525cc Saline Adjustable Implants! Pre-Surgery Info! - Little Rock, AR

About me: I'm 5'9 and I weigh around 150-155.

I had been considering a breast augmentation for years and finally decided to schedule a consultation with Dr. Shewmake in September. I had done tons of research and knew exactly what I wanted when I initially met him! I knew I wanted Saline implants and I wanted to be a large D cup after the procedure. After meeting with Dr. Shewmake, he told me about the new adjustable implants that are available (there is a port left under the skin for 6 months and saline can be added or removed with a hypodermic needle to achieve the desired size after surgery). I know many women who wish they had gone a little bigger or smaller so I was excited to have the option of adjustable implants. They're the same price as non-adjustable, just a little more inconvenient because the port will need to be removed eventually. Dr. Shewmake informed me that my breasts were very symmetrical so it would be easy to put the same volume in each and have excellent results. I scheduled my appointment for October 9th and was ready to go! I had a month left until surgery to start my vitamins and finalize any last minute decisions. Dr. Shewmake started me on Arnica two weeks out to help with swelling and bruising and Bromelain one week out. (Once I started taking Bromelain, I had terrible headaches. He said I could stop taking it, so I jumped at the opportunity!)

I arrived at the surgical pavilion at 11AM. My surgery was scheduled for 1PM and I was actually a lot calmer than I figured I would be. After speaking with the anesthesiologist and Dr. Shewmake (who went above and beyond to make me comfortable and answered any last minutes concerns I had), getting an IV, and relaxing for a bit, I was ready to go! I don't remember much after getting some medicine to "take the edge off" but am hour and a half later, I was waking up with a new pair of boobs! In recovery, I felt amazing. I didn't have any pain at all and was wide awake. I was uncomfortable and scared to move too much but I was on cloud nine because it was all over! The nurse showed me my new breasts and provided us with at home instructions regarding my incisions and pain medication. I had internal, dissolving stitches and external glue and surgical tape. I didn't know until that point that I had 525 cc's and I initially thought they'd be huge. Turns out, Dr. Shewmake knows what he's doing and they fit my body wonderfully! I knew I could trust him! I was given an appointment for my follow up visit and then we were released and headed home!
