Lift and BA 375cc Motiva Round Implants

After having 2 kids my poor little 12A breasts had become nothing but saggy skin with very little breast tissue. I had been mostly OK with the small size through my life but since breastfeeding, I could hardly stand to look at what they'd become. So I made an appointment with Dr Mark Vucak at NQ Plastic surgery. If I recall, it was only a month or 2 wait for the consultation. On the day I was very happy that he went through the process with me and suggested sizes based on what I wanted and my body shape. He came across very professional and experienced. He also explained the need for the lift (Mastopexy) and that with my degree of sagging I could be eligible for some Medicare rebates. I ended up deciding on Motiva Round 375cc. For reference, I was 57kg and 175cm and 12AA. My surgery was booked for a couple of months later -would be 2 days before my 39th birthday. Yay me! The total costs ended up being around $22K when including Anesthetist and hospital fees. Surgery went well, however I did experience a lot more pain afterwards than I had expected. I think I have a high pain threshold (I had 2 babies drug free) but this really threw me. The pain was mostly deep in my chest and sternum. It was probably day 5 before I felt able to cope without the serious painkillers every 4 hours around the clock. I still felt a lot of pressure from the tight skin though. As expected, I couldn't move my arms or upper body much in this time either so I was reliant on hubby to do everything. I had a large Pico dressing on for 5 days which has a vacuum, it wasn't working properly but this didn't impact my healing. I also had an allergic reaction to the plastic tape the hospital nurses used to try and seal the dressing so I was extra uncomfortable for those days, especially in our Qld summer heat. It was amazing to get it off and see my new boobs. The incisions look super neat and the nurses showed me how to change the tape on them weekly. With the Xmas new year break, I have to wait 4 weeks for sutures to be removed so I will update after that. I am now just over 2 weeks post op and I am feeling so much better. Still some pressure and occasional stabby type pain but nno need for painkillers. Im so very happy with the results so far!! ZMy only regret is not doing it sooner. I know I have a while to go before I see final results and size so Iwill keep you posted. I can't wait to finally buy beautiful bras for the first time in my life! e
