Im scheduled for dec to have a breast aug. Ive...
Im scheduled for dec to have a breast aug. Ive been wanting to get them done for about 10 years now (im 26) and I finally got the courage to get a consult. I was worried the PS would tell me I needed a lift or that I should wait until we are done having kids to have them done. I have one child and breastfed for 15 months my breasts are deflated and I am sick of feeling self conscious about them and dont want to wait any longer!!I So I scheduled the surgery and am totally excited and nervous! I have an auto immune disease and have worried myself into having a flare up. I called my PS nurse last night to ask her when the last possible date of taking oral corticosteriods would be so that I can get myself all clear before the surgery. My issue is that I have to do the surgery this dec, its the only time my husband will be off for a long period of time to help with our toddler. My PS nurse is going to call me back today with the answer to my question. Im so scared she will tell me that I dont have enough time to get the steroid out of my system before my surgery!! Anyone else have an Auto Immune disease and have implants?? Another question I have to ask, what does everyone suggest I stock up on to make recovery as easy as possible? I know my PS will give me more information at my Pre-op appt but since my appt is close to the holidays, we will be travelling before my surgery and I am trying to get all my christmas shopping and planning done before dec so any advice would be helpful! On a side note... I know a lot of you have gone through this and I think it helps to express concerns and put things in perspective so here I go..sometimes I feel guilty that Im going to get the surgery, like maybe I shouldnt disrupt what God gave me but then I see all these wonderfully blessed women and think why?? why didnt I get perfect breasts? Then with my autoimmune disease possibly causing me to have to reschedule my surgery it only makes me think maybe I shouldnt be doing this.. but I cant help but want to SOO BAD!! I want to feel sexy again, I want to feel confident and I dont understand why my body had to be distroyed/sacrificed to have a child when some women bounce back with no problem. So then 95% of me wants to do this more then anything so I can feel good about myself again and the 5% is just worried about things going wrong if this isnt what I am supposed to do.. Im sure most of you know men are not the best to talk to about things like this so I appreciate anyone taking the time to respond! Blessings and thanks!
