I'm finally getting breasts!! I've wanted them...

I'm finally getting breasts!! I've wanted them ever since mine never really developed as a teenager. I've always been a 32a except for when I was breast feeding and was a 36c however I gained 55lbs while prego and was big everywhere else too so they didn't really seem big to me. Well I have since lost the baby weight plus 10lbs!! Thanks to hard work and the amazing products of Advocare! So...I am now treating myself to the breasts I've always dreamed of!!
My procedure is scheduled for 4/8/15 I go in at 5:30 am; I get to be first thank goodness! I'm getting 400cc silicone, under the muscle, inframammary incision; not sure of shape, type or profile my dr never said and after reading so many reviews on here this really concerns me so I will be calling tomorrow to ask about this! I'm wanting to be a D and when I tried the 400's on I really liked the way they looked and dr said 375 or 400 would get me there.

I'm so excited to finally get boobies but I'm so scared of not being able to take care of my 14 month old daughter. She is a mommies girl. I have my husband and mil to help but still makes me sad that I won't be able to lift her for almost 2 weeks:(

My dr also only gave me scrips for antibiotic and Vicodin. I've noticed a lot of people have received muscle relaxers and anti nausea meds. This also concerns me!! What do you ladies think? Any advise on what to wear on surgery day or what to use for the scars?
Thanks!

Called Dr office today, they will be the 400cc silicon mentor mod plus implants(guess I don't get a choice) but almost relives me so I can stop worrying about what to pick!! They also stated they do not rx muscle relaxers and if I have nausea that the Anesthesiologist would give me something...so praying I don't have that problem

You will be happy with them, that is exactly what I got but 350 cc's....my swelling is pretty much all gone and I am still completely filling a D...we shall see :-) Mentor has an Awesome warranty and a great reputation. As far as meds....I did get muscle relaxers and anti nausea meds.... I think the muscle relaxers helped but I never needed the nausea meds. I worried about absolutely every detail of everything so i'm not going to tell you not to! I would recommend getting some Arnica Gel, I found it at Target and I also took it orally, got it from a natural food store. I took a total of about 5 supplements but the other one I would highly recommend is Bromelain, it and Arnica are well know anti-inflammatories as well as great for helping prevent and treat bruising. Both are commonly used for cosmetic surgery. My recovery has been so amazingly speedy that I can't help but recommend, although my Dr swears by his quick recovery procedure I think the supplements helped as well!

That's awsome hope they stay that way I'm sure they will only get better with time! Thank you I will absolutely add those to my list to get. I'll take all the help I can get!! I take lots of supplements so adding a couple more can't hurt;)

Just checking in so I can follow you review :). Only 8 more days!! How are you feeling? I never got any muscle relaxers or anti nausea meds either, I only got 3 or 4 days worth of antibiotic and a mild pain killer which I didn't even end up needing. Hopefully you wont need them either :)

Fingers crossed!! I've never used anything stronger than ibprohin so I'm afraid it will make me sick but hopefully I wont need to take it for that long. I'm very excited and just trying to be as prepared as possible but it's kind of like child birth everyone is different and you don't really know what's it's like until it happens to you I'm assuming;)

Hi sweetie. Your surgery is soon! How exciting. Mine was yesterday. def mederma for the scarring and vitamin e capsules you can break open. I would def ask for muscle relaxed and a few nauseous pills because the codeine in the pain meds and anesthesia is what causes it. Ill be following up on you. also one bit of advice. Take everything you read on here with a grain of salt, everyone is different. I was reading too much and making myself crazy!!! ( hugs)

Thank you!! Getting very anxious:)

Can't wait to see your results. I'm sure you will love them! I also had mentor mod plus 250 cc and I loove them so far! Surprised by how big they look considering the small implant size. Thought I was a full B but mine seem to have gotten bigger as they've settled so I suspect I will end up a C cup. Best of luck to you!

Day of treatment

Feeling not to bad...

I got to the surgury center at 5:30 and taken back to pre op around 6. Several different people came in and talked to me and explained how it would all go and asked me the same questions over and over and if I had any questions. Got my IV around 7 then dr Russell came in at 7:15 marked me up and went over the surgery.

Said my goodbyes to my husband and walked back to operating room. She said she was giving me somthing to calm me(I was very nervous) I got piled with blankets on my legs and arms(that were out to the side at about a 45* angle) I remember looking at the clock and it said 7:28; then received another shot that stung and the next thing I knew I woke up in recovery!! Easy peasy!! LOL I woke up at 10:30 however the dr went and talked to my husband at 9:30 and said everything went great!!

I was in some discomfort so they gave me another shot for the pain; then wheeled me to another room where my husband was waiting. I was feeling kind of nauseous so they gave me another shot of somthing in my IV. I was still in some pain(I'm a hug baby ;)) so I ate a multigrain bar and they gave me my first dose of pain killers.

My alarm is set for 2:20 when I can take my next dose. I'm going to keep up in them for at least 2 days I'm thinking.

The TRUCK ride home sucked! I wanted my husband to drive my nice smooth car but he didn't want to so I just let it go. He got me all set up in the couch with an I e pack and I took a nap. I just woke up s little while ago feeling pretty good! Which I was not expecting at all:) Only have one pick as I havent got off the couch since arriving home!

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers!! This a wonderful site and I'm so glad I found it, just paying it foward so to speak:)
