Surgery Day!!!
I had surgery yesturday morning. I was called in to the pro op room where a lovely lady had explained to me that I had to change into the gown, hair net, compression socks with little blue hospital booties to put on my feet. I got to wear my own undies which was excellent but kind of embarassing. I had to apologies to the nurse and doctor as I felt sorry for them having to view pretty much my whole body. Lol
Anyway, had changed and had before photos taken of each angle. I had my blood pressure checked which was a little low but due to fasting apparently but was all good.
I then had another nurse come ask me questions, put an IV thing in my vein right near where you check your pulse on the side of my wrist. That was a different pain.. Made me giggle a bit.
Then I had Dr Tang come and confirm everything with me. He then drew on my chest and explained that my nipples wont exactly line up because they start at different sizes. Which isnt a big drama anyway as long as it isnt a massive massive difference. He was very friendly and reassuring.
I then was taken to the operating room. I didnt know what to expect and at first was a little confronting but I was asked to lay in the bed and the bed was already warmed up, with comfy blankets. It was very warm and comfy and that was awesome because I do get cold very easily. I had layed down and had everything hooked up and was explained I will soon just feel like Ive had a couple of beers and feel relaxed. Had a bit of small talk bout veins, the thing they put on your head how it tells the nurse how deep you are in a sleep. That I thought was amazing and then bam, I was in a great place and told them that I can feel it and I felt really good and the most relaxed I have felt in such a long time.
Then I woke up, like I just had a good sleep as if nothing happened and I had boobs!!! I felt them and was amazed. I was sooooo bloody happy and high fived the nurse, she then explained apparently Ive already given her a few high fives. She then showed me with a mirror what they looked like and I had a look and just couldnt believe I was staring at my own chest.
Recovering I didnt feel dizzy or any nausea. I just felt relaxed and just sooo happy about how they looked already.
I was then taken off the bed to sit down on a chair and just felt great. I had a little cup of water with a straw and a yellow heart lollipop. I dont normally like lollies but man, after fasting this was the best lollipop ever. Lol I also had a little apple juice I just downed.
My mum was called in and was explained all my medication and post op care instructions. I was then walked out with my mum and the nurse to meet my partner out in waiting room and then went down the lift and she helped me in the car. We drove home which was about 2 hours. Was explained to stop and get out to walk around to prevent blood clots after an hour of driving.
So we stopped after an hour and my partner went and got me a coffee and a big chocolate muffin with choc icing. I felt really spoilt. I appreciate the little things you know.. :)
I had come home and had a few hours sleep and that was great until I woke up. I layed on my back but wasnt propped up enough and really hurt trying to lift myself up. My partner then left to go to work late that night as he is a truck driver and was lucky enough to get the day off to drive me. So it was nice having a few hours nap with him before he took off again. My mum is my carer while he is away and being my mummy again. Lol She lives in a different state so its nice to have her come up and look after me while I actually need it.
Ill post some photos.. I am actually surprised how they look as I was expecting alot worse but Im just so happy already.

Consult today and emotions
Consult today went great. My mum was with me which made me feel more at ease. I have been so up and down with my moods lately and just extra emotional. I have not second guessed the choice of having surgery, just telt oveewhelmed I think to know Im finally having this done.
Consult with Dr Tang was great. Very friendly and professional. He first had me try 345cc sizers. As I do have a wider bottom frame I didnt think it would be enough and he also explained that once the implants will be placed in they will appear small than the sizing try ons.
So I asked for bigger and he gave me 400cc to try on. I still wasnt satisfied and still thought to go bigger. I did ask Dr Tang before trying sizers on his opinion on Extra High Profile, he told me he personally doesnt like to use them on his patients as they do appear more like fake breasts. I dont mind the fake breast look and LOVE the upper pole/ fullness of the breast look.
He then asked me to try on sizers for the last time and soon as I did I just fell inlove of the idea of the size as it felt more fuller. These were 470cc and Dr Tang explained that to acheve this size I will need to have the XHP implant and to lower the incision on the crease as they are a bigger implant. He also said that I would be able to pull off the the bigger implant because my body is curvy, except my chest. My chest is just so bloody narrow. Overall I am stoked and I have surgery in the morning.
Overall this has been a long time waiting and my partner has helped me to acheive this. This has been kind of a journey to even have this happening let alone the anxiety of having this feel real. I am kinda sad because Ive realised in the last few days that I do like my boobs, I just hate the size. I like them because they did help feed my lil baby and I think that was amazing.
Anyway, I am getting Round, Textured, Allergan XHP 470cc place under the muscle with the incision placed under the crease of the breast.
Anyway bring on tomorrow!!!! Wooooo!!!

Okay, first time ever posting. I havent seen many...
Okay, first time ever posting. I havent seen many actual in depth reviews for Dr Tang from TCI so thought I would make one plus Im super excited and just want to tell everyone. :)
I was booked in with Dr Nguyen for 15th June but due to him changing location, he was not going to be available for my surgery. I wanted to stay with TCI but to keep it at the same date I had to choose either Dr Kenny or Dr Dash. I havent found many reviews by these doctors and asked for Dr Tang. I was extremely excited to find out that Dr Tang does come to the Gold Coast once a month and I have seen a few of his before and afters.
So, I am going through the whole process now and I have a skype consult with Dr Tang on 15th June and then a face to face consultation 4th July. I am booked in 5th July to have surgery so it is kind of nerve racking that I wont find out my confirmation of sizes till the day before.
I did have a face to face consultation with Dr Nguyen and we chose 430cc and 470cc. Different sizes were due to the bottom of my breast tissue on one breast didnt actually develop at all. I thought it was due to breast feeding and the deflation process, but nope.
So Im very curious to see what sizes Dr Tang may choose to what my body can accomodate for as I know different surgeons have different opinions and perspectives.
I have uploaded some photos to start with. I just cant wait to have some boobs again. The only time I have ever had boobs were when I breastfed and they went up to a DD and I was amazed how my skin stretched. :P Another exciting part is getting the surgery is that when I do finally have boobs they are not going to go down. Lol Yayyy

Provider Review
Dr Tang
So far, I have had a great experience. Every single person I came across at the TCI made me feel so comfortable and at ease. I was so nervous but the whole process of the day was just brilliant and really was a great experience. I would do it all again in a heartbeat.
