27 Years Old, No Kids, 5'7", 157lbs, 470cc with Lollipop Lift - Birmingham, AL

I had my procedure yesterday and I felt compelled to write a review after all the time I spent on this website and how much it helped me. I am 27 years old, active female and I've had saggy breasts since before I could remember. After years of wanting larger breasts I met with a local PS and found out I also needed a lift. However I didn't really like that PS so I can went in search of a new one. After several
Co workers recommendations I went to Dr. hedden and knew he was the surgeon for me. He was patient, knowledgeable and very down to earth.

I arrived at his office at 7:30 am the morning of surgery and about 9:30 I was back in the OR suite. The pre-op nurse and CRNA were wonderful! I remember laying on the OR table and waking up in PACU. The PACU nurse wasn't all that great, she seemed very impatient and not compassionate at all. I got some sprite to drink and got in the wheelchair and was on my way back to the hotel. My boyfriend was wonderful with making sure I got all my meds right on time and nitro cream on my nipples every 4 hours as instructed. Now as we've just about completed post op day 1 I'm honestly feeling great. A little sore and kind of slow doing things but much better than I thought I would be.

All in all, I love my new girls(:

So here we are, post op day 3. I slept in the bed since I got them done which is fine, until it was time to roll over which hurts. Getting out of bed is pretty painful and I need help to do that, but once I'm up and moving I feel good. I take Valium for muscle spasms when I first wake up and Tylenol through out the day. I got out of the house yesterday for a little bit and that felt good. My right breast is a lot more sore than my left, but I'm right handed and stubborn so I've probably been doing too much. Planning to take it easy today. I got a shower last night with a little bit of help and I have stopped using the nitro. PS said only to use it now if I notice my nipples turn blue, thankfully they still look normal. All in all, things are still going well. I still cant get over how much I love them (:

Just about a week post op.. here's some progress pics. I'm pretty much back to normal activity but at the end of the day and when I get out of bed in the mornings, I do feel pretty sore. I'm stubborn so I'm probably just doing too much. Being a nurse, we make the worst patients. Only complaint today is the itching. Oh my, it itches like crazy sometimes. And occasionally I'll get sharp pains in my nipples, but I'm glad to still have feeling in them so I'll take it. I'm ready for the steri strips to come off so I can see the scars. Hopefully next week they'll start coming off. I use a cool blow dryer on them after the shower just to dry them really good (something I tell my patients so I decided to practice what I preach lol) so these steri strips will probably stay on the whole 3 weeks. Oh well, whatever is best for the girls (:
