30 Yrs Old Three Kids Benelli Lift Under Muscle

I’m 5’2 107lb . Never really cared for breast augmentation, but after having my second child back in 2014, I thought to myself, “I understand why women get new boobs!” So here I am on my way to surgery, it’s a rainy day in SoCal. But it’s better than blasting heat when you can’t wear deodorant. So the plan so far is that I want to be at least 400cc. I’m going with mentor Xtra smooth HP. And a benelli lift. I took me a year to finally except some kind of a lift. So after 3 consults with different surgeons, I went back to Dr. Pousti, who when I first met a year ago was so kind and sincere. The second time around for a consult with him I explained things that were going on in my life, and instead of just telling me - yea book the surgery you will be fine. He asked me to get clearance from another doctor of mine. So anyways back to it, I won’t know what size I will be till after. He will use sizers and my goal pictures and then make the decision. I’m absolutely comfortable going in today, Dr. Pousti has gained my complete trust! I’ll post pre op pics very soon- as soon as I figure it out ;-) btw it’s may 2, and literally on my way to surgery, just starting my review at completely last minute. So my surgery date is today, but the website won’t let me chose it so I put May 3 down, since it is asking for a future date. Ok I’m done with this post now, for sure.

I had my surgery yesterday and I for some crazy reason I did not get nervous once. The anesthesiologist came and spoke with me and went through everything with me. That’s when I told her that the last time I was under I got nauseated, so she said she would give me three different items in my IV for the nausea. Every one was amazing , then Dr. Pousti came in and once again made me feel like was in the best hands in all of Cali. Even when they walked me into the OR they I laid on the bed and again, in order to keep calm I focused on their instructions. The there was Dr. Pousti holding my hand, I felt the iv sting and I remembered that they said once I feel that sting it means that the I was getting into going under. Dr. Pousti was so reassuring and all I remember saying last was please please don’t let me throw up when I wake! So I just closed my eyes and drifted. I woke up in recovery, I felt sore and some pressure but calm and so not nauseous. Amber the nurse who cared for me after was amazing also. She told me right away, that taking deep breaths helps, and gave me meds and ice chips and crackers to combat any oncoming nausea. Last night at 2am I was so much pain, this was right before my percoset dose. I stayed up for the next half hour with my Valium next to me and a drink so my wonderful partner who had been amazing though this all with keeping my meds, making sure I stayed hydrated, making sure I eat a little so my meds don’t make me sick. Overall I’m told by the nurse who called me today that I’m over the worst. Tomorrow will still be bad but to just hang in there. I’m so happy I did this I can’t even explain.

So as about an hour ago it has been 48 hrs since I went into surgery! I woke up sore, with about 20 min before my next dose of pain meds was due. Yesterday I was able to go about 11 hrs with Valium as I just concentrated on my breathing exercises. To be honest it’s slightly painful at first but then it begins to feel like a massage from the inside. So far yesterday for sure has been my worst day, to the point where I asked the nurse if I could take Valium ever four hours instead of 8. Which was a no, so I just had to take it. Dr. Pousti called me himself yesterday also to check up on me, I didn’t expect that at all but made me feel that much more cared for by his staff and himself. Right now I have not take. Any new pics but maybe later. I’m it my surgical bra with lots of gauze in between. When I change later I will take the op to snap some pics .
As for my diet, I have been eating Greek yogurt throughout the day with my doses of meds, muscle relaxers, and antibiotics. It has def been enough to have no nausea and to keep me from feeling too bloated. My children have been pretty awesome though this whole thing. My son who is 3 and my baby daughter who is two offer me crackers, or if I would like a bite of any of their snacks. They also grab my Gatorade or water and ask if I would like a drink. My oldest has also been pretty normal with me. Being that she is 11 I thought she would be more stand-offish. But she’s taking this well too. Back to recovery. I alternate between my bed and the couch. After a while of laying at 30 degrees I feel the need to sit up straight. Because my partner has to be taking care of our two little ones constantly, I’m trying to figure little things to be able to help my self. Using my legs to pull myself up, moving chairs , etc. for anyone who is scared or pain, who is worried if they can do this because of young children, I want to let you know, you can do this. With a little help, and the understanding that the pain is not forever, this op is possible. I had so many worries in my mind before this, but since I woke in recovery I felt great knowing I trusted myself to be able to get through this. The site has helped me so much, in knowing that other moms with young kids do this. Women of all ages, and walks of life do this, and that gave me a boost of confidence and assurance. I will keep you all updated on my progress, any questions feel free to ask :)
