I’m 37-years old, no kids and I’ve...

I’m 37-years old, no kids and I’ve contemplated having a BA for a very long time. Finally, this year I’ve decided on getting my BA. I asked several ladies that I know that had gotten their BA for referral. I had research 2 PS and after reading several reviews online I decided to contact Dr. Hardesty at Imagine Plastic Surgery in Riverside via email. The next day, Elizabeth called me and we scheduled my first consultation with Dr. Hardesty in June. Elizabeth was super friendly and nonjudgmental, she made me feel comfortable. Prior to my consultation, I didn’t know what to expect. All I know is that I wanted 350cc silicones. The day of my consultation, I was greeted with Dr. Hardesty’s friendly staff and I didn’t wait that long in the waiting room. I was ushered in the room and was assisted by a great attendance nurse. She gave me several samples to play with before Dr. Hardesty came to the room and explained in complete detail what he can do for me. Instantly I knew he was the right PS for me and directly after my appointment, I scheduled my BA for September 1. My pre-op was scheduled on Aug. 21 and he gave me a whole list of what I needed to get as far as meds, what to expected before/after surgery and gave me Arnica and Bromelain before I went home. I was instructed to start taking Bromelain couple of days prior to my surgery. We also decided on 375cc, instead of 350cc, because to get the full 350cc effect, especially if the silicone are going under the muscles, we’ll need to increase the cc. The day before my surgery on Sept. 1, I received a call from Ash, who was super friendly and walked me through what I should expect the following day. Ash was the attendant nurse at the Hospital where I had my surgery. September 1 came and all I remember on that day was the friendly staff and Dr. Hardesty prayed with me before the procedure. I woke up from surgery just fine, no nausea with only a little pain when I was asked to sit up. After surgery, the only discomfort I felt was from getting up from bed and the couch. I took my pain meds for two days only post -surgery and no bruising nor stretch mark. Ice pack also helped a lot post-surgery. Pain wasn’t at all bad, I just felt a lot of pressure on my chest, but manageable. I’m now 14-days post-surgery and completely no pain. The discomfort on my chest is slowly subsiding and I’m healing quite nicely. I can truly say I hate wearing the compression band, however, it’s helping the girls drop quickly. I’m super happy that I decided on Dr. Hardesty to do my BA procedure. I’m loving my new twins!
