getting used to them. The back of my tricep is still a little numb, which is pretty normal. Sometimes in the morning I feel a burning sensation in my side/boob. It goes away. I feel very confident, I just wish I could get back into my workout routine,its still hard to do lifting exercises/abs. It will get easier soon. If you are contemplating doing this surgery you should do it! I would do it again in a heartbeat. I get how people love plastic surgery. Uh Oh! Good luck to all the girls with upcoming surgery! Its So worth it! I cant wait till June when I can buy an underwire bra! YAH! I will update my post then.

3 weeks today and I feel great! On Tuesday I had another post op. I was super excited to her the strap off for good. It was a bit weird at first because you get used to it. I also got all my restrictions taken away. Dr. Bartell said I can do anything even run. I was super excited because I didn't think I would be able to until 6 weeks. I went to V.S and got 2 new bras. I know I know you are supposed to wait a few months but I couldn't wait. Dr. Bartell did say no underwire bras until he sees me in June. That sucks! My size right now is a 34D. My pain is very minimal. I can pretty much for everything except I haven't slept flat yet. I may try tonight. In the morning is when i feel pain. Its weird. Last night i did take a tylonol pm because i went for a 5 mile walk and i wanted to be safe just in case it was painfully. I can lift my arms almost all the way up. I walked again 5 miles today. I love them, I feel so much more confisoon, and I love how my clothes fit. I will post more. pictures soon. You wont believe the scars in my armpit. You can barely see them. Now i am supose to massage my boobs two to three times a. week. I expected it to hurt but it actually feels good. I was a little or any reason I had to do this again I wouldn't hesitate. It was well worth the pain, and the results are amazing!

Sounds like a rough road to recovery. You look great though! I was just asking E777 about how long Exactly you cannot raise your arms? Is it totally over your head or can you cheat to half way up?? This is a huge concern and i wonder what you think and what he told you? I am wanting to have the armpit incision with the same Doc as you used. I am SO worried about how long the recovery is (for going back to work) I do not have to lift a lot but 20 lbs sometimes 1 or 2 times a day otherwise 5-10 lbs 3 - 4 times, the rest all light work at my desk .... did you have lifting restrictions?...and for how long? Trying to figure out how to get the right amount of time off. It is frowned upon to take time off. I only get one week vacation per year and have a vacattion already bought and paid for. I could get medical time but what DO I SAY? Um,.... Boss, need a couple of weeks off....it's for a vanity procedure.... BA?? I would die if they knew too. A BA might be looked upon as a stupid reason to take off for my boss. Any suggestions there? Did you tell your work it was for a BA?

I had surgery on March 22nd was at work April 2nd. On Tuesday I had my post op. I no longer have any restrictions. I can lift my arms. Today is 3 weeks and I feel pretty normal. I love everything about them. Regarding lifting your arms half way for the first 2 weeks is a must. I couldn't shave my armpits for 2 weeks either. The scar is amazing too, barely noticeable. I'm very excited for you! You will be thrilled! I wouldn't hesitate to do it again if I had too. The results are so awesome, and so is Dr.Bartell!
I tried to ask this before and if you get the message I am sorry to double up - system didn't seem to work?
I wondered if you could clarify for me. Did you mean that it was a MUST to NOT use your arms half way up? or that it was a MUST and that you DID /COULD go half way up with your arm the first two weeks?

He tells you to keep your elbows to your sides at all times. I did this for 2 weeks. Trust me you wont want to lift your arms high.
lol, Yeah I figured it would hurt to lift you arms. Not funny right! How do you comb your hair, wash your hair etc? I wont have any help doing those things. Going back to work will be weird looking horrible and in pain too! That sounds horrible! How did you manage to keep your arms - elbows at sides? How did you manage at work?
