Before BA 02.09.21

This was my before, I had been thinking of getting a BA long before now. I decided I would wait till after kids. Fast forward some years & 2 kids later the day had finally come for me! This was me on the day of my surgery, I was beyond excited and also very nervous since it was my 1st surgery ever! Thankfully I had my very supportive husband at my side.

At my consultation, Dr had recommended 550-600, and a lift for both breasts with my Right being the main reason for the lift, since there was a high chance of having a downward-facing nipple & I did not want to risk that. So we had agreed on 550 HP Saline, Under the muscle, with lifts.

Surgery day came and I said I wanted 650! Because I wanted to be on the bigger end of things! He said that would still be a great fit for my body. But he also changed his mind before going in and said he was doing one lift only on the right! I felt Very very nervous about that because of having an uneven result, but he reassured me that everything would be ok & brought me back to confidence. I went in and came out at what felt like the blink of an eye! I was so scared and it was over before I could think more about it!

Day of

Val051025March 13, 2021

Everything seemed so fast. I just remember I woke up FREEZING & extremely emotional! Husband wasn’t allowed in which was very hard for me! I felt like I needed him to be there for me, so I was glad to see him come in once i was done! I was very drowsy and felt like I had just opened my eyes when I was already getting helped into my truck, I was so scared because after waking up, my eyes were so blurry I couldn’t see. I thought I went blind, and was then told it was a possible side effect of the anesthesia & that it should pass! The ride home was about 2 hrs, I slept through most of it & felt no pain. I did feel the “elephant on the chest” feeling but nothing too bad. Getting home, my husband made me a soup, i took my pain meds & fell asleep pretty much the rest of te day.

Wish pics

These were my wish pics, dr is extremely busy so I do feel that the consults and visits were so fast I did not get asked to see what i was aiming for, & I was a little disappointed by that. Because the 1st time i was able to see my breast postOp I cried & cried because they were so badly bruised & just looked hideous over all. I also thought I had went way too big they just did not look good on my body, I was feeling deep regret and not good about myself. luckily at about a week they started looking somewhat ok and I held onto hope. I was off pain meds & switched to acetaminophen by day 4.
