34 Years, 1 Child 350cc HP Mentor Silicone Transanxillary Under the Muscle - Hawthorn, AU

Ive just reached the four week mark and thought I would do a quick update.
Ive had my four week checkup and everything is going super well. My surgeon is happy with my progress and so am I. Ive been given the all clear to start wearing (supportive) bras and can finally say goodbye to the post op bra.
My scars are healing very well also.
My size is perfect for my frame although when I tried on the 350cc sizers They seemed a whole lot bigger than what they are now that they are implanted so I would say be very careful when you select your size.
I am still getting the odd sharp pain here and there in the breast but they dont last long and my nipples are extremely sensitive but improving each day.

Sweplling continues to go down and feeling really happy with the results thus far.
Its amazing feeling that the smallest things that seem so different now. I had a quick visit to the beach and when i went into the chamge rooms, I wasnt running the cubicle with a door to hide behind and get changed like I once would have. Its the little things that no one else would even notice but my confidence has completely changed. Onwards and upwards!

I spent my early adolescence teased at school for having a "surfboard" chest.
These thoughts and feelings carried through into my adulthood and for years, I would hate to look in the mirror at myself because my flat chest was always the first thing I would see. For nearly 12 years now I have dreamt of having a Breast Augmentation and this year I had worled hard and saved money to finally finance it without a loan.
I have one child who is 6, I never had much tissue before, but feeding her made the minimal boobs I had even worse!
(My frame is quite thin, I have broad shoulders weigh 55kg and am about 173cm tall.)
After alot of research, and reading I found the Cosmetic Surgery for Women in Hawthorn and made an appointment. Being in Victoria helped and knowing that the surgeon's here all had 30 plus years of plastic and cosmetic surgery experience I felt comfortable knowing that I was in good hands.
I needed to have the surgery done to suit my end of year leave so Mr Geoffrey Barnett was the surgeon I was booked in for a consult with.
I shook like a leaf at my first appointment, had no idea what to ask even though it was all in my head, but his kind nature and friendly support staff helped me to feel more comfortable and covered everything I needed to know.
After a discussion about my preferences, wish photos and the use of a Vectra machine (takes photos to show you how you will look) , Mr Barnett suggested 350cc to suit the photos I had shown.
The sizers felt way too big when I tried them so we compromised on 325cc HP Smooth Silicone. I really wanted to have a natural look if possible.
By the time my second appointment rolled around I had decided to go with the 350cc.
My surgery date was 20th December at the Epworth in Hawthorn. The staff were all incredible. I felt very nervous butnat ease at the same time.
The surgery went well but I woke up terribly from the anesthetic. I spent the entire day in hospital in pain, with extreme nausea. The nurse Andrew was a saviour and I am so thankful to him.for his patience and bedside manner. Geoff came to visit me two or three times and all i can remember is him.saying he was very happy with the surgery and I got a pat on the head. Hahaha
My next five days were pretty full on. I was very lucky to have my fiancé there those first 24 hours after to help me do pretty much everything. I couldn't get myself up from the bed or anything. And while the hospital drugs wore off I threw up every time I had a new dose of oxicontin.
My mum helped for the next three days while I was in recovery.
No matter where I tried to sleep it was impossible and I had extremly bad back pain.
Tightness with breathing (deep breaths were impossible), I didnt eat much for two or three days. Its hard when youre in the rough of it because it feels like its never going to end!
But day 8 I finally got a full night sleep (with pain med help still).
Bowels arent working too well. Now I believe them when they say "the meds will bind you up" - My Gut looks pregnant!
I have done as the surgeon asked and wear my post op bra 24/7 except for showers.
The scars under my arms are feeling better and I finally have more movement. Use of arms in the first three or four days was really tricky. Painful but also just uncomfortable.
I am day 10 and I love the way my new boobs are looking so far. For the first time in my life I can stand tall and feel like a woman without feeling embarrassed and ashamed. And I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Geoff Barnett and his nurse Jenny. They have been so lovely during this process and Jenny is always there to help if you ring or email.
