Since I lost almost 50lb had 3 kids including a set of twins, I decided to treat my girls to an update. Couldn't afford to do it close to home, way too much money. I did a lot of research, checked credentials and red every review I could find. So far, I think it's gonna turn out really nice. I'm only 11 days post op. I've been taking arnica and bromelin, as they recommend. I think it helps a lot .
From my first contact with office, everyone very polite and professional. I spoke with surgeon for my virtual consult and again later when I had more questions. I work in the medical field and I can tell you, a surgeon is not going to speak directly to a person that is not a patient. My husband and I were picked up From the airport, taken directly to the office. Again, everyone very nice, we had to wait awhile for him to finish with his first patient, but we were really tired anyway. The nurses did a great job with pre op, the doctor came in marked me up, after introductions, he is a super charming fellow! Turns out that my right breast was a whole cup bigger than my right. He said it should take a couple hours, ended up taking 4-5 hours, he took his time, and gave me what I asked for. He ended up doing a reduction, lift and augmentation on right, and a lift with augmentation on left. 310cc silicone extra round, keyhole incision. Stayed overnight in his facility, went to our conveniently located hotel, stayed two nights, went back for follow up. He removed my drains, changed my tape and off we went to catch our flight.

With your regular doctor, if you don't handle pain super well. They can't give you narcotics in pill form, only given while in the office. I think if I could of taken more time off, I could of made it. Wearing compression bra for 1 month, will be taping for as long as a year, depending on my scars.
16 days post op just changed the tape
