Pre-op: 32AA Post-op: 32C Allergan saline 300...
WORTH IT$5,400
Pre-op: 32AA
Post-op: 32C Allergan saline 300 filled to 310, transaxillary incision
Pros:
- Affordable (compared to others in the area)
- Professional, knowledgeable staff
- Beautiful, natural results
- Relatively quick, easy recovery (no bandages, drains, pain pumps, etc after surgery. Dissolving stitched needed no removal).
Cons: Not necessarily a "24-hour recovery" process (as it was with most patients); this is dependent upon your sensitivity to anesthesia and the other drugs you're prescribed. I found that I was quite sensitive, and had to work only part time the following week (as I'd get stiff, sore and tired by 1PM each day).
Overall: Absolutely worth it!

I have surgery scheduled with Dr. G a week from today, and was curious if his rapid recovery techniques also speed up the dropping of the breasts. I know each patient is different, but out of curiosity, how long did it take for your breasts to drop and fluff after surgery?

Hi! Sorry for the slow reply; I don't check my account often. My guess is that the rapid recovery technique does speed up the drop & fluff, since you aren't all bandaged up afterward and Dr. G asks you to do arm exercises plus laying on top of them. From what I recall, my breasts looked "normal" about 6 weeks post-op, but I don't believe they were completely dropped and fluffed until about 6 months later. I went to the beach about 2 weeks post-op and my breasts were still very high and far apart, but I was so happy with them that I didn't care that they didn't look normal yet. :)

Hahaha, that is awesome :) I'm a little over two weeks post-op as this point and feel the same way; I'm excited to hop into a swimming suit not made for pre-teens just in time for the 4th, but am glad to hear there will still be a lot of changes to be expected. And no worries about the delay; thank you so much for responding! Have a great holiday!
