I’m very impressed with the service I received from Dr. Khan and her staff! I have mitral valve prolapse and regurgitation so there was some concern there. But, Dr. Khan was in contact with my cardiologist and both decided how to proceed with my breast augmentation surgery- they were both cautious about this and ultimately decided to do the surgery at Baylor Uptown. Dr. Khan catered my surgery to my health and she prioritised my health. I’m very happy I found her cause she was straight to the point, always honest with me every step of the way, and took extra measures given my heart condition. She recommended what size implants would work for me and she explained in detail what I should expect pre-op and post-op. I highly recommend Dr. Khan to any one interested in breast augmentation. She did an amazing job and I’m extremely happy with my results and the care I received!
Very personable. Great staff. Really gets what I want.This review was created as part of a nomination to the RealSelf I Love My Injector Campaign.
She is amazing, efficient, and always pain free. Love the results I get from Dr.Khan!This review was created as part of a nomination to the RealSelf I Love My Injector Campaign.
I did a lot of research before selecting a surgeon. I couldn’t find anyone in my area who performed a 24 hour recovery, so I was thrilled when I learned about Dr. Khan, and that she was only a 5 hour drive from my location. During my consultation, I was impressed with the entire team—Hannah, Nurse Betty, and Dr Khan answered all my questions, and made me feel so comfortable. Any nerves I had about the procedure were gone after meeting with them. My biggest concern was long term complications from selecting something that wasn’t right for my body. Dr Khan uses a precise measurement system to calculate what will work best and be safest for you. I believe that’s why I do not feel like I have anything foreign or heavy in me. I am already back to my regular exercise routine! For anyone wondering if the 24 hour recovery is real or safe, I would say yes! Absolutely! I felt only pressure initially, but no pain. It hurt more when my milk came in breastfeeding. For anyone considering breast augmentation, I tell them to go see Dr Khan— she is the best at what she does!
Ever since I gained and lost the freshman 15 I have had deflated breasts. I am looking to add volume and stay natural looking. I still have another visit but I believe I will use Dr. Khan in Dallas. She does implants by your size availability so you're new implants truly fit your body and breast structure. I am a working professional and want the improvement for myself. However, my goal is to have as little impact on work and life as possible. I am more excited after my meeting with Dr Khan than before! It seems like it will be what I am looking for. I understand others desire to go BIG but not for me. I have been wary of the all too common story of going in for one size and coming out larger! I plan to decide by mid July! Updated on 10 Jul 2017: Scheduled my appointment for 9/1!! Super excited for this to come to fruition after 10 years of actively thinking about it!! I have read so many good things about Dr.Khan. I am so thankful for this app to share info. It seems that there are other doctors claiming to do this for less $$, but more than one issue with the results afterwards. My insurance will pay 90% of my mammogram and my blood work all in all they expect me to be out of pocket less than $50 which actually is a little lower than the rounding up I did for the price with them doing the blood work. The consult, pre op, operation, anesthesia post op, insurance and any appointments for 45 days after as well as some silicone cream for my scars are included. The best part is I will be myself afterwards with no narcotics and will be able to move afterwards as well as shower etc. Not to mention I will not have to waste good pretty bra money on sports bras!! I will have to post some before pics soon! Excited in Dallas! Updated on 16 Aug 2017: Had my po on Monday. Brought the hubs this time. So cute he read all the documents I had to sign! He got to talk to Dr. Khan and feel the implant, he seemed even more at ease after we left! I couldn't remember all the details from the consult so I got to go over those again. I am so excited no special bras, I can sleep how I want, no massaging,'no showering restrictions other than a specific morning of soap and dial afterwards. I think she really wants you to go to dinner that night so you don't just lie there and allow stuff to tighten! I really secretly want to prove my friends wrong, they all think that's crazy! Honestly, if I didn't have to wait 6 weeks to work out I would be starting with no complaints! ???? not that that rule isn't without merit, just worried about being so lazy! Let's see ...what else...oh my surgery is expected to be no more than 45 min in/out. Which is great less time under anesthesia; which apparently also has a bonus of less constipation issues! Still taking my doculax prior though! Bought "dimrs" on amazon due to many recommendations so I will have to try them out. Some say they stick while wearing nothing some say tight top required..only one way to find out! I am very excited, can't believe it's so soon! I am not nervous yet, hoping that doesn't change! The only concern I have is my hubs Bestie is coming down the week after my BA and I KNOW he will notice. The only guy I know who notices EVERY change! Sometimes I am glad my hubs has selective noticing skills! Hahaha. I've enjoyed and learned a lot from this site. I will also post pics once ba is complete. 2.5 weeks to go! Updated on 31 Aug 2017: This app is being finicky so forgive me if another review miraculously pops up !! Also note that I can't update my BA details to 8/31!! Feeling good. Napped, showered, ate and have been doing my stretches on schedule. I am high and tight with swelling of course. A little bruise on my right breast bear the incision and tender at my ribs. But it's discomfort more than anything else. I was thoroughly impressed with the way I was treated today. From the nurses to the anesthesiologist to Dr Khan. All so friendly and took great care of me!! Waking up was little more of a process than I anticipated but did just fine. Thank god for excellent nurses and for the sprite and lozenges they provided. Against my desire to eat super clean, I ate the simple carbs they suggested to avoid nausea. I have not had any nausea at this point though so I guess it didn't hurt! Hope tomorrow is improved as anticipated! I Will update in the next few days! Updated on 1 Sep 2017: I couldn't update or add to my first review. So here it goes. BA this morning at roughly 930am. I have been home. Napped and showered and ate and done my stretches all on schedule! I have some tightness and l am a wee bit uncomfortable on my sides, particularly my right rib area. A small bruise near the incision on my right breast. Other than that since it's a work night for the hubs we won't be going out to dinner but I have been up and about and could easily not only go, but enjoy myself! They are high and tight but look great already. Cotton camisoles appear they will be my best piece of attire for the next 6 weeks. I am glad it is getting cooler-ish in TX now! Will update more later! Updated on 19 Sep 2017: I have been very happy so far. Day 1 I went home. Slept, showered did my arm movements and hung out at home. The following day I hung out with friends! I have been able to go to work,dinners with friends etc since then. My friends who most all have had implants have been shocked at my ability to operate so close to normal! Even their husbands are shocked! About 7 days in the nipple sensitivity was off the charts. Luckily I got smart and started wearing dimr nipple covers, what a huge relief. They are the essential item very girl having a BA needs! So much so I think it should be a pre op item like your soap options and sweats to surgery! At 14 days I tried a walk around the neighborhood at a slow pace but the girls got swollen and tight so I am holding off another week to try again. I also had to take off my own steri strips which was easier than I thought! One side looks really good, the other is probably more like what one should expect to see. Not bad just not as smooth as the other. As of today, The swelling is subsiding very slowly. I am pretty up and down all day plus a 2 hour commute 5 days a week. Still with That, along with my "tight pecs" (the nurse warned me) I can't complain about much. The only thing I would like is to be able to sleep even more comfortably and not feel so weird when things push on my boobs! I am a back sleeper. Laying back is awkward and I can't reach behind my head to adjust my hair when I do lay down. I feel like I have to get the girls in proper place and lay my arms specifically. Once I fall asleep I am not woken from any of it so at least it's short lived. I feel like the weeks tick off on cue my improvement levels, so I am hoping before I know It the "little things" go away. For example, the fact that my boobs are still sensitive and swollen. The fact that the implants haven't fallen into place so there are still awkward movements. The not my own feeling! I can already say I am happy with the results already and I expect to be very happy once the proper time passes! The hardest part is the 6 weeks of waiting for the clearance to resume working out, swimming etc. Will try to update at 1 mo as well. Hopefully this helps someone! Especially if you're on the fence with Dr. Khan and her 24 hour recovery! Updated on 26 Oct 2017: I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Dr. Kahn and her staff. My goal for this endeavor was simply to fill out what I already had which had deflated from younger weight gain and then loss along with being in my late 30’s now. I didn’t want my co-workers or acquaintances to be able to easily tell I had a BA, but I did want to be able to tell in how I filled out clothes to how I looked in a bikini. Not to mention; I wanted to look good in that area in my birthday suit again! I was terrified of ending up too large, many friends went in thinking they would come out one size and the PS ended up going bigger because it “could fit”. I also did not want to be “down for a long time”. I am a business professional and my career and active lifestyle were important factors in my decision making. I read about Dr. Tebbetts 24 hour recovery surgery and from there I found Dr. Khan who had in fact learned from him.From the first call in to Hannah and her wonderful demeanor at the front desk I had the feeling I was going to end up with them. I met with Dr. Khan in July and the appointment was very specific. I did not need a lift, she did my measurements and she looked into 2 different sizes. Upon further consultation around the width vs size gained she decided upon the smaller of the 2. I should mention the difference was only 15cc and although it is a small difference I am glad she stuck to her decision and did not allow me to change them!Overview: The first 24 hours went as expected and I was hanging out with friends and back to work the following week and I did not miss a beat. Sleeping was a little challenging as I could only lie on my back and was a little uncomfortable but not painful. I tried walking a couple weeks in and I could immediately feel the pressure build up so I decided to table that until I got closer to my 6 week mark. The biggest adjustment was the nipple sensitivity the first 4 weeks. I bought nipple covers and some penetrex to use on the nipple area only and it opened up a whole new world, which was about week 2.5, wish I had done it sooner! Pushing myself up using my arms was a challenge and one that I didn’t think of! I had to get creative on getting out of bed and out of lower chairs etc. The pain was never unbearable, the biggest “issue” for me was my body adjusting overall to the change, my temperature as my body healed, sleeping and muscle movements as they repaired themselves. As week 5 approached I began walking keeping my heart rate at a minimum and by week 6 when I was cleared I was working out again and lifting. The first few times were a big adjustment with learning what feels weird versus not hurting, it was just adjusting to a new normal.At 8 weeks I am 99%! I am sure there is more settling to come but with the exception on my right side needing to drop a bit more into the pocket I look and feel GREAT! I am able to wear bras now which oddly I missed; being a business professional I feel like a bra is a necessity! It is nice to just wear a bra without push up!Hope this review helps someone make the choice! If I had to do it all over again I would do EXACTLY what I did. I am so pleased with the process, all of the medical professionals at Khan Plastic Surgery and the outcome!
I'm about 2.5 months post-op for a breast reduction and lift with Dr. Farah Naz Khan. Not only am I all healed up and feeling great now, I had absolutely ZERO back/neck/shoulder pain immediately after my surgery and every day since! 20 years of constant pain gone immediately after the surgery!! I spent several years saving and planning to have the surgery, and once I met with Dr. Khan and Betty I was immediately sure I was ready and had chosen the right place. From my initial consultation, through all of the pre-ops and labs, the day of surgery and all 3 post-op appointments I've had so far, Dr. Khan and her staff have been incredibly informative, caring, encouraging, and flexible. I've got about 1 month until my last check up, and I'm using ScarGuard, so I'll post some before/after pics then. If you are considering a breast reduction to help with back/neck/shoulder pain - just do it!! It's 100% worth it!!! If you're considering any sort of cosmetic procedure, I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Khan at Khan Plastic Surgery!!!!
Ever since I was about 13 years old, I have had large breasts. I am now 24 years old, 5'4", 155lbs, with 36G breasts. I have suffer from neck pain and shoulder pain on a regular basis. I began researching breast reduction surgery when I was 16 years old, and have always been a bit nervous. Well I finally went for it, but It all happened so quickly. I searched through realself for surgeons in Dallas TX and came across the great reviews for Dr. Farah Kahn. I scheduled my consultation for January 18th. Dr Khan was very professional and informative. She explained how the process of requesting my approval through insurance works. I was expecting to wait 4 weeks for a response. I found out yesterday, January 26th that my insurance approved the claim. My surgery is scheduled for February 18th and I couldn't be happier. I will post an update after the surgery. But if you are looking for a great surgeon in Dallas, Dr. Khan is perfect! Updated on 11 Feb 2016: So my surgery date is now Feb 25th. I have my pre-op appointment on Monday and I'm very excited. I'll Keep you guys posted with photos after the procedure. Updated on 16 Feb 2016: So, I went in for my Pre Op yesterday. Every day I feel more at ease with the surgeon I chose. Of course we all have doubts. But I walked into my preop appointment with a notebook in hand and a full page of questions that kept haunting me. Dr. Khan and her nurse Ms. Betty were extremely informative. I also call and email the receptionist Hannah with my questions and I was sure that I had been getting on everyone's nerves. But they have all remained very professional, super nice, and willing to help in any way. They even put a rush on my lab orders, which got done this morning by the way. 9 days until surgery. Gearing up for freedom of my shoulder pains. I will definitely be giving my overall experience and rating of Dr. Khan after the procedure. Much thanks to the office of Khan Plastic Surgery. Updated on 26 Feb 2016: OMG MY LIFE HAS CHANGED! first things first.... I feel nothing more than a little soreness! I wasn't prescribed heavy pain pills and was only prescribed antibiotics to fight infection and ibuprofen 800 for inflammation and pain. I can't tell you how happy I am to be up and moving so soon after surgery. Dr. Khan's nurse, Mrs. Betty, has assured me that I need to keep moving, lifting my arms, etc. All the things others have said they couldn't do. Apparently it's all in Dr. Khan's technique. And I'm glad about it. I do have drains, they can be kind of annoying. But hopefully the drains are coming out on Monday. I feel great and once the swelling goes down I'll be even better. I have post Op photos, I had great results. Dr khan is amazing.
I chose Dr. Khan initially because she is close by and Board Certified and routinely does "Mommy Makeovers" which often includes lipo. Her credentials are stellar and she also does reconstructive surgery which often requires a bit of artistry. Although I had 2 additional Dr.s in mind to consult with, after meeting with her I was confident she was a good choice. And I have to mention how stunning and immaculate her office is (and I've seen a few, lol).... and how fabulous her staff is (Hannah & Betty) but more on that later. I've had lipo in the past. A loooooooong time ago on my outer thighs as I had "saddle bags". I had mostly really great results but the canulas were very large back then (about year 2000) and I was very thin so I do have a spot on one of my thighs that is slightly indented. Dr. Khan looked at the area and we decided it would just be better to just leave it alone. Now, I might not be as detailed here as some because I already know what to expect for the most part. The cliff notes are as follows: You put a gown on, you step in front of a mirror (uuuuughh) and discuss your "areas of concern" with your Dr. Basically you point out all the cringeworthy spots that led you to the Dr. in the first place. She decides if you are a good candidate and sets realistic expectations. For example, some patients, perhaps women who have had kids or people with drastic weight loss or older patients with lax skin, will not see the results they want without having loose extra skin removed. You then pose for the dreaded "BEFORE" photos. After a brief exam, photos and discussion, Dr. Khan pulled up a recent lipo patient that is a similar weight and body type to mine which was helpful in determining what my results would probably resemble. Then Hanna delivers the bad news.. Lol, just kidding, it's "expected" news as she goes over the prices. And that's basically it for the consult so you either go on your merry way and think about it, consult with other Dr.s, or put down a deposit and schedule the big day! Which is what I did... I am 5'6 and 47yrs old (in a month) and until I was 44 I hovered between 115-118 lbs with zero effort or dieting but was quite active. At 45 my weight started to climb, I was diagnosed with endometriosis, and desperately needed a hysterectomy. I had to save up not only the HUGE deductible but also for the time off which took me another year. A few months later an unlicensed/uninsured driver slammed in to my vehicle on the freeway which required months of treatments and more of the sedentary lifestyle that was wreaking havoc on my waistline (I was lucky to not be injured worse then I was though). All of this stuff, the down time, and my changing body (and face but that's another review) just mentally took it's toll... My weight is between 125-130 and is a healthy weight. Im not so concerned about the "numbers". But my BELLY FAT FOLD and my MUFFIN TOP, SPARE TIRE, or "hips" as Dr. K calls them, have GOT to go! So it was either buy looser gym tops, bigger jeans, and forgiving blouses or have it all sucked out and then get back to the gym! I did actually try a couple of horrid diets and dropped down to 120 but that Belly didn't budge! So the areas I wanted done were my belly and my hips and the price quoted was $5900. I was on the fence about my inner thighs at the time and ultimately didn't mention it because of the (unknown) extra cost. BUT, the more I thought about it later on, I wondered just HOW MUCH it would be to throw those suckers in there too... so I called the bearer of bad news, Hannah, and asked if she could approximate the cost (You MUST know outside of her duty to tell you how much your bank account will be depleted, she is the sweetest girl ever!) She gave me a rough estimate and then scheduled an additional consult for me. Here's the thing for the newbies to know... if you get lipo and then gain weight, those devious little fat cells will find a new home! And the new home on my body (because I sucked out their outer thigh abode) was on the top front of my thigh. So not exactly inner thigh though they were generously spilling in there too. Dr. Khan said if she did the inner thigh I'd have loose skin but when we talked about the upper thigh, she agreed that we could address that area. It was an additional $1500 but that was the exact # I was ok with in terms of spending more. Im secretly hoping to eventually lipo every single area on my body so that any weight I gain is strictly in my face! Kidding! But would be cool... Prep. Dr. K will give you a script to have blood work done and the cost is included in your quote. Mine was at Quest Diagnostics. No waiting, super fast, very reputable company. You will need an EKG which is the only part thus far that got a little tricky. You have to do this on your own at your own expense. For most I guess it's a non-issue. For me it was. So never having had one and with my crappy insurance company needing a "referral to any specialist" from my Primary Care Dr., I was looking at a Primary Care visit copay, a worse Specialist co-pay, then the co-pay for the EKG which ultimately might have been rejected due to the nature of my "elected" surgery. Long story short and over a half-dozen, immediately answered and helpful phone calls to Hannah, she referred me to Heart Place for a cash pay of $26.39 for my EKG. If ya'll know the medical world, nobody does anything for 27 bucks!! Not only that, but I had no wait time, the EKG took 15 minutes mx, and you see the results right away! It also happened to be at Baylor which is top notch here in Dallas! Yeeeeeessss. Its all coming together now. So today (literally the night before), I filled my scripts. Betty (whom I only briefly met at my consults) left me a message telling me they were ready to be picked up. I have the latest iPhone software that transcribes voicemails but is on a huge delay!! I had no idea she called until 5pm today but she called with a very sweet detailed message. Anyway, heads up! No pain pills outside of Ibuprofrin BUT after a lengthy chat with Dr. K, even her Mommy Makeover patients do fine without it... I actually prefer this as I dont like the strong painkillers and there side effects and she ASSURED me they will not let me suffer in pain at the end of the day. That makes me a teeny bit nervous but even some Facelift patients on here only take strong meds just the first day. Ok, so 3 minutes til midnight so gonna get some rest... I KNOW I will feel like a truck ran over, backed up, and re-ran over me tomorrow but I'll try to post! Gonna try to upload the befores right now....Updated on 9 Feb 2017: Oooooooooouch geez this hurts! Get to that in a minute. I had my surgery scheduled for 11 a.m.. I opted not to do the crack o' dawn surgery because I had my house/pet sitter driving me and that just isn't cool to ask for that too. What I DIDN'T factor in was the thirst factor I'd have the "day of" (had the standard nothing to eat or drink after midnight)! OMG, that was pretty brutal! I obviously had plenty of fat stores to feed my body so the no food part was no biggy. But the thirst was REAL folks!! After checking in I changed in to the, well what exactly do you call that "thing" that only slightly resembles a robe? Well we'll go with "gown" for discussion's sake. I was tucked in to soft blankets on a waiting table, which was next to the surgery room, and peacefully drifted in and out of a nap while listening to really cool 90's music... because Dr. Khan and her team are cool like that... THEN I was looking at the IV bottle hanging next to me and it reminded me of HOW THIRSTY I WAS! It reminded me in a torturous "mirage in the desert" kind of way... Uuugh!! The Dr. came in and marked all the areas and then Jason, who you'll love & who handles the anesthesia, put my IV in. Couple of things to note... Dr. Kahn is the most accessible Dr. I have ever had that answers questions or concerns within an hour or so if not minutes... and her staff is as well. 10 stars right there! AND.... just don't wear make-up/lashes/jewelry of any kind. Yes, it sucks but it is what it is so let these people do their job and don't do things that will irritate them or slow them down. AT all. I went in with my bare, peely pink Retin-A face and nobody in the building/office gasped or fainted at my appearance. Sooo, suck it up buttercups! A few minutes after I was wheeled in to the surgery room, it was sayonara... When the procedure was done I was wheeled in to a recovery room to finish waking up. The Sprite that I had previously begged for, didn't even sound good.... where am I?? So, yeah, people... IT HURTS LIKE HELL!!! I def was in a TON of pain but it wasn't the sore pain that will be hanging around for a while but more of a painful burning sensation. Dr. Khan explained that it should be better tonight (which it is) and then the areas will go numb. Jason adjusted the meds and it helped quite a bit. Then they slowly sat me up and the whole world started to spin.... and here comes the nausea... noooooo! I laid down a few more minutes until it somewhat subsided. This was one of the things I dreaded the most, and it happened. The girl right before me seemed to fare much better. Keep in mind it is entirely different for every person. They dressed me and took me to my awaiting ride in a wheelchair. The ride home was not as bad as I thought it would be. Going over bumps did not cause any discomfort and did not elevate my nausea. And ooooh how I prayed that my stomach contents would just stay in my stomach for the 20 minute drive. My friend took me up to the 5th floor of my building's parking garage as it is the highest one and was the one most likely to allow me to enter the elevators in "stealth" mode. As luck would (not) have it, several lovely ladies were going up and one even to my floor.... BUSTED!! I wonder if they even noticed my sunglasses, my pink peely face, my IV bandage covering my hand, the Dr. Khan plastic surgery bag used to carry your what-nots and that has a giant logo screen printed on it , the black Hefty-look-a-like-bury-a-body-in-the-back-yard plastic bag poking out of the giant logo bag?? Nah, probably not... They were just glancing over because I looked extra cute today, right?? Ohhhh, noooo! Here it comes!! Find keys, find keys, find keys. Well up it came (actually hardly anything) but I am happy to say there were no eyewitnesses and luckily I was parked & praying to the porcelain.... Feeling a lot of pain and nausea so I took Ibuprofen & took a 3 hr nap. Woke up feeling much better. Feeling mostly sore. I checked my garments and had leaked a lot. See photos... WEAR BLACK LADIES!! I bought a Juicy black velour track suit because cool or not cool... They are back! If the bottoms are pretty fitted, go up one size and get a larger top w/ a full zipper.... Ill take more photos right now. I have a follow-up in the morning so I'll post afterward.Updated on 13 Feb 2017: Well, today I'm 4 days post..... Thursday was the op, Friday got around "ok" and went to my post-op but Saturday and Sunday were nothing short of brutal!! Sitting, standing, resting, walking... all hugely challenging. Capital P.A.I.N! And to say that I am swollen is an understatement. Uuuuuugh... I am definitely not feeling my usually chipper self. Besides the bruising, swelling, and soreness, my compression garment is annoyingly troublesome and it's making me grouchy!. It's creating 2 deep (painful) creases in the front when I sit/and one on the back where the garment elastic stops at the top. After reading a TON of reviews and Dr.s comments, I am a bit weary of this creating permanent dents. Since Im so early out, Im gonna be very pro-active in preventing the things that I can. The nurse said to use maxi-pads to cushion the ares. That seemed to help some but they collapse too easily under the pressure of the garment and crease too. I ended up getting Reston foam pads that are about paper sized and 1/2" thick. I placed one in the front of my garment and one in the back without actually using the adhesive (which can cause it's own issues). HUGE relief and finally was able to sleep last night. I can also sit now without the dreaded denting. The sides are still digging in a bit up top but Im hoping it will ease up as the swelling goes down. My legs though super sore, have been very comfortable in the garment. Speaking of garments, I have a quality medical grade garment supplied by my Dr. from Marena. You actually pay for two, a Phase 1 for the initial healing after your surgery and typically a one size smaller garment for Phase 2. My garment goeas from just underneath the breasts and extends down to just above my knee with eye-hook and zipper fasteners going up each side. I see girls on here buying all types of garments from all over the internet and I see differing opinions from Dr.s as well. All I would say about that is that you chose your Dr. for a reason and have hopefully seen lots of examples of their work. I would follow your Dr.s instructions and give them any feedback if you feel like you are having issues. I do have an issue with my garment right now because I am SO SWOLLEN on my entire torso, back and sides... It has a 3" wide tight elastic band at the top that is seriously digging in to my skin :( I just ordered the same garment but without the elastic band and with shoulder straps that should correct that horrible pressure. I found it on Marena's website but ordered it off of Ebay for $53 (as opposed to $103 on their website and $150 from my Dr.). Marena actually sells on Ebay for about 50% off on some styles. The Dr. estimates I'll be in my secondary garment when Im 2 weeks out so it's worth the extra expense to be somewhat more comfortable and to keep my sanity until then! I have to say that today, Day 4, the pain has gone down a level. Two full days of agaonizing definitely took it's toll. If you are reading this, there is a good chance that your day 2 & 3 will be nightmare-ish too but just hang tight and keep moving around moderately and mentally prepare yourself if you haven't had your surgery done yet.... I wasn't going to post photos til' a week out but since Im gonna have a shower, I'll put a few up tonight.... and sorry for the super boring & lackluster update but my sense of humor is currently bruised and battered...Updated on 8 Apr 2017: Photos week 3. Super bruised still but optimistic. Concerned about irregularities, especially on my thighs but I know and was told I have lots of swelling still... Starting to have anxiety about my decision...Updated on 8 Apr 2017: 7 weeks out and having major regrets... I had a follow-up with Dr. Khan today (not the day Im writing this but at 7 weeks) and expressed concern over the flat areas on my thighs and the "outline" of the treated site that doesn't blend with the other areas. Really bummed as I was never concerned with the top muscle part of my thigh, as that's where I can gain results in the gym and doesn't have much fat, but my concern was the upper most part of my thigh that meats my torso. I literally sat down in a chair during my consult so I could grab the 2-3" excess fat there to show the area I wanted treated. Not sure why the area was lipoed so far down or at all except I know they need to feather whatever area is being treated. I was told it was too early to tell as I still have swelling (and I get that and only wanted to be hopeful) but I logically know that volume loss will not come back in the irregular areas and my fears are slowly coming true.... Stomach is looking pretty bad too :(((Updated on 8 Apr 2017: I am one day short of 2 months out today.... I am depressed, in tears, and have reached out to Dr. Khan's nurse, Betty as she is available via text. My body is a mess. It's hard to look at. I am in total disbelief as to what I see in the mirror and feel like I am certain to face revision, which I cannot wrap my mind around. I have not heard from Dr. Khan yet but am hoping to. The cost, recovery, and STRESS alone has made this a nightmare. But to invest in an improvement in myself after hard times and then be faced with results (I understand I might see some improvement in 4 months) WAY worse than when you started, is beyond devastating. Not sure if I can ever show these parts of my body again and they weren't that bad to begin with :( My legs and stomach look like that of a 90 year old :(((((( I won't even look at my back yet. I've always been thin with moderate exercise and never worried about weight/body but after a struggle with some life circumstances and inactivity over the last 5 years , I gained a SMALL amount of weight on stomach, hips, and thighs that made me feel not like ME anymore. At this point I'd give anything to turn the clock back 2 months... What have I done :(
Hard to answer this without an in person exam and specific breast measurements (and not just your height/weight). Remember also that there is no direct correlation between implant size (cc's) and cup size. Best option is to choose a board certified plastic surgeon who actually takes the time to measure you and examine your breast pocket. Sizers will only give you a rough estimate. The goal of breast augmentation is to optimally fill your breast pocket, not to overstuff or understuff it. At my practice, we utilize a series of 5 breast measurements that help me determine the ideal implant size, which in turn helps me deliver a 24 hour recovery. Do your research and choose a surgeon who takes the time to sit down with you and discuss your goals/expectations to determine the best size for you. Good luck!!
Swelling takes several weeks to months to fully resolve. As the swelling decreases, the breast tissue softens. Just give your body adequate time to heal and you will start seeing a change in breast shape and feel. Good luck!
I typically advise my patients at 6 weeks to get a good fitting bra that will give them the support needed, especially when they start working out. Remember that gravity always wins so the more support you have, the better your results will be long term. Good luck!!
Hard to answer this without an in person exam. Best to be seen by your operating surgeon so you can be fully evaluated and examined in person and the best recommendations can be given to you.
