Getting Breast Augmentation in a week

[PowerPrincess]

Hey Everyone,

I'm so excited, I have breast augmentation sugery in a week
What I'd like to know is from the ladies who have had this surgeyr and the men whose wifes and s/o's have had this surgery - are there any special things or actions i should take before and after the surgery. Any ideas on what i can do to prevent excess weight gain while working out is not allowed and then later limited??? Any special tricks you guys had when having this surgery - i'd really appreciate!!!
Thanks for your help!!!!

I had my surgery July 26. I went under the muscle and under the arm pit, 425cc each. I had very,very little soreness afterwards. He did a wonderful job. I ate lots of jello just because that's all I wanted. I am just being unpatient now because one of my breast has not dropped like the other one and to me they look funny and it's driving me NUTS!!!!!!!!! My boyfriend was very helpful.. And a tip from me: I put everything I needed on the table next to me. I found it more comfortable to sleep in the recliner attached to me couch... It is hell trying to get out of the bed and plus sleeping flat was uncomfortable for me.. But wherever you decide to sleep make sure someone is there to help you up. I was stubborn and tried to do it myself and was shocked at how much you use those muscles to get up..
GOOD LUCK!!!!

Has anybody experienced the uneven dropping of the breast? My doctor said it is the skin that needs to stretch a little more and that the one stretched faster that the other... He said to massage and in two months they will look the same.. He promised... Any info on this??????

What method of entry are you using? also how big are you now? And how many cc’s are you getting? Over or under the muscle?

A girlfriend of mine just got hers done like 3 weeks ago, threw the belly button, and OVER the muscle…her stomach swelled up and still isnt totally back to normal..her boobs are swolen like I cant describe..i still cant apply much pressure at all if I touch them as they are still feeling black and blue….she was feelling like shit for a few days..shes better now..but she is still sore…she got around 400cc and I think she was a small C before she got the surgery now shes a FULL D. She took Tylenol and codene I think but it made her feel like shit…you are going to notice even the slightest move is gonna hurt…you will realize how many every day activities you do that will hurt…anywhere from reaching to get a dish out of the cabinet to trying to bend over and tie your shoes.


Where are you getting this done? upstate by you or closer down to NYC?

Wohoo! 1 week!

First, if you haven't already, check www.implantinfo.com - there should be a prep list of things to do before the surgery. Some hi lights I recall are:

- set up a comfortable place to sit & sleep for the next few days - you will be in pain & getting up & sitting down suck. Climbing stairs is a bitch. I ended up sleepign in a recliner chair for a few days because it hurt too much to lay back & then get up again.

- Get a few bags of frozen peas - these work GREAT as "ice packs" to help w/ the swelling.

- If you dont' have anyone in the house to help you at all times, move some of the things you need down to lower shelves until your doc says you can lift your arms higher. For me this included my dishes & dry food in my kitchen, my toothbrush & contact solution in the bathroom.

- If you can help it, don't drive for a while -- a few days - turning around to check your blind spot hurts like mofo.

- Expect to bloat a little from the antibiotics - they suggested lots of water & use of fiber to help w/ that. It passes tho.

- Depending on how long and how many of the painkillers you use (vicadins , etc), you might experience a small depression when you get all the painkiller out of your system -- for ex, I was on vicadins for 4 days post op, then a week later I hit a nice week long depression. It passes, so not a big deal. But mentally you might want to be prepared for it so you dont' turn to food because you arent' sure why you are so bummed out.

- After the first few days you might want to find someone who can give you a good back massage - you will prob be sore from sitting for a day or two and you can't lay down for a massage (chest down) so a nice massage is awesome!

- Be patient waiting to get the bandages, etc. off. The best day of your life is when you get to go bra shopping for those D's & DD's!

As far as avoiding weight gain & training -- check w/ your doc about what he says for training -- I actually began training for a bb show 3 months after I got the surgery. And just listen to your body. If it hurts, dont' do it. It will probably take you alittle longer to get back to chest training. And also all of a sudden you realize you need better "support" when u do cardio....! Its worth it to get the good sports tops/bras. While you are waiting to get back in the gym, just dont' eat alot. Keep your diet clean & consistent and you should be just fine. And don't freak with the bloat post-op -- just expect it, be patient & it will go away.

I had "unders" done, so my experience w/ recovery was prob more painful & longer than would be for someone who got "overs". What are you getting? If "unders" , then you will probably have less trouble and not have to go thru some of the above stuff. I also took a week off of work to recover.

What size were you before and what size did 425cc's make you??? Did your doc overfill???

As far as the dropping of the boobs - here's a website, go down to the bottom for the message boards - has sooo many posts all pertaining to your new boobs

Thanks for the jello idea.

I am doing it the TUBA way - through the belly button for no scars I'm getting 425cc's overfilled and over the muscle b/c i have breast tissue already, hopefully it'll make me near a D cup - I'll be thrilled .


Where are you getting this done? upstate by you or closer down to NYC?

I am getting it done in NYC - Dr. Grossman, plus classes end for me on friday - so i'll have 2 1/2 weeks to heel some before I have to go back upstate to college

THANKS FOR ALL THOSE GREAT TIPS SASSY69!!!!!!!!!

How much fiber do you think i should take daily and how much water should i ingest???

I'm going over the muscle, so hopefully it won't be as painful as some have described. Plus i have an extremely high tolerance for pain

Also, how bad is the water bloat?????

I can't wait to go bra shopping - my boyfriend already told me he's taking me to victoria secret to get a "nice" little outfit after the operation

Also, my doc told me that i can begin weights and cardio as early as 2 weeks after the surgery but chest exercises have to wait 3 months for proper heeling.

Question - did your doc tell you that you couldn't wear a bra for 3-4 weeks after the surgery - cause mine did - and I feel like that's gonna be a little odd - sitting bra less in class while wearing tight clothes - ya know!!
