It has been 16 days and I am feeling great! They...

Hello! This website helped me tremendously when I...
I finally made the decision to get the surgery done just a few months ago. I wanted to get it done before bikini season (and with enough time to make sure they would be healed and settled). Was only required to send some pictures to Dr. Hedden to make sure I was a good candidate before making the drive. He told me I was a good candidate for breast augmentation and I scheduled my surgery for March 26th, 2013. Dr. Hedden recommended that I do the Rice test for a few days to get an idea of what size I wanted.
Before my consultation I had in mind that I wanted to be a full C cup with 375-400CC Saline implants with the TUBA surgery (a scarless surgery through the belly button). My biggest thing was that I didn't want to have any visible scars and I wanted my breast to look natural. However, after my consult we decided that it would be best for me to go with 400CC silicone sub-muscular (under the muscle) and through the crease underneath my breast. I went with silicone because of my lack of breast tissue. This way I would avoid any rippling. The doctor also informed me that I had a very small case of tubular breasts and that he would be able to fix this with doing an incision underneath the breast. Although everything I went with was completely different than what I originally had in mind, I felt great about the decision because the doctor knew what he was doing. So one lesson learned was to keep an open mind going into this!
I had my surgery at 6:00am the morning following the consult. I had so many emotions - excited, nervous, anxious, and just ready for it to be over with! Before I knew it I was awake with my new boobs! There really wasn't much pain after the surgery, just soreness/tightness in my chest (I am sure the pain meds helped:) . I was just in and out of sleep the first few days and took it easy.
I am now day 6 post-op and feeling great. I still have some tightness in my chest, but I assume that is just part of the going under the muscle. They are still riding pretty high and are still pretty hard, but I am loving the way they are looking so far! It is crazy to think that I have nice big boobs now! My whole experience was so easy and I would do it again tomorrow! I definitely recommend breast augmentation if you are on the fence about it!
Will keep you all updated on my progress! :)
Provider Review
I had been researching doctors for a while and I came across Hedden plastic surgery in Birmingham, AL. I was a little skeptical at first because the price was so low ($3000 for saline and $3800 for silicone) and because I would have to travel out of state (from Atlanta). However after reading tons of reviews I felt good about my decision to use board certified Dr. Hedden. I called and learned that half of their patients traveled to see Dr. Hedden from out of state which made me feel even better. The way they treat out of state patients is in a 3 day process -so that the first day you have your consult, surgery on the second day, and follow-up on the third. They have an out of state coordinator who makes the whole process very easy.
