Breast Augmentation: 41yr Old, 120lb, (450cc) - Bellevue, WA

41yr old, 120lb, (450cc) Please refer my Dr review for a more detailed review on Dr. Gottlieb and staff.
Had procedure 7 months after consultation. Was always planning to do it but what finally made me pull the trigger was going to Vegas (the happiest place on earth) this spring and wearing a very padded swimsuit swimsuit and having to 'squeeze' out a ton of water when I got out of the pool. That was enough of that and I knew where I wanted to go. Everything from pre-op to post went very well- am 7 wks post op right now and feel like things are still progressing well.

Had the procedure on a Thursday and back to work on Monday, though was very tired for 2 weeks which may have been helped if I had I stayed home a couple of more days. I work on a computer but have 10 hr days FWIW. Scars looked decent after 3 wks and more faded by 6 weeks- I'm not disciplined enough for scar cream so this is natural healing. : )

Not going to lie- it' (healing process) is uncomfortable. I used pain med 24x7 for 3 days then just at night for the next 2 wks. Stay true to the bra wearing schedule and things will feel and go better- ie wear the 'strap'. The weird part is the return of sensations- nipple sensitivity for the first 3 weeks is the worst. Off and on very tender but it does get better!

I haven't fluctuated much on my weight in 10 years but I had a little shock when I stepped on the scale after surgery. Don't forget that these suckers are going to add a pound or two to your total! It's a little mental adjustment if you are used to seeing the same number on the scale.
