34 Year Old Mom of 2...scheduled for Breast Lift with Implants

I gave birth to my first daughter at the age of 17 and breastfed. I had amazing boobs prior to becoming a mom and despite breastfeeding my breast weren’t terrible. However I knew that I wanted more children. Fast forward 16 years later, I gave birthday to my second daughter in Feb 2018. I breast fed again and my boobs never recovered!! I knew that I wanted to restore my confidence and my breast. After a year of research and much deliberating I began to do my research for a physician that performed both mastopexy with implants. I found Dr. Ferraro on RealSelf- from my initial consultation on 6/26/20 I couldn’t be more pleased with Dr. Ferraro’s approach and vast array of knowledge. He addressed my concerns and thoroughly explained the process from beginning to end. I was so excited at my pre-op appointment on 7/9/20-where I chose my desired size as I will be getting Saline implants and we discussed more thoroughly the surgical process and recovery. I have one more appointment for COVID-19 testing on 7/16/20 and my procedure is scheduled for 7/22/20. I will update accordingly.

I am in way less pain than I expected. I would describe it more as discomfort but totally worth it. I slept sitting upright in my lounge chair with my feet elevated on the ottoman and was pretty comfortable. Dr. Ferraro is exceptional and I couldn’t be any more pleased with my experience. The ambulatory care center where my surgery was preformed was state of the art. The staff of nurses and the anesthesiologist were amazing. I woke up feeling a little nauseous but other than that I have no complaints. I saw Dr. Ferraro today to change my dressing and I must admit I’m feeling pretty good.

This pic is from 1 week post op 7/29/20. I still had my steri-strips on to support the incisions. I had already had 2 post-op appointments at this time and was able to drive myself. I couldn’t put my hands above my head yet at this point but the swelling had reduced significantly and I was feeling pretty much back to normal.
