7 weeks po and finally ready to show areola reduction scars before and after! Brace yourselves lol! - Hopkinsville, KY

My friend and I at work one day decided that we were going to have our breast done prior to our husbands redeploying. We went to see several doctors and we finally decided to go with my doctor. To be 29 at the time I had saggy breast after pregnancy, so he recommended implants with a lift and areola reduction. I decided to have my surgery after my birthday so that I would not be in any pain on my day. I started my vitamins and video diary a week prior.

On 18 Dec the day of my surgery my doctor asked me what I wanted and I said I want to have nice breast not to big but worth the money I'm paying.

After surgery I was informed that I have 400 cc's mentor smooth round high profile. Also I believe I received the Benelli lift because he chose not to do the full anchor lift. which I'm grateful, I did not want that scar.

The first day I was ok but when the meds started to wear off I must say it was very uncomfortable and felt like an elephant was sitting on my chest. I recommend that someone stay with you for at least 4 days or until you are mobile. So glad my mom flew in, I was her 30 year old baby, lol. I had major swelling which was primarily my fault because I can't sit still, but I did eventually. I was scared for one day because I thought my boobs were too big for my body (due to swelling) but my other friend who had surgery told me it takes awhile before the swelling goes away and that I would be please and just to relax. Which I did and now the swelling is going away slowly and looking great.

I am currently 8 days post op and feeling great. I spent three days on pain meds but came off because I don't like taking prescription drugs. The tightness in my chest is still here but not as bad. I have an appointment of Friday to escort my friend to have her surgery done and to have my stitches removed. Not to excited about that part. But I will post pics and continue to blog my journey.
