6 days away from my BA in Mississauga with Dr Lista. I live about three a
Hours away from the clinic so I am staying with a friend for my first week post op

Any tips to do before hand and to have on hand?

My current bra size is 34B and am hoping that 345cc is enough for a nice full breast I'm not going for size, I'm going for shape

Thank you in advance for any help!

Thanks!
Good Luck to you! I'm also doing an absurd amount of prep. It's kind of fun for me because I like to be organized. We will have to keep in touch as we recover!

Hey! I had my surgery with Dr lista in October. I have under the muscle cohesive gel thru the armpit. I went with 560cc. I was about a 34B Before now (at the moment) I'm about 34DD. It's going to be hard and painful the first 6 or 7 days but by day 8 you'll wake up feeling much much better. Have lots of lower back support because you'll be spending most of your time in bed. It gets hard on your back. Have snacks by the bed to eat wth your painkillers. They are very powerful and will make you pass out if you take them on an empty stomach
I learned that the hard way. Just hang in there you're gonna feel a lot of weird pains but it's all normal and by week 4 you'll feel fantastic and on your way.

Thanks so much for the advice! Dr Lista did a great job on your breasts! I'm super pumped yet super nervous. Where did you purchase scar cream and what brand?

I am sorry to hear. I can only offer advice with the augmentation. Stay positive. Surround yourself with the things you enjoy over the next few weeks and listen to what your surgeon says. Your surgeon knows what's best for your specific situation and has your best interest in mind.
Having a strong support system will help as well. Parter, family member, friend....someone who you can depend on during the first two weeks to keep your spirits high.
Goodluck on your journey!
You'll find a lot of support on RealSelf...there are a lot of great people on here

Ok so it's day #3. My breast are high and hard! I'm very tender and sore but that's about it. I haven't experienced any nausea since surgery... Except for today. Today my girlfriend, who is a personal support worker, washed my hair and my incision site. I think from seeing my incision it made my stomach upset. I'm fine now. My incisions look great though!

I am going to post a few pics now. I'll take a few good ones later this week.
