Today is THE Big Day!!

WORTH IT$11,860
TODAY IS MY BIG DAY for the surgery (breast lift + implant + tiny breast liposuction) ! I am so very absolutely excited & nervous at the same time! It is 12:05AM now and I don't know if I can even fall asleep.
I've been wanting to improve my breast shape ever since highschool as I never experienced the "perky phase". Even though I was blessed with a decent volume of breast tissue, gravity hates me...
I am extremely lucky with my wait time. From the day I requested for consultation to surgery date, it only took me 10 months!! My other girlfriends who went to Dr.Pugash had average wait time of 1 year just to get the initial consultation because he is THAT popular!
Due to Covid, I did the virtual consultation and it went pretty well. He definitely knows what he is doing and he explained all the realistic expectations. Do not show him your goal pics lol as he'll tell you everyone's result is different.
Anyways! I'm a little hesitate to share photos on this platform as I'm worried that acquaintances might recognize me. Do people set up private IG accounts to share their photo journeys? I'm interested to share but at least I want to know who'll be reading.
Anyways, CHEERS!

Thank u!! I'm excited but nervous at the same time! Can I ask wat size u went with? Do u have any pics?
August 22, 2020
Ok nvm! Clearly I'm half asleep ... u went with 250 & 375. I'm freaking out about what u said... he didnt want to see your wish pics. I kno everyone's different but having an idea .. like how round, shape, size would be nice... !! I would like 400-450cc but I have a feeling he's going to say no and i'll be at 350-375.
August 22, 2020
Haha no worries! Yea... He's not going to promise anything if you bring him your wish pics. He won't choose the size for you either. He wants you to try the sizers yourself and choose based on what you see in the mirror during your appointment. It is a little stressful but I understand he wants you to have realistic expectations.

In my case, I went with the largest size allowed according to my body composition.

I wouldn't worry too much about cc now! Just wait till you try in person!

I've been researching this for soooo long The least I can do is bring the wish pics with me so he can have somewhat of what I would like :) I too would go with the larger size!! Hope ur doing well!! I'd like to follow ur journey... since mine is coming up soon :)
August 24, 2020
Somewhat of an idea**
August 24, 2020
For sure! I totally know what you mean I was the same too for months! Just wait till the consultation. By then he will measure you and tell you what is the max that's reasonable for your body! I thought I would want 400cc but then when i tried the 300's sizers they actually look really decent and my max was 375cc anyways so everything worked out.

I will try my best to update my journey~ Not sure how comfortable to post pictures yet. Maybe I will post some with clothing on to show the shape haha!

No pain at all! Is this real??

Hope0000
Hello world I'm alive!
Dr. Pugash said my surgery went very well and everything is good!
Yesterday I woke up in the recovery room feeling very awake and energized. The pain medication must be really effective. I only feel tightness and soreness in my chest, but it is very manageable as I'm used to feeling sore after weight training anyway. It just feels like another day after a good workout. The nurse kept telling me to rest but I honestly couldn't sleep because I was so excited to go home with my bf!
Apparently, the pain medication is supposed to make me not able to urine for 8 hours. Lol guess what, I had to go to the bathroom every hour as I was chugging water as soon as I got home. My boyfriend is the best he's been helping me to get up and around.
I slept really well last night. Today is Day 1 post op and I feel no pain as well. Hopefully I won't jynx about this pain haha! I'm just so excited to stay in bed and play video games all day.
Can't wait to take off these bandages on Monday!
PS: I don't plan to shower for the next couple of days. I bought 4 packs of body wipes and I told my bf to wipe me down instead.

How r u feeling today?? I'm dying to see ur results!!!!
August 24, 2020
Today is my Day 3 and I'm still feeling fantastic! No pain, no struggle. Im off the prescribed pain med, just taking advil alone. I can manage to do some light chores around the house as long as it doesn't require much chest. One side is more swollen than the other side because of the implant size difference.

Tomorrow I'll take my bandages off but I have a good feeling everything will look good!

PS: Definitely get some sort of massage device for your back.. My chest is so heavy I slouch 24/7 and it gives me back pain lol. I miss stretching my back.

Compression band time!

Hope0000
Just came back from my 1st post-op appointment. Dr. Pugash said they are recovering really well and they are beautiful! He said I'm one of the lucky ones who's been having an easy recovery so far. It is true because my other friends who got theirs done were in pain for a long time. I even prepared for the worst.
I saw my breasts for the first time and I love the size so much. I think I'm maybe 2 cups bigger now? Can't stop touching them as soon as I got home and I keep putting my bf's hands on them haha! I can't see the incisions yet because of the tapes around them.
Fun Fact: I went to another popular surgeon's consultation before Pugash and that doc straight up told me that he can't do lift+implant on me due to my severe size difference and ptosis... The level of difficulty is just too high... I was so disappointed and worried that Dr.Pugash would say the same thing. I told Dr.Pugash about this and he laughed and said "well you came to the right place!"
I set very low expectations thinking any improvement would be nice! Maybe because of my positive thinking, this entire journey has been a piece of cake so far! Today doc ripped off the surgical tapes (ouch, kinda hurt) and put on this bra and a compression band. The band is the worst part! It is so tight I had a hard time just walking back to my car. But I know I need to suck it up because it'll be good for me.
I'm extremely happy and grateful for everything. If I had a choice, I would've gotten them a few years earlier.
