WORTH IT
I was reviewing breast transfer procedures on real self. Dr. Shorrt had comment on a previous post. I checked out his profile/website and decided to go for a consultation. I was glad that he actually conducted the consultation. I've been to one where the Dr.'s assistant did the initial one. He was very easy to talk , to express your concerns. He was very knowledge. Some doctors are in rush to explain things. "You don't get a second chance to make a first impression" . I felt very comfortable right away. I knew I wanted him to be my surgeon.

Prior to week 9..
The day of surgery wasn't that bad. I was expecting some crazy pain, but whatever medicine i took right before surgery was excellent. I didn’t take not one pain killer at all during my recovery. I just took maximum strength Tylenol about 24 hours after surgery, just in case the medicine I took pre surgery wore off. I can honest say I took only about 4 pills during the first two weeks. (I am not a fan of pills)…
I would say the most difficult part of the recovery for me was sleeping. I don’t think I got good night rest until week 5/6. I am not a back sleeper.
9-weeks
i am still swollen mostly at night time. I read most of the swollen goes away about 12 -14 weeks. I may have to do my lipo flanks or exercise...( let's see who wins that battle..lol). I still wear my binder during the days and when i work-out.
my scar treatment is coming along great. I wear the silicone treatment and bio oil. For being dark skin my scar looks amazing. Dark skin people tend to have thicker scars... So far you can hardly tell...(bonus)....
