Aaaaaaaaahhhhh! I'm flying from Canada to Miami this coming Thursday for a BA. I'm 5'6", around 118lbs, and a very small 32A, deflated, sad, boobs after nursing 5 babies. So I am beyond stoked to have BOOBS!!
So far my experience with CG has been good, my coordinator is Blanca and she always gets back to me via email or phone.

Thank you! I'm being very proactive about all the details, and mostly from other girls like you who have shared your experiences... It's invaluable

I didn't request a time for NY surgery they just ended giving me a early appointment. I had a 7:00am surgery but I had to be there at 6:30 and I was done about 9 but they kept me until 10.

How was it? How was your recovery?

It wasn't as bad as I expected honestly. I didn't really feel any pain until a few hours if being home. As far as recovery I'm 6 days post op. I had my surgery Saturday July 30 and by Tuesday August 02 I was almost back to my old self. When I first got home doing simple things seemed to be extremely hard and I would cry because I felt so dependant. Like going to the bathroom was a nightmare because it was already hard moving throughout the house by myself but when it came to having to pull my clothes up and down and even wiping myself was hard. My husband literally had to do everything for the 1st two days. I can say everyone body is different so what was hard for me might be easy for you but I guess it depends on you pain tolerance level as well. I will suggest buying a back pillow and when you buy your surgical bra(s) keep in mind you may have to get them two band sizes up. My incisions are under my boob so getting them a size up was discomforting because they still felt tight. I brought one from CG cosmetics and it didn't provide no type of comfort and it would leave imprints from the bra in my boob's and they told me the size I needed was a 36 I had to go buy a different one from Meijers

I will for sure keep this updated! Pre-op tomorrow! One plus- my doctor missed one blood test, and they will do it there for me, and no charge! Definitely freaked over medical costs in the US

Wow, I can't believe it's all done already!!!! I'm feeling amazing, I'm
actually shocked at how great I feel. My family doctor revised the prescription Dr Krau gave me to slightly more tame Tylonel 3 for pain, no antibiotics, no muscle relaxant, no strong anti nausea... I've taken one gravol post op and have no nausea.
And I'm able to move around very easily, although I'm staying in bed so I don't over do it. I can even lift my arms as far as my collar bone with no issue!
So Coral Gables is definitely a no nonsense, tightly run place, no time spent coddling their patients! Saying that though, they are very friendly, everyone I met.
My pre op meeting with Dr Krau lasted about 2 minutes, but looking back at it there was no need to spend more time with him, as one of the girls helped me with sizers.
I ended up going with 425 cc's instead of the 300 I originally thought I would... As you can see from the before pic I had literally no breast tissue left.

And I am thrilled with the size!!!! Especially once they soften and settle, I think they'll look fairly natural.

These pics were taken about 3 hours post op

What profile did you go with?
August 10, 2016
I actually had to look that up, from my implant warranty card! I have Allergan Natrelle style 20, which is High Profile :) they don't use Mentor at coral gables
August 10, 2016
Your height and weight are similar to me and and I'm pretty sure I'll have to get high profile too in order to get the size I want .
August 13, 2016
Hey being from Canada, I wanted to ask you how did it all work out for the medication? Did Dr. Krau gave you all the presided medication before hand and you bought it all in Canada? Or the opposite? Any information can help. I appreciate it xoxo

Did you go with silicone or Saline ?
October 12, 2016
Silicone

Did you get high profile or ultra high profile.my ba is in a couple days and I'm yet to pick a profile..between high and ultra..
October 12, 2016
High profile. My surgeon didn't actually ask what I wanted, but did tell me that I should trust his expertise!
