Amazing Experience

My experience with Dr. Heck was amazing. I started my journey on YouTube looking at women who either had a lift, augmentation, or both. My journey led me to real self to find my surgeon. After extensive research I decided to consult with 3 doctors. Dr. Heck of Columbus, Dr. Donaldson of Columbus, and Dr. Ary Krau of Florida. Dr. Heck made me the most comfortable in the goals I wanted. So I went to office they took picks of my breast and then we discussed what made the most sense. Dr. Heck recommended just a lift, because I didn’t want bigger. From that appointment, I found myself stuck between a lift or a lift and augmentation. So I did a second consult with Donaldson and he recommended the same thing a lift. Still confused I did a virtual appointment with Krau and paid a deposit, but after a month of continued research on Heck, I called them and made a deposit.
Things to know when booking: your down payment is not refundable, you have to pay the anesthesiologist, and surgery center separate. I had my surgery scheduled for 2/24/21. The process before was to get a physical and blood work which I had sent to the office. I had to pay the surgery center fee on my own as well. I had to get 4 prescriptions filled before surgery. I also had to stop vitamins and meds 30 days before. After that I just waited and had a Covid test done days before the surgery. Day of the surgery I got there early after a call from the surgery center telling me to come in. Everyone was super friendly and easy to get along with. They put me in a gown, had me sanitize my chest, and then an IV was started. They also put nausea medication and a drip was started to ensure hydration. Anesthesiologist came in and explained the process. Then Heck came in and drew on me with a marker, he also measured everything and made suggestions. Once that was done the anesthesiologist inserted some meds and then they rode me to a room and I was out.
Post surgery: Woke up and had some pain. Scale 1-10 I was at a 3. She gave me meds until I felt comfortable. After that they called my ride and observed me to see if I was nauseous. I was not and felt fine. Due to Corona, I couldn’t have a friend there. She was explained the directions and I was before surgery.
All in all day 1 went well. I have not looked at my boobs and I have did not look at much. I am sleeping upright with a hubby pillow and have taken all my meds. I currently don’t have any pain, but I anticipate some tomorrow.

I just had mine done with Dr.Angelos on Monday 2/22. So far my biggest complaint is sleeping upright. And I had to get a different bra on bc the one they gave me was digging into my skin so bad. Can't wait to get back to the gym and in my own bed haha. Happy healing!

Day 3 and I am very impressed!!! Beyond exceeded my expectations!!! Also I don’t have any pain at all!!! They cleaned me up with hydrogen peroxide, took pics, and sent me on my way. I was told they’ll be boxy but will round out in a few months!!! I am pleased so far!!! Blood flow is there, scars look good, some bleeding onto the gauze pads!!! No scar cream applied just yet.

Day 4

So I just took a shower with dial soap and I’m feeling pretty good!!! I also blotted with hydrogen peroxide all over the stitches. I did have a restless night of sleep. Sleeping upright is pretty tough. I’m still impressed with the work!!! He exceeded my expectations!!!!
