WORTH IT
My new girls are almost a month old! Although the first couple weeks were a little challenging this last week has been much better! Much more mobility and back to normal life completely! Started working out again, just keeping my max heart rate at about 75-80% and no chest workouts yet. Still some tightness/ stiffness in my armpit and incision areas so I’ve been listening to my body when necessary. Everything is healing nicely! Righty seems to be dropping a little quicker then lefty, but that’s totally normal as it takes months for them to completely settle. Worth every penny!

I’m SO pleased with my 2 week progress. I went for my second follow up, and was told my tubes could come out! They removed the steri-tape too and my incisions look fantastic. Dr Cohen is amazing! They are still a little asymmetric but that’s to be expected.

Didn’t get my tube removed my first follow up, but they took them out at my 2 week appointment! Feeling so much better with them out, and seeing what they look like with the steri-tape off. Dr. Cohen is amazing! I couldn’t be more pleased with my results so far!

Obsessed with your results!!! I have a TT scheduled next month. I’ve been contemplating if I should add a breast augmentation or not. How did you pick your size and shape? How did they affect your wardrobe? What have been the benefits you’ve seen since getting them? What were your measurements beforehand? Thanks and congrats on a stellar makeover! You look GORGEOUS!!! Can’t wait to follow your progress!

Thank you for your compliments! I’m LOVING them so far! My recovery was a little more then what was expected at my consultations, but I would do it again in a heartbeat for these results!

I really left the size decision up to my surgeon. I tried on some sizers at my pre-op appointment to get a look for the shape I wanted to go with, then showed him some pics of what I wanted to look like, and he decided the exact size and profile while I was on the table. That being said, I did a TON a research before I decided to even schedule my consultation, but once I met him I felt so comfortable that I was in the best hands.

First follow up, hopefully getting drains removed

Feeling a lot better today, swelling is really going down and bruising is getting much better. My right side seems to have more healing to go then the left. Implants are still high and tight, and the incisions look good from what I can see through the steri-tape. Hoping I’m healed enough to get my drains removed at my follow up appointment this evening. Pain is easily manageable with minimal meds, and no narcotics. Happy with the 450cc, dr. Cohen definitely had a great eye with what would compliment the body shape. I have experienced a lot of bloating in my torso since surgery, but starting to see that decrease slowly too.
