It has been over a month and I am completely healed and back to all of my regular activities! I am so happy with my new gals...they are really beautiful. It is so nice not having to wear a bra in a formal dress!

I chose Dr. K after finding his website through the American Board of Plastic surgery website. I looked at all of the doctors in the area and found one that is board certified. Then I did the research and looked at his photos. I like his aesthetic, he had people in his photos that actually looked like me...I knew this would be a good choice!

I had my 1 week post op. I am cleared to sleep on my side...they are looking very beautiful!
I had 2 really bad days...depression and sadness on day 8 and 9...passed by day 10. I am now out walking around the neighborhood and doing light exercise.
I think I am still really swollen...I weigh 10 pounds more than pre-op. Oh well...I will keep up with the clean diet and see what happens.
I didn't need many pain meds...it was mostly just passing pain that came and went. I will post most photos as soon as I can!

I am glad you are healing well and that your sadness and depression has passed!!! Your post op pictures look fantastic. I am curious though.....what would account for the extra 10 pounds....you did not have implants.
My Dr. said it was water retention...probably should not have gotten on the scale! I am going to wait awhile until I try that again!
Im glad you are still doing well!

I am 2 days post op and home and resting in my own bed. We stayed in Sacramento since my surgery so I could do my appointment after surgery. Got to see the new girls yesterday already! WOW, that is all I can say...I was speechless.
Not much in the pain department. I have taken my Lortab overnight, but during the day I just need the Valium the doctor gave me. I have been resting and letting hubby do most of the work. Sometimes I feel a pin prick or twinge, but it is gone in a second. Mostly I am tired today...going to get some more rest.


I am so very happy...hope my recovery keeps going this well!

You look great!! You must be so happy! I can't wait for mine! P.s. you having amazingly toned arms! :-)
I am really happy, each day gets easier and easier! Can't wait to start working out again!
I got the ok to do cardio, no bouncing so... walking, elliptical and I saddled up the girls in a heavy duty support sports bra. In addition, I was allowed to lift light weights BELOW the shoulders. Hang tight and don't rush things. It takes a good 5 to 6 weeks for those incisions to be fully healed.
Looking good Julie! Take care and congrats on your new girls.
My gals are just beautifull....can't believe they are mine!
