2 weeks post op! Time flies~~
Hi!! It's been a while since my last update, huh? If you are reading this, I hope you're having a great day!
My first week was awful ngl... But mostly because of the medication. One of them had me feeling so bad that I actually had to go to an emergency at noon and stay there till 5 am. Turns out that I'm quite sensitive to that type of meds. I also had nausea and vomiting and when I was finally getting better I got pretty sick again (at exactly 1 week post op!). I was so weak and ended up losing a bit more than 3 kilos (I think it's around 7 pounds).
I had a rough 1st week but everything started getting better and I almost feel 100% myself. As for the boobies, they changed quite a lot; unfortunately, I don't have any pics from last week to show a comparison... They are a lot squishier and can quite move around, my skin is not as stretched anymore (the firsts days it was so stretched that I couldn't stand straight) and the scars are looking so much better. Also, the swelling went down pretty much completely, a big part bc of lymphatic drainage(not really sure if it's called like that in English). My nipples are very sensitive to the point it hurts even the slightest touch. One thing I noticed is my right one is way more behind compared to the left, still has that round look and it is not falling to the right place as my left is. It may be bc I do things mostly with my right hand or to the fact that this side is more bruised due to the surgeon trying the 280cc on the surgery... I don't really know the reason and I might be just worrying too much, it's just I'm really afraid of capsular contracture. Aside from that, everything's great so far! they do not feel heavy anymore and almost feel like my own. Also, did not lose sensation at all!
Still have to wear the surgical bra, till the 40 days mark. Tbh I didn't want to, but I trust my surgeon. Also, I really miss sleeping on the side and on my stomach, so I really am looking forward to completing 1-month post op lol

1 day after the surgery~~
Finally I can update! Yesterday my surgery was scheduled for 2 pm so I admitted to the hospital (it's an only plastics hospital!) around 1pm. The place is very luxurious looking and seemed to have the best equipment. I was welcomed to my room after some waiting and changed to the hospital's clothes, my doctor arrived and started marking me up very meticulously.
After some time, on my way to the OR(not really sure how it's called, I learned this term in Grey's Anatomy lol) everything looked very fancy including the room the surgery would happen. I met my anesthesiologist there and he was extra caring and made sure he explained everything was going on, which I appreciate. Till this part I wasn't nervous at all, and wasn't anxious, which is very unlike me hahaha I was just a bit scared, but everyone calmed me down.
Before the surgery could start, another plastic surgeon walked in and she started talking about me to my surgeon. I didn't catch what was the conversation about, but I did catch that she thought it would be better to go over my muscle. Both went outside and after a little while they came back and asked me to sit very straight. They were analyzing and she actually changed the initial plans my doctor made. They didn't tell me but I understood he would do something different. Long story short my anesthesiologist gave me the black out thingy (sorry, I forgot the name) and I was down really fast. It also wasn't general anesthesia.
The surgery went well and I woke up after maybe.... 2 hours after in the recovery room. I was kinda dizzy so I went back to sleep and then I woke up feeling better but I had some intense shivering as reaction of the anesthesia. When the nurseries saw I was fine they took me to my room and there I stayed till today. I slept there bc the plans were to do Unders so I already had paid the night there. I won't be detailed about the after care bc no one is probably going to do here so...
My mom was there to help me(thank goodness! I wouldn't be able to do all of this by myself) and she told
me the "last minute" changes the doctor did. What I was amazed is the fact he could fit 260 cc each when the size he thought it would be was 220cc. The night went quite well, even thou I couldn't sleep that much. I wasn't in any pain at all, just some discomfort. Also, this may be tmi but bc I was on the IV I had to constantly pee lol. I also took antibiotics through that. In any moment I felt nauseous, nor felt pain. It's more like a discomfort similar to when you do exercises and get sore. The only pain I feel right now is on the areas where my incisions are and when I lay down and get up. Laying down is pretty painful (but not something that can't be managed) and makes my back hurt.
Around 1p.m today my doctor came to check on me so I could go home. He took my bandages off and it was a very weird feeling. My breasts look very natural already and I can't wait to see then drop and fluff. He also explained a lot of things and said that he tried the 280cc on me but the implants were too big for my narrow frame so they were on my back lmao which wasn't pretty so he had to stick with the 260cc implants. One side of my chest is higher than the other(it's a hereditary thing) so he said that he tried his best to make both look the same. He also said that the incision could be done with a whole cm less than he usually do bc I'm small and so my implants. The dr. wasn't very happy when he discovered I didn't get up any time since the surgery, so when explaining the after care he emphasized that walking is very important. I also have to use the surgical bra 24 hours, the compression socks 24h for three days, I can't take showers for 3 days bc i cant wet the incision site and can't eat seafood, pork and heavy foods.
I am now casually walking around my home and for some reason my appetite is crazy right now lol! I feel hungry all the time. Everything has been going smoothly, even this being the first post op day( I know it's different for everyone but i hope this is really the "worst" so the other days will be so much better) I'll try to update constantly so petite women like me can share our experiences together.
Sorry for the long post!!

Petite, 5'3, 103 lbs , 32AA - Silicone HP Unders
For a while I have been seeing your reviews and now I can finally post my own! For many years i've wanted to do this and in one week my dream is going to happen!
I'm around 5'3 and 103lbs (not
familiar with us measurements, sorry!) and i think I'm a 32AA, according to charts.
I'm not really sure about the size yet but it's probably around 220ccs to 250cc since i'm very narrow. The Dr. said he'll be choosing the best option on the day of my surgery, so I can have a natural and pretty result.
As you can see, I really don't have much to work it, so as soon as he saw my nonexistent breasts he said I should go with HP.
Can't wait to see the results (even though I know patience is the key haha), and how it'll boost my confidence!! Super excited!????

Provider Review
Paulo H. Paludo
Everything is just so great. He is very professional and at the same time so caring. He has a very bubbly personality which gives a certain sense of comfort. He has a very good price, his staff is very professional and friendly and his work is terrific. Very meticulous and cares for the little details, and seems to want only the best for his patients, enhancing their looks in a natural way. Keeps in touch with the patient through phone, answers everything you ask, never had any problem at all. I really recommend him to anyone who asks me, and so do my family and friends. (Idk if he speaks english though, probably does)
