My surgery is scheduled for March 23! I have wanted this since I was 18. I had kids young, and now have the money to go ahead and get this done for myself. My doctor said I don't need a lift, during the consult, and when I tried on sizers I liked the way 450 looked. I have been collecting wish pics for years and years, and I'm really hoping I get my dream breasts. I am going back for a second consult this week, this time with my boyfriend, to confirm that this is the size and type of implant I want/ would need for the look I want.I'm really excited! Sometimes really nervous too. I get really nervous I could be ruining my natural breasts, which is honestly what some girls end up with AND LOVE. But I just feel flat. In a sports bra I am totally flattened, and without a bra I feel like there is nothing there. I want more upper pole and projection. Updated on 29 Feb 2020: I had one more consultation with my PS. My life partner came with me. I wanted to make sure I wasn’t making bad choices. He liked the way it all looked, and was supportive of the decisions. I feel reinforced for what I’m choosing. We are sticking with 450cc-ish of saline, under muscle. I liked the way the cleavage sat with that much, and going up just made projection feel over done. I don’t want to look like I will blow over if I have a wind at my back. Life is busy and it’s barreling ahead to surgery date. In someways I’m so excited, but I’m really dreading the recovery period. Wearing uncomfortable bras, never sleeping a wink again since I’m a side sleeper.. all that stuff. But I’m really excited to wear sundresses, bikinis, and sports bra. And not feeling flat, even though I have breast tissue. Updated on 12 Mar 2020: I’m 11 days to the surgery date, and this darned looming virus has me nervous that my surgery may get cancelled, or worse, I get the virus and can’t have surgery due to it! Regardless, took some before pics I wanted to add to my profile for comparison for after. Updated on 6 Jun 2020: I have been rescheduled for this Wednesday, June 10th! So excited, scared, happy, nervous. Modifying my body is a big deal to me, and I’m worried about screwing it up. There are women passionate about telling others about BII... but I figure I’ll just get them removed if I have issues. I’m willing to take the risk the have boobs I’m not always struggling to dress. While they are nicely sized, they aren’t full like I wish they were. I look fairly flat from the side if I’m not wearing a push up (which we all know if half padding, half boob. Great invention, but sure feels terrible to take off in front of an intimate partner.) I lost my job due to covid. But still have this money set aside. And I figured since I don’t have to ask for time off now I may as well getter done! Updated on 10 Jun 2020: I had my surgery today. I’m very swollen but the pain is managed. So far I have just takenTylenol and anti inflammatories. My family hasn’t left my side, and have been a huge help. I’ll take a tramacet before bed. My mouth is super dry, so I can’t eat. Kinda a pain. Hopefully tomorrow I can eat. I go back to the doctors in the morning to have a checkup. I’ll try to upload the photos from today. Updated on 11 Jun 2020: They are sore. I woke up a lot last night. But I slept through out the day yesterday so I feel ok anyways. I threw up quite often yesterday. The swelling is HUGE. I would describe them as frankenboobs. First check up today. The nurses said they look great though. They are so big though. Can’t wait for the swelling to subside. I’ll add the pictures from this morning. My IV site is bruised to high heavens. I will include a picture. My arm pits hurt the most right now. I’ll also include my set up of pillows to keep me upright. My traveling next pillow has been a godsend! Highly recommend! If you have any questions, fire away! Updated on 12 Jun 2020: Had my surgery today! I'm really swollen and pretty uncomfortable but my wonderful family has to left my side. My mouth is sore sore dry and it makes it so I can't eat because there is no lubrication to swallow. I'll try and upload my photos from the day though foryall Updated on 12 Jun 2020: I feel like I’ve been hit by a truck. Everything is tight and breathing in deep hurts the top part of my chest. They are riding very high right now from swelling. But I slept through the night in my sitting up position (love my neck pillow I bought for traveling so much right now, but one, you won’t regret it. I have a memory foam one with gel.) I’ll include a video. You can see the bottom is less swollen, has slightly more squish, whereas the top is swollen and stiff as can be. I’m allowed to take a bath, just not get my incisions wet, so I’m going to do that later when my family is up to assist me, and I am really looking forward to wiping the sweat off my body. I don’t think I can wash my hair yet, bending over would hurt too much. But my hair isn’t greasy yet. So thank heavens. Lol. I’ll update more if there is anything that comes up, otherwise I’ll just let you guys know how tomorrow is! Updated on 14 Jun 2020: The last 2 days have sucked. I’m so uncomfortable. I feel like my skin is way over stretched. The pain in pretty low and I’m only taking tramacet to help sleep at night, but I still wake up quite often anyways. I can feel the swelling increase the last hour before I’m due for anti inflammatories. That last hour is tough. I keep worrying that I should contact my doctor, until I take them and the swelling subsides again. The incisions hurt due to the bra resting across the incisions and I spend a lot of the day hold my bra up and off. Yesterday my sternum hurt really bad for a few hours too. All in all I think they look good. A little too big for my tastes but once the swelling goes down I think I will love them. I’ll try and take pics later. Updated on 15 Jun 2020: Let’s try this again. This app is very unstable and will just delete your updates while your writing them. I’m just waking up day 5 post op. The pain is minimal, just the bra laying on the incisions is the most real pain. I’m super uncomfortable though from the swelling. I can feel it pushing and about an hour before my next anti inflammatory is due is torturous. The swelling goes right up, the bra digs in EVERYWHERE, and my left breast starts to want to shake hands with my chin. When the swelling isn’t maxed I have a good width between my breasts. But once it’s coming to time to take the next pills it’s like I’m wearing a push-up. My right breast was bigger then my left before surgery so the doc put 420 ccs in it, and it’s the better behaved breast right now. The other is angry about 455 ccs. Lol. Today I’m going to wash this bra and wear a different one I bought. I just got it from Walmart. No underwire of course but it’s made from the same stuff no seam underwear is made from and the part that goes under the bust is longer and it does just last across the stitching. So I’m looking forward to a few hours of change. That bra is less upholding though. The surgery holds these crazy girls in much better. Pluses and minuses. This will be the second time I wash this bra. I have night sweats from the tramacet. So I wake up feeling gross. I have a mini bath every day. I just sit in a small amount of water and use a wash cloth to wash up, like I used to do for my babies, when they were babies. I use very mild soaps for myself normally. I don’t believe it’s good to strip your microbiome off your skin. I didn’t take any pics yesterday of the girls. The swelling made it a crappy day. Super uncomfortable. But just trying to use my arms as little as possible is best. It lets the tata girls chillax the way they deserve after such an uproar of a week lol. I will upload pics when I change/wash this bra. Updated on 15 Jun 2020: I have googly eyes breasts! Lol. The one with more fill (455 vs 420) is riding high and mighty. The one is sitting in a happy position. Anywho here is the pic updates for the day, including the bra I will wear for a couple hours while I wash the surgical bra. Updated on 22 Jun 2020: Doc said I can start massages to try and push the high riser into the pocket deeper. I’ve taken the tape off and started using tamanu oil. The last few days I have been better. But to describe pains... it felt like I had been filleted off my bones, just like I was. I could feel my breast tissue was soft, but the muscle is tight across the implant. It gets better day by day, but I need to work my higher breast down with massages. They are nice. You’re basically trying to “milk” the implant down. I am still taking arnica orally. The doc was wowed when he seen how well they are doing. I think the arnica is the big reason for that. He thought I was doing 2 weeks. When I told him he had only done it a week ago (I seen him on Wednesday) he was floored. I have been taking arnica orally and using the gel as well on my upper breasts and on the sides and under. There was a lot of pain and swelling under my breasts, alone my rib cage. If you have ever broken a rib, I felt like that for a few days too. Hard to breath in or out. Turn. Push myself up from sitting or laying down. I went for a light trail ride on a horse yesterday in Banff. That was very easy. No pain or discomfort. I’m still being easy on myself. Pushing and pulling can be tender. So things like taking the yard or turning my garden and weeding are still a no. I will include some photos of how the scars look. Updated on 28 Jun 2020: My scars are doing amazing. I’ve been using tamanu oil and silicone scar tape. The inner stitches still hurt. As do my muscles across my ribs, and my sternum. I can’t hoist myself up onto the cupboards (short girl problems) or really work in my yard or garden. I can pull weeds, and do very small sections of dirt. But not much. I need to sleep in a bra, I like them held in pace or my ribs (muscles?) hurt like crazy after a few hours. I had my first bath the other night since surgery. Felt sooooo nice to soak in the Epsom salts. Updated on 28 Jun 2020: The left still rides high. Anyone know what to do? Massages don’t seem to be helping?
Amazing is all I can say Dr. Wolfli is caring, understanding, really knows what he is talking about and makes you feel comfortable, you are not affraid to ask him anything. Dr. Wolfli and his staff are non judgmental so you don't feel like anyone is judging you. I had my eyelids done with no scars, no pain his work is impeccable. I have been to other places and all I can say is he is as good as they say. His staff is very welcoming, and understanding.
I am a 51 yr old mom of 7. In the last few years I quit smoking, began "clean eating"started running 5-10 k every other day. Joined boot camp 3X a week began yoga so I'm a 7 day a week work out girl. I've have lost approx. 30+ pounds. I am in the best shape of my life! But still everytime I see a pic of myself or look in a store mirror that has glories can't lighting I am reminded of my ugly under eye bags. I know it may sound frivolous but it screams ugly too me. People have commented "oooo you look tired!" Or "are you sick?" That in my head translates to you look like crap. My hope is the surgeon can eliminate the bags! Updated on 7 Mar 2013: "glories can't" should be "fluorescent" in my first entry. Updated on 7 Mar 2013: "glories can't" should be "fluorescent " Updated on 8 Mar 2013: I have waves if anxiety. Long runs outside in the cold helps relieve the stress. Most scared about anesthetic. I'm afraid I won't wake up. Updated on 15 Mar 2013: Surgery this Monday, March 18. I am so scared. I feel like I've done my research I have an ocuplastic ps. What scares me most is the being completely sedated. Some of these stories scare me. Pray for me Monday! Updated on 17 Mar 2013: Tomorrow is the surgery. Please pray for accuracy & success. Updated on 20 Mar 2013: post op day 2 miserable. Updated on 21 Mar 2013: day4. I have a bit of a hemmorage in the eye( lining?) on my right side. treating it with steroid drops and lac lube. Hoping to get upper stitches out soon. Every day is a little better. Updated on 22 Mar 2013: Today my eyes are just tight and itchy. It's slow going. But I did anticipate this. :s Updated on 27 Mar 2013: It's day 9 postoperative. Still have bruising. Tried to wear liquid foundation ( HD from Sephora )and it covers the discoloration quite well- but I have to say I would rather be makeup free right now. My eyes need to be more healed. I ran 3 k for the first time since surgery yesterday and today outside on soft snow road. No difference or damage that I can see. Updated on 29 Mar 2013: Today I woke up with really wonky swelling under my left eye. So i Iced. It's better. Had a breakfast date and that eye would not stop watering. It figures!It's calmed down now. ;) Updated on 3 Apr 2013: day 7 went to my family doctor (on the advice of my PC) to get the nurse to remove a wee stitch they missed. Day 16 today and found another tiny blue stitch tonight. Took it out cleanly and carefully Myself tonight. Its fine- but i wonder if this is normal. will bring this up to PC next week. Updated on 3 Apr 2013: I meant P. S. Not pc 0.o Updated on 7 Apr 2013: Every day is a wee bit better than the day before. Although I slept funny and left under eye had strange swelling like a marble size puff where my eye bags used to be . Ice packs for 30 minutes -Gone! Updated on 23 Apr 2013: 5 weeks post op here. I am happy with my surgery. I do still have raised bumps on the outside bottom corners of my eyes. I know I need more time and any weird glitch can be fixed. At times I get tremors under right eye. I am still happy I got this done- especially when I look back at my before pic. Updated on 6 Nov 2013: Barely think about it anymore. I'm going in for a wee adjustment on ins side. Other than that this was so totally worth it! Be brave! Updated on 18 Feb 2014: It's coming up to the one year mark! I don't regret having upper and lower bleph done. Best decision ever. I do have to go back for a wee bit of tweaking. Dr is not completely happy with the little bulge/ mark under my left eye. I couldn't care less- the wretched bags are gone. I'm happy!
