It&#x27;s Almost Time! But I Still Have a Few Questions - Carmel, IN

January 22, 2017

I had my breast augmentation a week ago tomorrow! You will not remember the car ride after you come out of surgery and are in recovery they give you pain pills and muscle relaxer prior to departing the surgery center. Did they tell you to bring all your pre filled prescriptions with you? Really the first two days are not bad you will
sleep a lot. My surgeon did not recommend ice I never used it. I took Celebrex an anti inflammatory Flexerall a muscle relaxer and a narcotic pain medication for first two days only since then I have taken nothing. My breasts never really hurt just my sternum and my upper back.

Thank you!!! I also don't remember much after the surgery. I brought a pillow for the car ride home and slept most of the way, and most of the day/night after getting home. My back and sternum are sore too, and I am starting to be able to feel the incisionsame a bit. So far I am happy with them though! I can't remember all the measurements, but I do know I was a 13.0 BW. My surgeon and I decided on the Mentor brand moderate plus profile, 375cc, submammary incision

What are your measurements and how big of implants are you using?

I had my BA 1/12/17, it is only uncomftablewhen I go to bed. I think it is the position. I am having my first PO tomorrow, I hope ps tells me I am doing well. I only took the Percocet at bedtime otherwise Motrin. I agree I slept the first day most of the day. Barely remember anything. I had 240cc u NZ. I hope they get smaller. They seem big to me but that's because I haven't told anyone. I'm back to work in a week. Good luck!! What size are you going with. ?

January 24, 2017

Good luck at your PO! Mine is scheduled for the second week in Feb. I slept pretty much all day yesterday too. I have better movement in my arms today though so that's nice. They're just very high and tight right now. I was a 34b prior to surgery, and I'm not sure yet what my Post Op size is, but I am wearing LG sports bras. I went with Mentor brand 375cc moderate plus profile unders, and the incision was made inframammary.

I'm also having my BA done in Carmel, IN.. although, different surgeon. My surgery is 2/13/17. Following your page to see what to expect. Let me know if you have any advice! Hope all goes well for you!

Hi there! How exciting! Procedure went very well, no issues and the staff at Carmel Ambulatory and Surgical Center were AMAZING. They really eased my last minute nerves and made it a seamless process! I plan on posting a few pics later today.

January 24, 2017

So good to hear! That's where my surgery will be, also. Hope all continues to go well for you!

January 24, 2017

You will have such a good experience there! Very kind and understanding people, and they are definitely good at what they do! I was never concerned about the staff. Thank yoy SO much, and good luck on your surgery!!

How was the 2 hour drive home?? We also will have a long drive.. hoping I can just relax enough to sleep.

January 24, 2017

The drive wasn't bad. I brought a fluffy pillow to hold onto and that really helped. I wasn't in much pain right after, we even stopped and got a light lunch. I was still a bit wobbly, and very tired, from the anesthesia, so we ate in the car. I slept off and on the whole way home :)

1 Day Post Op

Having better arm movement today. I am very sore, but it's not to painful. It feels like a bad pulled muscle, and pressure. Breasts are very high and tight, but so far I am happy with the results! Sorry about the bad lighting in the before and after pics, my phone cam was doing funny things with the coloring and shadows.

Congrats! Hope your doing well! I was 1 day post op a week ago today. Take it easy rest a lot and the week will fly by. I had my one week post op today! Got my gauze and tape removed from my incision. I see your taking photos with a swim top I have to wear a compression bra pretty much 24/7 to keep the pocket perfect. Are you wearing a compression bra?

January 25, 2017

Doing well just sore. I wear a compression 24-7 also, I just put on the swim top because that was the same one I had on in my "before" pic. It doesn't have any padding or underwire, and I took it off right after the pic

Also make sure you take your laxitive or stool softner asap. Also eat prunes and tons of fiber just saying your stomach gets backed up and slowed down and the more you can get ahead of it the better off you will be....

2 weeks post Op

TuTusAndTaTasFebruary 6, 2017

Thursday was my 2 week post op visit. I still habe a bit of twnderness in several spots, but a couple ibuprofen takes care of it. Dr. Fatas patient coordinator, Donnete (who is amazing btw) remobed my stitches and showed me how to massage to soften and manipulate the implants. They are looking much more normal now, and WAY less hard feeling/looking. This upcoming thursday I can temobe the tape over the scar. Progress!
