Surgery was yesterday afternoon (12/17/12). I was surprised at how awake I was when I got home. The care at the surgery center was top notch. Dr. Pousti's team operated as a polite and professional, well-oiled machine. I always get really cold during and after surgery, and they had this nifty devise that blew how air into my gown and I woke up very comfortably. The aneisthesiologist was thorough and kind. IT IS A GOOD THING I went in for a revision as my right, twenty-year-old, silicone implant had EXPLODED! Apparently it was quite the war scene in there, but thankfully, it had been well-contained by my body's scar tissue. Dr. Pousti did a great job of cleaning it all up, but now I have a drain. I feel very fortunate that we found Dr. Pousti because of his vast expertise in all things breasts, and more importantly, breast augmentation revision. I can already see they look great! Much closer together and higher. I am pleased so far. I have posted a picture of the reality of surgery. We went OVER the muscle, and I am happy to find that I have no pain AT ALL this morning. I am supposed to keep my forearms close to my sides at all times as he did a capsulorrhaphy with the augmentation to keep the implants pointing more forward. I have a mountain peak for a sternum that points implants out to the side, so it took a little artistry to point them forward. Anyway, I am glad the surgery is over and now I can heal. I look forward to yoga in my distant future. Until that time I will follow doctor's orders and keep my elbows glued to my sides. I use tongs (or my husband) to reach most things.
I have decided I would like to turn out like the goal picture. Dr. Pousti is super nice and gives you as many appointments as necessary to ask all your questions.
