I recently had my Breast Augmentation by Dr. Robert Colgrove at Vinnings Surgery Center in Atlanta, Ga. I've always wanted boobs but I figured they'd grow as I got older or had children but that wasn't the case for me. Shortly after I had my daughter I did have boobs & cleavage but my boobs have went down drastically. Before being pregnant I was a 34A almost 2 years later I went down to a 32AA. I've always been this but not as flat chested. Then last year I was assault by a known hair stylist here in Atlanta & I feel as though that made my self-esteem lower. So I decided to go ahead and get my boobs done & im so happy I went through with it. I am now 3 days post op. The first day wasn't so bad I slept didn't do much of anything. However, yesterday had to be the worst. I was in unbearable pain & the morphine wasn't very helpful. I could not even stay awake or function. I was beyond exhausted & my chest hurt so bad to breath. Not to mention when I tried to take a shower I thought I was going to die. My mom called the nurse to see if I can be prescribed a different med because the morphine wasn't really working so the nurse advised me to stop taking the morphine and take 2 of the hydro cordon which work so much better. The only issue I'm still having is labored breathing but other than that everything's going good so far. Also upon having my surgery I met with Dr. Colgrove once but the day of surgery he made me feel so comfortable, also the nurse Robin was amazing she held my hand through the entire process like a mother which was very comforting. I can't forget Chris anesthesiologist he was very kind. Kind enough to check on me afterwards. I just really appreciate everyone.

I tried to take myself off the pain meds but I'm still experiencing pain. I'm not sure what harm massaging the knots out can cause but it's been so soothing. If you know why it's best to avoid right now please let me know. But they're still very swollen & im still very winded. Please excuse my typos because I'm on a heavy dose of pain meds, so I'm barley keeping my eyes open. I also been having hiccups frequently idk why. I do have numbness around my left nipple. Also I am tense around my neck and still struggle to raise my arms. Anywho I'm extremely so night night you guys!!????

I know it's been over a year but couple you please post an update? I met with Dr Colgrove but got a very cold vibe from him. Still might go with him though. I'm 5'4, 108lbs & 32A at most. I think I'll get Ideal saline, but Dr Colgrove said he can't put anything larger than 350cc in me bc I'm so tiny. Do your implants feel soft? Worried about how the saline will feel because I have no breast tissue.
Where was your incision? I want armpit but Colgrove prefers the underboob incision.
