Been MIA, 3 months post op.
I can say I'm really happy with the results so far. I still have soreness/pain in my left breast and sometimes even now in my right. I don't know if it's from working out, or if it's the nerves healing. I emailed Yadira about my concern and she said its normal to feel pains for up to a year. I also spoke to a friend who got a BA about a year ago and she told me that she just recently stopped feeling those pains. I'm glad I have friends who have had BA's and I can run to advice for.
I hope my January ladies are progressing well. I need to check up on you girls!
Starting to feel like myself again
My scar tissue that's forming is also causing some pain and feels quite hard. Anyone have any advice on that? Or experienced it and how long it took to go away? I don't know if it's normal, but the scar from my femur surgery went through the same process, so I'm going to assume it's normal for scar tissue to become tough (I'm also a human biology major, so that's why I'm not so worried about doing too much research). I'm just try to massage out the scar tissue as best as I can to loosen it up.
Well, here are my photos. It seems to be going well. I am still a little high in the upper pole, but I'm massaging as much as I can and just being patient. I am DYING to go back to the gym, even if it's just to do some leg exercised without weights and stair master/ inclined farmers walk on the treadmill.
Hope all your ladies are doing well!
2 week post op
I took my steristrips out day 10, and I was really happy with the scars. I stopped wearing my strap (yayyyyy!) because I was told I didn't need to wear it anymore. Yadira has still been wonderful with any questions I have and in communicating with Dr. Freiman for me.
The extra pain that I've been feeling in my left boob has gone down a lot, but still a little sore. They are still riding high, but it's only been two weeks, and being patient is really difficult! Last night was the first night I fully slept on my side and it was WONDERFUL. I actually had a dent in my bed where my butt is when I sleep on my back. My husband is still wonderful. He massages my back when it's sore, helps with taking off shirts and has walked the dog two times a day (we usually split that duty).
I've been doing my massages and it feels weird to feel the pocket at the bottom open up. I freak out and think I'm doing it too hard and that I will bottom out. For anyone who's bottomed out, what does it feel like? I thought my left one was going to bottom out because it was just chronically sore and hurting, but the pain has subsided and it looks similar to my right breast. I worry a lot about all the things that could go wrong!
Provider Review
I had my consultation and surgery scheduled on the same day. I was told to come for 11am, and my surgery was at 1pm. I got there at 11am, filled out paperwork and waited about 5 minutes before I was taken to a room where I signed papers. I tried to read what I was signing, but it was pretty rushed. They also didn't have a copy of my husband's credit cards and ID, which I know I emailed at the time of payment in October, so I was forced to call him so that he could send the stuff. After signing all the papers they took my pre-op photos. The ladies were actually really nice, and tried to make the best of a busy office. After I was done, I was told to wait in the reception area to see where I was going to go. I waited about 2 seconds before I was escorted to my pre-op room and met with my nurse Julia. She put in my IV and changed into my gown. Maybe about 20 minutes, Dr. Freiman came in and discussed what I wanted. I told him I went to a consult in Toronto and liked the 475cc look. He gave me exactly what I wanted and told me what my breasts would look like after surgery. He drew on me and asked if I had any questions, explained how I would be feeling post-op and we made a few jokes with one another. He was quick to be in and out BUT he was not rushing me whatsoever. I feel like I did so much research that I was pretty knowledgeable and when you're in hungry and starving and nervous about surgery, you forget to ask certain questions. 10 minutes later the anesthesiologist came in and filled out her paper work. She was awesome and she really put me at ease. She brought me to the operating room and I was out. I woke up with boobs and was out shortly. I left the clinic at 3pm. I went in the next day for a post-op for 10am and again the wait was short. I did not get to see him again since he was in surgery. Overall, I'm happy with the whole process, except I wish I had had an actual consultation with Dr. Freiman and not half an hour before my surgery. If you go, make sure you schedule a consult a different day before your actual surgery. I was fortunate enough to have a consult in Toronto so I knew what I wanted.
