Quick update

WORTH IT$8,300
My father in law is in the hospital so I'm going to be quick and I promise I will write more when things settle down. I noticed the other night that I have a hole under my left breast. Sent pic to PS and he said its ok just a stitch and should heal up fine. Scary! My left still hasn't dropped much but muscle is loosening up. Praying it will drop soon! I'm tired of my left looking saggy on the bottom...it's waiting anxiously for that darn implant as am I!

Will be in touch again soon! Xoxo

Dr Engel is absolutely amazing! From the consultation to post op, he calmed my nerves, answered all questions and asked me what I wanted and what my concerns are. I felt that my wants and desires were the most important to him. I trusted Dr Engel with my breast lift and augmentation and I was not disappointed at all. He is truly an artist! I am beyond happy with my results and already have friends who want to have Dr Engel do their surgeries. Amazing work!

The waiting game is so hard. U still have beautiful results!! How scary to have that spot in your incision opening up. I will say for me that I assumed that after the first week or two that things would b smooth sailing...not always the case. Hope your father-in-law is ok. :)

Just checking in to see how you're doing. Is the hole still present on your incision? Hoping all is well with your father-in-law. Hang in there and update us when you have a chance.

Missing your posts and I hope all is well with u and your family. :)
Hey lady! Hope all is well with you..sending love to you & your family..xoxo
Just checking in to see how your healing is going. Hope all is ok with you and your family. Are you back to running? I remember you had a half-marathon scheduled for 12/1. Did you decide to do it? Best wishes!

MIA

Hi Ladies! I have been MIA for a week! I got the okay to start doing my workouts again and I have been keeping myself very busy. I ran on Sunday night and have been doing my cycling and barre classes....so much fun and so happy! The girls look the same...haven't changed much at all. PS gave me a bando to wear for 3 hours a day because my left was not dropping like my right. I absolutely hate that thing!! So unbelievably uncomfortable :( Trying to be good with it. I think my left is finally loosening up and starting to drop but it may just be my mind playing tricks on me. :) I was also given the clear to start scar therapy last week. I was asked by PS's office to participate in a scar gel study so I received kelo-cote (PS's recommendation) and a new scar gel that the office was going to try by SkinMedica for free!!!! :) Over 200 bucks worth of gels for nothing! I am putting one on each breast and then going back in a month to see if one is doing a better job than the other. I was over the moon getting the gels for free! :)

That's about it for me. Hope everyone is doing well! XOXO

Looking great, but the bando does look very uncomfortable!!! Any issues with working out? How exciting to participate in the scar treatment trial. :) nothing is ever for free!! Lucky u!!
Just wanted to say how helpful your posts are! I'll be 14 days post op tomorrow and I've been so sore (almost like a burning sensation) and just read you had the same feelings at 15 days too! Good to know. I was starting to think my body was rejecting my implants! Lol! Must be all the Greys Anatomy I've been watching during my recovery! You look fabulous by the way!
Awesome about the scar gel and yay for working out!!!
may i know any Scar Gel/cream for healing the surgical scar on breast? thanks.

Ive been sneaking in a few circuts here & there myself..So happy for you & Im glad your doing great!! Glad your friend is doing good also. Tell her I said, Welcome to the Pak!! Lmbo xoxo

It's been a couple days :)

Haven't had anything to report. Going to the PS tomorrow for my 3 week post op. I will fill everyone in on how that goes.

My friend had her surgery today. I'm heading over to her house tomorrow after I drop my kids off at school to be with her while my cousin is at work. I'm looking forward to girl time :) I hope I take care of her good too :) We scheduled our appointments at the same time to make things easier. Don't want her to have to wait too long.

A Nordstom Rack just opened up by me so I went there today. I am in awe! The DKNY bra that I just returned at Macy's and spent 44 bucks plus tax on is at Nordstrom Rack for, I believe it was, $18.97! Thy also had a wacoal bra that I was really close to buying for 30 but I didn't. I will be back once I can wear underwire ;)

Hope everyone is doing well! Sorry I've been MIA ;) xoxo
