So far so good. I am still very swollen after 5 days. I had a breast lift, augmentation and mini tuck. The pain has been very manageable. The drainage tube is a pain but tolerable. I get it removed on Wednesday. My stomach looks 100 times better than before and I can only imagine how it will look once the swelling subsides.

I decided to have a breast lift with implants and a mini tummy tuck because I want to feel confident again. I'm happy with the result so far. Pain is very manageable with meds. I'm still very swollen 7 days post op and getting very itchy. I have an appointment on Wednesday hoping to have the drain removed.

Ok so I felt really good today. Cleaned the upstairs bathrooms, vacuumed, I actually enjoyed doing it. I found out very quickly that even though I feel ok, i'm not ready yet. I swelled up and feel cramps in my belly. Time to put my feet up and relax. I'm soooo tired of relaxing already. I can't wait to be fully recovered.

I just went for a consultation with Dr. Rose today! Can't believe I just saw your comment. I am going to schedule the same procedures that you had! Can't believe you are up and vacuuming! I was thinking of doing it in April but I have a lot of things going on this summer and thought I should wait till September...Any advice, how did the surgury go??

Honestly, I thought it was going to be a lot worse than it was. I will be going to see him tomorrow. He did a great job. My scar is super low and straight. Good Luck and go for it. His staff is super helpful too. Oh, he did a great job on my new boobs too. They were a mess. Pointing and hanging way down south-one much more than the other. He made them perfectly even. I'm very happy.

have you seen the before and after pics? I posted them but cannot find them in the review. I'll try to repose

I havent been able to see your pictures. They have availability on April 18 But that's the week before Easter Sunday Were you able to go out with the Drains on. Eat dinner at someone house?? Also what kind and what size implants did you go with?

March 29, 2011
You can go out with the drain. The only problem is it is hard to hide what's under your shirt. Very bulgy with the binder and drain. I don't know why my pics are not posting. I put a 5 day post op pic. I'll try reposting it. One week post is ok to walk around. Hard to sit and stand. Has to be done slowly. Walking isn't bad, a little hunched over. My implants were silicon 339cc. I'd say I'm a full c cup now. It all depends on the size you were before surgery. I was a very droopy deflated b cup before. Are you getting a full or mini tt?

March 29, 2011
I guess it all depends on if you want the people you are going to be with on Easter to know you had the procedure. If you want don't, then I would suggest waiting

Im going to have a mini tt with lipo...cant wait to see your picture good luck tomorrow

Hope all went well today at the doctor's appointment/// Sorry to keep asking questions Can I ask your age and how tall you are just trying to figure out size of implants I tried on 300cc I wear a c Bra and want to keep a full c cup maybe I should try on alittle bigger?

March 31, 2011
Went very well. Drain came out and feels so much better. Still swollen. About the implants.. When I was trying on the implants, I originally was going to go smaller but the nurse told me that most women wish they went one size bigger and that the difference in the next size up is only a shotglass more of silicone. Also, it depends on your size before surgery. A 339cc in small B will look very different in someone with a presurgery c-cup. The staff will help you make the best choice. I told then nurse about how you saw my post and u were there for consult, she said she wouldn't let anyone else but him performing surgery on her. Keep me posted on your decision.

I'm still trying to get these pics posted and it's NOT working. sooo frustrating. I'm dealing with the support staff to try to fix this.

March 31, 2011
And please feel free to ask me any questions about Dr. Rose or my procedure.
March 31, 2011
I will definitely use Dr Rose Its just a matter of when I called the office today and left a message to see if April 18 was still available. Did Dr Rose Mention anything to you about not sitting in the sun alot for a couple of months?? Thats one of the reasons my husband wants me to wait, besides we have our daughter sweet 16 in 4 months. Anyway, how does your belly button look..I saw someone comment that hers is to low now that she had a mini tt Good luck with the pictures!

March 31, 2011
My belly button looks great, it is actually round now. I did have a little loose skin above the belly button, but I can deal with it. I just didn't want to put myself through a full tt. Actually, when he pulled the sking down it helped reshape that area a little. My belly button before surgery looked like a frown and now its round again. He knows what to do. My incision is a little longer than a lot of the other mini tt I have seen on the sight. I really am super happy I did it. I think for the first time in a loooooong time I will be able to wear a normal bikini and not a high waisted one. I'm so happy about that. As far as the sun goes, no he didn't mention anything about the sun after only not to tan before. I guess if you go to a tanning salon it would be bad to go in naked because of the new scars. I wouldn't do that anyway. Some of the pics i've seen really scared the hell out of me and made me nervous about doing it. This is why you have to make sure you use a reputable surgeon. Talk to you soon. Hopefully the date is still open for you. He seems to book up really fast. Today when I went in the waiting room was FULL. I guess that's a good thing.

It's me again! I think I can have the mm on April 11... Just wanted to ask you about the price did you pay 11,900 including facility, anesthia and tax??? Sorry to be so nosy but they quoted me 16,000 for everything Thought it was a big difference for the same procedure
