I’m a 34 year old mother of two. I’ve always been petite (breast included 32B.) After having children and becoming a fitness junkie, they become even smaller. So, I decided it was time to make the move. I began research in March, consults in April, and surgery in May. Dr. Maningas and staff have been totally AWESOME!!

First time of sizing I chose 350cc, but sized a second time and was torn between 400 and 450; 450 seemed too big for my frame, so I went with 415.

Immediately after surgery I was tired, but felt great (thanks to meds!) That evening wasn’t too bad, which I I found out was due to a local anesthetic being placed it the pockets. Overnight was okay. My husband set n alarm for every two hours to walk and alternate Valium and Norco.

Went for my check up. Surgeon and nurse said they look amazing! Doc said days two and three will be the hardest for me since I’m “so tiny, and have a very narrow rib cage.” He was not wrong, as today has been HELL for pain!! I’ve faithfully taken meds every two hours, iced, walked, moved as much as possible, but PAIN! My husband helped me shower, which made me feel much better! Also having the horrific strap off for a moment received a lot of pain and pressure! Looking forward to tomorrow’s shower!! ????

Friday (day 2) I pretty much slept all day and night. Saturday I also slept a lot, but did manage to go to the store, sit on the deck, and shower all by myself! Took some pics. I don’t see much difference, other than EXTREME belly bloat!!

Starting to feel better today. I’ve taken one dose of muscle relaxer, no narcotic pain med, two doses of regular Tylenol. I went to several stores, and visited my mom. I’m still very tired, but think I am definitely on the mend!

Feeling pretty good today. Worked a full day, cooked, cleaned, went for a walk. Have pretty good range of motion with my arms now. Still really bloated belly though ???? Hopefully a couple more days and I’ll feel like comparing pre-augmentation garments. ????????

Steri-strips removed, stitches removed, starting breast massage, bandeau only at night (thank you Jesus!!) Doc says everything looks good! Oh, and no more surgical bra.....just a regular zip up sports bra ???? Incisions look really good, I think they will heal well. Love Dr. M!! See him again in 5 weeks.

Did a light lower body workout today, and tried on some pre-procedure suits and few new ones.
