Why I Wanted Breast Augmentation
Ever since I was in high school I was always teased out being flat-chested! None of my clothes ever fit right, I had terrible self esteem!

My Research
Most of my research was done at BreastImplants4You.com. Without these girls I would have never made it through!

My Consultation
My consultation was great. Dr. Solomon was so informative and really confident of his work. Which made me feel very confident for choosing him as my PS.

Surgery Preparation
I cleaned uncontrollably, and did mass food shopping for my husband. He loves to cook but hates going to the food store. I filled all of my prescriptions and rented a whole bunch of movies.

Surgery Day
The day of the surgery I was very nervous. We had to drive about 45 min to the surgicenter. When my husband and I got there there were tons of forms to fill out. Then they took me in the back and hooked me up to a heart monitor and put in my IV. About an hour after that the DR came in and drew all over my chest. Within a 1/2 hour of that I was wheeled into the OR. All I remember after that is waking up in the recovery room in PAIN and feeling VERY tight. They kept giving me morphine & Demerol. Then I had some juice and crackers and got dressed to go home. I don't remember much from the ride home except the rain. It rained SO hard. When I got home I slept the rest of the day except to wake up for my meds.

My Recovery
The first two days were absolutely terrible! I was in A LOT of pain! Day three I was off the Percocets and just using Tylenol for the pain.

How I Feel Now
Well, right now I am at day 4 and I just feel sore and tired. I well Keep you posted.

Advice For Pre-ops
Advice would be to expect the worst pain and it won't be as bad just don't try and do too much too soon. Let people wait on you.
