I've always wanted to a breast augmentation and...
WORTH IT$6,200
I've always wanted to a breast augmentation and finally decided to do it. I had my procedure done with Dr. Markmann of Metamorphosis Plastic Surgery on October 4, 2013. Here is my journey...
Today is the day after surgery. The day before surgery was absolutely nerve racking...the anticipation was the worst. I couldn't sleep at all and just stayed up looking at Boobie pics. I've changed my mind about the sizes a million times.
The day of surgery I was super nervous but the staff at Northwest Hospital in Maryland were incredible. Everyone made me feel more than comfortable. I told Dr. Markmann I was indecisive about the sizes but showed him a picture of the boobs I wanted. I told him natural looking & breast proportionate for my body was my goal. When I tried on sizers I picked sizes from 475 ccs to 575 cc. I am a 34/36B and wanted to be a C or D depending on what looks best on my frame. I left it up to Dr. Markmann to make the final call because I'm confident he will know how many ccs it will take to accomplish my goal.
When I finally got into the OR I was super nervous, my heart rate was 140 bpm. I think Dr. Markmann could sense my anxiety and stood at my bedside and held my hand until I fell asleep. When I got out and into recover the staff was excellent and I felt no pain, just pressure. It was definitely a challenge trying to put on my clothes so I needed help with that too.
I went home and took my antibiotics and Percocet for the pain. When I got home I did feel a little discomfort and was a little lightheaded from the meds. I bought this special pillow that helps you sit up which was an awesome recommendation from another real self member. Awesome buy!!! Since I had to sleep in a 45 degree angle it really helped. The first night was the worst because I had to remember to take my pain meds every 4-6 hours. I also have a pain pump that is attached to each breast and I carry it in a little pouch around my waists. I highly recommend this but I think it significantly decreased my pain level.
Today, which is the day after surgery, I don't feel any pain just pressure on my chest, it's still feels uncomfortable to take a deep breath. It's still hard to sit up by myself so I need help with that and when I do get up I just feel sore like I just did a heck of a chest workout. They say that the first 48 is the worst part...so if this the worst (which to me is just mild) then I'll be okay.
I have my follow appoint Monday October 7th which is 3 days after surgery. I'll keep you guys posted n share some pictures.
