Honest

I had my 4 week post op check up today. He said that everything looked good and that I could stop wearing my bandeau now. I also had a rogue stitch that was poking out trimmed down. Things are going well and I'm hoping to eventually get photos up to share.

After losing upwards of 150 pounds, I lost all of the volume in my breasts, and was left with a ton of sagging skin. I decided after months of research to interview local doctors for an augmentation. I had an ideal image in my head that I was hoping to get achieved.

I interviewed multiple facilities over the course of 2 months. Most of them used the hospitals, which I was leery about given the current circumstances in the world, but I read that his facility also had an onsite surgery center. My time to interview Dr. Fox came and I was blown away by how honest he was with me. Other doctors had mentioned needing a lift, but one of his first words after seeing me was " You're 100% going to want a lift. It's almost necessary." We talked for a while, and he explained to me that my ideal outcome wasn't possible. My breast tissue quality combined with excess skin would not be able to support implants above the muscle, along with the glaring asymmetry that had been around for as long as I can remember. I settled for an initial size of 400 ccs in one, and 300 in the other.

I came back a couple of days later to try on other sizes, and the initial size I asked him about was also a no go. I was going far to big for what my body would be able to handle. He was honest with me in a straightforward and almost blunt way. Unlike the others I had interviewed. I then chose to go for 450 in one, and 355 in the other. The smaller size going into the larger breast, and the larger size in my smaller breast.

Surgery day came and I was incredibly nervous, but my worries started to ease after chatting with my nurse for a bit. I went under alarmingly fast and woke up continuing a conversation I had heard before going under with perfect clarity. After spending a short while in recovery I was dismissed to go home. I left with 355 ccs of silicone in my left breast, and 450 ccs of silicone in my right breast. They're high profile, round, smooth implants, placed in pockets under my muscle.

I am now 3 weeks post op, and one implant so far has started settling nicely into it's new home. My larger implant is being very stubborn, and I will be sure to discuss my concerns in greater length at my next appointment. I want to get a better grasp of why it's still so high up and taking it's time.

I want to make it very clear that Dr. Fox will tell you the honest truth regarding your situation. Even if it isn't the things you want to hear, he will tell you his honest and unfiltered opinion. He and his team have been a great help, and have always made me feel very welcome to ask questions at any time. The only reason I haven't given full stars is due to the fact that I know his ways of explaining things will not be to everyone's liking.

This is only the first stage of my journey, but I am confident that I am in the right hands with Dr. Fox and his team.
