2 days 17 hours till surgery!

i’m so excited / anxious for my surgery ! i’m getting 360-400cc (I will let my PS decide during surgery ) under the muscle (dual-plane) natrelle round silicone implants plus a benelli lift of ~ 2cm, up to the freckle above my left areola. he said he may use two different sizes because of my asymmetry. i am currently working 6 days in a row so that i can have 8 days off for recovery without taking any PTO. i’m hoping this is long enough. i’m worried about scarring with this type of lift but i trust my plastic surgeons and can always do a full lift later if i am unhappy but i don’t think i will be. I am getting married september 2020 and i’m so thrilled to have new breasts for my big day ! I’ll keep you guys updated on my recovery :)

Today was my surgery with Dr. Medalie. All the nurses at the surgery center were amazing! my anesthesiologist and CRNA were super cool and made me feel at ease. right before surgery, Dr. Medalie asked me what my biggest fear is and i said, “that i’ll be too big” he really listened to me and gave me 375 cc, right in the middle of the range we had discussed in my consultation. I woke up from the surgery and immediately stared crying from the pain but i went home with my mom and things have been pretty good! my expectations for the pain were much higher than what i’m actually experiencing so that’s great. I know day two is sometimes worse but fingers crossed it just gets even better from here. i am already really happy with my results. Dr. Medalie and the team at Brainard Surgery Center really were amazing! 

375 cc natrelle silicone implant under the muscle with a bilateral benelli lift

very sore today and under my right breast is kind of burning when i stand up, i’m assuming this is normal. i had to switch to the next size up in the bra i was wearing initially, the band was digging into me with all the extra bloating and swelling. i hope this larger size bra has enough compression on my new breasts. i was able to move from the chair to the couch in the living room and find that i am more comfortable with enough pillows propping me up. i am too sore for pictures today but hopefully better tomorrow.
