5 Days Post Op
I'm not gonna lie the last few days have been ruff. I haven't felt much pain in my breasts (which is great) but my back, hips, and armpits are so swollen and hurt from the bruising. I have a good compression garment to help with swelling in my arms and upper back but I need to get a better one for my lower back and hips. Currently I'm wearing spanx and a waist trainer under the compression wrap Dr. Mele provided for extra support. I will ask about different garments when I see him tomorrow for my first post op.
Other then that I have taken all my antibiotics and pain meds and feel pretty good. I wasn't prepared for all the swelling and I hope I bounce back from that sooner than later. I'm getting married in August and don't wanna be super puffy ????. I never posted any photos so I will post some before and after shots.
I JUST WANT TO SAY I LOVE MY BOOBS! I cried when my fiancé took my garment off to helps shower and I saw them. Although they were bruised, stitched up, and swollen they were absolutely gorgeous! For the first time in my life my nipples line up perfectly on a horizontal line... Dr. Mele re-shaped my breasts beautifully and made both my over stretched areola's a lovely size. I know I have a lot of healing to do but having my boobs done was one of the best decisions I have made and I am so happy I chose Dr. Mele. I can't wait to to shop for new tops and bras... Hell I might just wear shirts without a bra for awhile and enjoy perky even nipples. ????
Provider Review
From the moment Dr. Mele walked into his waiting room to greet me for my consultation I was put at ease by his wonderful personality. I was rather surprised at how easy it was to talk to him. He was a great listener, and addressed all of my questions and concerns thoroughly. I never felt rushed as he let me take my time. By the end of my consultation we were sharing stories and some good humor. Dr. Mele is the 9th plastic surgeon I have met with and I am confident to have him work on me. He is professional, realistic, accredited, and experienced with difficult cases like mine. I booked my surgery appointment as soon as I got home. However a week or so after I started to panic a bit over my implant size (I had boob greed and wanted to go really large) and called his office. His staff catered to my concerns and told me they would leave a message for Dr. Mele since he was in surgery. I thanked them and had planned to send him an email. Within a couple hours I received a phone call from Dr. Mele and he was just so pleasant. He scheduled another appointment for me to come to his office so we could talk again face to face to make sure I was comfortable with proceeding. I met with him on June 1 and I am so excited to get my work done. I will post before photos soon. My pre op is on June 8th.
