Finally Taking Care of Those Post Partum Boobs - San Antonio, TX

I should have done this years ago! Two months post-op and feeling GREAT, went from a 36DDDDDDDDD (no just kidding - but it felt like that) to 36C and feeling so much more youthful! I am super active, and have always felt like my large breasts were weighing me down, causing neck and back pain, needed to be strapped down before any activity. Now I feel light, better posture, confident naked, clothing fits so much better and so happy with the look of my new breasts. Scarring is fine - no one likes scars but they blend in around the areola and under the breasts pretty well.

The procedure itself was fine - the anesthesiologist did a great job preventing nausea and vomiting with a long acting agent before the procedure. I had some pretty good post op pain the first night, but took a couple of norco and was fine. I never needed anything more than tylenol after that first night, and after the drains were pulled in a week I was good to go. The first week with the drains was a bit uncomfortable to sleep, but during the day I was fine.

It took about six weeks for everything to feel 100% back to normal. I did not need a lot of extra help from Dr. Lawton, but the couple of times I called with questions his nurses were very prompt and helpful. Post op visits were easy - stitch removal was careful and painless, dressing and scar prevention instructions were clear. All visits were included in the operative fee.

Response from Dr. Lawton:
There is so much subtlety that can be achieved with a breast augmentation if the patient's perception of what they want to achieve is the driving force. Listening carefully and taking into account all of the technical considerations and meshing them with the patient's desired outcome is critical to the success of the process, which patient satisfaction. We are so happy that we were able to interpret your vision into your desired outcome. Thank you!

Congratulations on your results.  This is definitely a life changing event, so glad to hear that you are happy and loving the results.   Just wait until you start shopping!  I went a little crazy myself once I was healed.

Did you have to wear a surgical bra soon after surgery?
