WORTH IT$3,481
I'm 11 days post op. Feeling great. My Dr was amazing. I would have been lost without my boyfriend. For the first week i could not lay down or get up from bed without his help. He even washed my hair for me once i was allowed to shower. I have to wear a compression bra for 24hrs a day for 6-8 weeks then 12hrs a day for another 4-6 and a high support sports bra the other 12. My dr and the staff were amazing. I had a Vip room that was just as good as our 5 star hotel. I found the morphine drip didnt help mich woth the pain but i have a high tolerance for opiates after having a bad back for years. They sent me home with tramadol and that worked a treat. I thought i was set on 250cc. Its so different when trying the actual implants in a bra. Rice sizers are not a good indication at all!!! My advice fill a ziplock bag with water mls converts to cc so will give you a much better idea. I liked.the size of the 360cc so went with 390cc as you lose a little when under the muscle. So i wentwith 390cc teardrop undermuscle. Had my drains removed on day 3. Had the tape removed from my incisions on day 8. Fine lines with a couple tiny scabs. Dr Kasemsaks suturing technique is superb. My sternum is still quite sore but getting better every day. My ribs were sore for the first week and i couldnt take a deep breath for about 6 days. All in all im so happy with the whole experience. I am a very independent woman and it was hard be so incapacitated. I still have to take it easy for 3 months. I was lucky enough to have nipple sensation back straight away. The nurses were all so excited for me. I know it can take up to year to come back. I had sharp pains across both breasts mainly the right. Still having spasms here and there. Having one now because of typing for too long.. And ladies Morning boob is real. They feel taught and tender but i find witha bit of light rubbing not massage (like you would gently comfort someone on their back) helps. I.think it just creates a bit of blood flow and frees everything up. I'm taking Evening Primrose oil and vitamin E these help with breast tissue repair and skin health. Am getting sore now will write more soon.

My date has changed. They changed my dr

My date has changed. They changed my dr and i refused the dr they resigned me with. So I have a new date 4/4/17 and back with Dr Kasemsak. Only 24 days to go!! Excitement, fear, elation and anxiety are abundant ????

Can you ask about a Inspira (Allergan)Smooth Round Moderate implant with maximum width for your chest size? Would this type of implant work for you and avoid the lift? This type of implant provides upper pole fullness, Google it. I got this type since I had ZERO upper pole breast tissue left from aging and menopause (hate that word)
I'll have a google now. The hospital I'm goinh to use Mentor products. I wonder if they have a similar product.?
I am confident they do! My PS rarely uses tear drop implants since they do not help with upper pole fullness. The mentor gummy bear aka cohesive gel is what they all use.
Ok thank you. I did try and have a look but it all just makes my head swirl! Now that its getting closer anxiety is creeping in. One dr has said that if i dont have a lofe i run the risk of my nipples cascading off the implant. A friend has just had hers done and said to get unders because as we get old the skin thins and will have a visible bump where the implant starts
*lift not lofe
if you need a lift and the Dr recommends it then trust him. Definitely get unders, I have a friend with 16yr old overs and she needs a lift now since they sag and if she want unders they have to remove all her loose skin and then go under-complete redo that is costly and painful. I am sorry if I made your head spin, your PS knows best, there are just so many implants to consider and you have a nice shape and breast tissue to work with. I am only opening your eyes. My situation was pretty simple,just choosing the right size and projection was a little unnerving.
Lookong at the sizes and widths has made my head spin. Your input is invaluable. The more info i have the better. Knowledge is power. Wow 16 yrs! My mum has 36 year old overs that are saggy but she also never wore a bra. I often think her health problems stem.from.not having new ones put in. They're still perfectly intact. But surely stuff would leech out of the plastic after a while. Anyway im very grateful for you sharing your knowledge with me
Welcome, xo, if you mom has overs I can see why you want to consider them. I think many Dr's prefer unders in the US now and few offer overs, it was not really offered to me since I did not have a lot of upper pole tissue left. my friend got hers when silicone was banned. Feel free to ask me anything you want
Are yours silicone or saline?
Hi hope you're having a good day. I leave for Thailand on the 31st. Any hints for must haves for recovery?
Drugs! Muscle relaxers (RX in US) comfy, soft sports bras and nutritional food and snacks. I hope it is easy for you!
I'll be taking Valium with thats a muscle relaxant (i grind my.teeth at night
Accidentally hit post before I finished. They give you a weeks worth of pain killers and there are ones you can get over the counter there. I have one sports bra to take with me. Didnt want to get too many ahead of time as i dont know what size I'll be. Theres plenty of shopping there so should be able to pick some up. Did you have to wear underwire or no underwire? Ive seen conflicting stories i think it.might be another thing thats ps specific. Thanks again for your input. I did some more reasearch and i will definitely go unders unless he advises other wise :)

I researched for a very long time and looked at companies that had been recommended by friends. I chose Destination Beauty as i feel very comfortable with my consultant Dream. I have my consult on the 1st of April and hopefully surgery the same day. The realself site wouldnt let me type in Dr Kasemsak Pyungtanasup as my provider so just picked a random one. I apoligize for any misunderstanding Asthetics enhancements Florida is not my provider. I am 5'6"/5'7" tall and weigh 62 kgs.

due to unforseen circumstances my doctor has been changed to Dr. Kasemsak Pyungtanasup. I did some research looks like I'm in skilled hands!
What size are you choosing?
I think i only want about 250cc so probably the next size up
I got 250 Smooth, round, low plus profile. Natrelle Inspira helps with upper pole fullness!
The hospital im using yses mentor brand. Ive been thinking i would have to at least go moderate due to the length between my collar bone and nipple. Yours look amazing i hope i can achieve a great result like yours
Mentor and Allergan are both great from what I have read! Best of luck and easy recovery! I am so glad I did it!! I was happy with my small breast until 2 .5 years ago and now extremely
Thank you
I think i only want about 250cc so probably the next size up
