TOTALLY FORGOT TO ADD THIS! Must've been the drug fog I was in :)
Day 5 Post Op Pics
Day 5 post op - August 10, 2014
Day 5 - I woke up a bit stiff and sore, nothing horrible. Some mornings I'm slower moving than others. Reaching up high for things is still difficult and uncomfortable. I still feel like my boobs are in my armpits. I can't WAIT to sleep on my side again!!! Sleeping elevated and on my back is getting old. All of my mom friends are asking a ton of questions about the surgery b/c they one day want to get them. It was still such a great decision and although they feel huge right now I think I will love the size eventually. It's going to take some time to get used to for sure, but I'm glad I didn't go smaller. Sizers felt much bigger and heavier on in the office than the actual implant after surgery. My worries prior to surgery when I voiced them to my doc were: 1. I want to be able to workout, and run 2. I don't want to look top heavy or fat b/c I'm small and have a tiny body frame 3. I want to be able to golf still and not have the "girls" get in the way haha 4. I didn't want to go through the whole ordeal of surgery and wish I had gone bigger. Most of the people I know that have implants all wish they had gone bigger. It's such a fine line between too big and too small. Picking out the size was the hardest part for me for sure. I ended up going with my gut, my doctor's suggestion, and my husband's preference. I am used to wearing sports bras all day long b/c I am so active with my kiddos. I'll be really happy when I can get into a normal sports bra that is more supportive rather than my soft surgical bra. I feel like this post was a total cluster **** and random rambling haha. Hope this all made sense. I am still shocked at how light the implants feel.
Provider Review
Let me start off by stating his office staff, and I mean EVERY single person I came into contact with was genuine, professional, friendly, and went over and above to make me feel comfortable and answer any and all questions. Dr. Caridi himself came highly recommended from a personal friend who had a few procedures done a year ago. Dr. Caridi was charismatic, professional, friendly, beyond knowledgeable, listened to my wants and helped me make the best decision for my breast augmentation. If you don't know a lot about his past he is board certified and gets the top pick of implants from Sientra. They only sell to board certified surgeons. He is very honest and real with his explanation of results. If you want great results, the patient must put in the "homework" and be dedicated to maintaining. This is an investment and you should listen to your surgeon - he knows best! His surgery center in his office is state of the art and impeccably clean and very inviting. Again, his staff is amazing. They all made me feel so at ease and are some of the nicest people I have ever had the privilege to work with. Post surgery pain was so very minimal. I was surprised at how gentle and careful he must have been b/c there was no bleeding and mainly just sore. I am beyond happy with my results and wish I had done this years ago. If you are looking for a surgeon full of talent, integrity, and overall knowledge.... Dr. Caridi is you surgeon look no further. He is a true artist. Thank you so very much Dr. Caridi and your whole office staff for making my experience incredible.
