Nerve pain in breast???

2/11/13
I have had large breasts since I first got them in Jr. High. I was known as the one with the HUGE [RS bleep]. But I was also always slightly overweight. Over the past 2 years I have been experiencing a wonderful weight loss journey, even a pregnancy in between!! I am down a total of 50lbs, so you can imagine that my 36D turned into a 34B and seem to still be shrinking :/ Not only are the smaller, but because I have lost alot of weight they have access skin and slightly sag. My right breast sags a tad bit more than my left and is a little bigger as well. I have been self concious my entire life and now that I am 24 and have kicked butt in the gym to get to my 132lb size, I feel I deserve some help now :) I am 5'6 and wear size 8. My goal is to be a full C and a size 6. I had my pre-op 2/06/13 and decided to go with saline submuscular with the transaxillary incision. Doc and I agreed that we will be going 375ccs in my right breast and 425ccs in my right (due to their different size)
I was referred to Dr. Mirrafati from a friend. He currently has his saline implants at a promotional price for only 2,900!!! Half off! So I met with him and he made the whole pre-op comfortable! Like I mentioned I have always been so self concious, I have never let anyone see me naked in light, nope, not even my own boyfriends, or my current fiance :( Pathetic I know! So as I slipped off the gown, I felt my face light on fire! He first complimented me on my abdominal muscles I have achieved from workint out ;) That already put me at some ease. He went straight to the point as he took a look and feel at my breasts, he explained that my right one would need a small lift before the procedure. We discussed the different incisions available and then went on to talking about the lipo I will also be getting done in my lower abdomen and hips (lower back and obliques) Afterwards he brought in several saline implant sizes for me to try on in a temp bra. I first tried the 425ccs and was terrified of how enormous they looked on my frame lol. So he stepped in and suggested I go with 375 and 425 to put me at a complete full C. I pulled my shirt on over the temp bra and got to see an "idea" of what I will look like, though I know it is NOT precise! Done! I got my labs taken care of right there in the same room and filled out all my paperwork. I am very pleased with my meet and greet with Dr. Mirrafati! He was great, proffesional and had a fun personality as well. After all my papers were signed I paid a 995$ deposit (keep in mind this is for BOTH procedures)
I was prescribed vicodin, valium, keflex, and Zofran. Dr. Mirrafati went over my pre-op instructions very clearly. I was also given a surgical scrub for the morning of surgery.
I am 6 weeks pre-op and as you can imagine, find it hard to sleep everynight due to my excitement. 6 weeks is just way too long to wait, its not fair lol.
2/14/13 I am trying to get my surgery date...
I am trying to get my surgery date scheduled sooner than planned. I am heading there this weekend to do so and sign new papers, they guaranteed me a spot for the 12th, but I still want sooner lol. I was told to come in and see if they can get me in on the 5th!!! Fingers crossed
