Today’s the Day!!!

I still can’t believe that in less than 12 hours I’m finally doing it! After years of thinking and hesitating due to different reasons not to mention complaining how unhappy they look, my husband just called and scheduled me for BA and scar revision (to remove the excess tissue and loose skin in my armpits). I’m still undecided on the size and profile though my husband keeps on reminding me how good the 550cc looks during the pre-op. I wasn’t awake when God showered boobs as I always say so I’m not really sure what’s big...enough!lol

Happy healing! I'm interested in your stats, weight and height. I'm thinking about 475-550cc for my implant size but unsure if it'll be too big!
May 24, 2020
I'm 5'4" 150 and during my pre op my husband keeps on saying to go bigger so between 520-560cc. Before my surgery Doc said 560cc will look better on me and that I'll be happier. I actually just took a shower, took off my wrap and posted new pics. I don't think they look big and my family agrees to it still I'm happy!

I hope your recovery is safe and as painless as possible. Good for you to make yourself first! Thank you for giving us your stats as I am 5' 7" and 150 and looking at between 500cc and 600cc's.

Thank you for sharing your experience. Can I ask, how far out do they usually schedule the procedure after your consultation? I just want a rough estimate of the time frame they might schedule my procedure

Actually I had my consultation back in June 2018 for BA & TT but I hesitated to do it then (I decided to lose some weight & I was scared!). I didn't realize that they're open during the Covid so when my husband called 5/1 the soonest was 5/22 though we said that I'm only during BA, my armpits (which we discussed before too) and Kybella (chin). During the times I was there, I usually hear a month wait whenever they asked after their consultation. He's a really good doctor!

Thank you for the quick response! I'm just anxious, I guess. I've been contemplating on getting them done for over 3 years now, but I finally decided to just do it. I'm excited & I just want to get it over with already. So hopefully on my consultation July 2nd, I can possibly book an appt right away.

How's the pain after surgery?
June 7, 2020
I was like that before, as I said 2 yrs ago was my consultation and I had one back in 2015 I think and was always hesitating to jump in!;) It was my husband that finally made the call! I still keep on telling him that I feel guilty doing and spending this much for myself (he's the spender so I usually save/sacrifice to balance) though he'll keep on saying "you deserve it mahal!" And he feels bad whenever I buy VS bombshell bras (makes me feel good for a while but when I take it off.. nothing but skin!:( so I'll tell u first that I really wanna thank him for making the hardest decision for me! ;) I'm happy with our D-twins!

Surgery day (4pm) all I can remember was my nurse putting the IV then I wait to get marked/final size decision with Dr Bryson. He suggested 560cc since I'm unsure between 500-550..then they walked me to the OR and that's it...I can hear my husband's voice! Woke up before midnight and fudge my chest feels so sore and tight so pain meds to the rescue! Soft foods allowed. My favorite is that Diazepam for tightness/muscle relaxer! I got some bruises but not as much (left boobs). I really think that I would have felt better faster if I didn't have my armpits scar revision.
June 7, 2020
They told me to do the massage last week but my left armpit incision started to bleed. My husband's lazy to massage D-twins! So I'm still feeling the tightness especially in the morning..not that sore anymore! I just can't wait for our twins to love each other (get softer and closer for more cleavage:)

I'm glad you're enjoying them! I'm excited. Thank you for answering my questions. I really appreciate it. Hopefully I can get an appt in soon
June 8, 2020

This must be one of the longest hour I have to wait alone, due to social distancing my family can't stay and wait with me. Got emotional when they said bye and wished me luck! Well, this is it...wish me luck!!!

I had to go alone, as well. I was so scared, but it’s all over now and I’m pretty proud of myself. Good for you for making it happen!
May 27, 2020
Yup, I was sad and scared yet we did it girl!:) They may not be with me during surgery but my family's been pretty supportive and on top of anything I needed since so I'm thankful. In fact we just came from a friend's bday today and I took my whole family so it's not too obvious that I'm moving slow and to have an excuse to leave early too (pain's increasing already!). I prefer not to tell others yet, most just don't understand why that's why I'm glad we have RS to share with. Happy healing!

It's been a few hours since I got home and rested...ate jello and finally drink water (milkshake too!). My chest feels so tight but tolerable I guess! Just glad I made it okay! We made it ladies. Happy healing!
