They feel great, falling more in love everyday! The incisions site, the scarring is pretty much gone!
Ever since high school i've been pretty small...
Ever since high school i've been pretty small chested and it made me feel extremely insecure. I have pretty much been barley a 34B since i had boobs and I wouldn't leave the house without wearing my super padded VS bra and i felt as if i could never fill out any of my clothes! I have done research for years of exactly what i wanted and which doctor id like to do my breast augmentation.
Finally i had made an appointment for a consultation with Dr. Martin in Scottsdale, AZ at Estetica Cosmetic and Reconstructive Surgery. I have had a friend of mine get her breast augmentation through him and she was very pleased with her results and he came highly recommended!! His office is beautiful and everyone makes you feel so extremely welcomed. My consultation went great and i decided to schedule my surgery for March 4, 2014.
I decided to go with a 425cc overfilled to 500cc round Saline implant under the muscle and axillary incision. I really wanted to at least have a D and i loved the round full look so thats why i went with saline.
Weeks and days leading up to the surgery i was literally obsessed with reading all about breast augmentations and everything that could go wrong. I took a total of 10 days off work as im an aesthetician/ laser tech and work with my hands and arms alot. I guess you could say i was pretty nervous/excited. When surgery day finally came i felt pretty relaxed and happy that it was FINALLY here. I followed all my pre-op instructions and prepared everything at home for my recovery. I was pretty lucky to also live not even 5 minutes away from the office which was really nice!! I made sure i had scheduled the first surgery of the day, so i wasn't dying of starvation and nervousness. They were quick to take me back into my recovery room, get me changed into my gown and get my IVs started. The anesthesiologist came in and talked with me a little bit along with Dr. Martin and thats when my nerves started to set in. I began crying like a big baby when they had my boyfriend leave the room and started prepping me for surgery. The anesthesiologist gave me a nice shot of whatever it was and i instantly felt amazing lol!!! I walked into the surgical suite laid down on the bed and just felt relaxed as they started strapping me down and within seconds i was out!!
I woke up in my recovery room feeling great!! Not groggy or sick one bit just a little bit of cotton mouth. ( The nurses told me that had an awesome anesthesiologist ) I mostly just felt pressure in the upper parts of my chest and that was about it. I was feeling pretty good and wouldn't shut up haha. The surgery was a little over an hour and 15 minutes and i spent about 20 minutes in recovery before they sent me on my way. Once i sat up to get in the wheelchair from the bed i felt A LOT more pressure but no pain quite yet. The car ride home was pretty much a blur and the first few hours at home.
Once the anesthesia kinda started to wear off i really started to feel the pain. HOLY PRESSURE!!!! I felt like my boobs were going to burst every move i made. It was really hard to even do anything myself. Thank god i had my amazing boyfriend taking care of me :) I pretty much stayed in bed the whole first day in bed crying because of the pressure and hardly got any sleep just because of the discomfort of laying sitting up. I had Pain killers, Muscle relaxers, Antibiotics, and anti-nausea medicine. I was taking everything beside the nausea medicine because i never once felt sick and could eat and drink just fine. There was alot of fluid build up on my sides and all around my implants. I could here gurgling and squish bubbles around under my skin ( So gross feeling ) But its normal.
The next day i went for my first check up and got to see them for the first time! Im not going to lie i almost cried when i saw them because they were so swollen and square and ugly haha Despite how i felt Dr. Martin said everything was looking great!!
The next few days were pretty much hell and i couldn't do anything for myself and i was so SWOLLEN. I lived with packs of frozen peas in my surgical bra, they really were my life saver and couldn't sleep without them. My first shower was pretty uncomfortable because once i took that bra off i felt so much more pressure and just wanted to put it back on. I held them in the shower the whole time and had my boyfriend help bathe me and wash my hair (what a sweetheart) I cleaned my incision 2x a day with hydrogen peroxide once my stitches started to dissolve.
About day 4-5 is when i started feeling so much better. I could walk around the house and be a little more active. Car rides sucked as every bump/ turn hurt. Once day 8 came around i was feeling almost 100% and was off all my meds and occasionally taking my muscle relaxers. I was still really swollen but i was able to dress myself and was able to do a little more. I still wasn't able to lift my hands over my head so washing my hair was out of question. I started with arm stretches and massaging exercises and laying on my chest for 10 minutes a day ( KILL ME ) but that really helped push the implants into their pocket and relax the muscle. I have been wearing my compression band since i woke up from surgery which im learning to like (hated it at first)
Day 11 i returned to work and was pretty sore when i got home just because i was using my muscle more and i was still pretty swollen.
Pretty much all pain and discomfort subsided within 2 months and i was able to return to all my normal activities. I still get nerve pains and muscle spasms which are all normal for the first year.
Its been 6 months and i feel amazing!! They dropped beautifully and rounded out! Im in LOVE! They are soft, giggly and feel like real BOOBS! I sleep in a sports bra because thats what the Dr advised plus i really dont like not having a bra on them because i don't want them to sag! Im so extremely happy with my results! The current bra size is a 34DD or a 32DDD. I love the size and look i have :) Overall the process was pretty great! I would do i all over again if i could and maybe go a tiny bit bigger haha

Dr. Martin Is Incredible! I couldn't be any happier with my results. He was extremely knowledgable and listened to exactly what i wanted. He helped me with choosing the correct size that would fulfill my dreams. He had an awesome bedside manner and his team of nurses made me feel very comfortable and welcomed. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Martin to anybody and will definitely be returning to him for all future work to be done!
