I really believe it has helped boost my confidence and self worth
3 weeks post op
One seems to be dropping and fluffing quiet nicely
The other seems to be a little behind but read that can be normal and trying to trust he process. I do have a follow up appointment 8th of January to ask some questions to hopefully reduce whatever anxiety I may be developing.
I am slightly concerned about the breast that Is not dropping and fluffing as the scar seems to be a bit “tighter” and has a noticeable difference to the other but hoping it doesn’t affect the outcome to much where I will consider a second survey. Will update after appointment. Otherwise I am still quiet please with how smooth this transition has been ! Still way more confident then I was before surgery and I love feeling feminine!

Exactly What I Had Hoped for
I decided to have my breast augmentation, to improve myself esteem and make me feel more like a woman as I had not developed what is considered normal breast tissue (tuberous breasts). I have had a lot of difficulties with my body image and confidence growing up due to a lot of repeated traumas in my life and this was one of my first decisions I have ever made for myself and myself alone to try and change my life for the better. Increasing my confidence has been extremely helpful for me to be able to do this it has been another big leap for me to become the person I want to be and take control of what I do with my body. Be comfortable with the idea that it is my body and that no one else can make those decision ns for me.
My experience with Dr. Ellis Choy and his staff has been very smooth, relaxed, and efficient while providing quality care. I felt as though I was listened to and they did their best to meet my wants but also helped me be realistic about the outcome of my surgery due to the tuberous breasts. I often fantasized about the breasts I would ideally want but learned that it may not be realistic because of how my body is built and how my breasts had developed which Dr. Ellis Choy explained and showed me examples to help me understand why and I am extremely impressed considering I only got implants with no lift. All I wanted was some shape volume and less then four fingers gap between breasts and was not disappointed. The staff are unbelievably lovely at the day hospital and supporting. I did have one staff member hand over that I had urinated and been explained how to take the medication when I hadn’t gone to the bathroom and hadn’t been told about the medication and I am grateful the other nurse asked and gave me the information I needed and made sure I was ready to leave the hospital safely. My recommendation is just ask anything if your unsure.
Going through with this surgery has helped me feel like I have some sort of control in my life. That my body is MY body and I can say no. I don’t have to do things to please others. Making this decision has already made a huge impact on my life in the aspect that I do feel more feminine. I feel less anxious about buying clothes and new bras because they might actually fit me now! I really believe it has helped boost my confidence and self worth with myself and my body knowing I did one thing that will help me feel better about myself. I reached one goal and I know I can reach many more! Please use the ice! Take the pain medication as needed. Be comfortable and take it easy. Rest while you can because you may feel absolutely wonderful (in my experience) just as Dr. Ellis Choy said to me in my post op appointment: it isn’t a hair cut and need to do some self care to get the best outcome possible! Listen to your surgeons they know what they’re doing. Be realistic and be ready for the change.

So excited to see how they go over the next couple weeks/months
