After breastfeeding 3 children and recent weight...
WORTH IT$22,000
After breastfeeding 3 children and recent weight loss of 24 kilos my breasts were left sagging and empty. I first consulted Dr Craig Rubinstein 4 years ago but the timing wasn't right. Finally made the decision to go ahead this year. Surgery was in April and today I am almost at the 8 week mark. I must admit the process has been more painful than I imagined. I woke from surgery feeling no pain but very nauseaus, turns out the morphine i had via an IV made alot of people sick. The biggest issue I had was the inability to use my arms. I had no idea they would be useless for a few days and everyday tasks that involved pushing were impossible. I was on pain killers Panadol and Endone, which is a form of Morphine to help me sleep as well as a course of anti-biotics. Sleeping was definately an issue as I'm a side sleeper and theres no way I could have rolled over. 7 weeks in and I'm only just being about to sleep on my side now! I'm lucky I've had family and friends to look after me as I imagine my recovery has been on the slower side whilst still falling in the range of normal. My implants were placed under the muscle and I'm told this is the reason for some added pain. I almost didn't get the implants but one of my issues was no fullness in the upper pole especially in a bra, I was rolling myself up and stuffing myself into a D cup. I am now a D to DD cup and this is perfect for me as I didn't want anyone to see I'd had the implants, just wanted to look better naked and in lingerie. I must admit I've had a few days where I've really considered whether I would do this again but the answer is always a resounding yes. It's a slow process but I am starting to be really happy with my results and am confident they will continue to get better. Good luck to anyone going in for their surgery and please if you have any questions I'm happy to answer x

Fraxel day week 8
Well today was "fraxel laser" day. I was so nervous as everyone says how painful it is. I was given some numbing cream from my lovely PS and had to apply it an hour beforehand. I then wrapped my breasts in glad wrap. Anyway I was worried for nothing! The laser machine blew cold air at the time of the laser and I thought it was just in preparation. The nurse then said ok get dressed. I had no idea it had even happened. So relieved I almost hugged her! Some itching since and feel a bit sun burnt without the tropical holiday ????????. Now I'm expecting some flaking and peeling and after two more sessions hopefully have flat, almost invisible scars.
Hope everyone else is doing well ????

You look absolutely great! I am curious to know what size you were before the 250 cc implants. I am also thinking of doing the same thing and going with the same size implant... I hope I can get similar results. Also, do you know what type of implant you have? Are they "mentor" and "moderate plus" for example? Thanks for your information.

Hi
Sorry for slow reply. They are mentor and moderate profile. I could have gone bigger but I really wanted to be the same size in a bra. I was a 10 D or 10DD and I'm the same now. The difference is before I was an empty cup and could put my fist I the top of the Bra. Now I'm a really full size. They're exactly what I wanted. All the best to you. I'm sure you'll have a fab result x

Thanks for your info. I'm downsizing my implants from 400cc mod to 250cc mod plus and getting a lift. I hope my results look as good as yours.

Thankyou so much! It's a long road full of "do I look OK" so that's lovely to hear. I'm sure you'll be happy as well.

You're looking great. I'm due to get the same sized implant with a lift, with Dr Rubinstein. Can't wait to see your progress!

That's fantastic! He's wonderful. I'm just about to have my second Fraxel which you will have as well. Makes scars red but I hope after time this changes. Mine look bigger naked but the same in a bra which is what I wanted. Recovery was slow but getting there. Good luck - you're in great talented hands !
