Breast Lift Using Horndeski Method LOVE 'EM! - Sugar Land, TX

I can't believe I actually did this. I have been thinking about it for about 4-5 years before taking the plunge.
Six years of breastfeeding left it's toll.
I liked the size of my breasts in a bra but they were just very droopy naked.
The questions was: do I dislike them enough to opt for surgery and either deal with vertical scar of a traditional breast lift or the perkier fuller option with the Horndeski method that generally seems to come out with a less ideal scar/skin distribution at the arm pit but no vertical scar.
So just 10 days ago I underwent the Horndeski method breast lift.
I am going to keep updating this as progress occurs because I really found this helpful in my decision.
I especially got a lot out of the reviews by PandaBoobs and silverchica

So we traveled to Houston and had the procedure. Maybe people generally have a better idea about plastic surgery than I had but I have to admit I had no idea what major ordeal this would be.
So I was in for a shock. After surgery my breasts felt so hard and foreign.
I specifically chose this method to avoid implants so I did not expect this.
Worst of all after taking of the bandages at 1 day post op my first reaction was really a feeling of loss of my own old 'mom boobs'.
No crease, no slope...nothing about the post op boobs looked like me. It was a lot to take in.
I also usually don't take meds so being so tired, vision disturbances and inability to drive due to all of the above was unexpected.
The first week was rough.
I still had too much drainage to take out the drains while we were in Sugar Land so my boyfriend removed them for me 5 days post op at home.
Reading the other reviewers I was kind of glad because if it's painful either way then I definitely prefer to have it done by a loved one etc.
Life with drains was a pain so taking the drains off was the first noticeable relief.
I am noticing a bump under my arm pit on the left. I am hoping it's just remaining fluid and not tissue. Elisa suggested a rolled up sock in the bra in that area to see if it can be adjusted that way.
I am still surprised how much of a deal the surgery is. I don't dare to drive for very long and this times when I overdo it and my chest swells and gets super firm I really feel very sad about it.
Today is day 9 post op though and things have gotten a lot better.
I can drive okay. I no longer take any meds so the side effects from those are gone.
I can go to the restroom again and I can wash my hair again.
I am no longer woozie and I am back at work. I might just survive this after all!

It's been 13 days! Swelling is going down and they are starting to look a bit more like adult human breasts. LOL
Tomorrow the steri strips come off. I am a bit nervous. I've kind of avoided looking at things closely so I don't freak myself out.
I wanted to mention my favorite bra. Some people have mentioned the JC Penney Ambrielle Balconette but it just seems so flimsy to me. Maybe I will like them better later. For right now I am loving the Victoria Secret Mult-Way Balconette. It feels like body armor...nothing moves, lots of boning high up.
