SOOOO NERVOUS! 5'3, 116 Lbs, 32A, Under Muscle, 500cc - Honolulu, HI

Wow it's been a long time since I last updated my reviews. It's been a little over a year since I had my operation and really couldn't be happier. My girls look so natural and amazing that most people didn't even realize I had the procedure lol in fact, I ran into a HS friend recently who thought I just grew up really really hot! Lol sssshhhh they don't need to know the truth ???? This size is perfect for me I think. Not too big, not too small. I'm so glad I listened to Dr. S and not gone smaller like I had originally wanted. He's just a really awesome surgeon overall and I don't think he understand how much this has impacted my life. I feel so much more confident now and I swear I turn heads walking down the street. This really made me feel so sexy (whether it's true or not because all that matters is how I feel and I feel damn good haha) and like I can conquer the world! And of course, the hubby is loving every minute of it. He can't keep his hands off me...and them. Thank you Dr. S and staff for everything. Love you all so much!

Things have been so crazy at work that I have not had a chance to update my progress, if you are reading, sorry! Anyway, tomorrow will be exactly 3 weeks post op for me and I must admit, there IS the light at the end of the tunnel after all lol so if you have been reading my previous posts, I had trouble adjusting to the pain & swelling in the first week and I was feeling out and there were times when I felt like "omgosh what did I get myself into?!?!" Don't get me wrong, I've never doubted my decision to get the BA and it's not regrets I was feeling, more like I'm pretty much a wuss when it comes to pain and discomfort so I didn't know if I could go on handling it. Anyway, at the end of 2 weeks, I started to feeling more myself again and now at 3 weeks post op, I must say I'm about 80% back to my old self again, yay!!!
My PS cleared me to swim last week which is wonderful because I've always been very active and I think not being able to do much physically might've contributed to my feeling down and whiny too. But I got a few swim sessions in over the past week and much happier now. My breasts also begin to LOOK better now. I'm slowly getting used to the idea of having boobs lol there is still some swelling (on the sides & top of breasts) and some MINOR tightness especially in the morning but nothing I can't handle. My PS told me that I have very tight skin (which I don't think is a bad thing in the more general sense lol) so the tightness and swelling is normal but they are dropping just as expected and I can feel them getting softer every day. They don't feel like torpedoes anymore either and look pretty much normal in clothes. My PS suggests no bras for 1 month to let gravity do the work bringing the implants to where they need to be which I'm not complaining because even without a bra, they look nice and full as if I'm wearing a push up bra all the time lol I can't wait til they fully soften and look more natural but I will try to enjoy them this way while it lasts because I'm sure the second my boobs fully drop & fluff, I'm gonna miss the "natural push-up" look again lol
Also, before I got my surgery, I heard a lot about loss of sensation in breasts and nipples. I actually have the opposite problem, they are SUPER sensitive now lol so keep in mind that does happen too, ladies! And since they are still tight and not 100% soft yet, I've noticed that triangle bikini tops look kind of weird on me. I mentioned it with one of the staff today and she said that it is normal and thag bandeau type bikini tops are better in the beginning months, so just something to think about if you are thinking of new bathing suits.
Overall I cannot be happier with the whole experience. Dr. Schlesinger and his whole staff have been more than amazing in my care. He is an amazing and caring doctor. He calls me directly to check up on me if he sensed I was having a hard time coping with my feelings and discomfort early on. I am a quality improvement coach for medical offices and I work with many many physicians over the years and I can honestly say that very rarely have I ever met any physician who is as caring, dedicated and skilled as Dr. Schlesinger. The man guarantees his work for gods sake. You'll rarely see a doctor who is confident enough to say "you will be happy with the results or I will fix it on my dime" but he is and that is also another reason to trust him. I could not be happier with my decision to go with him as my PS! I cannot wait to see the end results when I completely D&F and I will try to update you ladies with my final results :-)
