Dr Perron was recommended by my microblading technician & he was the 2nd consult I had in Calgary for breast augmentation. I just want to say from start to finish, they were warm, welcoming and professional. I initially met with Lana & she was so good! explaining everything in detail, answering all my questions & at no time did I feel rushed or like a $ sign. I met Dr. Perron briefly during my initial consult & I liked his chill vibe straight away. I also appreciated his many years of experience & his sense of humor. It was a great experience & I decided I would have my procedure done with him.
At the time I booked for March 2nd/20 (today).
I did alot of research on line & about Dr. Perron prior to & felt good about my decision. I was having concerns about my implant size recommended (304cc's / moderate profile gummy) & was worried they may be too small. I went in for another consult with Lana & again, she was amazing & patient!
I felt very informed & was pumped for my surgery.
Note: the 1st consult I had with a different surgeon had quoted me $18,000 for a lift & implant ...although he came highly recommended, I didn't feel comfortable during the consult (a little impersonal) & felt very much like a $$ sign. He also suggested gummies 375cc's which is too big for my frame in my opinion.

Anyway, point is get a second opinion!

Today I had my surgery with Dr Wayne Perron & nurse Carol (instantly liked her!) - Carol sat with me prior to surgery & gave me all the details especially what to expect day to day. She was kind, funny, patient and caring awesome care!
My Anasteologist was awesome too!

I was given a percocet and after 2 deep breaths in the mask, I was out cold! Woke up, all tucked in & cared for - I was given some fruit & tea (much needed as I was dehydrated from not having any liquids per surgery instructions)... I felt disoriented upon waking/dopey and nauseated a bit. Carol suggested I take a nap & that really helped.

My chest feels tight, like an extreme chest workout - on a scale of 1-10, I'd say a 4 for discomfort. I had my special sexy bra on to hold me in place lol and my chest feels hard to the touch. The implant went I through the areola. They look big! but I know that's just the initial stage. I'm very very happy with my experience so far. Been taking my antibiotics as prescribed, resting & getting help from my boyfriend for things I can't do.
I've included photos of before/after

Note: I was going to go a size bigger that 304cc because I thought I'd lose some volume being under the muscle... that's a myth y'all lol

They anticipate I'll be a d cup (prior to surgery 34b with gapping in the upper part of the bra so I'd say between a 34 A & small B

Note: they are straight up unattractive right now, but I'm looking forward to the drop & fluff stages

I’m 2 weeks out and my surgeon recommended Advil or Celebrex for my post recovery. I already take Celebrex. It’s for inflammation.

You may want to visit the facebook group Breast Implant Illness & Healing by Nicole. After unexplained symptoms starting within a year of getting breast implants my health fell apart. It took me 20 years to see how implants ruined my life. The good news is they can be removed ( $10k for proper explant ). I hate to be a bummer but you should save some money because they are not permanent and the gummie ones seem to be the worst. Sorry. I just want you to be informed if you start getting sick ( weight gain, rashes, joint pain, severe fatigue.)

Nipple sensation is back and swelling in breast has subsided a bit but fluid has moved down into my abdomen. I was warned about this and I look a bit prego lol. dark bruising under the breast. Started my stretches yesterday as instructed to help prevent capsular contractor and the support bra is super uncomfortable but necessary and was able to drive my truck today. I had my shower yesterday and hair washing was a slow process.
my nipples aren't pointing down as much anymore
Been visualizing my healing process at night as a form of meditation. still sleeping propped up on pillows and taking light walks in the evening to keep from getting blood clots and reduce swelling.
Drinking LOTS of water too

What stretches were you told to do to prevent capsular contraction?

I was told to stand in a doorway & use doorframe to gently stretch chest muscles, slowly increasing range of motion day to day

Did your Doctor recommend a lift? I want the same size implants but my doctor wants to do over muscle to raise my nipples and he even suggested moving one nipple up to make them more perky.
But I would rather not have it.
We are the same height and weight.

my ps said I didnt need a lift - that when the implant drops into place, my nipple will lift upward more.
March 9, 2020
Curious to see how they drop. I have a very similar body type to yours (breastfed kids included) and have been contemplating an augmentation for while now
