can't believe it's been over two years since i've had my girls done. they still look great, but the only downfall is that sometimes i experience slight pain in my right breast where i had the incision done (inframammary).. other than that, i've been very pleased with how they've healed and how they look. :) Updated on 4 Aug 2020: Wow— is it just me, or has time just flown by?! I can’t believe it’s been over 3 years since I’ve had my BA!! I’ve been so happy with the results— but lately i’ve been thinking of having them redone.. not because i’m not happy, but because I want to get them switched to over the muscle. I used to workout NONSTOP, and other the last few years, i’ve kind of stayed away from the gym. Only because i’m freaked out of rupturing the incision pocket and the internal lift bra that i had put in as well. I also feel like I would have more comfort overall with it being switched to over the muscle instead. Am i being crazy??? What do you ladies think?? i’ve attached some updated pics, along with some before! xD

Valentine's day is the big day. I am scheduled to have a tummy tuck hip to hip, along with breast augmentaion and lift. I will keep you posted on how it goes. Any info before hand from fellow mommies would be appreciated! I am do nervous about the first few days and hope I have enough help. I'm wondering if I will be able to use the bathroom alone! Lol Updated on 10 Feb 2017: Wanted to post some before pics. Count down to the big day! So scared, so excited. I will keep updating ???? Updated on 13 Feb 2017: Surgery is in the morning, I am as prepared as I think one can be. Of course having some anxiety and yet so excited! When I got home from buying my Milk of magnesia tonight a cat ran across my driveway.. it looked black, hope it was more of a grey!. I'll post tomorrow when. Feeling up to it. ???? Updated on 14 Feb 2017: Well surgery went great..painful, but so far not unbearable..wausing for pain meds which I can take in 20 min Only one drain. Yay! Updated on 14 Feb 2017: Here's a pic ? Updated on 15 Feb 2017: Went to the doctor this morning. Everything looks great and I'm feeling ok. Actually heading to see 50 Shades Darker at 11. Our theatre has recliners that will be quite comfortable.. loving the look already ???? Updated on 15 Feb 2017: Drain is coming out monday, which will put me at the 6 day mark. I've been at 60 cc so far, surgery was yesterday morning. Hope to get stitches out Monday or Tuesday next week as well. Using the bathroom has been ok, but still no BM. I'm going to start milk of magnesia after the movie, and plan to use tylenol pm tonight instead of the oxy. I will continue to take 1 oxycodone every 4 hours today to stay ahead of the pain and then going to try tylenol tomorrow!. Dr also gave me the ok to walk outside this weekend.. highs in mid 50s and sunny which is incredible for this time of year in Wisconsin. I will keep updating as I progress. Thanks everyone! Updated on 15 Feb 2017: Just a couple more before pics... Updated on 16 Feb 2017: I feel really good! So worth it. I took oxycodone every 4 hours until 10pm last night and switched to 1 extra strength tylenol every 4 hours now. I feel better with just the tylenol. Standing just about upright and was able to have a BM today with the help of a little milk of magnesia which I took yesterday along with lots of water, fruit and vegetables. The hardest is getting in and out of bed, but otherwise walking around feels ok too. Just stiff the first minute or so. I definitely would do again. Already very pleased with my decision! Hope this helps all you mommies thinking of doing this.. my cc's are low already and the nurse said call her in the morning and just maybe I'll get my drain out before the weekend. Otherwise Monday morning at 745 it comes out, so not too bad... Updated on 17 Feb 2017: So I'm only expelling about 30 cc every 24 hours but they want to keep my drain in unail Monday due to the fact I'll probably be too active. They're probably right! Our for cast this weekend is unseasonably high. So I took off some guaze, sponge bathed a few areas, well the ones that I can, which was pretty limited.. I feel great tho. There is just mild swelling and everything looks to be settling really well???????? Updated on 18 Feb 2017: Do not laugh, cough or sneeze! Ouch!! Other than that recovery is going well. Down to 1 extra strength tylenol every 5 hours or so. Made tacos, went to the grocery store and went for a walk. Only a few blocks but none the less. I did have my 13 year old with helping for groceries and tacos, I would not suggest any high reaching or heavy lifting. Updated on 19 Feb 2017: Feeling better and better every day. I am so excited to get my drain out tomorrow. Hoping they'll take my stitches out too. They might not yet though. Went for a walk this morning, felt pretty good. Chest is a little tight, a little harder to breathe, pretty sure it is from my binders. Looked at the girls this morning, they are settling very nicely. Not too much bruising. A little swollen. Updated on 19 Feb 2017: Just a few more before photos Updated on 20 Feb 2017: Got my drain out today and was able to shower. Felt great! Everything takes a little more effort. My 2 year old comes home from his dad's today and I'm excited and a little nervous about seeing him.. everything seems to be healing really well and my stitches come out Thursday ???? Updated on 20 Feb 2017: Updated on 21 Feb 2017: Feeling the best I've felt so far, my incisions are sore and I'm overly paranoid that I'm going to end up with a wound infection.. it will be just something else I obsess about until I see the Dr. Thursday for stitch removal. A lot less swollen today tho which is fantastic! Updated on 25 Feb 2017: It's, been a few days since I've posted. I had my stitches out which was not my favorite part. There is a small opening, which I'm absolutely freaked out about, so the nurse sent me with steri-strips which I put on yestday. She said if it made me feel better I could use them. Now I'm wondering how long I should keep them on. I will call Monday and ask. I'm posting some scar pics, I don't seem to be able to find any that look healthy, only really bad ones, the ones I'm terrified mine will turn into... Updated on 25 Feb 2017: Not sure why thru didn't post Updated on 1 Mar 2017: Went back to work yesterday, wasn't too bad. Working shortened hours. I'm a hairstylist and it's a lot of bending and moving. Took off steri-strips, wound looks pretty good, still terrified it will open. I may another question on it today. Really starting to love my breasts. Tried on a few suits today and so far am happy with results. Kind of wonder if maybe he shouldn't have taken a little more skin, but all and all I think it matches my body very well. Updated on 13 Mar 2017: I've been healing well, my swelling in belly is going down and my boobs are settling nicely. I'm back to the gym walking about 2.5 miles a day. My scars looks great and I have started scar therapy. I have been wearing compression garments more and my binder less.. feeling really good! Can't wait to get back to my full work out routine and running! Updated on 13 Mar 2017: Updated on 16 Mar 2017: Here is my TT scar, 1 month. Looking and feeling great! Updated on 19 Mar 2017: I am 2 days shy of 5 weeks post op, and went on my first run since surgery today. 2.6 miles at 11:06 per mile. Pretty slow, but pretty amazing. The wireless front zip, knockout by Victoria Secret was wonderful for this! Updated on 11 Apr 2017: While I do have some loose skin left above my belly button, and my Dr should have probably created a new belly button and removed more skin instead of doing a floating belly button, I am still very pleased with my results. The little bit of laxed skin is a reminder of the amazing weight loss journey I have been on, and quite frankly matches the rest of my body. As far as how I'm feeling, I'm feeling pretty good. I still wear a compression garment most of the time, mainly because I hate the numbness. I'm hoping that will go away soon. One of my breast may need to be lowered because the implant is sitting high per my ps. It seems to be lowering on its own though (he said hopefully is would) so I am hopeful that I don't need a revision. As far as exercise, I'm back to mostly everything, minus chest work. I'm back running about 15-20 miles a week. While I'm not as fast as I was before, I have ran a few 5 mile stints. I'm a month or so away from next check up. I'll keep you posted , also I will take and post some pics later today or tomorrow ???? Updated on 11 Apr 2017: Updated on 23 May 2017: Healing nicely, everything is settling quite well. Sensation in my nipples seems to be back for the most part and my tummy is getting most of the feeling back. Scars are healing nicely as well. My implants are feeling really soft and squishy, each day they feel more and more like me. Updated on 27 Jun 2017: So happy with my decision! I have been on a roller coaster with this surgery, and am now to the point where I am 100% happy that I did this. Everything has settled nicely, I love my boobs! They are so squishy, and pretty.. pretty sure the boyfriend loves them too. My tummy is still a little numb, but the feeling is slowly starting to come back.. for the most part this does not bother me, unless I have an itch or something. I'm 100% back to workouts, minus the exception of push-ups, which i do, but only on my knees. Dr. Said he would rather I not do pushups so I do modified, I figure that's a happy medium to "rather not". Well I hope my journey will help you to make a decision/or get through your journey! I'll try to post at the 1 year mark, and so on. Best wishes! Updated on 17 Aug 2017: Everything has healed perfectly and I am so happy with result. The boobs feel very natural and have healed nice and even. Tummy looks and feels good too. Most of the feeling is back. Scars are fading quickly and I am back to just about 100% of my work out routine, with modifying push ups and using light weight for chest work. Updated on 7 Feb 2018: It's been just about a year.. My implants have settled nicely, and for the most part feel like a part if me. I still massage them daily for a minute. I am back to full work out routine, I do however only lift light for chest and do push ups primarily on knees. My scars have healed pretty well. Part of my tummy is still pretty angry looking and one breast is a little red and itches from time to time which I assume means it is still healing. My nipple sensation as far as I remember came back 100%, but I still cannot completely feel my stomach, primarily my belly button. It feels like it's sleeping, you know that tingly feeling when your hand falls asleep, same thing on my belly. I still have a little loose skin above my belly, but it flows well with my body. I could stand to lose 5-10 pounds, and I'm sure that will tighten some when I do. My current height is 5'7" 155 pounds. I was the same when I went into surgery. I'm so happy I did this, literally changed my life. I had 1000 questions when I was going into and for months after surgery, and I stalked this site. Don't worry, eventually you'll stop looking, especially when everything works out. I posted some pics. Feel free to ask me anything. I may post in another year or so, or if any problems arise I'll post, otherwise no news is good news. Good luck, and take care! Updated on 7 Feb 2018: Updated on 17 Feb 2019: I am 2 years since surgery. My scars have pretty much healed. My boobs feel good I move them around a bit.. my stomach mainly feels ok. Still a bit numb at times but doesn't bug me too much. My nipple sensation came back completely and I work out regularly. I do hold off a bit on chest work using light weight and push ups on my knee. Here's a few current pics. Updated on 14 Feb 2020: Love my boobs and my body. I still have some skin but I love me. I do worry about my boobs quite a bit but still love them to pieces! A little scar but not too bad. I do exercise quite a bit but go light on weight for chest and push ups on knees. Hope this update helps! Updated on 19 Feb 2022: 5 years everything is good. Tummy is not numb but feeling never fully returned. Doesn't bother me tho. Breasts are good, but I do worry about them popping or slipping. I workout often but go light on chest and push ups ok knees per Dr recommendation. I had a mini TT and umbilical float, but kind of wish he would have done a full because the skin is still a little loose but all and all am so happy. Take care of you, you deserve this! Find a great Dr.

I am a 32 yr old married mother of an 10 yr old. I never remember having a flat stomach...EVER. I am 5'2 about 175lbs. My son was not a small baby coming in at just under 10 lbs & 22", which is a third of my height. I have an ultrasound pic with his foot by his eye, he was completely bent in half! Needless to say the pregnancy did a number on my already not flat tummy. I run 3 or 4 times a week and watch what I eat but just can't seem to take any weight off. My husband lost close to 50lbs in the last year and I feel like a disgusting slob next to him! I have an amazing husband who loves me just the way I am but I hate my stomach! He is constantly telling me I am beautiful but it doesn't make me feel any better about myself! Since he lost weight my flabby stomach has really become a problem for ME. It is constantly bothering me! I don't shop because its depressing and I avoid cameras like the plague! My son loves to swim but I refuse to go with him because it would require me to wear a bathing suit! I'm done with feeling ashamed and hiding! Enough of my life has passed by while I "hide" on the sidelines! I have done lots of research and have scheduled a consultation with two PS in Madison for next week! Hoping to schedule surgery for sometime in September! Fingers crossed that I am a good candidate! I am starting this journey for ME and with the support of my husband I am hoping to make it to the flat side! Updated on 29 Jul 2013: Did my first consult with Dr. Bartell today. He seems nice as does his office staff. Had lots of before & after photos and explained the process and procedure to my satisfaction. I am not one to ask lots of questions as I do alot of research before so I go in armed with lots of information. Gave me cost of $8300 for the surgery which includes everything pre/post op. Would need full TT with lipo of upper abs, flanks & hips. Only negative was that the appointment went very fast and seemed rushed, was really only with the doc for about 10 minutes but I didn't have any questions. I have another consult scheduled for Thursday with a different Madison area doctor so I will see what he asks/does during the consult before I make any decisions. Updated on 1 Aug 2013: Felt much more comfortable with the second doctor. Dr. Hamacher and staff were very informative and friendly! He gave me lots of information and then took me to see Terry his surgery coordinator. She was great! Lots of info given with a smile! This actually felt like a doctor appointment rather than the meeting I had with the previous doctor. I didn't feel rushed and the doctor was NOT in a hurry! He happily sat and talked about the surgery & recovery for much longer than the first consult! This was a no brainer! I've already put the request in to take off of work and have a date that he is available in early September. Once my time off request is approved I will be putting down my deposit and will start operation lose as much weight as possibly (in a healthy way) prior to surgery! Another thing I like about this doc was that he was honest, said the more weight I lose the better my results will be but that either way I may still have to come back for a little lipo in a few months just because he doesn't want to damage the blood supply and do too much lipo during the initial surgery. I'd rather know that going in than be told I will be in a two piece bathing suit shortly after surgery (which the first doctor told me multiple times) and be disappointed. Super excited to be one step closer to the flat side!!! Updated on 2 Aug 2013: Time off request has been approved!!! Scheduled my surgery for Sept 6th and paid my deposit! Its Official, I will be crossing over to the flat side. Now the waiting begins... Updated on 19 Aug 2013: Only 17 more days until surgery! I am super excited to get rid of this belly and finally be able to take my clothes off and not feel like I have to hide from my husband! I think he is excited but very nervous since he can't stand seeing me in pain. I think we will both be happy when its all behind us! I do have my days though that I second guess my choice to do this! I feel guilty about spending the money and can't believe I am actually going to do this! Never in a million years did I think I was someone who would have plastic surgery! Most days I am very excited but the negative days seems to be coming more often as the surgery gets closer! My husband is the only person who knows I am going to have surgery and he is extremely supportive. My family is VERY opinionated (which is a lot of the reason for my self esteem issues) and I just don't want to hear what they have to say! Working through the bad days and trying to remember that I am doing this for me and only me...and that it is OK to do something just for myself! Updated on 29 Aug 2013: Just about one week left before surgery! Can't believe its almost time!! Four more days of work plus a four day weekend and then my day will have arrived! A little nervous but not anywhere as nervous as my hubby. Been crazy with work and getting the family ready for school to start next week. Have some basic supplies and am hoping to pick up everything else I will need over the weekend. Just want the next week to fly by so I can begin my recovery and so my mind can stop coming up with horrible things that could go wrong during surgery. Updated on 6 Sep 2013: Had my surgery about 14 hours ago and I feel amazingly well! Not anywhere near as much pain as I was expecting. Arrived at the clinic this morning and went through all the usually stuff. Had an IV put in my hand and the doc marked up my belly with the infamous purple marker plus took the dreaded pre op photos! They did put antibiotics in my IV I guess for a jump start. :o) The nurses measured me for compression socks that go almost all the way up my thigh. Not comfy at first but I love them now! Once in the operating room I was out in less than 5 minutes and don't remember a thing until I woke up in recovery. Recovery room was slightly different than anything I had seen before. About 5 recliners lined the outside of the room and had curtains that gave privacy. Once it was time to go they put in a wheelchair, we picked up my husband in the waiting area and headed for the car. I started getting nauseous once we were moving in the wheelchair. They pulled over and gave me one ondansetron and feeling vanished almost immediately. When we got to my car and they started to help me up I passed out! Turned into a ragdoll and went down for the count. Thank God the nurse was behind me with her arms under mine. Again no memory until another nurse arrived with smelling salts, which are horribly smelling but had me awake in no time! I was laying in my husbands lap in the parking lot! Great for the confidence! Nurses said that was a first for them! Once home my wonderful hubby drove right onto the yard and literally parked at the front door so I wouldn't have to walk far. When it was time to take my first walk and bathroom break I again passed out! This time my husband caught me. Decided to take the pain pills after walking & going to the bathroom to see if that helped. I also think I was slightly dehydrated but I have gone walking every two hours since then and have not had any issues. Other than passing out this day has been way easier than expected. There is a constant ache in my belly region which is similar to what you feel after doing a hard ab workout. Not bad at all, maybe about a 3 or 4 at its worst. When I get to walk is when I feel the incision and that hurts much more but still only a 6 at its worst. There is a little leaking around the lipo sights but I only have one drain instead of two. Thank God! Tried to add a photo but it won't work so will try again tomorrow. Thus far this is so totally worth it and I have not even seen myself yet with out all the padding, gauze and binder. Go back to the doc for my first post op appointment tomorrow morning and will get to see my new belly then! Can't wait! :o) Will try to get photos and post tomorrow! Writing this has sucked all of my energy so I'm going to take a nap! Updated on 8 Sep 2013: Updated on 8 Sep 2013: Sore today but slowly moving around a little better. Horrible caffeine headache has been my biggest problem today. Finally gave in and had some coffee. All in all feeling really good and new tummy looks pretty good! Updated on 10 Sep 2013: Had another post op appointment this morning. What an exhausting experience!! Took forever to get there because of traffic! Bad news is they said I have to keep my drain in until Thursday! :o( I hate that thing and I really wanted to take a shower today!! The numbers were low enough but what was coming out was still too dark in color so they want me to wait until Thursday. Nurse said sorry but its better than taking it too early and having to come in everyday to have fluid drained with a needle. I wasn't happy but agreed with that statement! Good news is I finally went to the bathroom this morning. Never thought I would be so excited to do that! Feeling much better without the cramping! Overall I feel pretty great! Getting around better but everything makes me tired. Just getting up to brush my teeth make me want to sleep. Have not taken a prescribed pain pill since Sunday (had surgery on Friday) I think it was Sunday anyway. The pain really is very minimal! Pain from the lipo is by far the worst. Don't really notice the incision except where the drain is coming out. I do look like I got hit by a truck though, the bruising is really bad!! Still don't have much of an appetite. Usually being reminded to eat by my husband because I'm just no that hungry. Try to get down two protein shakes a day and eat a spinach salad and some toast throughout the day. I have not been on a scale but my face looks like I may have lost some weight but I'm just not hungry. I'm sure my appetite will come back full force soon so I'm not worried about it. Sending well wishes to those recovering and good luck to those yet to cross over to flat side. Updated on 12 Sep 2013: Had my drains removed...not fun! Feel much better without the drain and I get to take a shower! Pretty tired from the doctor visit since everything is still exhausting so I'm going to wait until this afternoon to attempt the shower. Plus I'm alone and don't think its a great idea to be alone for the first shower! Feel pretty good overall, moving around a little better but still pretty slow. Think the results are amazing and its not even been a full week. Thank you Dr Hamacher! You are an amazing surgeon! Updated on 17 Sep 2013: I went back to work a few days ago and its going pretty good. I have a desk job and can avoid much walking and all lifting when necessary. I'm not as tired as I thought I would be and I feel like the moving around is actually helping with the recovery. When I was home last week I was being really careful and having my family do everything for me. Going back to work has forced me to get up and bend/walk and just move in general more often and seems to be helping the skin and muscles to relax and not feel painfully tight. I'm not by any means pushing it or back to normal but I fell like I have made some major jumps in the recovery since going back to work. Standing straighter and feeling stronger every day! Going to get my stitches out in two days and the bruising has gone down considerable. Swelling is bad at the end of the day but it's all totally worth it! Added a few new pics! Updated on 6 Oct 2013: I feel great and have never had second thoughts about the surgery. Totally worth it!! My stomach muscles are still a bit tender and I need to use my arms more than my abs to sit up same as after my c section. Also not doing much lifting or exercise except walking. Other than that I am totally back to my normal life.

My surgery is one week away. I can't wait, but I'm nervous. I figured I would share my story to help ease my nerves. I am a housewife and mother of 3 girls, 11,9 and 6. I breastfed them all for about 2 years. I have always expressed my desire for wanting a breast augmentation after I was done nursing and having children. We decided last year that we were done having children. I was a full DD when nursing, sometimes a DDD. Before I got pregnant I was a B. I have wanted to get a Breast augmentation since I was a teenager. I was always smaller and wanted to be bigger. I would joke that nursing allowed me to try on different sizes so I would know what I want when the time came. Well now the time has come. I have surgery next Wednesday, the 17th. I look forward to getting them filled back up. I'm apprehensive about what to tell my girls and when to tell them. I'm not saying anything yet. Hopefully I will know what to say when the time comes. I have arranged a sleepover for the initial weekend that I'm recovering. My husband has arranged his schedule so he can take them to school and pick them up and be home with them in the afternoon. I feel like I'm nesting. I cleaned and organized my kitchen, laundry room, bathroom, etc. I'm in the process of making foods so they can just heat them up while I'm down. I'm looking forward to being nice and full. I can't believe that the time has finally come. Updated on 22 Apr 2013: So it's been 5 days post op. I underestimated the initial recovery. I am so happy with the final result. I ended up with 380 cc in one side and 420 cc in the other. I recognize myself now in the mirror. I can't express how excited I am that I followed through with this decision! I will post pictures this evening. Updated on 25 Apr 2013: So this is day 5. I am had the stitches removed yesterday. I put together some oil, to help with the scars. I'm very pleased with the results! I will take better pictures this afternoon and post those. Updated on 25 Apr 2013: This is the picture for day 5. Sorry I forgot to add it to my last post. Updated on 25 Apr 2013: How do I add an updated photo? When I click on add photo, it posts my update and doesn't give me an option to add a picture. Updated on 26 Apr 2013: I'm so pleased with my results! Updated on 26 Apr 2013: My stitches were removed Wednesday. They are settling in nicely. ;) Updated on 22 Apr 2014: A year has flown by. I'm still very happy with my decision. They look fantastic. I have wonderfully full natural looking breasts. I am looking forward to buying some fun summer clothes to show off my figure. I am a 34D/32DD. The scars are almost non existent anymore. Thank you for all your support. I was so appreciative of being able to have an outlet where ladies understand exactly what I was feeling and the big decision that I was making. I will update with photos later today.

I went to this doctor because i wanted my jowls lifted. He ended up doing 4 revisions each worse than the last. I have been left with huge fat loss in my face. See pictures. I once had a nice full face and now it looks like i am deathly ill every day. Terry in his office who does his sales encouraged me to write to him asking for some kind of compensation. I did and he did not even bother to respond.

I'm 50 years old and have recently lost 22 pounds. I do believe half of the weight has come off my breasts. I was wearing a 36 D and now wear a 34 B. My concern was having to get a lift because they seemed so deflated but after meeting with Dr Hamacher, he assured me a lift was not necessary. My surgery date is December 2. I have decided to go with Natrelle saline implants and am going through areola. The surgical coordinator told me that the PS uses very small stitches that I would not see any scars. I have yet to decide on size however I would like them to be round and full with a two finger gap in between. I have total trust in my PS to help me decide. He has been doing BAs for over 40 years. He told me to bring in my "want" pics as well as my "don't want" pics. I am so glad I came across this site. My husband teases me about "boob shopping" as I have been making quite the portfolio. I have had feelings since making my down payment. From anxiety, excitement, nervousness, and anticipation, I'm not quite sure which emotion describes my feelings best. I have just started Christmas shopping as I'm not sure how I'll feel after surgery. 5 weeks will be here before I know it. Here is a couple of pictures of my "want" boobs as well as my sad droopy girls. Updated on 24 Nov 2015: One week from tomorrow and I'm freaking out. My stomach has been in knots for the last two weeks. I have yet to tell my employer that I will be taking medical leave because I'm not quite sure what to tell them. The only one that knows is my husband and he can't wait for the "new girls". Anyone else have anxiety about the waiting game? Also, does anyone have any suggestions as to what I would tell my employer? Updated on 1 Dec 2015: I don't think I'm going to be able to sleep tonight. Got my bag packed and photos ready for my 8:30 appt. Still can't decide on high or mid profile. I think I've looked at 1000's of photos. Think I'm just gonna leave it up to dr. Tomorrow I'll be posting pics of the new arrivals. Updated on 2 Dec 2015: Well I had my ba this morning. I checked in @ 8:30 and got prepped for surgery. My dr came in and took me to another room to go over questions and concerns. I told him I wanted them round and a two finger gap for cleavage. I game him 4 pics that I liked. He took my before pics and then marked my breasts. He decided to go w/under the breast fold for the incision due to having a lot of current breast tissue. I then met w/the anesthesiaologist. Awesome woman who explained everything. All my nurses were great. Once I was on my heated table, I don't remover anything. I woke up in a heated reclining chair. The pain in my arm pits was excruciating. Left the clinic at noon. We are staying in hotel because my post op is at 6:45 am. Dr went with Natrelle 68. I had 380cc in the right and 340cc in the left Tomorrow I get to see them and can't wait. Feeling pretty good and have only taken 2 pain pills all day. To the woman who posted bringing an airplane neck collar pillow, CUDOS!!!! I was prepared thanks to RS. Updated on 3 Dec 2015: Didn't sleep well last night. I've been a stomach sleeper my entire life so sleeping on my back was very difficult. Only slight pain n twinges on the left side. Met with my dr first thing this morning. Got fitted in my bra and received all my info til my next weeks office call. My only real complaint is extreme bloating. I feel like I gained 20 lbs overnight. Ugh! Updated on 3 Dec 2015: Received two post op bras from dr today. Can't wait to go bra shopping after wearing these. Updated on 4 Dec 2015: Had my ba two days ago. Swelling has gone down considerably. Just a little sore on the left side. Woke up in the night with burning, shooting pain in the left breast. I think it might have been because I didn't take any pain meds before bed. Took a shower and put on makeup this morning. That can boost anyone's feelings. Taking it easy though today. Gonna let my husband do some laundry and make meals yet another day. Love the pampering I'm getting. He took a look at them without my bra on and thought they looked huge. I'm thinking maybe I didn't go big enough. I'm still happy though because they definitely look better than they did. Can't wait to see what they look like in a swimsuit. Vacation is 2 months from today. Updated on 16 Dec 2015: I feel really good compared to last week when I had terrible bloating and not being able to have a bm for 7 days. My only concern right now is after my appt yesterday, my right breast implant feels like it's moving all over the place. I feel it when I put a sports bra on. The left feels perfectly normal. The dr told me my left breast is still swollen. Are you suppose to be able to feel them move around when you bend over or lay down? I'm just wondering if something might be wrong.

I had basal cell CA lower eye lid, so now in addition to my personal skin monitoring, I have a full body screening every 6 months. I see a NP in dermatology for this. She identified a small "normal" mole high on the back of one thigh. I asked about having it removed since I didn't think I could adequately monitor it given the location. Was told there was no reason to removed it and I should just use a mirror. I tried using a mirror as directed but found that given the distance and location I can't see the mole well enough to notice possible changes. I've decided to go to a plastic surgeon to have the mole removed. The procedure is pending. It's elective so insurance will only cover the pathology test on the tissue that's removed. Updated on 29 Aug 2014: The mole was successfully removed in a few minutes. The plastic surgeon decided it didn't need to go to pathology since it clearly appeared to be a normal nevus. I was comfortable with this decision since my dermatology NP also said it looked normal. Now that it's gone, I don't need to even think about it, let alone worry. I go back in a week to have a couple of stitches removed. The plastic surgeon also cauterized several cherry hemangiomas at my request. He used what he called an "electric needle". This hurt but was over quickly and they're healing now. I'm was happy to get this done too, even though I know they're harmless. I think of it as, "cleaning up my canvas" - removing some of the many spots that clutter my aging skin, so I can more easily notice any significant changes that may develop in the future.
