My "Canadian Girls" - Burnsville, MN

I'm just starting to get a little feeling back in the nipples and I can't bend forward very far but other then that my girls are wonderful

That concerns me, why can't you bend over very far? How long is the actual full recovery?

Don't be concerned...they say give it 6 months to fully heal. The only time I have had an issue so far is at the dentist from going back and the girls were coming up to my throat...lol I just wear my band that holds them down.

I'm a diabetic so I'm sure my healing will be prolonged but I'm hoping for the best.

I am diabetic too. Taking Bromeline (pineapple extract) 2 weeks before and 4 weeks after surgery greatly accelerated my healing as compared to other times I had surgery. Also I took Arnica Montana starting the day of surgery and for 2 weeks there after. These also kept me from getting even one bad bruise. Just had one quarter size bruise underneath and went away in 3 days. Also, taking

Can you get those otc? Thanks for the info.

It was a little over 10k and no drains..surgery on a wed and back to work on Monday. Dr. Joe uses a no touch technique which means no instruments only his fingers. He is very personable and great financing!

My lift with silicone implants are only $4500 but I have to go to Miami.

That's a great price but why Miami?

Because even with the flight and expenses is only going to be $5600. Where I live it is $11,000.

Thank you , I went with saline and my right side is 650cc and left one is 660cc.

You look fantastic. That looks like the size I am going for. I have already decided on silicone but haven't decided on size yet. I am thinking around 600cc. I'm trying to get an idea for a starting point when I go in for my pre-op in December :)

I changed my mind a week before surgery to go a 100cc bigger and so happy I did. My thinking was I would rather be a little to big then wake up and say they are to small but a good surgeon will discuss this with you and because of my measurements my body could handle the extra cc's....good luck next month on your pre op. Are you getting a lift as well?

Luckily my surgeon said that I didn't need a lift. I am doing a monmy make over with a breast augmentation,tummy tuck, muscle repair, lipo to the flanks, and submental lipo. As far as the augmentation goes I selected silicone but haven't picked a size. He said based on my measurement he would be able to fit a large implant and the ones the 3D imaging machine picked were almost all large. I am leaning around 600cc and Thinking high or moderate plus profile. I didn't get to play with sizers or the 3 D imaging as much as I would have liked because I had to pick my kids up from daycare. My next appointment I will have more time to make up my mind and come up with a final decision

I am so happy for you :) and what a great way to bring in the new year with the new you. I think next year I will do my tummy. Please keep me posted on what you decided and how it all goes.

Absolutely. I am looking forward you updates and more pictures of your process as well!

Thank you and recovery has been so much better then I thought. That was my biggest worry. I did take a week off of work and still wear the ace bandage at night only because I am a side sleeper and even though i know I have to stay on my back awhile I try to turn on side during sleep so that's where the bandage comes in and hold them in nice and tight. I have never been in pain only discomfort.

Oh that awesome to hear. That is the same experience my BFF had. Great to hear you are doing well.
