Amazing Experience Days 1-4

AMAZING experiences. I am 5'8 140lb and am 4 days post op with 450CC allergen silicone gel implants done by Dr. Roman on 2-5-2021

Everyone at Liposuction and Plastic Surgery Institute from the Receptionists to Dr. Roman himself are so sweet, professional, accommodating, competent and communicative. Dr. Roman knew exactly the look I was going and made sure that I would achieve it. I get extremely anxious and am a hypochondriac but he never rushed through any of my ridiculous questions, got annoyed with me, or condescended me at all. Also, Jessica the surgery coordinator, was always available when I called to answer questions I had as well. She always was exceptionally patient and took time to explain everything calmly no matter how ridiculous and anxiety ridden I was. Both were very reassuring and calmed my nerves big time which can be downright impossible sicne my anxiety surrounding medical procedures can be very overwhelming at times.


The day of surgery, I took a COVID test upon arrival, took pictures, and was prepped for surgery immediately afterwards. I had never gone under general anesthesia before and was super nervous but I was asleep almost immediately after the IV was put in. When I woke up in the recovery room, my pain level was 7/10 and the gave me more IV pain meds upon my request because it was pretty bad at that point. After eating some crackers, a nutrigrain bar, and drinking some gatorade, I took a Norco and a Valium, fell asleep for a few hours(I think) until my boyfriend was able to pick me up. I experienced a tiny bit of nausea but thankfully didn't vomit even after I went home. Both nurses were super patient and attentive and helped me with everything I needed as I was still in a lot of pain. I'm thankful that the worst of the pain was experienced while I was still in the surgery center because by the time I got home, I was moving around cautiously with ease and help from my boyfriend.

Day 2- I slept most of the day and didn't move around much except to be driven to the store. My pain level was about 3/10 but I was getting tired pretty easily and wound up sleeping upright almost all day and night. No nausea or vomiting. I showered with ease as well

Day 3- Pain level was 2/10 mostly soreness. Similiar soreness as if I did a really hardcore workout. I suspect sleeping upright had more of an effect on that than anything since I am naturally a side sleeper. I only needed half a norco and half a valium to run some errands(with help since I was instructed not to lift over 3lbs) and was able to go to a socially distanced baby shower without any sort of discomfort.

Day 4- barely any pain. I took half a valium so I could move around a bit easier but I would say I'm at about 2/10 on the pain scale still. My breasts look considerably less swollen and are not painful to the touch at all.

I will update with pictures after my 1 week post op appointment
