Breast Augmentation Storyline - Oklahoma City, OK

Tuesday June 19th was the date of my breast...
WORTH IT$3,600
Tuesday June 19th was the date of my breast augmentation, today is Friday July 20th! Just a little over my ONE MONTH POST OP!! I had my 3 week visit July 11th and my surgeon said I no longer have to wear my strap and I am almost ready to continue my everyday normal activity (including running, mowing, ect) I don't have to go back until August 8th for the 1-month check-up. She had also said that at my 3 week mark I have a really good recovery and that they are doing better than expected so I can already do minimul arm excersizes enough to not have me so sore the next day. I have started using Mederma cream two days ago and so hopefully this helps with the scar healing. Iam also still taking the 800au of Vitamin E a day and massages. I am so happy with my new breasts, the shape, set, everything! Evebnmy boyfriend of almost 1 year has been extremely supportiveand helpfull through this process, and he loves them! By 6-8 weeks my surgeon said I should be having no troubles with activity. I am so glad I followed through with this surgery. I will be posting an updated picture in a few days when I can connect my camera to the laptop.

Happy 4th everyone! This is my 2 week (15th day)...
Happy 4th everyone! This is my 2 week (15th day) post-op review! My breasts are doing so great! Last week during my 1st week post-op visit, my surgeon said that they are going well and the timing is great. I have to wear the strap still and it is helping a lot with the dropping. My breasts are still very firm, and I am still doing the cream when I wake up and before bedtime. Does anyone else have any suggestions towards helping with the firmness and the dropping? I would just like to know from other stories! I have been barely using my muscles as told from the surgeon except for occasional lifting and et, from the job and at home. I can say now that from just wearing a tank top, my chest looks normal again! I will post a picture in the next week!

Yes I am to massage at least once a day for 5 minutes. She didn't say how to exactly and it left my mind to ask. So I have just done circular motions inward on the tops, bottoms, and sides. Slighty massage them inward and out, up and down. How did you do it?

You take your hand on the outside and push in and up and on top and go down bottom going up but don't do it to hard and when your going bottom up be careful so you don't hurt your stitches . And on the in side going out . Up down in and out !

TYours look a lot like mine do. I am 10 days po and am getting very discouraged. I guess I was expecting them to look more round. I wish you a speedy recovery!

they will drop give them a good three months for them to look normal..My doctor told me to avoid carrying anything more than 5 lbs for at least a month. and i massage them 4 times a day. Also after the second week I was told to lay on my belly for about 15 mins. I wasn't able to do it due to the stitched hurting but I tried doing it a couple minutes at a time. Good luck and thanks for keeping us posted :)

TODAY IS ONE WEEK post-op from surgery! Tomorrow...
TODAY IS ONE WEEK post-op from surgery!
Tomorrow I go to my first check up and I am excited with my recovery. My first few days honestly were a wreck
and I really hated not getting sleep, getting sick from the medication, carefully doing everything, that part is the worst!
The past 3 days though have been great for me. I actually have probably done more than I should! I'm already driving
and carrying groceries without any hurt or problem! I am still sleeping on my back for the sake of implant placement
and wearing the strap ALL the time except for shower and sleep. I hate that thing lol. Anyways, My breasts have
softened up almost back to normal I'm excited as well as the placement/direction of the nipples. The swelling has
been depleted and now all I am worried about is the dropping of the breasts and the incision area healing.
It still hurts when I am sitting and try to twist around my upper body because of the incision and the steri-strip
tape that is still intact. I am currently using Palmer's cocoa butter stretch mark cream because it is nourishing
and recommended for BA from others. Also I have began the past few days massaging the breast as well as the
entire area around so it can drop and relax, I have been in sports for years so making care of muscles is no biggie!
I have posted a picture of my breasts as of today, I will make another update in a few more days or a week!

I have to say your breast were PERFECT before the surgery I wouldn't have changed anything at all about them. They were round, full, perky, and your nipples were the perfect shape/size. Seeing your outcome makes me think twice about even thinking of getting implants. If I could get results like your before picture I would do it so fast lol. But I'm glad you are happy with the new ones at least guess that is what is most important ;)

Thank you, yes I have liked them before I just wanted to be a little more fuller and honestly they aren't too much bigger, only one single cup size larger! The after picture you see is not the final result. They have several weeks left of dropping before they look like the breasts they are supposed to look like. I would definitely research and give yourself all the reasons why and why not to get surgery, It's a big decision and going under the knife. I am happy with what I did and totally support people about their reasons against it. :)
