BL/BA on January 14, 2010

So, I am 28 years old and just had a breast lift/augmentation (420 cc's). On Thursday I will be two weeks post-op and I look pretty darn good if I do say so myself, lol. The pictures are password protected: PWILLOWS and you have to be my friend to see them so if you wanna take a peek then just shoot me a friend request. Enjoy!!!

They look awesome! Are those silicone strips or still from surgery? I am having just a lift, I have a lot of breast tissue, I hope they turn out as good as yours!!

They are steri-strips and I am horrible at being patient. I just want to rip them off but I know I can't. I'm sure yours will turn out just fine without an implant. Do you mind me asking how old you are? Thank you for the sweet compliment...

I am 33, I thought I would just need a tt (going to resident program in Chicago) but then the chief of surgery suggested a lbl and bl for the best outcome, I guess I really never paid any attention to my backside...LOL So, Friday I am getting them both done with a little lipo I guess. I asked about the silicone strips and the doc said not necessary so I am always curious what others are doing...I

They look AWESOME EM.

J - I just had a lift and I am totally pleased but I didn't care if I was a full C or a D. :)

Leah, the dr said I would be a big C or a small D, I don't care either...if I decide one day I want implants than I will add them, but I doubt it! I can't wait until Friday!! How is your swelling? Feeling any better?

In general I feel better cause I am sleeping. The Dr. gave me a RX last week. Physically...I don't know. It was aspirated yesterday and they got 375 CC's. He had a hard time because it was innoculated (sp?). So he didn't get it all. It's still really full in my opinion but I can sleep with my binder zipped. I couldn't before. The plan is to wait a week or two and see if it starts reabsorbing or if we need to aspirate again and a catheter drain. Sigh. So while I am not in pain I am still VERY uncomfortable.

So sorry, I hope it goes down so you feel better. They say there is always that chance of complications, but who ever thinks it could be them?? Hoping everything goes better for you soon...Jenny

Exactly - I knew the risks. I was educated. But that head knowledge isn't really helpful when you experience it and your emotions are involved. It could have been worst. I have a great local Dr. who is helping me and I am staying in contact with Dr. S. It is what it is.

Hi Emily,

I would love to see your pics - can you add me as a friend? I am scheduled for Ext TT and BL/BA on 2/26 and not sure what type of implants yet. Did you have saline or silicone gel?

Thanks Again!
