After researching to perfect doctor for years and having a few consultations as well. I finally decided to go with Dr. Tony Watt in Tampa, FL. Booking my consult was super easy, however he was booked out for a few months. On consult day, I met him and he’s very personable and knew exactly what I was looking for.Answered all my questions and I never felt rushed. I didn’t try on sizers since he is a visual person and goes off pictures to get you exactly what your wanting. All of his staff are very sweet and nice. My surgery day is tomorrow 9/11/21 @ 9:15am. I am super nervous to go under anesthesia AND also what I will look like after. I’m a mom of 3 boys (11,9,6) and all I can think about is the “what if...”.I know everything will be just fine because my gut feeling is making me feel an overall calmness, but still… I will update tomorrow after my surgery. Wish me luck :)

So, I got Dr. Watt’s office at 8;30 and was called back to the room. I made a collage board of pictures in sections that were too small, too big and just right. All of his staff were so nice!! I wish I remembered their names :( Dr. Watt came in makes me up, I showed him my collage board, got my IV going, and then I was off to surgery! I woke up in a TON of pain! Pain in my chest (like it was on fire inside) and pain in my upper back/shoulders. The ride home was okay. When I got home I took my pain medicine they gave me. Sleeping was the worse! I could still feel the pain while I was sleeping.
Today is day 2 of surgery. Not in a lot of pain like yesterday. My chest feels tight and my skin is stretched to the max! My boobs look horrible right now, but that is normal. I got 520cc’s and they Look HUGE!! I wasn’t expecting them to be so big! I know the swelling is just enhancing it, but I need them way smaller. We will see how everything goes before I really freak out.
I do have to say Dr. Watt and his staff are very nice people! 5

I’m feeling very sad right now. These boobs are HUGE!! Even with the swelling down I think they will be too big for my body :( I just took a shower and looked in the mirror and absolutely hate them. Why did I do this to myself?!? I need a revision ASAP. Does anyone know when I could be able to do a revision? I basically cried the entire time in the shower because they look so big. I’ve ruined my body :( I would post a picture but I’m too embarrassed.

Here is a picture of what m looking like. I'm SUPER swollen. My right arm has a numbing sensation. I looked that up and apparently it's normal. I'm so uncomfortable as well. My entire chest feels like it's going to explode from the tension! Anyone who has gone this large can you tell me when things don't feel so tight and when will my breasts look some what normal?

I’m feeling really down today. Been crying on and off all day regretting doing this. These are HUGE and I look ridiculous! I look like Dolly Parton. I don’t think there is going to be anyway I can hide them. I don’t want to be around my family or friends because I look ridiculous. This was a huge mistake and I’m wanting to get a revision ASAP with a moderate profile somewhere in the 300’s. My post op visit is tomorrow and I am dreading it. I like the doctor and his staff and I don’t want to get him upset because I’m unhappy with my results. Ughhhh, I just was this over.

I went to my po visit yesterday and the doctor said I was extremely swollen. My skin is stretched to the max! He said once the swelling goes down my breasts won’t look so crazy and huge. He was very reassuring. I trust him. I have been lightly icing my breast, however the swelling has not gone down one bit :( any suggestions? Please I’m miserable. Other than that, I don’t have much to update on right now. I hope by week 3 things are much better and smaller (fingers crossed)

Wow! What a roller coaster this has been! I’ve never had any kind of surgery before and I honestly wasn’t prepared for the swelling and how that dramatically changes over TIME!…. The swelling has definitely gone down significantly (there is still more that will go down) however, with that said, I am LOVING my results so far AND extremely happy with the size Dr. Watt chose!!! He is honestly a wonderful surgeon! If I would have we any smaller I would have it been as happy as I am now. 520cc’s sounds (to me) HUGE, but honestly it’s not. This size fits my body very well and I dont look like Dolly Parton or un proportional even the slightest. As times goes on they will continue to settle. I’m so excited for what the future brings and I’m loving the present as well!! I will continue to update on my journey. I do have to say I still wake up every morning achey in my chest, but again, I’m barely 2 weeks po. They do still feel hard a bit, but will soften up with much time. I did stop taking the rx pain medicine the day of my post of visit with Dr. Watt. I noticed that medication negatively impacted my mental state and once I stopped taking it, I felt better mentally/emotionally. Not sure if that’s ever happened to anyone else :/
Surgery isn’t for impatient people (like myself) you need to be patient and be kind to yourself. I really appreciate everyone’s kinda words because it was a very scary time for me and I really fo appreciate that. I will update when I’m 1 month post op! :D

I am feeling 90% back to normal. I have been sleeping on my sides with very minimal discomfort. My boobs in the morning are not nearly as achey as they were in weeks 0-2. They are feeling jiggly and not as firm. I still have more settling to go. They feel like they are apart of me which in the first 2 weeks, I didn’t feel like that. I am extremely happy with my results so far!! The size is spot on and so glad Dr. Watt with this size! I have my 1 month post op appointment today. Other than that I have nothing to update on. I will do a 2 month update in another 4 weeks :)

Wow! 2 months have flown by so fast! And the swelling has gone completely away (imo) They are so soft and squishy and even now, bounce! They feel just like my own breast. I cant even tell that they are fake. Dr. Watt did such an amazing job! I feel so bad that I freaked it during the first week of my recovery. I honestly didnt know the swelling would be so bad, which totally distorts your perception. He definitely gave me what I wanted! Mind you, on surgery day I brought in a poster board with 3 categories: too big; too small; perfect! Dr. Watt gave me EXACTLY what I wanted! When I initially heard I got 520cc’s, I was shocked! (Not in a good way either) That number scared the crap out of me! And the first week of recovery the swelling was bad (imo) However, WITH TIME, the swelling went down and the boobies started to fall into place
