Body 127lbs 5'6 currently 32 B ( in bras with no padding) GOAL pretty and full C.

Jan 21, 2016 I only scheduled one consultation I felt confident with my months of research as well as the testimonies of patients and amazing reviews online. As a health care professional I really appreciated Dr. Steven T's mannerisms. He was calm, collected, kind, and bluntly honest. He pointed out my left side is much lower than my right ( which I never even noticed) and suggested a donut lift. Scheduled my operation for the 27 of January feeling very confident after months of research. He specializes in a 24 hour recovery so I will blog on how that goes. I kind of freaked out today and watched 100 of his videos on youtube and it definitely made me feel so much more confident that I am in the best hands. When I went to pay for surgery I was given 10% off for being a healthcare professional * YAY*.

One day until surgery! Confirmed for 7 AM. Today the anesthesiologist called, asked for local for the IV insertion which causes less pain, so happy no foley is needed. Scheduled for 0700 surgery with Dr. T in Santa Monica. I actually work in the operating room at a different facility so it's nice to know what goes on behind the scenes before going into this blindly. It sucks being the patient instead of the provider :p. Glad I'm in good hands. Popped some Zzzquil because I'm too excited! Thank you ladies for all posting your reviews were invaluable.

Post op : Breast Aug Day 1

Readyornot2016
Arrived at 7, urine sample needed to rule out pregnancy, gown on, hair up, before pictures taken. I was measured and written on. The Preop nurse was amazing and kind answered all of my questions. She provided me with a Valium and an expensive anti nausea medication that I would later be charged almost $100 for unknowingly. I'm greatful I took it because I haven't felt any nausea at all! I ate a large sandwich for lunch easily. She asked which medications I would like to purchase for recovery and had my prescription filled so that when I got out of surgery it was in my purse waiting which was nice. I wasn't nervous walking into the OR because I myself work in the OR. It was chilly, they gave me heated blankets, covered my chest modestly, and the anesthesiologist utilized lidocaine to numb my arm before inserting the IV which was amazing! No pain! The nurses and anesthesiologist made me feel warm and at home. I felt completely confident knowing they were my advocates for surgery. I ended up with 310 cc on the left and 330 on the right. I trusted the surgeon to put in whatever looks best. The last thing I remember was the anesthesiologist saying here's the versed. Then I was out! Started case at 815 was out of recovery by 11am. I woke up in recovery in the worst pain of my life. I wanted to talk but felt like I would cry. The nurse noticed right away and fed me two pills (Flexerol, hydrocodone) the pain continued and she asked anesthesia is I could have more hydrocodone because of my stil extreme pain and one minute later she placed it in my mouth. Extremely effective nursing right there! Anyways 15 min later no pain ! I can raise my hands above my head, move around, pain 2/10 and tolerable I feel great. And most importantly my boobs look beautiful and now my nipples are equal. I am so happy I almost cried. Every time I look at them despite The doctor recommends napping and surgery then showering and going out to dinner and shopping! I'm very lucky to have my own personal post op nurse friend and telemetry nurse friend by my side but I can definitely function.

Breast Aug recovery day two

Readyornot2016
I woke up very sore pain 5/10 took 800 mg Motrin as prescribed by my MD. Can get up walk around, clean, function normally. No nausea, itching, or cramping. Feeling like a lucky lady! Although they are swollen and a little high they look gorgeous with very scant minimal bleeding on dressing. I'm so satisfied with my results. A little confused my ID card says natraulle cohesive round I'm not sure if this is gummy bear or not but its not a big concern! So happy!
