So I've been wanting to do this surgery since...

rana01
WORTH IT$9,500
So I've been wanting to do this surgery since forever :) I finally got to done on Monday
I had breast lift & augmentation
I did the gummy bear scilicone 500 cc above the muscle bc I wanted the round look
I went with Dr, Robert Young
Great staff , great nurses & amazing service
Surgery was super fast & easy lol dah under anesthesia . The 2nd & 3rd day i say I experienced some pain , nothing unbearable tho , I took my pain killers & muscle relaxer & it helped .
Today is my 3rd day after surgery , I'm just laying down doing nothing which is awesome lol . Still wearing the surgical bra , will see my dr on Monday which will b a week after my procedure . My boobs look square & they both look different than each other , very visible scars , but I know with time all will b better . I will keep updating my posts . If anyone has any questions I'll be glad to help :)

5 days after surgery

rana01
So it's been 5 days . I still feel pressure on my chest as if someone sitting on my chest but it's not painful !
I havenot been able to do much honestly. Just been laying down with bunch of pillowes behind me so i dnt lay flat or sitting down . I had a sponge bath today , I stayed away from stitches .
My breast are somewhat rounding up a lil
I'm not gona lie , I got so depressed yestrday thinking my breast will look like this for ever , called the nurse & she said ok give it 4 weeks for the swelling to go down . I have a 1 week appt with Dr. Young on Monday , apparently they will show me how to massage my breasts .
I'm still wearing the surgical bra as my doctor asked .
I'm down a little I guess I expected things to heal a lot faster but I'm hanging on !! Trying to be patient . Wish me luck

February 21, 2016
Thank u . I need all the luck .
I kept trying on CC's , I used to wear only the bomb shell bra from Victoria secret , it makes u 2 cup sizes bigger & I used to love the way I look , I was a B so I knew I wanted a Full C to beginning of D
And I measured to to my bra cup size & found 500 cc was the number
I'm still huge bc I'm swallon & bruised but hopefully it'll go down n size a lil

Forgot to mention I noticed something , I noticed on my right boob that there is a piece of skin sticking out the stitches , I attached a picture , I freaked out !!
Spoke to the doctor him self & he said it should even out with time & when he sees me Monday he will let me know what we can do . Anyone had this ?

Hi, Hun, how you getting on. Xx
February 24, 2016
Much better today ! Thank u for asking
Recovering but very slowly
The swelling went down a lil not much
I used to feel my implants under my arm pit and it was so hard to put my arms next to my body ! But today I can tell the swelling went down a lil and it's better for my arms . I got so depressed yestrday and I was crying non stop !! Bc I thought recovery is Gona be much easier & my boobs will look perfect within days but truth is , it's a mater of time . Called my doctors nurse and she said I have to be patient & final results won't show till about 6 months . So I'm being optimistic today & hoping for a speedy recovery
February 24, 2016
