Before/After

Just found these pics I took during the first week post op...

4 weeks post lift

They seem to have dropped :(
Not unexpected but still would've been nice to have them higher.
I never feel uncomfortable in a bra anymore. Usually I was always aware of the underwire digging in somewhere, and couldn't wait to take off my bra at night. Now I can wear one 24 hours straight and forget I even have it on! It's such a great feeling.
Lipo bloating is mostly gone in the legs but still hanging out around my waist and hips.
Resumed yoga and pilates last week.

3 weeks out

Pictures from three weeks out. Dr Hidalgo told me I needed to decide between a higher lift and larger areolae, or a not as high lift but larger areolae. I chose the first. Additionally, he told me my breasts are not perfectly symmetrical, and he can make them the same size but doesn't believe in forcing them to point a different way. I still have some scabs, but overall I got more than the results I expected, and I am happy.

Dr. Hidalgo has a reserved, down to business demeanor. His waiting room is always full and I could tell he had a lot of patients to get to and didn't want to spend too much time in consultations. Despite this I felt like he is a perfectionist who would do the surgery the right way. He's a trained artist, and his drawings all over the office show that he has an artistic eye and incredible attention to detail. Even though he wasn't the warmest doctor I saw, I felt like in the end, I didn't need my surgeon to be chummy with me, I needed the person who would do the job the best way possible. He is the only person to perform his surgeries, he doesn't have aides do stitching or assist with liposuction like some other doctors. When it came to what I needed to have done, he was very conservative in telling me what he could do. Maybe he didn't want to disappoint me, but he made it clear it might not be possible to achieve exactly what I wanted. It was a little upsetting initially, but in the long run, I'm glad my hopes were not unrealistic. After the consult, the surgical aide says he always talks himself down and then does an incredible job, and everyone who comes to him looks amazing and NATURAL afterward. I'm only 5 days post op but based on how little bruising I'm experiencing, and how straight and perfect my stitches are, I can see that he was very gentle in performing the surgery. He is definitely not cheap! And with all the extras- anesthesia, surgical fees, pictures, and surgical supplies, it really adds up to a lot. But if you go with him, you are in the hands of someone who does excellent work and no less.
