28 Years Old, Breast Augmentation, Day Before Surgery. South Africa, ZA
OMW!!!! This is finally happening. Tomorrow is the...
Why am I getting a BA?
In case you are wondering why I have decided to this, my reason is simply. I've lost more than 35kg over the past 5 years and went from a D-cup to what I suspect is an A-cup (although I like deluding myself that I am a B-cup). I love the fact that I lost all that weight but I hate the effect it had on my poor boobies. So yeah, after going on and on about how unhappy I was about my tiny boobies, hubby and I finally decided a BA was the way to go. I have secretly always wanted to get them done since they started shrinking but my mind wasn't ready for it yet.
How I chose my doctor?
I am laying my trust in Dr Saul Braun. I had heard of the incredible work he did and after doing a little research of my own, I decided he was the one. I mean, no one wants to wake up with two awfully shaped boobies :) give me small [RS bleep] any day instead.
Anyway, Dr Braun was very pleasant during my consultation and I'm still laughing at his comment about my bony chest. I know I will be getting about 300cc in my right breast and a slightly bigger one for my left. [Slight asymmetrical issues :)] I will do an update post-op to let you know for sure though. Oh one more thing, or should I say two/three... My implants will be 80% under the pectoral muscle and no breast lift will be done in order to give my boobies a more natural look. Besides, Dr Braun told me my nipples didn't drop, so I won't be needing a breast lift. Oh yeah, I've got nipple piercings which will be coming off during surgery (I've got cysts in my left boob which will also be removed during the op - no doubt my boobs hurt like crazy during that time of the month, left more than right)
Pre-Op Jitters?
I didn't think I was nervous until today when I woke up with a knot in my stomach. I'm certain it is the fear of the unknown but for the most part, I am more gutted by the fact that I won't be able to practice my power yoga or do any intensive exercise. I'm not scared about the pain or the invasive nature of the procedure as much as I am worried about the lack of exercise post-op Heh heh I know that's dumb right :) But that's me, I love my work-outs. Dr Braun said I could walk though so that's something I intend to do as soon as Day One Post-Op. But just like the silicone implant size, I will let you know on Friday :)
Pre-Op Schedule?
Well let's see what's on my to-do list today:
1. Getting fruits juiced
2. No alcohol
3. No food AND water 8 hours prior to procedure (well still waiting on the call for my op time)
4. Shopping - sweat pants, comfy slippers, sports bras
5. Get enough sleep!!!!!
Well, wish me luck and I will keep you updated :)

Fresh out of the theatre... Few minutes after BA surgery

Just Got of Surgery, Breast Augmentation, Fresh out of the Theater :-)
Right so I just got out of surgery and here I am typing away. I know right? I should be in t ears or sulking from the pain but truth is I don't feel any pain or nausea. I am just tired but I guess that's because I was feeling so sleepy before I got here this morning. I was so anxious last night I couldn't sleep. Anyway, I got 300cc on my left and 325cc on my right.
Funny thing is I don't even know when I got knocked out heh heh. The nurse put some mask on my face for me to breathe oxygen, told me to breathe in and the next thing I was back on my bed and another nurse was checking my vitals heh heh I was still in the theater room though and asked the nurse to remind Dr Braun to put my piercings back immediately after surgery. I was shocked when she told me the surgery was done. I had to look at my chest and even then I couldn't believe, so I felt my boobies. Yes the surgery was done and Dr Braun put my piercings back just like he promised even when the nurses were insisting I take them off before I went into the theater. Anyway, I was cold as hell but I kept looking at my newly formed chest (couldn't get a proper look though since there was some other guy who being prepared for surgery). But my constant checking made the monitors go crazy and the nurse asked me to stop lifting up my head heh heh I thought that was funny, I was acting like a kid who had just gotten a new toy. Well I guess I do have a new toy, I feel so much more feminine (secretly wished I had gone bigger lol - Dr Braun said my cup size had doubled, so I was right about being an A-cup before surgery :-)]
Well I was wheeled out of the theater and my vitals are constantly being checked. I'm in no pain at all and hoping that won't change. I'm just tired, but I guess it's because anxiety kicked in last night and I couldn't sleep. I'm still unable to sleep now so I guess I'll watch TV until I snooze off.
I won't lie, I was a nervous wreck before my surgery, thought of running away/backing out and even shed a few tears as I was wheeled into the theater's patient reception. But the thought of feeling feminine again and filling up my bikinis made me relax a little.
Anyway, let me relax a little and I'll keep you all updated :-)
