WORTH IT$8,500
Today I had my 3 week post op appointment. I got confirmation that I received the 286 CC in the right breast and 339 CC in the left. I requested my operative report which was interesting to read the details of my surgery. The PS told me that I no longer have any restrictions. I can work out and basically do whatever I want. He said at the 6 week mark they will pretty much look how they will look. He said of course they will always be changing a little as time goes on. I will update new pics soon but so far I am still loving them and have never felt so confident naked! Yay for the gym tomorrow though! Couldn't be happier :)

I am loving the girls still! I am now able to sleep on my side although I do sometimes wake up in pain when I roll over on top of one. My PS said I can start wearing other bras including bras with underwire. As long as I don't wear anything that is going to push them up. I went an bought some bras at Kohls today and I am a 34 C. What I am wondering is how much my breasts are really going to change in size? Will I still be a 34 C? I feel like most of my swelling has gone down and they have dropped very nicely and quickly. Well anyways I hope I will still be a 34 C b/c I kind of went overboard on buying bras because I got excited. I have attatched new pics. My scars are looking awesome for only two weeks out! I notice that my nipples do itch and they are a bit sore still. I took the steristrips off this morning. I got the okay from the surgeon to do some light exercising at the 2nd week mark, so i will be lifting lower body and doing some light cardio starting this week. Do any of you girls who have the periareolar incision go tanning in the tanning bed? He said as long as i cover the incisions I can, but I need to find something good to cover them with. Anyways, I am completely happy with the girls. They are still feeling pretty hard but getting softer and softer each day. :)

how exciting, i had my first consultation about a week ago. and he does general anesthesia and through the armpit. The only thing im scared of is going under anesthesia how was your experience with that and was that a big fear for you as well?

Most ppl say they are nervous about the anesthesia. I am a nurse that is in the OR a lot with C sections, So I am so used to being around anesthesia and anesthesiologists so I was never nervous about it. It is amazing what anesthesiologist can do, they can control all of your vital signs with drugs if anything were to go wrong at all. If you are a healthy person everything will be fine. Think about it this way, even people who are 90 years old and not in the best health, get through anesthesia just fine. For me they gave me some versed right in the preop room and i dont remember past there, I dont even remember being wheeled to the OR. The only reason why I didn't do that armpit incision is because in my line of work (labor and delivery), I need to be pushing back womens legs who have epidurals. You'll do great! IF you have anymore questions dont hesitate to ask!

Girl your boobs are fabulous! They fit you perfectly... I have a question ... How does the pain pump work??
April 16, 2013
Thank you! The On Q pump has two catheters coming out of it that are inserted under each breast and it just gives a continuous flow of lidocaine which is a numbing medication. mine was set at 4 ml/hr and it lasted for about 3 days. My PS recommends it to anyone who is doing submuscular. it helps with soreness and incisional pain, but it did not take away the muscle pain, so it is very important to still take your pain meds. It was an extra 250 dollars but with how much pain I was in the first few days, it was worth it. Ive only found one surgeon that uses it.

Your boobs look great before and after! Killer swimsuit photo! I would be thrilled if my results tomorrow were even half as good as yours look!

Thank you! I researched around for months for the right PS. He really is amazing and listened to what I wanted. Good luck with everything!

Feeling much better than last time when i posted. Still taking all of the meds, but I went down to one norco instead of two. Im posting pics of day three. So far I am very happy with the results. I am supposed to keep the post op bra on for 3 weeks, blehhhhh. The post op bra was getting really tight and uncomfortable because of the swelling, but I decided to unsnap the last snap to make it a little more comfortable. Still not sleeping through the night or anything, but I have a really comfortable neck pillow that helps me. I'm so excited to see what the look like when they drop more on the bottom. Getting tired again so i'll write later.
