I met with my PS in June. He said because I'm so small, I need High profile implants and he won't go too much over 325cc's. which dissapointed me cause I wanted to be a d cup. I'm leaning toward silicone. I pay on aug 19 for surgery. Do you think there's a diffrence in recovery time for saline vs silicone?

Prescriptions before surgery??
Hi ladies...
I called the office and asked if I could pay for my surgery before aug 19 (my post op). It's more convent to pay early, this way I don't have to worry about it. 4,615$ is what I had to pay the PS, I don't understand why the hospital won't let me pay early either?? They said they can't run my card till the day before the surgery. Seems odd to me, usually drs and hospitals "jump" if you offer to pay early. Any who, I was wondering if at my pre-op they give me the prescriptions and I bring them to the surgery? Or if I get them after? What do you get, like a Motrin 800, or something like a muscle relaxer and an antibiotic? Just curious... Just as long as I don't have to take Tylenol 3's, cause I'm allergic to codine, it makes me coocoo, lol. Can I refuse to take the pain pills, if they prescribe them?

I just had surgery yesterday, April 13th. Quick and easy to be honest.
Some doctors and you're prescriptions to the pharmacy about a week early but my doctor actually had them the day of for me, didn't want any chance of them getting lost or taken. I was given an antibiotic during surgery but went home with lortab (hydrocodone mixed with Tylenol), Valium (anxiety relief that also works as a muscle relaxer) and zofran (nausea). Some doctors give different types just make sure to talk it over with your doctor on what you're allergic to.
I personally haven't used the pain meds yet but I think when I get the wrap of today I might need them for the transition. Otherwise I've been using extra strength Tylenol for the aching.
Hope this helps.

Before pic...
This is my before pic... As you can see one boob is completely bigger than the other and is up higher than the other. The PS said he can get them close to perfectly even. This lopsided-ness has gotten worse after every kid I had (only 2) it's just sooo annoying... One tit pops out of the bra and one falls in the cup, and I keep having to pull it up all the time.

325 cc could possibly get you a D cup since you do have a small frame. The smaller the frame and band size the larger the implant will look and the larger the cup size will be, even if the cc amount does not sound very high. I am 22 days post op and I have 350cc/Moderate profile in my right and 300cc/High profile in my left. I measured at Victoria Secret last weekend and I measured 32D/32DD. Maybe when they drop more I will be a D cup, but def in that range.

Thanks jessayray, I know your probably right... I just want it to be noticeable for almost $6,000. My fear is I won't notice a diffrence :-/ I know I will, but it's in the back of my mind. Does anyone know the diffrence between general anesthesia and IV sedation?

I have 325cc hp & I'm measuring a 32DD/34D. Hope that's encouraging? :)

Most doctors will tell you there is not a difference in recovery time with either saline or silicone implants. This link in our Doctor Q&A discusses a similar question. Perhaps you might find the information helpful. Ideally you take your pain meds the first few days and gradually ease off of them. You can then take an over the counter medicine suggested by your PS for the days you go back to work. The prescription pain meds may make it difficult to work, drive or even stay awake. Be sure to consult with your PS on this. Keep us posted by clicking on "Add an Update to the Review" button below your first review entry!
