Long Dream went wrong
ORIGINAL POST
Long Time Dream, Finally Here.
I've been waiting very long time to do this. I've been a member on RealSelf since 2016 and been watching everybody doing this procedure and still was hesitant about doing it. A lot of reviews were not very pleasant, but a lot were very nice and with very beautiful results.
Very unexpectedly I came across this Center called "Plus (+)(+) Breast Augmentation Center" and prices on their website were shockingly affordable. Free consultation also was a plus for me to go and check it out. So, after consultation I am signing up for a surgery in 2 weeks. 2 weeks later, and here I am, having a surgery at this beautifully equipped center with Dr. Globerman. Excellent doctor with over 30 years of experience. I loved the way I was treated. His support team was very caring and made me feel like royalty. Their anesthesiologist is very high professional and he even shared with me his impressive experience. Everyone was very professional including every single person on board. Now I am 1 week post-op, and the only complain I have is - I can't sleep on my side. Need to sleep on my back. Shape at the moment is not a final result, implants will be dropping, moving, settling, making home in my boobies :) Plus swelling is still an issue and skin feels very tight. Learning from other experiences they should be very nice looking in about 3-6 months. I will be posting my progress, and of course a lot of pictures.

10 days after surgery
Healing is in process. No major problems I can report. The only thing I don't like is very numb/tingly sensation on both of my sides under my arms. As you see on the pictures, scars had to go farther under my armpits, because my "before" boobs were folding that far under my arms, and doctor had to tapered kind of thing, just like a fabric :) Other than that - bruising is very minimal, I use for scars twice a day Bacitracin, because I can't use Neosporin. I think it is really help to keep my scars nice and with minimal issues. I do have very small leakage at the T junction under my right breast. Some kind of yellowish liquid with hint of blood. Doc said - not to worry, all normal. Another down side is that I need to sleep on my back elevated - helps swelling to come down faster. I am not a back sleeper, so it's killing me. I have to take Tylenol PM every night to get myself to sleep thru the night.

Hi!! Looking great. You look really great at just 11 days. Your results are going to be phenomenal. You doctor did a really good job . You will go through a series of weird sensations under your arms, on your breasts, in your breasts, on your skin. It's just a journey,,,all the healing. But,,its worth it. I understand the sleeping thing. I HATED having to sleep elevated. Im a tummy sleeper,,,,and I just hated sleeping sitting up. Again,,,,,,the end result is totally worth it!! LOL!! Hang in there. Its a journey. Thank You for sharing it with us! Happy Healing!

Hi there, you know that you are the girl which story I was reading long time ago, and then when I decided to do a procedure I was looking for your post to see all the tips you were giving. I am so happy we connected :))) So great to have someone to talk to, who been thru the same thing. As of right now I can tell you that those boobs doesn't feel mine, they feel like aliens on my body :D, very hard, uncomfortable, I even afraid of them :))), because you are so restricted with your motions and things you can do. Like freaking eggshells. I think Doc said about 3-6 weeks before swelling will come down. How much did it take you for swelling to come down? I know everyone is different, but still. BTW, I absolutely love you results! I wonder if mine will look similar...
July 3, 2018
Hello! I hope my story can/will help you in some way. Its a journey,,,but in my opinion, very worth it. Yes,,,how you feel is normal. Totally normal. For the first several weeks I felt like I had two aliens on my body. I was also afraid of them. They just seemed like giant beach balls, or watermelons stuck to the front of me. As the days go by, you will be able to move your arms more. I don't know if you can put your arms up over your head yet, but if not, you will soon. For me, the swelling took a couple of months to come down completely. But, yes, everybody is different.Thats one of the reasons why they say to not buy new bras for a couple months after surgery. I did, in fact, buy bras, and had to exchange most of them after my breasts settled. The swelling needs to come down, and your breasts need to drop/fluff. I promise that you will get use to your new additions. They will become part of your body, and you wont even notice them anymore. They will become soft, and feel just like real breasts. I didnt believe they would feel soft, and squishy after surgery. They seemed so hard, and high up. I just trusted my PS, and all the girls here on RealSelf. And they were right. Your results will look phenomenal. You already look so, so good for just being 11, or 12 days post op. So, you will look better, and better as you heal. Your doctor did a fantastic job on you. I feel very happy with my results. I did my homework, picked an experienced surgeon (like you have), and followed his post op instructions. Your boobs will look amazing. They already do!!! Take care, and Happy Healing!!! :) Let me know if you have any other questions. :)

You are such a sweetheart. Thank you for chatting with me. As the matter of fact I can lift my arms, no problem, I did that on my 2nd day after surgery, lol, I didn't know I shouldn't, I tried and they went up :D When I came to see doctor on my second day, nurse was trying to help me to undress, and I just lift my arms and took my shirt off. She looked at me like I was a superwoman or something :))) She asked me if it hurt, and I sad - no, I feel fine. I drove to work on my 5th day, it was Monday, and I went back to work. It is just desk work, so I was ok. Doc warned me that driving might hurt, and I maybe shouldn't, but I tried and I was ok. So I guess I am getting easier than other girls, but I still have issues of course. You know I have very low fever almost every day, around evening time. Have to take Tylenol to make me feel better. Geez, hope time will fly fast and I can start enjoying my new boobies faster. My husband already does, for him is like he's got a new girl in the house :D He is so silly...

You are so lucky!! Your body must heal very quickly!!! That would explain how your incisions look so great, so early on. I couldnt raise my arms for like two weeks. I couldnt drive, or anything. Thats why the nurse looked at you like you are Superwoman!! LOL! Because its really rare to be able to raise your arms, and stuff so quickly. I hope your low fever goes away soon. Im sure its just your body working at healing you up. The husbands are so funny about the new boobs. They become so excited,,,it IS like there is a new girl in the house!! Mine acted funny too. LOL! Men!! LOL. Before you know it, you will be enjoying your new breasts!! Im always available to talk...if you have any questions. Take care!!! :)

2 weeks post-op update
Hello everyone, today is 2 weeks since my surgery and everyday I discover new sensations and new feelings. Thanks God my body is healing well, and scars are not very scary looking. Probably combination of a good doctor and my own genetics :)) I took few close up pictures this time. They are little bit blurry, but you can get an idea of the way they look now. I still have yellowish discharge from the T-connection under the breast, therefore I have to wear gauze padding. The most discomfort I am feeling now is on the sides, under my armpits. I have shootings, tingles, pain around level 2-3 (not even enough to take a pill). I can lift my arm ok, but if I need to reach something from the top shelf, I can't stretch that far. Boobies are still very tight, swollen, but overall doing ok.

Yessssss!!! You look fantastic!!! Its IS a combo of your surgeon, your genes, AND that you are taking good care of your boobs. Trust me,,,I've seen some women just do "whatever" after surgery, and ruin their doctors work. You look so good!! Congrats! Its amazing to watch them change from day to day. Healing up, and looking awesome!!

You are really inspiring me, I really love your posts. Because I am not a pro, and haven't seen that many boobs after surgery, even though I am a member on this site since 2016. But you went thru that and you know more than anybody else. To me sometimes doesn't seem that they are healing fast enough, even though I know in my head all the time frames. But everyday frustration can get to you. But after reading your posts I feel much better. Thank you so much for your help :)))

Im glad my story, and my comments help in some way! :) Im in no way an expert, or a doctor. And there are so many women here that probably know more than me. I can only share my personal experience, and what I've seen. Ive spent lots of hours on the site while healing. And more hours watching others make one of their dreams come true. Its a long journey,,,waiting for the new breasts to heal. And sometimes it gets really frustrating. Somedays, I was like, "Can we be past this already?!!" But, I knew going in, that it would take time...and that there are all these phases that our boobs have to go through to heal. I felt like not enough women posted their experience past a few months (I understand that, People are busy). Thats why I still post...even though I'm all healed up. I want women to be able to go to my profile, and see someone who went through the entire experience; All the way up to 1 year, and beyond. So women can see what its like after everything is healed, and show how my implants are holding up over some time. You are doing great. You are welcome, I'm super happy to help!!! :)
