Breast lift with implants today 10/22/13

[Sassygirl06 962]

Hey all! I already wrote this and thought I posted it, but I guess it didn't work! Hate it when that happens!

So I had the surgery this morning at 7 am. It took 4 hours. My implant size was 457 cc's . That sounds like a lot, but they ended up being only slightly bigger then my original ones. They are so full! Pain is minimal compared to what my Tummy Tuck pain was like. They are so perky! I am so thankful for Percocet!!! Well if there is anyone out there who needs/ wants to know anything just message me! Good luck to you all! Hope everyone can come out of their surgeries as well as I have!

I will post pictures as soon as I can

Glad to hear you're doing well. Pics when you can would be great, but I'm assuming you need to keep everything wrapped up for a while

Oh I am so glad to hear you are doing well. I always worry when our members go under. Glad you're feeling and are perky!

When I came out of being under with my Tummy Tuck I was crying for my husband. I wasn't in very much pain, but was emotional. When I came to today not only was I crying for my hubby, but I was in so much pain! They gave me something in my iv that helped a little, but then fed me crackers so that they could give me Percocet. After they gave me the Percocet it took about 20 minutes before I could tolerate the pain. I felt really heavy, and my pain level was at about an 8! Once the Percocet did its job I felt great. I am able to lift my arms just fine, and the pain I feel now is more like soreness from an impending period. I am extremely swollen right now. I was able to see some of my new tatas when I needed a dressing change. They are so round, and perky! I love them already and I just can't wait till I get to see them for real! My hubby loves them already! IMy head is spinning in disbielief that I finally have my plastics done! I feel like a completely different person then I was at the beginning of this journey! I just can't believe that I have gotten everything out of this journey that I wanted. I feel sooooooo lucky right now!

I have made a pact with myself to always live my life to the fullest.....starting with today! if anyone has any questions please don't hesitate to ask....even if it is in a private message!

Congrats Sassygirl. I bet you're glad to be over and done with the surgeries. You'll heal up quickly.....you've already been through this so you know what's involved. This will certainly be easier than the TT. Best of luck and I'm glad you're happy with the results.

So far it's looking like I will be a 38 ddd. I was already a dd so I'm not that much bigger, just a whole lot perkier. They are pretty bruised up right now, and still really swollen. I hadn't had much pain until today. I fell asleep wrong where I had my left arm up to high. My hubby came in to move me and when he did I had a pain unlike I have ever had before! It was worse then giving birth! It felt like I had a large hot poker being shoved up through my upper arm through my armpit and into my left breast. I have never screamed so loudly in my life! My poor husband thought I was going to die. He almost called an ambulance. I couldn't move or be moved for about five minutes. Then finally I had to pull up my big girl panties, counted 3,2,1 and had my husband help me off of the bed quickly. When I got up the pain subsided enough for me to gain my composure. I immediately called my surgeon to tell him what happened and after I described it to him he said he believed I had a muscle spasm and that I needed to take it easier. I have had a couple more quick sharp pains like that one since, but they have been easy to go through since they were quick.

I am going to try and upload some pictures to my gallery today if it is working now. The recovery from the breast augmentation with lift has been much easier then the recovery from the Tummy Tuck. I am very thankful that I did not get both surgeries at the same time! I just think it would have been way to hard of a recovery.

My Tummy Tuck was $7500.... My breast lift with silicone implants was $8600. I went through a local plastic surgeon. His name is Dr. wally Hosn. He is wonderful! I would recommend him to anyone. After my surgery he gave me his home phone number to call for any problems. He also called me after both of my surgery's to make sure I was doing ok. I have never had a doctor be so through, and kind! As far as the scars go...he doesn't use sutures or stitches, or staples. He uses tape so that your scars are minimal. After only 6 weeks post op from a tummy tuck, and 4 days post op from my breast surgery I am still raving about this doctor!

Was your plastic surgery covered under your insurance and if so what were the requirements.

[Sassygirl06 962]

No it wasn't covered. They had a very specific clause in my plan that says no skin removal for any reason. I was very fortunate to have a husband who loves me very much....and saw how much it would mean to me to have plastics done and so therefore paid for me to have them done. I only paid $45 for my sleeve so I guess I can't really complain about having to pay for plastics. Even if I had to pay for them for the rest of my life they would have still been worth every penny!

Congratulations on all your TT and your breast lift too! Wow you look amazing!! Yay for hubby who loves their wives enough to see them through all the plastic's and support you all the way!!

Curious why did you go with silicone instead of the saline? And are you pain free now?
