I’ve been lurking on this app for some time now and been unhappy with my boobs since I had my last child almost 3 years ago. I went from a size 32C to 32A after breast feeding. I have thought about how unhappy I am about my boobs every day since. Last week I had my consultation and knew that my dr would be perfect. Straight away he made me feel at ease.
During my consultation I tried on a few different implants and decided to go with the 415cc (dr recommend this was the biggest size I should go)
After looking at ALOT of your guys’ stories I’m really hoping to speak with my dr to see if a 450cc is possible. I’m worried I’ll wish I had gone a little bigger.
My pre-op is booked for Feb 15th 2019 and surgery is Feb 25th 2019

Hey! I actually ended up changing the date of my surgery since my kids were going to my MIL, I figured it would be better to have it done while they’re away for 4 weeks so I can actually rest! I am currently 1day post op. I’ll post some photos and updates

Finally updating!!

hazaleb
I’ve been terrible at updating but busy reading everyone’s stories..
So after my initial consultation back in Nov 2018, I had scheduled my surgery for Feb 25th. Well, usually my kids spend time with their Mimi for a month here and there throughout the year (I know, lucky right!) she had asked if they could spend the month of Easter with her and their nephews so I figured it would be the best time to have my surgery.
I was able to reschedule with no issues, I have to say, my PS was amazing along with his office staff. Made me feel right at home!
Anyway, I may have previously mentioned, after deciding with the 415cc moderate profile and reviewing everyone’s stories, I just knew I was going to be unsatisfied with the results and would have the ultimate boob greed!
I had my pre op March 27th, Jennie was absolutely amazing, she understood exactly what I wanted and we decided to go with the 475cc mentor Xtra high profile (I know big difference, but what’s the point in going for it if you’re not going to go for it!)
I was given my prescriptions and some information on what to expect and pretty much left counting down my days until my surgery. I got nervous on the final days creeping up, more so about the anesthesia.
Adding a few before pics.

My surgery was yesterday!!

hazaleb
I was a little nervous yesterday going in in and out of sleep the night before probably a mix of excitement and nerves.

I left around 6:30am to get to my appointment for 7:30. BA surgery was scheduled for 8:30am.

Once I was called into the pre op room (I think her name was Lauren) Gave me a gown to put on after getting undressed and asked me to pee in a cup.. that took a while because I definitely had 3 nervous pees before I left the house and totally forgot I had to pee in a cup.

She took my blood pressure and fixed my IV, she was great and kept me excited, hubby was with me keeping busy with his homework.

The anesthesiologists came in to talk to me and introduce him self, just to reassure he would be there the entire time monitoring me while I was under (he was also great)

A little while later Dr Mantooth came in to go over a few final things and marked me up.

After being there about 45 mins - 1hr the anesthesiologist came back to walk me into the surgery room, I hopped on the bed and nearly fell off LOL (great start) and then all the lovely ladies tucked me in all cozy.

I remember laying in the bed thinking “oh [RS bleep]” this is finally it. I think the anesthesiologist could tell I was nervous, I remember him saying, Hey Hazal, can you make me a promise? I asked him, a promise? What promise? He said “promise me when you wake up that you smile” I said I’ll try but I can’t promise you.. he said “well if you don’t, Lauren will give you one of these (and tapped his elbow with the palm of his hand) LOL, I said.. well which ones Lauren (still not 100% sure if that’s her name lol) everyone laughed and my nerves had calmed.

The anesthesiologist told me to take in 3 deep breathes, I remember taking 2 and then woke up to someone putting my leggings on lol. I was so confused and I was crying. Honestly I had no idea what was going on, why I was crying I was just confused and forgot all about my surgery lol. Then I remember seeing my hubby recording me and the nurse trying to talk to me, I watched the video and I just look completely out of it lol.

Anyway 1st day post op went by pretty quickly felt tightness and pressure, I was trying to keep my self up and moving so I didn’t stiffen but all in all, I was pretty drugged up to think about the pain.
