i was a C cup before i had my baby, while i was breastfeeding i went up to a D almost a DD but that didntast long. Soon after i stopped breastfeeding i went from WOWZA to NOTHING. Ive been debating for an augumentation for abt a year now and researched the heck out of all of the top surgeons in minnesota. I compared pictures and their procedures and Dr. Gervais's work was exactly what i was looking for. When i went in for my consult, Jill and Dr. Gervais made sure they answered all of my questions and i was sold. I made my surgery appt before i left his clinic. Their team is amazing, his anesthician was awesome; i was extrememly concern being put under and i was finish before i could even remember. Recovery has been so awesome, i was able to walk around and do LIGHT dishes on my second day of recovery. He prescribes me with non inflammatory, antibiotics, muscle relaxer and nausea to eased the pain, i slept through the first night like a beast. This has been one of the best decision ive made! Thanks Dr. Gervais!

So i am on my 4th day post op and recovery has been going great. Swelling has gone down a lot and im starting to feel like it might b too big for my figure, but im still keeping an open mind knowing that they will have to drop into place. I still feel slightly numb under my breasts where the incisions took place, my nipple is numb as well. I didnt notice a lot of air inside the pockets, stitches are itching like crazy right now, and ive been so tempted to remove the tape off myself because my skin is feeling really tight in them and i just want to rip my skin off. But other than the itchiness and numbness i am back to my daily activities, cooking, doing dishes, washing my hair. Im in love with them already!!

You look great!! Plus, you're right about the implants dropping. And you're still really early PO, so you most likely have lots of swelling that will go down in the next few weeks.

Thanks hun. My husband says that they r a lil big on me too, but i reassured him after the swelling and dropping they will good. And ive been freaking myself out with topics like bottoming out, And capsular contractor!! I pray to lord everything will b fine

I know the feeling lol. I'm sure you will be fine though. It seems like your surgeon really knows what he is doing.

New bra today!!
tam_tran0229August 19, 2015
So I went in this morning to have the tape remove and my stitches are looking really good. My left breast isnt as sore as yesterday but the sharp pain is still there, hopefully it goes away by tmrw. And the nurse said for one to be more sore than the other is normal, so im not too worried about that. I went shopping for sports bra and such, i found this cami bras works way better than sports bra because theyre not too tight and theyre good for support and still no underwire yet, and they come in nude vs sports bra dont! The swelling has decreased a bit now, and my right is starting to feel like my own breast. Thats it for today im going to shower and cuddle with my princess now. Goodnight ladies!!

Looking fantastic!! Glad you found a bra you like! It is really tough to find sports bras that don't show under your clothes. My dr said I could wear underwire bras now (6 weeks post) but I don't want to buy one since I'm wanting to get a revision to go up in size in about 6 weeks!
August 19, 2015
How many cc's are u shooting for? I hope it all works out for u! The bras i bought are like sport bras but i sopposed theyre meant to b worn with camis, i just looked around in the lingerie area and found them.
August 19, 2015
I've been wearing these not so cute wireless bras that are for nursing! At least they don't have a racer back so that works better for some clothes.
I have 440 HPs and want 550s. I had originally planned on getting them but got nervous at the last minute and changed. I've regretted it!

What size did you get? I looked back at your posts but didn't see it.
August 19, 2015
I wore a nursing bra today from when i breastfed my princess but it was irritating my left breast (the one that is more sore and numb) so i went and bought new bras.
Awww what did your surgeon say abt revision and what abt the cost? What size bra are u now? if u dont mind me asking!

I was a 32C pre op and a 32DDDD or 32DDD now. My surgeon is a doll along with an amazing dr! He's going to do it for free! I have an appointment on October 3 or 4 and we'll discuss it then. I can't wait!!
August 19, 2015
Thats so great to hear. Nobody should have to pay a huge amount of money to have something redone that didnt make them happy on the first try. I wish u the best and im sure with your knowledgable surgeon ur results will b phenomenon
August 19, 2015
Thanks! And once again you're boobs look amazing especially for so early!! Have a great night :-)
August 22, 2015
hi, what size implants are you/??
August 22, 2015
Hi I've a question for you! After taking the tape off does it itch in the incision area? like mine got red looks like I got allegic reaction and it itches so much. I was just wondering is it only me or its normal to have it
August 23, 2015
No the stitches were itching while i had my tape on and after they took remove the tape it was fine. But it doesnt hurt to call and ask ur surgeon im pretty the professional will b able to tell u. My dr recommended taking bennadril if it did start to itch but so far its been great. Goodluck
August 24, 2015
Oh okay thank you very much. Mine looks like I got allergic reaction to it. I'm gonna see my surgeon this week :) thanks again
