Breast lift & augmentation after breastfeeding my twins and then losing 60 pounds
ORIGINAL POST
Breast lift & augmentation
WORTH IT$9,500
After breastfeeding my twins and then losing 60 pounds this last summer my breasts had seen better days. I started my journey to find the right surgeon last September when did many consults in person and virtually. I was even willing to travel out of state for the right surgeon. I had joined a couple Facebook groups and came across Dr Kuhnen's name. I had never even heard her name before so I started to do some research.
To be honest I couldn't find many reviews on her other than the couple in my group and no one had any photos of her results. I still took a chance and scheduled my consultation with her in January 2021.
Dr Kuhnen is the sweetest, most professional surgeon. You can tell she truly cares about her patients and giving them the best results possible. On my initial consultation she sat with my husband and I for almost 2 hours answering any and all our questions, helping me chose the right implant and size for my desired look. She even ended up ordering multiple sizes so that she had different options to chose from during my surgery. One thing that stuck with me is she kept reassuring me that "she would not let me leave her OR with boobs that she wasn't comfortable walking around with herself." I walked out of my consultation with happy tears knowing I had finally found the right surgeon.
I had my lift and augmentation on February 8. She ended up placing 385cc Natrelle Inspira Soft Touch full profile implants. I started out as a very deflated 34 DD. The suturing she did on me is absolutely flawless. I am a nurse as well who has been trained in facial sutures and I am so impressed with the work she did. I couldn't have done them any better on myself. I already love them and I can't wait to see the healing process continue!
Pain wise, the afternoon and day 1 were by far the worst. I wasn't expecting the pain to be as bad as it was. Felt like my chest had been ran over by a semi. The tightness and just overall pain was intense. I ended up setting alarms on my phone and rotated muscle relaxers with pain pills until I felt some relief. Slept a lot and made sure to walk a around my house a bit every time it was time for a pill or I had to use the restroom. On day 2 I added in arnica and Bromelain. By the evening of day 2 I was feeling so much more relief. My husband even said he could tell I was walking more upright and not moving as slow. I just finished day 3 post op and it feels more like I have done a hard core chest work out. Pain is much more tolerable and I was able to cut down to Tylenol only by the end of day 3. I am noticing a lot more random stinging happening near my incisions that I am assuming are nerve endings healing.
I will post an update after my week 1 appointment.

With similar before stats, I hope to follow your progress.. I'm scheduled for February 17, and super excited, but super nervous at the same time, with so many different emotions. I'm also naturally a 34 DD, which seems to be uncommon, so would be nice to have another to see similarities in progress. Happy healing!!
