Wow! It sure has been a while since I've updated my profile! I think I was too busy enjoying life with my new additions lol!
Since my surgery, my confidence and self esteem has sky rocketed! It's easily been the best decision of my LIFE! It's a lot of money to spend on yourself, but the way it makes you feel about yourself is absolutely priceless and worth every single cent! I love the size, shape and just everything! I'm so happy! I can wear any dress I want, and I can make them look huge in clothes or small, which I love the flexibility to be able to do that! Here's a few photos, I highly reccomend Dr Higgs, I have seen hundreds of photos on Google of what I wanted to look like, and can honestly say I like mine a lot more than them! I never have been so happy :) Reading all my posts I feel like such a wuss, it really isn't that painful. I have memories of getting my appendix taken out, getting my wisdom teeth taken out, and the pain of my breast implants was nothing close to the pain of the other two! It was a breeze when I look back at it to be honest, my advice now would still be the ice, recliner and neck pillow lol, but my biggest peice of advice is: If your wanting this surgery - DO IT! Do not hesitate, you deserve to feel happy about yourself! It's changed my life! :):):)

Mel, I have to say I had surgery yesterday and your breakdown of what to expect was so great! I am so thankful for it so I know that some of the things I can probably expect and are already happening happened to other people so big THANK YOU! your results look great and that dress is awesome! I can't wait till I can try on cute stuff like that! :)

Hi Mel,
I am looking at having this surgery done, but am yet to find a surgeon in Adelaide.
Were you happy with park side? And Dc Higgs?
They look fantastic by the way!

Hi,
Thanks for such a detailed write up!
Are you still happy with them? I have my op with Dr Higgs in April. He suggested I go over the muscle though.
March 20, 2015
And I personally would NEVER go over the muscle, I just think they don't look as natural and I like to keep the option open to breast feed in the future, maybe try explain to him you really want to go under and hopefully he will :) What were his reasons for wanting to go over?

Hey girls I had my breast done with dr higgs nearly a year ago.
I was so lucky that I didn't have much pain and was up and about by day 3.
I highly recommend this clinic and I believe it was the best decision I ever made however one year on I am starting to think I would like to go larger.
I went from a A cup to a D cup with a 325cc implant. Im a size 6 and ive been told my breast look perfect for my frame.
All the staff at Parkside are amazing.
I highly recommend making an appointment and seeing for yourself how great the client is.

I'm an Adelaide girl too! I'm going with dr Higgs too. Booked in for surgery in 5 weeks have my sizing appointment next week. I had lots of consults but can honestly say I got the best 'feeling' about dr Higgs! Fingers crossed it all goes well. I'm super nervous but equally excited!

some things I learnt along the way.
- take socks in with you to surgery, it is freezing in theatre!
- make sure you have jackets at home! very easy to get on and off, jumpers and tops are impossible to wear early days as you can take them off.
- listen to your surgeons advice: no matter what! all surgeons have very different ways of doing things, they know best!
- have clean sheets set up in your bed with lots of soft pillows, just incase you want to actually sleep in bed.
- have something you can grip your feet under to sit yourself up. i slept on my recliner that has a gap between the seat and the foot rest (just under my knees) and whenever I needed to sit up I put my feet under the leg rest and kind of done a sit up and used my stomach muscles to get up, I have no idea how I would have survived if I didnt have this!
- have some bather tops to wear if your surgical bra is uncomfy, make sure it has no underwire or alot of padding, it is very comfy to sleep in but check with your surgeon first!
- buy some instant cold packs if you can, you just snap them and they become ice cold because you dont want to be getting up every hour for ice!
- buy bottled water! I bought a 24 pack of mt franklins and kept next to me- best decision ever! (dont forget the bendy straws too)
- I had my mom take care of meds, but I read a really good idea to get zip lock bags and put your pain meds in preop to have all organized. write in black texta what it is and what time to take it (dont skip pain meds, set an alarm if you have to, you dont want to wake up in middle of night in pain, youll need your sleep). keep the empty bags iina box so u can keep record of exactly everything youve taken.
- I know ive said it already but make sure you have a neck pillow!!! espec in the car for ride home!
will try add some more helpful posts. just let me know what you girls wanna know and ill write up something fforyou all :)
hope eeveryone is recovering well and all you girls getting ready for your op arent too nervous! its not as bad as you might think, I was preparing for a terrible recovery and got a very easy one! day 7 and youll be back to yourself! :)

Thanks for the tips!!! Glad your recovery went well. What did you do about food? Did you make stuff ahead of time a d freeze it? Do smoothies? Anything make you sick?
I think I'm gonna have to cook a few dinners before hand or my husband and daughter will be living on fast food because he doesn't cook at all. Lol.
June 25, 2013
hey jenny! I personally didn't have to pre freeze anything, I dont have a husband or kids so I guess that helped ha! but I was just living off of toast with butter on it. I had a toaster next to my recliner ha! I have read alot of girls do pre freeze meals for family but I think after about day 5 youll be fine to cook something easy I would recommend fast food for couple nights hot chips or something and then from day 5 for about a week cook some simple foods like pasta or something, theyll be fine! :) I will give you a tip- buy disposable plates and cutlery! 1) you wont want to do dishes 2) rather than husband and kids doing dishes save their energy to help you out with things that you may need, try make their load easier so they dont complain about 'doing too much' and 3 its good to be able to throw a plastic plate sttaight into a bin next to you rather than having to walk it to the kitchen or having your dishes build up! :) and yes, I also lived on thickshakes rather than smoothies, so so good!

Omg your day 3 was EXACTLY like mine and the days 5-7 you hit the nail on the head again! Woooo that pain in the upper part of your neck and back is a KILLER! It kind of felt like coming down with the flu you know like how your body is extremely sore and achy! HORIFFIC that I couldn't and still can't sleep more than 3 hours at a time, I'm only 8.5 days post op and I know it'll get better.
