I'm 29 yrs old, and to say that I've always been very self-conscious of the way my practically nonexistent boobs look, is a MAJOR understatement. I'm FINALLY going to have nice, normal looking boobs, & I couldn't be more excited! Just booked my surgery yesterday with Dr. DeLuca in Albany, & booked the hotel that I'll be staying in. I'm pretty nervous about the amount of pain I'll be in post BA, but not enough to deter me from having them done :) Im also concerned about the results I'll have because I'm very picky, & want them to be gorgeous (wish pics to follow), & I'm not exactly starting out with a good "canvas" lol. Also wondering about the best post-op bra to get (day & sleeping), where to get ice packs specifically for this procedure (and which ones), what vitamins/supplements to buy to help healing & recovery time, & the best scar cream to get. Any tips, suggestions, & personal experience sharing, would be greatly appreciated :) Pics of type of results I'm hoping for... Not necessarily size, but the shape & "look" I want

I couldn't be happier with my results!! My breasts look amazing already, thanks to Dr. Deluca. I am probably one of the pickiest ppl I know, and for me to say how wonderful they look, is saying a lot. The doctor & his staff were beyond supportive & professional, and there is no question in my mind, that I made the right decision in going with Dr. Deluca. Before & after pics to follow soon!!

Hello LaurenT58, I loved the results you got from your surgery with Dr de Luca. I am actually considering him to correct my tuberous breasts. Can you tell me more of your experience before going to surgery? Were you scared about having general anaesthesia and how long did it take? how was the pre-op care for you by the doctor and his staff?
I would be flying from Australia and i am really scared about having general anaesthesia.
Any useful feedback would be great! You can message me on here if you life :-)
Thanking you in advance, Annabelle7

It was an all-around wonderful experience. I was the world's most annoyingly neurotic patient, before & after surgery, but Dr. DeLuca & all of the staff were great with me. They were happy to answer alllllllll of my many crazy questions. And I was not in nearly as much pain after as I thought I would be. Just stock up on 8 gel ice packs (2 on each boob & a 2nd set to alternate with) & laxatives bc the constipation from the pain killers & the anesthesia was prob the worst part. Also I would ask for ibuprofen 800's bc the prescription strength works better than simply taking 4 regular ones for some reason. Go to Dr. DeLuca, you'll be so happy u did. Good luck! Google Breast implant surgery checklists too! I found some very helpful things on there :)

Lauren! May I ask what size and implant type you have? I have tuberous breasts, too, and your result is amazing. Thanks! Also, did he correct the herniation in the surgery or did you have a follow up appointment?

Took too many percocets earlier (2 instead of 1) & I was beyond messed up & feeling sick... Then got a migraine from being dehydrated. Anyway, still healing beautifully, & couldn't be happier. Here are some pics of me pre-op & 2 days post op.
Congratulations on scheduling your surgery! It's neat to see your progression over time. I saw your Q&A about your breasts from 9 months ago. Here you are today, 2 months pre op. I think you will be very pleased with your new look. Did you discuss type and size of implants? I'm assuming you may get different sized implants in each breast?
