I met with Dr. David Shifrin in March for a BA consultation. I felt very comfortable with him immediately, he seems very down to earth and confident (which is a must when searching for perfection). He gave me his background (which I already knew of because of my extensive research on finding the best PS). When he did his exam he told me everything I was hoping to hear as far as the look I wanted. As soon as I left I wanted to call them from the car and schedule right away lol. I've scheduled all of my appointments a couple weeks ago and am waiting patiently but am so anxious, nervous, excited all at the same time! I'm Trying to get everything I may need in order but have no idea what I will need for after surgery, if anyone one has any good advise on products please let me know.

I love the new me's provider

Hello He's awesome, you're in good hands. What you'll need depends on what you getting done. I'm a month and two days post-op mommy makeover. I bought gloves, surgical gauze, surgical tape, arnica gel and pills to help with swelling. Bromelain and quercetin to help with swelling and inflammation and ginger tea all day! Hope this helps

Hi Africa999, thanks for the advise! How are you feeling? Im scheduled for my breast augmentation on 5/19, I'm excited and nervous! I see that you also had an augmentation, what kind of implant did you get? Because they look great! I think I'm getting the Natrelle round at 450cc.

Good morning!
You're welcome. I have 300cc silicone implants under the muscle, Please be aware that under the muscles takes a little bit more time to heal I'm sure he told you that, anyway. Good luck☺

Hey Hun, so what's your stats?

Hey there, so I originally said I was at 12cm breast width but I was wrong, I'm 14cm. I decided on the 450cc (I currently weight about 150lbs post baby) but I should get down to my normal weight 130/135 after surgery when I can continue dieting. I am exactly 1 week away from surgery, and sooooo excited and nervous! As soon as I'm done I'll post the new girls!

I'm getting ready to get going to the surgery center and maaaaaaaaaaaan I am nervous! I'm scheduled to be there at 2:00 and then get some hydration (iv) in me. I haven had anything in my system since 9:00 last night and I'm not even hungry or thirsty (probably because I'm anxious and excited) wish me luck! I'll post pics when I'm done

How was the surgery??

Hi! It was great! Thanks for asking. Closed my eyes and poof woke up with boobies! Lol! I woke up with literally no pain just a little pressure at my sternum, of course the anesthesia had me a little shaky but other than that it's 3:00am and I woke up to use the bathroom and I'm ok. I can move my arms no problem, I just feel a little sore but nothing else, I'm keeping up with the pain meds just in case. I called my one of my girlfriends from the car and she was freaking out because I "sounded normal" like I didn't just get out of surgery lol. Let's see what tomorrow brings, I'll keep ya posted.
