38 Year Old. Three Kids. Breast lift with 450cc, smooth, round, silicone, moderate plus profile, sub-muscular implants

I am hoping for a perkier, fuller look as breastfeeding 3 children have made my boobs saggy. I have recently lost about 15Kgs and any volume I had has gone.
I am extremely nervous about the procedure. My main concerns are having a general anaesthetic as I've never had one before and any complications that may arise after the procedure.

Yesterday was the big day and I was scared to death. It was my first ever surgical procedure and all I could think was what if I don't wake up from the anaesthetic? I arrived on time at 6:45am as I was told I would be the first patient of the day. It turns out this got changed and I was in the waiting room for about two hours stewing in my own fears. Eventually they got to me and I was engaged in two pre-op chats before being taken to a bed and given a sedative as well as three warm blankets. Soon after, my surgeon, Mr Vijayasekaran, peeked around the curtain all happy and smiley as always. He took all my measurements and drew lines all over me and then it was time to go. My boyfriend and his mother could only watch on as I was wheeled away with tears streaming down my face. The sedative did nothing for my fear of this surgery. They took me to the holding bay where I was fitted with compression stockings and a hair net. Next my anaesthetist, Dr Longhorn, showed up and took me into the theatre. He could see my panic and said he would give me a little something to settle me. That's the last thing I remember.

Five hours later I was back in a ward. I had woken up! I had actually survived! Everything was very hazy for a while and there are several things I can't remember like phoning my mother. A bit later I was feeling quite good again. I was ready to try walking around and I was feeling no pain. From then on it was just the occasional check-up from a nurse otherwise the whole experience in the ward was very relaxing. No worrying about cleaning the house and no kids needing my constant attention. I'm so glad I have now had this experience because my fear of anaesthetic was almost crippling. I don't know how I even held myself together before the surgery. Now if I ever need surgery in the future I will be a lot more confident. I was discharged at 10am the next day.

So far I have said very little about how my breasts have turned out so I had better get onto that. At the moment it is hard for me to tell anything. I still have texta marks all over my chest because I can't rub them off yet and they are covered in dressings. In my surgical bra and clothes they seem to be smaller than I had hoped. I had 450cc moderate profile round implants so this is surprising. On the other hand when I took the bra off and took a photo they look much bigger. I suppose that means I can make them look as big or small as I want. Perhaps that will be handy.

In conclusion, this whole experience has been very easy in hindsight. As far as I can tell Mr Vijayasekaran has done a fantastic job. I might be a little unsure about the size at this stage but the shape looks great. I have my post-op appointment on Tuesday.

Not much has changed since day 1 so there's no point in posting new photos. I have been terrified to take my post op bra off because I feel like everything will fall out. I'm insanely itchy around my stitches and I hope someone can give me a solution when I go in for my appointment on Tuesday. I finally showered the top half of my body today which was a scary experience. I then had to slowly blow dry the dressings before finally finding the safety of my bra once more. So what else has been happening? I have tried some dresses on and have loved how they look now. I still used the bra so I couldn't experience the full effect but things look promising. I tried to take my measurements today just out of curiosity and if I took them correctly, I think I might be a 10G at the moment. I don't know how that might change in the coming months but it's a nice thought. Oh by the way, I have been feeling some occasional squelching in my breasts. It feels really weird but my boyfriend tried to look it up and seems to think it's normal. I hope he is right but either way I intend to address it when I visit my surgeon on Tuesday. The pain has not been too bad overall. I suppose the medication has been doing its job. I have been given Endone for the pain but I really don't like it because it makes me feel really out of it. Hopefully I don't need it for much longer. That's all I can think of for now so I'll leave it there.
