So before my son was born I had very nice breasts...

So before my son was born I had very nice breasts I was a full C and always had cleavage and compliments from my close girlfriends. I had my little guy in 2013 . I was very serious about breast feeding him because I wanted to give him a good start to life , something I can actually give my child. I didn't mind doing it even though I knew that my beautiful perky large breasts would deflate in to sad deflated balloons . On top of that my left breast did not produce enough milk so my son favored the right side . After one year of breast feeding I stopped and was left with two asymmetrical deflated breasts. I still didn't mind because I always loved my body in every shape and form but I still gave surgery a thought because I was worried about summer season and splashing in the water with my son and just picturing the stuffing from my left side floating away gave me anxiety. So I talked to one of my girlfriends who have had breasts augmented and she referred me to Dr. Hasell in lethbridge alberta . I booked my consult and waited 7 months to get in . It was a long wait but it didn't feel so long because I was still unsure if I wanted to do it or not . I kept changing my kind even after I booked my surgery. What gave me the actually jolt to do it I still haven't figured it out however I do not regret it . I am sooo excited that I don't have to worry about being lopsided ever again ! My surgery was this April 28 th 2015 i got my husband / we aren't married so boyfriend to drive me and sometimes it's best to go with a girlfriend because your nerves are all wacky that day and girlfriends just know what to say and husbands are like " why are you doing this , and you look fine " that didn't help me. I really wished I got my girlfriend she would have made my experience much more calming . But anyways I got there got signed in got weighed ! The nurse started iv for me and I just stayed in my room and waited for them to take me in to surgery . Every one was very nice and calming and Dr. Hasell was very informative and knowledgeable he too some pictures and answered some more of my questions and off we went . I had a mask put on my face and they injected the medication in to my iv it stung so bad I remember saying omg that hurts. But then I fell asleep. I woke up after surgery feeling very cold but the wrapped me up in warm blankets and I felt better. Then they moved me back in to my room and I got changed in to my clothes the nurse took out my iv and I was free to leave with a perscription for perks. I definetly needed them for about 3 days after the pain was horrible the pressure on my chest felt like I couldn't breath the recovery for me wasn't as easy as some girls say it was for them. I am on my fifth day and still not feeling the best . I started experiencing muscle spasms on top of my breasts last night and the pain was horrible I txted dr. Hasell if I could take robaxacet for the muscle spasms and he said absolutely only not to take Tylenol or perks because it's the same kind of family and I can overdose. I took robaxacet and I feel much better only I wouldn't suggest to do anything like driving while taking them because it made me feel floaty. My breasts right now look like they are rectangular shaped lots of top boob on the top and nipples facing low but I have read and also talked to dr. Hasell and it's very normal and that's just how it's suppose to be. I have read some reviews and the non medical term for drop and fluff is suppose to happen between 4 -6 weeks and in some cases longer . So I'm not worried . Looking at my breasts now I'm so happy that they are the same size and they do look like they will look nice when the settle in. My nipples are a bit different shape and size because of the stretching more on the right side after breast feeding but it's only a centimeter off and only noticeable if I take a picture of them however looking in the mirror or some one else looking at them wouldn't notice a difference . I have no clue why taking a picture emphasizes the nipple difference but it doesn't bother me at least I don't have to stuff my left side ever again when I am wearing a bra or a bath insult . I am trying to be patient with my body and give if time to heal but as every mommy knows life is never calm with a two year old so it's really tough . I haven't showed my weakness to my husband because I don't need him to say well you did this to your self . So maybe that's keeping me strong I think that if I had a more sweet and nurturing person by my side I would have probably fallen apart a few times because of the pain and being so uncomfortable sleeping sitting up my back hurts. I have had some ready moments by my self but I told my self to get strong and get going it's just apart of healing . I will post some pictures of my before breasts and my post day 1, 2, 3,4

It's so nerve racking at least you know that one usually drops before the other and it's normal to have a bit of lopsidedness at first . Our looking great !!!

What are your stats??
User Avatar
May 10, 2015
I got 365 in left and 340 in right . I got the gummy bear cohesive gel moderate projection in allergan inspira model . Smooth round . I was full 32 a I would wear b 32 bras but didn't fill them quite well . Dr. Hasell is not that personable but he is a very nice man and very well educated and knows what he's doing . Right before surgery I had more written down questions and he answered all of them for me. Just a reminder most great surgeons or doctors are a little socially awkward normally . What I find is that when docs have great bed side manner skills have to compensate for their poor skills lol . You would be in great hands with him . He also gives you his. Private cell number and when I had some questions that I was worried about I texted him after my surgery and he returned all my txts .

He does do good work. 3 friends of mine have gone to him and have great results. My first time meeting him I felt like I was rushed and really didn't feel like I could ask my questions. I have gone to a couple more doctors in Calgary and have had my questions answered but I still feel unsure of size. Penny said I could come in anytime and try on sizes it's just trying to get the time to go down...

I felt the same when I went for my consult , but it's because he is super busy . I ask my girlfriend that were close to my body weight and height what siE they got and that's how I decided .

He recommended 470cc moderate profile for myself but I think I want to go 500cc high profile but I haven't tried that sizer on. I haven't found someone with the same stats as me but you are pretty close.

I wast told u lose 25 ccs if it's under muscle I think 450 would be perfect for you but lots of girls here have boob greed after so if you don't mind the big boobielisious look 500 might be what your looking for
User Avatar
May 12, 2015
I think I'm pretty set on the 500. Now just to call and make an apt! Ah so nerve racking!
User Avatar
May 12, 2015
I know the feeling trust me ! I called and changed my size probably 4 times so then Peggy just ordered a few different sizes just in case I changed my mind again lol . But I think you will be happy with 500 a girlfriend of mine that's 5"8 but she looks like she doesn't eat lol . She's probably 120 and she got 450s and after the drop and fluff they actually looked very nice on her because of her height .

May 13, 2015
Haha I don't know why but I'm scared to call and tell them that I want to go bigger then what he recommended.
User Avatar
May 13, 2015
Why are you scared ? Because tryouts think they will get annoyed or your afraid of going bigger ? Don't worry about both just tell Peggy your having a hard time deciding and if she could order 450 and 500 and you will talk to the doc before your surgery .

The info should be on your device identification warranty card. If you didn't receive your ID card, make sure to ask for it at your next appointment. I got all my info/device card after my surgery, just before being wheeled out to the car.

I bet they're high profile...I've noticed Alberta surgeons favour the HP. Both the Edmonton surgeons I saw recommended them

May 6, 2015
i hope that they are but just not in my arm pit lol . What are you getting ?
User Avatar
May 6, 2015
High profile ...I didn't think I wanted that but after both surgeons recommending them based on my nonexistent breast tissue I guess it's the way to go! I'm not petite but I don't have a wide enough breast width to support enough cc's in the lower profiles. Even at moderate plus Id have to drop down to 350cc....I just hope I don't get bolt on beachballs!

HahahAh I know it's actually so scary becaus you never know how it will turn out in the end . I just suggest looking through before and after binder that most surgeons have so you can see what results he has achieved on the past .
