Visitors' Stories -- Linda (page 1 of 5) (Breast Augmentation, behind muscle, crease incision, McGhan round saline, L - 300cc filled to 320cc, R- 330cc filled to 360cc; Liposuction of hips, outer thighs, lower abs, under butt.) Personal Story - I am 41 years old and have wanted breasts since I was 20. I had several consultations over the years but never really got serious about it until now. I decided to have breast augmentation along with Liposuction of my hips, outer thighs and lowers abs. I was pear-shaped sporting size 10 hips with a size4-6 waist and A cup breasts. I just wanted to get more into proportion and have a little maintenance done while I was still young enough to recover nicely. I have no children, am 5'10" and 140 lbs. I have a thin frame and have a narrow ribcage. Surgery Date - Wednesday, March 12, 2003 Arrived at Surgery Center at 6:30am, changed into a gown, nurse started IV fluids (at this point I told the nurse that I didn't want to do this and that I wanted to go home), doctor came in and marked me up, anesthesiologist came in and asked questions and started relaxing me, they wheeled me into OR, I slid from gurney to OR table and that is the last I remember. Recovery Room - The next thing I knew they were waking me up asking about my level of pain, I felt intense burning pain on top of breasts, they immediately gave me morphine. They sat me up in chair and encouraged me to eat crackers and drink 7-up, my head was spinning, I threw up just once. I had brought my Arnica Montana 30 tablets with me and started 5 tablets under my tongue right away, this is for bruising and stiffness. My breasts were not wrapped at all, and no bra was placed on me. My doctor wanted me to just be free, only Telfa pads were placed on each incision. I had a crotchless girdle that went from just under my breasts to above my knee. I told the nurse that I wanted to pee and then I went home. I only lived 10 minutes from surgery center, so ride home was fine. I did not put on the seatbelt. I arrived home at 3pm. |
