Brandi's Breast Augmentation Story

Hello all. I would like to share my experience with you.  Here goes...

When I was growing up, I always had the smallest boobs.  It really made me feel like the "outcast".  I made a decision then that I was going to have a boob job one day!  Well, I got married, had children, and my boobs shrunk even more after every kid, which made me even more disgusted with myself.  I would hate to look at myself in the mirror.  I would hate for my husband to "foreplay" with them b/c it made me feel like he didn't have enough to play with, even though he says he did.  (Sorry if TMI.)

I had told my hubby that I wanted to use my share of the tax money for me this year.  After weeks of disagreeing, he finally said ok.  So I started checking it out.  I had already checked on it previously and found a doctor in my area that was certified and stuff.  His name was Dr. John Williams.  So, I called this doctor that I had found a few months earlier to set up an appointment.  I went to my consult and I felt so relieved and confident in this doctor.  He had shown me all the different types of incisions, implants, and various photos of his work. He did an excellent job.  Then we went into the room and he started checking my breasts out.  He then let me put on a bra of the size that I wanted to go and gave me an implant to put inside the bra to see if that is what I wanted.  We had agreed on 425cc (though during surgery he only put 400), which would make me a Full C cup.  We set a preop date.  I paid my money and got my prescriptions to fill.  They gave me tons of information on what to do and what not to do before and after the surgery. 

Finally the day of my surgery was here!  March 13, 2004, at 7:45 am.  We got up really early, so that maybe they would take me earlier...I couldn't sleep any longer anyway!  Got there, the doctor and nurses were late!  Finally we got in and he took my pre-op pics and drew some lines on me.  I went to the waiting room, signed my papers, and then kissed my hubby good bye. I went in the surgery room.  I got on the table. I was very nervous!  They spread my arms out on the table.  The anesthesiologist started giving me a shot in the arm to numb where he was gonna put the IV.  I remember telling the nurse that I was afraid of needles so she held my hand and talked.  I remember she would not stop talking!  Then that's all I remember. 

When I woke up, I was very thirsty.  The nurse kept telling me to take deep breaths and I kept telling her to get  me some water and that I wanted to go to sleep.  She asked me if I wanted my hubby to come in and I said yes.  She then kept telling me, "You can go home whenever you want."  I said, "I just wanna go to sleep."  I remember them rolling me out to the truck in a wheelchair.  Got in, and that's all I remember of the ride home.  I remember getting home and out of the truck and then going to sleep. My hubby took great care of me.  He would wake me up to take my meds.  He'd help me in and out of bed and the bathtub.  He was great!  He went back to work that Monday. I was ok with the kids.  I just couldn't hold Kenzie too much.  Well, I went back to work that Tuesday.  It went well, but I was icing them down by the end of the night!


I'm happy with my results.  I am happy with the way that he did the surgery.  I'm just kicking myself in the butt everyday wishing that I would have opted for the bigger size.  Well, there's always the redo right! So, my redo came earlier than I expected.  When I was three months post op, I started noticing that my left breast was alot harder and higher than my right breast.  Guess what...I got Bakers Grade III CC.  I went to see my PS.  He gave me Accolate after I begged him to.  It didn't help so I opted for the capsulectomy as he suggested.  I was then six months post op.


One thing I can say, I don\'t regret getting the breast size that I have always wanted.
