I had my consultation with Dr. Hedden on Tuesday Nov 8, 2016 and am scheduled for the procedure on Thursday Nov 17, 2016. I am 30 next month and have breastfed two babies. Even before children I always thought about having a boob job but especially after having children. I am a small B and hopefully will end up a D using 450cc's of saline under the muscle. Dr. Hedden was very knowledgeable and straight to the point. I feel very confident in his ability to give me what I want.

Surgery Day
I had my surgery yesterday 11/17/16. I arrived at 6:15 and I was laying on the operating table by 7am. All the nurses, CRNA and Dr. Hedden were very sweet and made me feel completely at ease. When I woke in recovery I immediately could feel the tightness in my chest. My advise for someone would be to either ask your doctor if you can get your prescriptions a day early and/or get someone to take them and get them filled while they are waiting. The time period between leaving the facility and my husband get the RX filled was miserable. I have a pretty high pain tolerance and I was hitting my threshold. Not just due to my chest but my back as well. As soon as I got the meds in me I have been great! Of course I'm sore and uncomfortable but it's bearable. Just make sure you keep up with your meds. Another thing that helped was ice packs on the sides and top of my breast and heating pad on my back. I am extremely happy with the way they are looking! Of course they need to drop and fluff but the initial look makes me very happy and excited about how they will end up. I got my incision in the crease under my breast and even now you can't see it unless you look under. I'm headed to my post op appointment now so I will update soon.

Curious why you chose saline? Was it recommended or a decision you made on your own.

I chose saline because everyone I have talked to had saline. Also, if for some reason it gets a leak you know immediately and the saline will not harm your body. If something happens to silicon it can be toxic and the only way to tell is to get an MRI which insurance will not cover. And saline is cheaper. All those factors influenced my choice

Congratulations, my pain was also bad for the first few hours. Also keep taking pics because the first two weeks it was crazy how many changes were happening. They look nice so far:)
