Breast Augmentation at 36
I'm 36 years old and had breastfeed 2 kids. I had lost all volume to my breasts and hated looking in the mirror. I wanted to post my story because I felt there are not a lot of before pictures like mine. Small, saggy, and sad. I ended up with smooth round high profile silicone 485ml implants, incision under the breast, and couldn't be happier.
Dr Brown was my second consultation out of three I had made. After I met him I cancelled my third. There was no doubt in my mind that he was the one. He was focused on what I wanted and he is full of energy and enthusiasm for what he does. He asked me to provide photos of the look I was going for. He used these vision board photos in surgery as a reference so he could get my look just right. I was borderline needing a lift, but knew I didn't want one. Dr Brown and I agreed that with the look I was going for, he would order a range of sizes between 350-405ml knowing that he would make the final decision in surgery to get my look as close to my vision board pictures as possible. I trusted him to make the call. When I came out of surgery he told me my body "swallowed up the implants", that they looked way too small when they were in my body and he used 485ml instead. I was a little shocked, but trusted him. They seemed really big at first, but by my 6 week follow up, and especially by 3 months I could see he made the right call. My breasts look very similar to my vision board pictures, fit my body, don't seem too big or to small. I love them.
Alternatively, my first doctor consultation did not ask me what I wanted. He took measurements, opened a little book that, according to the measurements he took, told me I should get 325-350ml. He also said he wanted to lower my crease to make my nipple appears higher. That really freaked me out because of the risk I had read of developing a double bubble when lowering the crease. I know now that if I had gone with this doctor he would have unnecessary lowered my crease and given me way to small of implants. I would have absolutely been disappointed.
Another reason I wanted to write a review is to mention that I had post anesthesia depression. It started on day 2 or 3 and lasted for about a week. I'm not normally prone to depression and in all my pre-op reading, I hadn't read that this is something that can happen after plastic surgery. It turns out it is pretty common. I just felt really sad for a while, and then it passed.
I experienced pain for a while after surgery, but it was managed well by alternating Vicodin and Valium.
I had no problems with wound healing. At 3 months now my scars are starting to fade.
I'm so glad I did this. I love how my breast look and I'm so happy I found the right doctor. I'm so happy Dr Brown made the decision he did in surgery, even though it went outside of the original plan. He had to confidence and experience to give me what he knew I wanted.
