Sientra 315 Cc HP Transaxillary Unders - New Philadelphia, PA

Had my procedure yestersay 9/26/13 630 am. Got exactly the ccs I wanted 315 hp, suprisingly because it was up in the air before surgery bc I am so small 98 lbs 5'5 and bwd almost 12 w/small rib cage. Still have to see how they are in a few weeks. Will post before and afters. When with Sientra implants through armpit.

I am 25 years old, mother of a wonderful almost three year old son. I have been through alot these past few years including divorce and my son that was born with cancer and underwent 5 months of chemotherapy. He is healthy now, except some severe hearing loss which is treatable. I am still motivated to finish my bachleor's at my state university and graduate in May 2014 and hopefully go on to complete a master's program.

Despite all these setbacks, I have taken the time and effort to do something for myself. And the first thing on my list was a breast augmentation.

I researched and researched and researched. Ultimately I wanted my surgery done through the armpit because from having a previous c section I knew I do not scar well. If you google "endoscopic transaxillary breast augmentation nj" Dr. Adrian Lo's name is one of the first to appear. I looked into others, but stuck with Dr. Lo.

Ultimately he thought that high profile was best for me because I have such a tiny frame. I was on the fence because going hp meant a smaller bwd then what I am, almost 12cm, and I didn't want a gap because of that. However, I went with what he thought and chose Sientra's high profile.

At first he said 285cc was the max he thought I could go. However, yesterday on the day of the surgery the lady who actually speaks with patients about the size along side the ps was there and spoke to me more about what exactly I wanted. She works usually in the office but was on vacation when I went so never got to speak with her. So glad I did ! I changed my mind from full B, and wanted a small C. I was going to tell ps that I wanted at least 315 or 335, but didn't.

When I was slightly awake I heard, "they used 315 cc's" and I Iet out a big YeS! haha. I didn't want to be too small and they went with what I wanted without me telling them the size.

I was very out of it in the recovery room and slept nearly the entire almost 2 1/2 hours back home.

This is the end of my one day post op and I am feeling much better than I thought. Once I took off the compression bra and bandage off this morning they did not hurt that much. To the touch however my whole chest feels like a huge bruise. Also, I am able to move my arms much more than I thought for having a transaxillary procedure done. The incisions look scary at the moment but spoke to others who have had a ba with Lo and said they are healing better now. Also I advise to eventually use Silicone scar away strips. I used this on my healed c section scar almost a year later, and it completely flattened and slightly lightened the raised scar. It was amazing. I will post some before and after pictures in a next separate post.

Also my stats are
98lbs
5'5
bwd almost 12cm
25 years old
very, very thin frame (except when I get on a weight gain diet/workout and gain muscle on my legs)
