This is it. Just done with my final appointment before the big day. Lots of negative thoughts coming through my head. I guess this is normal but most of all I am very excited. I am going to get the "tear drop" silicon shape because of my 5ft height. Any advice what to bring with me at the surgery day other than wearing a loose top?.. I am having my incisions in my arm pits to prevent bad scar under my breast.

I will keep you up to date with my before and after pics right after my surgery :)

Thanks Xoxo

Hi i am filipina and i will be having mine in thailand this october 30..been stalking here for a couple of months.to gain some knowledge and tips from gurls that had their results. how many cc you decided to go for? Im gunna have 300cc hp..textured silicon cohesive gel by natrelle..so far from our pre opt we should prepare
* surgical bra
* surgical band
* lip balm or chapstick
* button shirt
* pajamas or gartered shorts
* bring 1 or 3pcs of bend straw for drinking
* socks
* wet tissue
* water ( very impt.)

So far thats all i want to prepare bringing with me.anyways we only stay for 1 night at the hospital and can go back home after..and continue healing at home.
goodluck to your BA soon...will let you know what else you should need to bring and what to do after had mine done on nov.30..:)

Hope u okay and best of luck..kabayan..

Day of treatment

Day 1 post-op

Day 1 is the most horrible experience I guess. Everything went fast one thing I knew I was awake from the operating room already. But took time for me to recover. I expected to be home right after the surgery but stayed in the recovery room for another 6hrs lol. Sorry my pain tolerance is not that good lol. I was so nauseated and couldn't walk right away, I wonder how they could manage to drive right after a Breast Augmentation. I was vomiting and feels so heavy in the chest.

Sleeping is the most challenging, I couldn't lie down flat on my back and I ended up sleeping while sitting in the couch. Dont forget the bendy straw and pile of pillows for your back :)

I feel a little bit better today but still can't eat by myself. Chest is still tight but the vomiting is gone. I just think my implants are small at this time. I hope to see more improvements when it drops.

Hi

I think auxillary is the best because areola is quite risky due to lots of nerve endings in there. Mine feels better at day 2 and still gettin bigger as it drops lol. I can't use my arms to lift or eat because it's in the armpits. It's advisable you'll have your own carer with you 24/7 cuz I can't even move my butt to change my position while sitting
