Visitors' Stories -- # 74 (page 3 of 3) And they are just perfect shapes. Whereas my nipples were previously pointing off to the sides, now they point straight ahead. Where they were not aligned, the nipples are now even. 420 High Profiles, filled to 420 in the Left breast and overfilled to 500 in the Right breast to counteract for all my chestwall and breast tissue asymmetries. And they look GREAT! Mom and I went to Short Pump Mall (gorgeous new outdoor mall) for dinner and shopping, just a great time! I felt terrific! And this is Day ONE! Dr. D. cuts very, very little. Other than the incision site, he LIFTS the tissue and pec muscles to put in the implant. He doesn't cut the muscle attachers. There is very little to bleed, hurt or require healing. Post Op Day 2 - Sunday The following day, Sunday, Mom headed home and my best friend arrived. We napped, went out for a fabulous dinner at Hondo's, relaxed, called our families (take a phone card), checked email on the computers off the lobby, and talked. It was like a fun slumber party! Post Op Day 3 - Monday My second and final follow-up with Dr. DeWire was at Noon the next day, Monday. Dr. DeWire was pleased that I was so happy with the beautiful results. Then my friend and I had lunch, shopped, she dropped me at the airport, and following a 3 hour flight, I was home! Costs: I spent $360 for the Homewood Suites hotel. Using hotel points and Frequent Flier miles, my travel costs were minimal. Was it worth it to go someplace out of town for a great surgeon? Yes indeed! And I had a great time doing it. It was very exciting to fly off by myself on a great adventure. Home Again- Monday Night I slept in a recliner in the bedroom until post-op Day 6. At 9 days post I was drying off my minivan after the car wash. How amazing to be working out at 2 weeks post-op! I really started to feel "normal" when I stopped the Percocet on Day 5 Post-Op. Bruising was gone by Day 10, upper pole fullness is diminishing (though I love the High Profiles!), and the aching in the morning is lessening. For 3 weeks I'll wear an underwire bra 24/7 to set the lowered Left crease and to support the side fascias. I massage several times daily to keep the pocket open, which doesn't hurt at all. As for size, shape and recovery, I could not be any happier. With Dr. D's success of zero infection in out-of-town patients and very few problems which are typically evident at the time of surgery, the follow up typically does not require extended trips. All in all, I am AMAZED at how smoothly the recovery went, how great my breasts look, how happy I am that I came out a 34D, and how great a surgeon and person I think Dr. DeWire is! It was one of the best experiences of my life and I am thrilled with the outcome. Thanks to everyone on ImplantInfo for the information, support and encouragement! I hope this helps someone as your stories did for me.
