Dr Ford is talented, kind, and humble. She is extremely relatable and empathetic. During my consultation, she took the time to listen to all of my concerns and answered my questions completely. She was able to advise me of an appropriate size for my body type (5'6" 115 lbs previously 32A.) I went in thinking I wanted 400 cc saline unders, but after discussing this with Dr Ford, I changed to a smaller size silicone unders. I was asymmetrical prior to the surgery, which she corrected by using 2 different size implants (300 & 325.) I am so glad she used her expertise to persuade me to go with the different size/type. I am now a 32DD. (That does sound huge, but has made my shape a good hourglass (measurements are now 36/25/36.) I had my surgery on a Thursday in the afternoon. Dr Ford called my husband that night to check on me and I had an appointment with her the next morning. My pain was minimal, honestly, I would refer to it as discomfort and a heaviness or tightness in my chest. I never had any incision pain. I was definitely not the best at following directions after the surgery. I tried my best to avoid lifting, but we have 4 young children, so anyone with kids knows how that went...lol! Plus, I did return to exercise (slowly, and avoiding anything that felt weird) a bit earlier than recommended. Despite all of this, my implants "dropped and fluffed" completely by the 1 month mark. (Just in time for Victoria's Secret semi-annual sale!????) They are very soft and 'squishy'. I have been religious with my massages, doing them daily while in the shower. My incisions are gorgeous. (Weird thing to say, but they are so thin and precise, they are a work of art!) As for meds, I took the opiate analgesics approximately three times and the muscle relaxers four or five. (I used the muscle relaxers to sleep more comfortably for several nights post op.) I had no nausea, so I didn't take any of the zofran. I took my antibiotics as advised.
I couldn't be happier with my experience and results. After spending 10 years either pregnant or breastfeeding, my body is finally mine again and thanks to Dr Ford, it looks great!
