Hello everyone! I decided to write my review since...

Hello everyone! I decided to write my review since this site helped me very much to decide and prepare for my breast augmentation. My weight has always fluctuated a lot and I had recently lost a lot of weight by exercising and eating healthy. Unfortunately the thing that shrank the most was my boobs! They looked deflated and I felt like I wanted the volume I had back and to enhance the shape of my breasts.
I met with Dr. Kerr and he made me feel at ease and the meeting helped me to finally decide to do it. Today I am 3 days post op and although it has been hard the pain hasn't been too bad. The narcotics and muscle relaxer were causing some crappy side effects (vomiting, nausea, constipation, bloating) even with the anti-nausea medication I was prescribed. So I have weaned off oxycodone and am now only doing tylenol extra strength during the day. This has helped me feel so much clear headed and even though there is a little pain, I prefer that over how the oxycodone made me feel.

Congratulations not only on your recent breast augmentation but on your new healthy lifestyle too! Glad you're post op pain hasn't been too bad but bummer on the narcotic side effects. Ugh! Feel free to join a forum of members also healing from their December 2014 breast augmentation surgery. Keep us posted as you continue to heal!

You look great. What bra size were you in your pre op picture?

I was a small B in my pre-op pic and that was after my weight loss. I was a big C small D before that.

Thanks, what size do you think you will be when things have settled? I'm supposed to be going for 460s but panicking now that they won't be big enough. I am 5'10 so they would maybe look smaller on me.....eeek. Decisions!

I actually finally went bra shopping just to see where I was and to get at least one real bra! I'm tired of wearing sports bras and surgical bras. I measured at Victoria's secret 34DDD or 36DD depending on the bra since not all styles go up to the triple d's. I'm not sure if they'll get smaller. I asked my ps and he said they won't get any smaller just the shape and projection will change which is why I'm resisting the urge to buy a ton of bras just now.

feeling better

ags86
I had no idea how much of an emotional toll this ordeal would take on me. I am so thankful that my husband has been here to help me and make me feel better when I'm feeling like crap. There are times I wish I would have never done this but he's kept me feeling positive. It is now day 5 and I've come a long way I can walk with my back straight and have a good range of motion of my arms. I am taking oxy and my muscle relaxer to be able to sleep since my boobs get super stiff at night. So I am still having a bit of constipation issues. My breasts are still really high and tight but in clothes you can't really tell. It just looks like I'm wearing a really good push up bra. I will post pictures soon.

I'm on my 8th day out and I felt the exact same way I never thought the tightness would go away or the pain in my back.. It's still been extremely hard for me and your the first person on here to actually admit that you almost regret getting them cause after all the pain I almost did too.. I do back to way on day 12 and im scared I won't be ready

I had my 2 week post op last Tuesday and it went well. Dr. Kerr looked at them and said everything seems to be going well. Advised me not to work out for another 2 weeks and to continue to wear soft bras. He told me to massage massage massage! (He surprised me when he showed me how to massage them, so I guess I was being too careful) So I started making it a point to massage and I have been feeling more sore. I'm not sure if it's the massaging but my pectoral muscles seem to be sore a lot. Sometimes in my sternum and sometimes on the outer sides of my boobs and it hurts to touch them. I e-mailed him and he said this was normal and to take Motrin for the pain and watch my activity level. I can't wait to work out though, It's so hard to be healthy when you can't do much.

The boobs are still very high and have gotten a little softer. Surgical tape still hasn't come off and my incision area has started to feel uncomfortable whereas before it gave me no problems.

I'm a wuss with my massages too. I really need to do them harder but hate that soreness. Although I guess maybe that means we're doing it right. (shrug) I can't believe your surgical tape is still on! My PS pulled mine off early on to check out my incisions and the new tape didn't stay on so I bought tegaderm to keep it covered.

I got brave today and pulled off what was left of the tape and put some silicone sheets over them to keep them covered. I was surprised at how much better they look without the tape!

Dr Kerr did my girls back in May after I lost my original ones due to a 60lb weight loss and I love them, I found that massage helped a lot when I would start to have muscle spasms. If I was at my desk at work and the spasms started I'd go to the bathroom for the massage. You are going to be so happy come swimsuit season!!
