I'm so happy! Oh so happy!.. I LOVE them so much...
I'm so happy! Oh so happy!.. I LOVE them so much more everyday! They feel like I've always had them! Its about to be my 3rd week. I removed my steri-strips last night as I had a major cold sweat amd just in time too as a suspected that I may have wet them and I did. My mom helped me remove them and I got to see my insicions for the first time. One word: Scary.
They are a little swollen, I cant really tell how many cuts he made as I see three but my mom says she sees two on each incision :(. I can't really tell what is normal and what is not. I dont know what or if I can put anything on them to keep them clean. Any advice may help. I will call the office in a few minutes as well to see what is the proper care for them. Right now I have gauze over them so they dont rub against my surgical bra.
At week one, I was instructed to massage my breasts. So Ive done that since. My breasts have dropped some and are incredibly soft :). I've had no pain and I was able to stop my medication at one week post op.
I went out with friends for the first time this weekend and no one noticed! But then again, I was wearing loose fitting clothes lol. Though you can straight out tell they are huge when I wear tight shirts or when Im bear naked. But I love em! I don't know when or how I will be able to tell the difference when they fluff.. what does that really mean?? Lol.
As of now, my swelling is completely gone. As I mentioned, no pain at all. I started driving to work after two weeks. It was rather strange but drive as you would have at the DMV. I feel much more reliable. No problems with my daughter, I still refuse to pick her up but that's no problem with her. My mom is amazing! She has, since day one, been amazing at keeping me in check and checking my breasts so that everything is alright.
OH! And before I forget!. I was instructed to place waterproof bandages over my steri-strips so they don't get wet when I shower. Umm.. big mistake???.. I did just that and took a shower, but I didn't think how powerful the sealer is so water doesn't wash them off. They became stuck to my steri-strips! I couldnt remove them! So I panicked a bit and emailed Dr. Pousti. He assured me everything was fine as long as they were dry.
But for future info, please girls, do research this.
And i wanted to ask,how did you girls manage to shower? I was given the okay to remove them last night. Now I just need to know how to properly care for them.
Still trying to figure out where its safe to upload my before and after pictures. Until then, dont forget about me lol

Sorry girls for not updating... These pills are no...
Sorry girls for not updating... These pills are no joke, they make you drowsy.
FINALLY DID IT!! and YES, its amazing being on this side of femininehood!
I'm 9 days post-op.
As I mentioned I'm from Los Angeles, CA and had to travel to get my BA done. The trip was 2hours and a half, hit a bit of traffic. Had my pre-op the day before surgery and discussed size a little, I told him I wanted 265cc's and if he could fit a 280cc to do so... (Though I really hoped for the 265cc's the best.) but he knew right away what I wanted. Took pictures then got to meet with three other girls who had their breast augmentations with him, my jaw dropped at how amazing they looked, but it was their verbal reviews that made me want to cry at how blessed I felt to have picked Dr. Pousti.
My mom went with me, she was concerned and scared about the anesthesia more than anything. Dr. Pousti kept reassuring her that I was in good hands and that he was going to take care of me. It even warmed my moms heart.
The day of surgery, I had to show up at 12:30pm for prep and surgery time was at 2:30pm Sharp. They kept me warm during I waited with a heating tube, inserted my IV, and talked with my mom about how nervous I was, my hands were so cold and joked about my appearance of a boy with no make up. Then he walked in, marked me and talked to me to distract me from my embarrasment of small boobs, said I was going to be really happy and he was going to take care of me. He mentioned my left boob was slightly smaller than my right but said its not a problem. That made me smile. Then heand another WONDERFUL NURSE, I did not catch her name, but shes tall, said how cute I was and asked "I want to ask, may I hold your hand while you fall to sleep?" I smiled so nervously and so Happy, I want to cry just remembering. They walked me to the operating table and Dr. Pousti brought in a heated blanket, which I appreciated that. He sensed my fear and held my hand, I avoided contact with objects in the room to avoid panic, I stared up at operating lights, nurse held my other hand. When I knew the fluid was injected into my IV, I looked at the nurse then at the light above me, I looked at the doctor, he said "Think of a beautifull place." I thought of my daughter and wanted to cry. I looked back at the light and felt my eyes shutting, I tried to fight it for fun lol I'll admit. But it was amazing. Felt like I was gone for a min. I woke up and a nurse was right next to me and quickly told me where I was and what they did to me. I looked down to my breasts and thought "My god, that was quick. That easy. It wasnt scary." I nodded to the nurse and they brought in my mom. She was smiling and told me it took an hour and a half so she did a little shopping for me to eat. I was sooo thankful! She said she drove around to know exactly how to get back to the hotel. I Love You Mom!
At the hotel, I felt tired and sleepy. She kept up with my meds and noted each time she gave me my meds. She set up alarms and woke up in the middle of the night to give them to me. She did EVERYTHING for me. Pain wasn't bad at all, nipples are sensitive still so I put bandages to keep them.from erecting and rubbing against my surgical bra. That can be a tip. :)
It's true, you feel better and better each day and day after day, you "believe" you can handle something simple but don't fool yourself. You'll feel useless and like you need to show your appreciation somehow, that a thank you is not enough. I cleaned the dining room to help my mom clean as my appreciation, she got a little upset and asked me to rest...about a hundred times lol.
Day 9 isn't bad at all. I asked what they went with. He said 280cc's wouldn't fit, he wouldn't even try or risk it, he said he went with 265cc's, no complications and they will be beautiful and just what I wanted. I was extremely happy to hear he went with 265cc's. It's exactly what I wanted!.. Don't know what profile he used yet, i forgot to ask. But I remember he said he can accomplish a moderate profile with no problem for a natural look. Again, what I wanted without me saying :). They look like moderate profiles though.
On another note: Me and my daughter's dad broke up. For the four years that I was with him, I felt insecure of myself and his actions didn't always helped improve my confidence. I found out his interest in "slutty" girls through text messages he was having with his best friend while I was away with slutty pictures and described what he would do to them, asked if he can get hooked up and he had carried that interest for a very long while. I finally have confidence and do not want to fall back or go back to hiding. I will NOT start my new life that way. Remembering he talked about marriage, made me cry. Before I found out, he said he was concerned that I would change after this BA... That I would turn.conceited and wear revealing clothes, and be "slutty" and he did not want that. I reassured him I will not turn into one of those, I respect my body and my daughter. Then I.found out this. Maybe to most ladies its not a big deal, I've been told. But it is to ME.
Sorry to vent on here. It related to my self esteem. Girls, I feel sad but I feel great! In starting my life with (for the very first time) CONFIDENCE! :D Will attempt to add fotos.

The reason men who are in to "sluttier" women and are so afraid of their girlfriends becoming one is because they know how looking at other girls acting that way makes them feel, and in turn if you act/dress the same way, other men will look at you like that and it makes them jealous and insecure.
(Also in their fantasy the girls who dress slutty that they're "sooo attracted to" are easy and they would have a chance with them. Little do they know, or choose to accept, the way a girl dresses has no direct connection to her as a person. Some girls dress/act slutty because they're insecure and need all the attention they can get, some are just that confident and wear what/act the way they want. Those guys tend to get turned down and looked down upon when they make moves more than anyone because they're so cocky and make fools of themselves. Anyway,)
Usually men who are pigs like that are insecure because they know they have these issues and know that's not a desirable trait and know that if you were to attract someone better, you'd realize you're not with the best and there would be a good chance you would leave him for someone who is more attractive/respectful/funny/fun than he is. He's projecting.
And most guys would rather attempt to "tame" their girl rather than tame them self. It's all signs of lazy, selfish, double standard having boys. You're so much better off without him. Find someone who thinks you're beautiful and sexy and treats you well and don't settle for less.
