35, No Kids, Asymmetry and Stretch Marks Since Puberty - Auburn, AL

Ive wanted to raven out my boobs and somehow get rid of the stretch marks since I was a teenager. Eventually I came to terms with the fact that I will never get the stretch makes to go away. But the asymmetry was always embarrassing bc one nipple when hard was always lower :( I started reading about surgery 10 years ago. About 5 I started really asking questions to those who have had it done. About three years ago I started going to consultations all over the country as I traveled. Some dr's said I'd need a lift. Others said I'm borderline and a few said a lift wasn't needed bc an implant alone will give a slight lift. I wanted a very natural look. So with the new silicone shaped implants I was pretty excited I waited. I found my dr in the most unexpected place. I've been to dr's in Seattle (where braden Striddee was my top choose!!) and CA and some in Boston and a couple in Atlanta. Every time I met with someone I learned something new. So, shop around and don't feel bad telling a dr you don't like a look of someone I their own look book!!! They will explain what a patients goal is. What I decided was that even though a Dr can do what you ask, it's best to go with one who's creative eye is the same as yours :) and I found my dr in Auburn, AL!! Seing I now live in GA it was great he's only an hour away.

I met him for the consultation and his nurse Linda and office manager Beth were both so kind an patient!! Dr. Aquadro couldn't have been any sweeter. He really took the time to hear me ramble on about likes and dislikes. He showed me in digital images what each different type of implant would look like (pretty cool!! I'll add a screen shot here but it's way cooler on the computer where you can rotate it all around).
I booked right away, had the mandatory mammogram, and then was all ready for surgery. Went with R-320cc and L-370cc (bc of one being naturally bigger). dr aquadro was nice enough to order one size down too bc I was scared of being too big bc I'm pretty active. But the 270 wasn't big enough to fill the skin so he ended up doing 320/370. I let him make the decision in surgery.

Surgery day:
I SO wish I booked early morning!! If you have a hard time not eating book early!! Everyone at Eastern Alabama Medical Center was so kind and really make me feel safe :) I was knocked out so quick and next think I knew I was waking up :) the pain was more like intense soreness in my upper peck muscles then pain. I'm pretty sure Dr Aquadro came and talked to me but honestly I don't remember lol!! The nausea sucked but the nurse have me pain meds and apple juice and that went away in about 90 mins to an hour. Once home and laying down still, no pain. Only pain is when you move around. Honestly, expect the worst and trust me it's not that bad and there are ways to minimize it like not moving ;)

It's been 26 hours since my surgery. Boobs are very stiff and high. But from all I've read they will soften and drop. I took a peace today bc Linda, Dr Aquadro's nurse called to check up on me asked me to send a pic since I couldn't get a ride to the post op today.

Ok first off, I'm totally laughing at all the spelling and grammar errors in y days post lol!!! The meds are a pretty nice cocktail that's for sure ;)

Last night I tried to cut my pain meds in half and hopefully not take it this morn with the goal of driving to post op myself. Ummmm, totally stupid!! I took pain meds the moment I woke and called a friend to take me. Dr says all looks good, he assured me they will settle so that bump up top will no longer be there in a month. He asked me not to massage bc I have textured shaped implants and although it'll say to massage right away I need my skin to bind to the implant so it doesn't rotate.

The soreness is still present, no doubt! But I'm getting used to it so it's not so bad. I took a shower and the warm water really felt great relaxing the chest muscles :)

That's it for now, I'll update in a couple weeks when I get stitches out :)

Last night I took the muscle relaxer and 4 Advil. When I woke this morn I was more sore than usual but grabbed an ice back and took 4 Advil. It's feeling better. I'll take a muscle relaxer again in a bit. Trying to space them longer so I don't run out. Also just went to the bathroom for the first time this morn but just a little. My tummy looks pregnant :/ totally backed up so Gotta just keep drinking that smooth move tea!! :/
