Breast Augmentation 12 Hours Ago and I Feel Great - Manhattan, NY

9 days post op

WORTH IT$9,900
Tired but wanted to write an update.... Still feeling great. Sore. Tight. But mild discomfort overall. Went to Dr. Kolker today for post op... He and his staff are just so incredible. I am their biggest fan! Truly. He took my bandages off and my scars look great. Enclosing pictures. I mean they are scars so they are ugly but for 9 days, I feel like the wounds look alright. Honestly, I think my results and my mild discomfort are because of the drs skill, technique, and pre and post care! I am so glad I didn't go bigger with my implants and let dr. Kolker choose which looked "prettiest." I'm starting displacement exercises today ... Ouch.

He was an expert, a pure genius! I trusted him from the start. Dr. Kolker was my 4th consultation and it was a no brainer. He talked me through everything!! All of his augmentations on the website look so natural. I actually wanted more upper pole and liked higher profile. I wanted to be a full c. I had all of these ideas regarding ccs and he was like listen ... "Forget about ccs, forget about size. How do you want to look?" I tried on a lot of implants. It's so hard to tell and I was overwhelmed at every doctor. With dr. Kolker he was like "I'm going to choose while you're on the operating table. We will try a few and whatever's beautiful and he prettiest, is what I'll choose. I loved that! I relinquished the power and totally trusted him. On the day of the surgery he chose 325ccs high profile and when I woke up from surgery I looked amazing!! I couldn't believe it. My friends were like "you're photoshopped, you can't look like this after waking up." Dr. Kolker came in and told me what he chose. The nurse said they tried 350 and it looked way too high and ridiculous. They lifted me up and was like "no way." Haha I wouldn't have wanted bigger. It's funny the first surgeon, highly respected, wanted to do 400 cc and insisted that it was the only way to go to get the desired look. The second surgeon, said 350, I like her a lot but the office didn't do blood work prior to surgery and I thought that was strange. Thing is, actually when they did my blood work I actually had an infection, a uti, so my white cell count was high. He gave me antibiotic and redid my blood work before surgery to make sure I was ok or it would have to have been rescheduled. Anyway, I'm barely in pain ... Doctor had me take a weeks worth of homeopathic remedies. I also have a skew of pain killers but I don't neeed any of then ... Just extra strength Tylenol is fling the truck. Plus, I was petrified id look awful ... And from the second I saw my breasts I knew I made the right decision. I wasn't planning on writing a review but Kolker was the only surgeon I went to who wasn't personally recommended. I just googled him actually. My girlfriends came over last night and they were like in awe of how natural they look! Hope my review is helpful! Good luck!

hi, thank you for sharing. keep us posted on how you recovery. by looking at your pre op pic, i can tell you are a good BA candidate. i read most ppl are in pain for first few days post op and won't be able to lift the arms. how do you feel now? congrats again on great work! :)
Well today is Wednesday. I showered ... Washed my hair no problem. I can lift my hands above my head and get things above the refrigerator. I feel really good. The hardest part is getting out of bed in the morning. I'm barely even taking Tylenol. Two tablets every 8 hours.
what's your cup now? 32C or D? you used 325cc right? I am browsing realself today and found miami BA is much cheaper than nyc. only around $3000 with good results. not sure if i should travel there now....
No idea what size I am yet. Sorry.

I did research online before I read your post. He is a popular breast surgeon in new york. are you good case of recovery or everyone else recover quickly because this surgeon's great technique? Also, do you mind posting your pre op pictures? I had consulted with several different PS in new york this month. the implant size they telling me range from 225-350cc! It's really hard for me to make a decision. I want to have it asap. How did you find this doctor? there is a long line waiting for him, is it? i remember i called his office....
I'll post a pre op pic. He was the only surgeon I found randomly by searching online. The others came recommended by people I Knew. It's a busy office but my first consult with him was beginning of feb... I knew I wanted him to do it that day so I took the available slot. It happened to work out that he didn't go away presidents weekend so I was able to have it Monday. I'm not sure how everyone heals but they said "everyone's different ... Some people just need Tylenol" and I was one of those people. I'm interested to hear another story about this so keep me posted if you choose him. I'll post pre op pic now. Good luck! Just let him choose ccs, if I chose I would've def picked 350 and the nurse said they didn't look nice at all. Too big and too high!
What homeopathic remedies did you take to reduce swelling and bruising?
