Composite Pictures

It may be helpful to see before & afters, and side-by-side progression pics :)

It's been a while!

I haven't been active on Realself much lately, but figured I would dump lots of post-op progression pictures here! The healing process was slower and more painful than I imagined it would be. I vomited a few times on day 5, and the compression bra was KILLER. My chest already felt constricted due to the implants, and that bra only made it worse. I managed to drive and go back to work on day 7, but felt fatigued and easily tired for a few weeks after the surgery.

Around 2 months PO, I had some worrying pain that I thought could be the onset of CC. My PS prescribed Accolate and saw me right away. It turned out to be nothing, thank goodness. He cleared me to go braless (YES!!!!) and I'm so much more comfortable now that I'm out of that damn compression bra.

Currently, I'm a bit more than 3 months out and I think the implants were absolutely worth it, and one of the best decisions I've ever made about my body. Dr. Steely did a beautiful job and I feel great about my new breasts. They are the perfect size for my body, and not obviously fake. I hope to enjoy them for years to come :)

Post-op day 2

Here are some pics taken 2 days after surgery (I'm counting surgery day as 'day zero')

I feel like they're changing already and starting to look more natural! Or maybe it's just the different lighting. I'm excited for them to drop and fluff some more. Hopefully they'll get a tiny bit further apart, as they are nearly touching at the moment! Also, sorry for the grossness, but the constipation is real. I look so bloated and pregnant. I had not pooped in days D:

Dr. Steely and his staff were amazing throughout the whole process of my breast augmentation. At my consultation, Dr. Steely answered all of my (many) questions and spent lots of time with me, making me feel very comfortable and confident in his abilities. He was extremely respectful about touching me and taking my photos. I received a large packet of information to take home and study, which I appreciated. Throughout the process, the office staff was quick to respond to emails and phone calls. As an out-of-state patient, they worked with me and even scheduled Skype follow-up appointments, which saved me many long trips. Dr. Steely's assistants, Cindy and Heather are so kind and knowledgable. I felt comfortable letting them address my concerns when Dr. Steely was not able to personally. The only criticism I have is that my post-op appointments with Dr. Steely felt a bit rushed (like he wanted to be in and out in 2 minutes). However, I cannot really fault for this, because the post-op visits don't involve much. Also, he seemed to always be on time! As for my results, I couldn't be happier. I'm currently 3 months post-op and my body has never looked better. I feel great and my confidence has skyrocketed. Choosing Dr. Steely for my breast augmentation was truly one of the best decisions I've ever made about my body.
