I was back to work on day three - One year post op and I’m in love

I had my surgery 6/25/2021, with Dr. Guerra. I had done a lot of research, reviews, before and after photos and cost, and Dr. Guerra kept coming up. He had tons of great reviews and his before and after photos were amazing. He’s also double board certified and received lots of awards. I scheduled my consult with him in May and had a list of questions to ask him. When I arrived, the staff were very friendly, offered me some water then after a few minutes they called me to the back. I was speaking with one of the office girls for a bit, she was asking me what look I desired, and what my goal size was, and gave me some info to read over. I changed into a robe top and she escorted me to a different room and we went and took my before pics. We went back into the room and Dr. Guerra joined us. He was really nice, we went over a lot of details, I asked him all my questions, he answered them all. He wanted to make sure that I knew about capsular contracture, that it was rare, but it’s a possibility, let him know that I’d already known about it. He does lots of procedures, but mainly breasts, he told me he does over 400 breast augmentation annually. I was really happy with how I felt, I wasn’t stressed or nervous, but I was EXCITED!! I got to try on the sizers and I had told them I didn’t want a fake lol, I wanted them to look natural on me. I’m 5’6, 140lbs and my BWD is 13. The Dr. said the biggest I could go is 450/L & 465/R, my right breast was a little smaller than the left, so I got a little bigger off an implant to compensate for it. I paid my deposit at that moment and scheduled surgery for the soonest appointment available, which was exactly one month from my consult. I had to have bloodwork and a mammogram done before I could have surgery. Surgery day came around, after what felt like forever .. wore some comfy, easy to slip on pj’s and sandals. I saw the dr, he marked my chest up and took me to the back for surgery, at this point, I was nervous .. what if I don’t wake up, what if this or that happens ???? About an hour and a half later I woke up, didn’t have pain, but felt a little bit of pressure. I had on a sports bra and so I couldn’t see my boobies right away. My boyfriend drove me home and he was so sweet and took good care of me the first couple days, he’s an RN, so I was spoiled. I didn’t have a lot of pain, it was uncomfortable the amount of pressure I felt in my chest, but not so much painful. I saw my boobs on day two and boy were they hideous! They were squished and misshapen, my nipples looked like they were going to explode and they pointed downward. They looked square/rectangular, so so ugly. After about two weeks they looked more like boobs. I was back to work on day three. Fast forward to one year post op and I’m in love . I feel so much more confident that my deflated a/b cup self has actual cleavage after my kids and life left me boobless. My scars healed very well, you can hardly even see them. I did get a few stretch marks, but that’s ok with me, they aren’t terrible looking and they’re pretty faint. Would I recommend Dr. Guerra, yes I most definitely would. He’s a great Dr. And his work is fantastic.
