Cat's Breast Augmentation Story
I first found my surgeon on the internet and after extensive research, went to
consult with him about a month and a half before my surgery date. At the
consult, he was very courteous and kind. He measured me extensively, and
suggested the crease incision for best placement and moderate profiles
to fill out my chest. I asked him about 3 pages full of questions and he
gladly answered them all, impressed that I had taken the time to do the
research about this procedure. After an hour or so, I was passed to
Vicky, his patient coordinator and we talked about the scheduling.
After my consult, I decided to go bigger, and after reviewing his notes,
my surgeon
decided I could attain the bigger size and still look natural. His
primary concern seemed to always be how I would look in the end,
including the symmetry of my own body. In the interim, I proceeded to
get the baseline mammogram, the blood work and pregnancy test he
required.
The Saturday before my surgery date, I got in a HUGE car accident and
ended up burning my wrist pretty badly and bruising my chest. I called
my surgeon
over the weekend and he said that he would still perform the surgery,
but that he didn't want to "add insult to injury." He wanted to be sure
that emotionally I was o.k. as well as physically. I was so excited that
he would still perform the surgery.
Tuesday morning, I arrived at his office early with my mother and he
took pictures, examined me more thoroughly, and offered to clean my
burned wrist for me while I was in surgery. I went in a little nervous,
but pretty confident, and fell asleep to wake up to beautiful breasts.
In the recovery room, I awoke a little nauseated, but fine. my surgeon
informed me he had put in 420 cc's and that despite the internal
bruising from my accident I would easily achieve a full D and look
perfect. Also, through a specific cutting technique, he was able to fix
my slight asymmetry and help me to achieve fuller breasts.
I went home to my mom's house and after an hour nap, felt energized. I
was able to go out to dinner with my mom that first night and literally
resume my life right away. I had such an easy recovery and really didn't
need my pain pills at all. I had full use of my arms immediately and was
really self sufficient right away. I was just happy I could pee on my
own. my surgeon sent me a big flower arrangement (which my cat ate,) and
called to see how I was doing, telling me to call the office right away
should I have any concerns, no matter how small. I am at 2 weeks post
op, and have seen my surgeon
pretty regularly for post op appointments, every other day for the first
week and a half and then I won't need to go again for another 2 weeks.
He's monitored my progress really closely and has continued to care for
my wrist, helping it to heal regularly as well. I have not had any
bruising or any real discomfort in my breasts and they are already
beginning to drop and heal nicely. I attribute all of this to my surgeon's
skill as a surgeon and his very personal demeanor. He has really helped
me to achieve my goal and I look wonderful.
