I had schedule my surgery mutual consultation for Dec 26th and booked my suggest for January 8th. After having 6 children over the past 19 years and 4 of them in the last 13 the little boob I did have was very deflated. I received mentor xtra 470cc Subfascial breast augmentation. I did do the local anesthesia versus general where they out you to sleep. It wasn’t that bad you could feel the middles they used to numb and other that a few spots I could barely feel them. I had a few jolt feelings while they were doing the augmentation and if I told them they would stop and with numb it or wait for it to kick in. I had a great experience and I was so nervous for the whole procedure. I have wanted a breast augmentation for probably 15-20 years and now that I am done having kids it was time. I was a 32b in Victoria secret but more like. 32 a nice I wasn’t breast feeding or pregnant. The staff at the Pittsburgh surgical center were all so kind and helpful and even doctor Davila. (Hopefully I spelled that right) Todya is day one and I feel great.

Hi! Question for you. I'm one day post op, same procedure with mesh. We're you sore in your top ribs well below the incision? I feel like I have bruised ribs and that's more painful than any other area. Thanks in advance!!

I am 3 days PO. I am still very swollen but they are not hard they are more soft. Most of my pain is from my incision area. I feel like they are to wide still and hoping that when the swelling goes down they will look better.

I am very happy I went with him and with the subfascial. I am going to add an update soon. But the healing process has been pretty good and not very painful at all.

I'm a little nervous about the local anesthesia. Did you get any other oral meds or anything to relax you prior to the surgery?

I am going to be making a YouTube video but it might take a month or so because I’m new to it. They had me take Xanax before and then I took a pain pill, muscle relaxer, medicine, nerve pill and antibiotic. I was a little nervous and I think it was way better than I expected.

What’s your YouTube handle?

I will be posting an update soon. Healing has been going good. Not much pain at all and what I do have feel like a bruise soreness and that’s around the outside. If I move my arms to much or reach to much I get more of a pain in my arm pit area and side of my boob. I only took the strong pain meds the first day and just Tylenol after and I could have gone without it. I still she lots of swelling and I have the tightness feeling from it in my boobs. Overall I am very happy.

In your update you said he thought you need a post…did you mean lift? I was also told my one side needed a little lift but would do both to match and I really don’t want a lift. He said it was up to me.

Yea my phone likes to change stuff and I’m bad at rereading. The 3d machine said I did but my doc said I didn’t. I wouldn’t have gotten one if I did. I did get the internal bra to help keep mine up. Sometimes a higher profile can help with out a lift.

Day 5 and day 6 photos. My healing has been pretty easy and pain free. I have only been taking Tylenol since the day after and mainly to help with swelling. I am taking arnica and bromelain 3 times a day per my surgeons directions. I have very little bruising. I don’t have any pain on my boob itself just on the edge in the side mostly and maybe a little at the bottom. I’m nice in a while I will get a sharp pain on my right side but that’s usually when I lean the wrong way or reach to much. I still have a good bit of swelling and my left is more than my right. The middle between my breast sometimes has a burning sensation and it’s pretty swollen, it feels like my skin is pulling away from my chest. It’s not super painful more uncomfortable like if you put Vicks on your skin. I still feel like the look too wide but I’m sure they will look better when the swelling goes down. I was very bloated from the fluid draining down until day 4 now I don’t have much in my abdomen. I will say the most uncomfortable part is the having to sleep at an angle. My surgeon said 60 degrees, my back has been hurting from sleeping elevated. My shoulders also hurt but I think that is from laying on the table during surgery as I could feel my shoulders hurting during surgery. My boobs were never really har Dewey have always been squishy from the day they were done. I met with the nurse today to have my stitch removed and she said I can shower normal just dry the incision, still sleep elevated a few more days, wear my bra until 2 weeks but I can take small breaks, and she said I don’t need to do massages unless the surgeon thinks I need to but it wouldn’t be until like 2 months. She said 80% of the swelling should go down by 2 weeks the rest by 3-4 weeks. My next check up is at 1 month.
