What I envisioned in my mind is now what I see in the mirror! ....6weeks Post Op - Orlando, FL

I've wanted breast augmentation ever since my last child was born and that was 17 years ago. But you know how it is Mommies have other things on their minds. But now that I only have one left at home I have the time to think about me. MY goal is fuller uplifted breast. They do not need to be under my chin but would like to have upper pole fullness. Went in hoping to achieve this without a lift but was not opposed to one if needed.

My First consultation with Dr. Soto went great. My husband and I felt very confident in choosing him for my procedure. We had consulted with 2 other plastic surgeons and Dr. Soto was definitely our first Choice. I expressed my goals to him and then he answered every question I had before I had even asked.

He believes he can reach my goal without a lift. He showed us before and after photos of patients who also was borderline lift but only received implants and we were impressed with the results. So breast implants and no lift is what we have decided.

I went for my preop appt and again all my questions were answered and I was even more confident in my choice of Dr. and procedure. NOW I'm having a hard time waiting for my surgery date. I went for my pre op still questioning if I'm doing the right thing and was so put at ease about the surgery I am ready to do it today. No hesitation or anxiety. Dr. Soto and His staff are that good. Will update.

I'm one day out and very excited! Tomorrow can't come soon enough! Just trying to prepare and remember everything I might need. My husband is nervous for both of us. The hardest part will be not eating or drinking anything because my surgery isn't until 1:30 pm. So I'm gonna be real hungry and thirsty, What to do to occupy my time between now and then? Shop!! See you on the other side!!

Well I've made to the otherside!! Here's the break down.... My surgery was delayed until 3:30pm so it was a long day of waiting. But I was so ready by the time they took me back I wasn't nervous at all. Anxiety had turned into hurry up already and my impatience took over LOL!! But the nurses were very good in keeping me updated and the Dr. was very apologetic and stated He would never want to rush anyones surgery and I agree. If it was me I would want him to take his time. So I go into the surgical suite lay down on the table and the anesthesiologist gave me what he called " 2 shots of scotch" and told me to go somewhere really nice in my thoughts and It was shame they couldn't go with me and that's the last remember. He was a pretty funny dude which made it alot less nerve racking. Woke up in the recovery with what I would describe as tightness no pain though. They got me dressed gave me a muscle relaxer and I was on my way to the hotel. Now they gave me a card that has all the info about implants. So my boobs are registered I guess. Anyways I received Smooth round Moderate Classic Profile L side 360 cc and R side 385. Now this was kinda surprising to me cause we had discussed bigger. But He made it clear from the beginning he makes the final decision in the operating room. And I am so glad he does cause I couldn't imagine being any bigger than I am now. Just goes to show every implant fits different on everyone. I got back to the Hotel about 6:00 pm and slept most of the evening did get sick to my stomach around 1am but the funny thing is I think it was the Zofran which is an anti nausea medicine that made me sick. Cause I took it again about 4 hours later and again right backup so I won't be taking that. I haven't felt sick to my stomack anyways. Today has been great feel good just fatigued which is to be expected. Putting up photos will keep updating.
