3 Weeks Post-Op
My breast... My main concern is still my incisions, currently I'm using silicone scaraway sheets to improve the scars, I wear them 22-23hrs a day (as recommended by my PS.) they are reuseable for 7days, at the end of the evening I remove them and was with antibacterial soap. I then massage my breast with Vitamin E oil. My left breast is still swollen and a bit numb. I do NOT see any difference in the breast size but I can feel the difference between the two. Lefty is more full and the right has softened, it almost feels a bit smaller. Once again I have not noticed any difference in the two nor has my BF but it is definitely something I am monitoring closely. I'm really hoping I received the size I wanted. There was some confusion and 350cc was ordered before I even made my decision originally, I confirmed my choice of 400cc day before and day of surgery and he acknowledged. I'm just a bit nervous bc I still have not received my Mentor Warranty Card. How long can this take?? Is it mailed? I forgot to ask my PS about this. I still feel a bit on the small side, but maybe that is just vanity getting the best of me. It's so weird but I feel like my body wanted breast just as much as my mind did and maybe that is why my surgery and recovery went so smoothly or maybe it's bc I did not spare any expense, I chose an amazing board certified PS and put in countless hours for research on the doc., what to-do before/after, complications, etc. I simply read all the information I possibly could attain on the matter. My results prove that!!
Provider Review
My very first interaction with Dr. Mustoe and his team started when I called and had the chance to speak with the office manager, Lori. Lori was very sweet and very informative, she briefly described expectations for my consultation and then we scheduled my consultation but the doctor was so busy I would have to wait nearly 3 weeks(!!!) I have been waiting half of my life for this procudure and waited until I was fully saved before actually going to any consultations in fear of "teasing" myself so 3 weeks sounded absurd. I took the time available and made many other consultations between this time. I came into Dr. Mustoes office very nervous not sure why it could have been because I was running about 10-15mins late and I really didnt want my appt. to get cancelled. I walked into a very beautifully (warm/comfortable) set waiting room, there were other patients waiting and within the 5minutes I was in the waiting area I met a patient of Dr. Mustoes she was very sweet and had high remarks for the doctor. This set me at ease, I was then brought into a room (beautiful views!!) where I was asked to undress and put on the robe (so plush and soft, not paper) a few moments later a nurse brought me into another room to take 360 pictures of my breast and nose this took about 5 mins. (I really really liked this, I was told at other consultations they don't use them bc the imagse are not realistic -I thought they were scary realistic!!!) Now this was the only time I waited and that was about 10-15mins alone but I had reading material, I also brought a list of questions to go over so this gave me time to prepare. 15mins later I had the pleasure to officially meet Dr. Thomas Mustoe and he is a very very sweet man, in my own words he is a gentle-giant, literally about 6'8" I feel like a midget next to him. He looked at my breast briefly and said all those big words I didn't really understand, unlike others he simplified everything for me, we went over everything in detail and I mean everything. He did not make me feel dumb for asking certain questions, even when I asked a question more than once. I asked every question I had on my list, he explained thoroughly, even with illustrations at times. I am not goin to lie, since I put in soo much research I believe I had consultations with some the best PS in the Chicagoland Area and this was a difficult desicion for me. I thought it would be clear as day who my PS would be but when it came down to it I really liked 2, so how did I choose Dr. Mustoe honestly it was a gut feeling. I was NEVER rushed, he was curtious, the office/location was clean and well maintained, new technogolgy, staff/nurses were all friendly and informative, and it was clear Dr. Mustoe had the experience and knowledge I was looking for. I just hope Im making all right choices, this is all coming at me really really fast!!! I will have my first official Post-Op visit tomorrow at 12pm wish me luck!!!
