From A's to Awesome (C's) :) ! -
Lately there has been an itching feeling around the side of my breasts but this sensation comes randomly throughout the day... not sure if that is normal or not but I'll check with my surgeon when I see him again.
Very excited to see the progression over the next couple of months! :)
Breast have a constant stinging feeling
Also, has anyone else experienced a stinging/burning feeling in their breasts after surgery?? Just wondering if this is normal or not.
Hi all! I had my breast augmentation on Monday! ...
I had my breast augmentation on Monday! Currently on my 4th day recovering :D!! I was a small A to start off with. Got 375cc high profile silicone implants. I initially wanted a moderate plus profile but my surgeon suggested that the high profile 375cc would fit my breast diameter better.
Day 1: Surgery was only 1.5 hours. Awesome surgeon and staff! Went home and can't really recall too much of what happened. I remembered feeling groggy and slept for most of the day. I had a really hard time sleeping because I couldn't find a comfortable position for my back and boobies.
Day 2: Extreme pain when I woke up!! Day 2 was the hardest for me because the swelling came in and my body didn't react well to the antibiotics or meds. Needed assistance eating, going to the bathroom, standing up. Spent most of the day on the couch :). Started to get back pain. Hard time finding a comfortable sleeping position again.
Day 3: Pain is becoming more bearable but I am now bloated as a balloon because of the pain meds. Started taking a stool softener because I haven't pooped in days :(. Trying very hard not to move my arms so my blood drains are also clearing up! Today I went off of Percocet and am taking Tylenol with codeine.
Because of the bloating my surgical bra is digging into my skin which caused a rash :(. Bought Cortozome and applied it itchy areas which was a huge relief!
Day 4: Not as bloated today! Pain has subsided but I now feel tingling sensations by my nipples. Continued to take the stool softeners but no action yet. Boobie area is still very swelled up but excited for the final results in the months to come.
Provider Review
Dr. Benjamin Chu and his staff are excellent!!! He is truly a master in the art of breast augmentation and lives up to his reputation of creating natural, amazing looking breast. I was referred to him by several friends who also went to him for breast augmentation procedures. Dr. Chu's staff is amazing as well!! They always called to remind me of my appointments and made me feel comfortable throughout my entire breast augmentation journey. Dr. Chu is very knowledgable and was able to answer and explain to me all the questions and concerns I had related to the surgery. Prior to the surgery, he helped me choose the perfect implant size in proportion to my body. He was very honest in advising me if the size that I wanted was too big/small to achieve the results I desired. Because of his 20+ years of knowledge in this practice, I couldn't be happier with my new and improved breast! After the surgery Dr. Chu followed-up with me several times to make sure the healing process was going smoothly. He monitored my progress with pictures and is very thorough on his post-care instructions. Dr. Chu makes himself available to his patients -- he told me to never hesitate to call or come in if I had any questions or concerns. I appreciate that he cares about my boobies just as much as I do!! Overall, I am extremely happy with my results and definitely recommend Dr. Chu if you want beautiful boobies :).
