29 Yr Old Mother of 2- Lift with Silicone Gel Implant - Boston, MA

Thank you nathalia! Your surgery still scheduled for tomorrow?!

Yes, and I'm freaking out!

Don't. Just imagine your going to the spa. I swear your going to be like that's it? :) Good luck!!!!!! Positive happy thoughts

Thank you! I'm on my way there right now.

Yay. Your going to do Awesome.! Try and stay calm. It'll be over you know it :) let me know how it goes. XOXO

I think I was a lot calmer today than I've been the last couple weeks and days. The surgeon and nurses said everything went really well. The part for me that was the worst was putting an IV in since I hate needles and they could find a good vein in the inside part of my elbow so they had to put it in my hand. All in all I'm feeling pretty good.

That's awesome! I've been thinking of you! I was the same was was a wreck weeks before then the day of I was calm. So glad it's over for you

Now it's time to be patient with the slow progress!

Yes. Be patient. Relax, don't overdue yourself. Take vitamin C. That helps with scarring! You might not like them until 2months or so. Good luck and keep me updated!!!

Thanks for the advice!

My right nipple is a tiny bit sensitive still. Dr said it should go away bc I still have feeling in it. The same breast has a little bit of numbness around the the breast area (the left area close to nipple) but it has already been improving in 3 months. Good luck. It's a peice of cake. The worrying and preparing in the worst!!

That hurt quite a bit! I know I'm such a baby with needles! ;)

Thank you and I'm so sorry your mom is t being supportive. I have 2 kids as well. Ages 3 and 7. Surgery was on a Thursday, my husband took off Thursday and Friday. He was home for the weekend. Went back to work on Monday. My mom came over Monday and Tuesday but I really didn't need her. It depends on if you would have to take care of both your kids all day alone on Monday and Tuesday? I had someone watching my boys (oldest was in school and my cousin took my youngest to play w her youngest for the day) it will be a little hard to pick up the baby. It took me about 2 weeks to be able to fully get my self up from a lying on my back position. It wasn't super painful just sore feeling. The whole experience really wasn't bad and completely worth it!

You can definitely get around to pee and cook after a few days!

Good info. Yeah my baby is 5 months and daughter isn't in school so id be home with the kids. I'm thinking if I do it right before Christmas he'll be home a lot more that week and New Years too, if I just take it easy and try to just lay around with the baby and have him sit on my lap in my bed and have my husband carry him up and down the stairs and do the grocery shopping , does that sound doable? Do you think I'm getting in way over my head to have two little kids and probably not a whole lot of help, or maybe doable with a little help from my husbands mom ( she is deal with breast cancer right now though and startingn radiation do she doesn't know how she will feel). I want this fine NOW! Just sucks having to rely on others for help, especially with the kids. My husband runs his own business so although he works from home and will be able to help some , he def can't be away from his computer for two weeks. I'm hoping to schedule it asap

How about getting a bit of help from a babysitter? They rates aren't very high and it's someone you can count on.

You would Def not need him for 2 weeks! I would say if he's home with you for 4-5 days PO you will be fine. It's really not bad at all. The day of I was walking around. Up and down stairs. Just drowsy from the anesthesia. I don't blame you for wanting to do it now. I did the same I books it ASAP. I wanted it so bad and didn't want to back out. Lol. I would think by day 4 or 5 you can pick your baby up. You'll be sore, just do it slowly. I can honestly tell you it wasn't painful. Just sore like you did a million push ups. Totally doable!

Awesome, thanks! Totally appreciate and that makes me even more excited to do it soon! Not sure if I would feel comfortable using a babysitter or not, my kids are so small I've never left them with someone that isn't mine or my husbands parents or one of my best friends. Thanks for all help! Hope you get to enjoy your new body!

They come in the shapes. Called oleeva vertical mastopexy shapes. http://www.silon.com/buy-now/oleeva-scar-shapes/

Thank you :)

thank you!! :)

thank you. I LOVE the silicone sheets so far, Super comfortable and easy to clean, still sticky after cleaning. I just started using them so i can't say if they are fading the scars yet. BUT reviews on them are great!!!

Thank you!!! :)

I haven't noticed a difference yet. But it's still to early. Your supposed to use it everyday for 6 months (I think it's 6 months) and wash them once a day. I don't always wash them everyday. A few times I didn't wear them at all I also use scar guard which also has great reviews. And a lot cheaper! My Ps didn't recommend the sheets but I had purchased them before surgery bc all the great reviews. PS said they weren't needed and I could just use scar guard. But since I had already bought them I will be using them. I would to be worries about the scarring. Bc if you think about it only a select few (or less) will actually see you with nothing on. VS everyone who sees you in clothes/bra/bathing suit. It's totally worth it. They also have lasers to help reduce scarring. My PS does that free!
