For as long as I can remember, I have wanted breast implants. Finally, at the young age of 36 (haha) I have taken the plunge. I am now one week from surgery, and am feeling excited and nervous. I am also a little afraid of the aftermath! I am hoping for a easy & speedy recovery. Here's to hoping!

How exciting for you! Glad your pre op appointments have gone well. Will you have someone to help you the first few days post op? You might enjoy some pre and post op support in the July 2016 breast augmentation surgery forum. Looking forward to your updates!

Profile of implants never discussed

User Avatar

I just realized, that though I explained to my PS I wanted my implants to be natural looking, the profile of the implants was never discussed. I don't know if they will be high profile or moderate profile. I guess he will choose what's best for my frame, desired look, breast width? I'm wondering if it needs to be discussed prior to the surgery date! I'm only a couple days away!

I would love to know what he says to you! I had my consultation with dr P, however we didn't talk about profiles either.

interesting! i have seen many of his before and after photos that mention profile. my guess is that he has decided based on my body and my desire of natural looking . . . we shall see. I'll ask him when I'm in for surgery on Thursday. Woot!

OH! One more thing. You will have to get this antibacterial wash to use 5 days before surgery. It's liquid, and I found by putting it in a spray bottle it's MUCH easier to use....so fyi. When is your surgery?
July 19, 2016
That's a good tip! I will keep it in mind for my surgery

He will decide for you based on your measurements and the volume you chose. I didn't know what profile I was getting either until I asked him right before surgery!
Good luck with everything! I hope you have an easy recovery :-)

Oh! Good to know. I didn't question any of his suggestions, size, material etc. The man knows his stuff!

Hey! How did it go? how are you feeling?

I'm doing well, better than I thought I would be doing. Also doing the frozen peas and staying elevated. I still haven't showered or taken off my bra to see the girls yet

I had mine done in March of this year and he used high profile on me. It seems like that is what he mostly uses

I imagine you are happy with them? I just love the tear drop look! but I know he only uses round at this time, and for good reason. Apparently the tear drop ones can turn around!

I'm extremely happy with my results... They look full and natural and don't appear to have the bolt on look of some implants. I find they look better and better each month.

I asked about profile pre-op, and he says the body actually decides this for you, depending on the width of the breast! Because I'm more petite, he said they would most likely end up high profile, which is fine. I'm sure when they settle, they'll look great! I totally trust him. The man knows his stuff!

Surgery Day!

Everything went as smooth as it possibly could be. Dr. Pugash and his wonderful staff took very good care of me. When I awoke in the recovery room, I felt a little pressure, but not much. The only thing that was bothering me was the IV in my arm, a little tender, but other than that, I was A-Ok!

The nurses helped me into my surgical bra and brought me over to a lounge chair to chill for a bit while I waited for my ride. I had some ginger-ale, and texted a couple of friends to let them know I was finished surgery and doing fine.

Not much pain at all. Definitely tight, with swelling, but more like a muscle ache than pain. So far so good! Put myself on a schedule for my antibiotics, pain killers + 3 advil (200mg), probiotics. I couldn't fit in my multi-vitamin, so I've been drinking the green juice I prepared the night before (spinach, arugula, cabbage, apple, ginger, carrot, so good!). I'm trying to keep my nutrient intake high, fibre intake high, but it's hard because I'm really not that hungry! I know the pills have been known to cause nausea and even vomiting, so I'm making sure I eat at least something with every dose, just to help prevent any adverse reactions to the meds.
