Late 30's, Nursed All Three of my Children Until 12 Months, No Breast Tissue. Sacramento, CA

UPDATED FROM sassymamaof3

Feeling amazing!

WORTH IT$5,800
I am nearly three weeks three and a half weeks post-op. I feel amazing! I have been following all the doctor's instructions of not lifting/picking up anything heavy, working out or going to the gym and taking it easy 30 days post-op.
Some of the things I have experienced the past two weeks are nerves sensation behind my nippples and on my nipples and a bit of tightness in my breasts as the implants are moving downwards of stretching within. Nothing is horrible painful that ibuprofen wouldn't help. Ibuprofen only after 10 days post-op!
Other than that everything has been a breeze... can't wait for the final result!

Good news! Happy healing :)
Did you have to wear a strap around the top?
Hi,

I wasn't given a strap for around the top.... what does that do?
I've been seeing it A LOT on other girls reviews with different surgeons. I guess it is a tight strap that goes around the top of the breasts to help them drop into place...hmmm.. Wonder why Dr. Yamahata doesn't use it. I will ask next time I speak with him.. He may operate differently!!
User: "Mommy needs boobs" has good photos of her use of the breast strap post op
Dr. Yamahata didn't have me use one either. I think maybe he just likes things to happen naturally. I asked him about massage and he said no not needed. So o never did and they are getting softer and dropping and even with the saline with the way he does his surgery s I have no rippling either. So happy with my results ....he it truly an amazing Dr.
I know this post is old, but Dr. Yamahata did give me a strap at my two week post op. I think because my right side was much higher than my left. I used it for a few days and my breasts are now at the same level. If you had level dropping then he may have decided the strap wasn’t necessary
You look so great so early on. So happy you are healing very well and fast as I did too.
I'm getting saline as well so I'm hoping I will have a similar experience with them! When I talked to him about the massages he said that he just does not find it necessary and he would let me know if he thinks I need to. I talked with another doctor about it and his opinion that by not massaging it allows your body to accept the implants on its own terms and not in a forceful manner. But I don't know for sure why Dr Yamahata doesn't require the post op massages but he is a skilled Doctor so I am not going to question him! Lol I still am going to ask about the post op strap for the top of the breasts though; his opinion on it is probably the same as his opinion on the massages.
Lanesan & sassymama - Both of you ladies are healing beautifully! Love the results so far and they will only get better! You guys have helped me feel very secure with Dr Yamahata. Happy healing :)

10 days post op

Today is 10 days after the surgery, I feel great. I just have to mindfully remind myself to not do too much or pickup anything heavy. My breast high, but overtime they will drop.
I am very happy with the results so far.

Looking awesome! I went to Dr. Yamahata also and love him. I got 350 cc moderate profile saline. I was a deflated C after losing about 13 lbs. I am 3 months po and loving them. Be patient they will drop nicely and feel softer and you are going to love your results. They already look great. So happy you chose Dr. Yamahata.
Hello,

Thanks for the nice comment. Even the cartoon square look of the implants I am more pleased with then my before photos!

When did you notice your breast becoming softer? I have noticed that my breast have dropped some over the past few days, but the firmness/tightness is still rock hard.

Thanks again..
