Her surgery was this morning.
Details:
- Inamed model 68 (smooth, round) moderate profile 800cc saline implants overfilled to 1000cc each
- under the muscle
- breast fold incision
- vertical mastopexy
I don't *think* I've missed any noteworthy detail, but if so, ask away.
The worst part for her was the post-op nausea. Some serious, serious nausea.
But I got her hooked up with her anti-nausea meds as soon as we got home, and she conked out soon thereafter.
As soon as we were on the road, she felt they weren't big enough.
Once she woke up, she wanted to take a better look at the new boobs. And it was the first time I got a good chance to check them out, too (apart from a glimpse as the nurse helped her into the car, and some VERY light touching). This time I was slightly more touchy-feely. I completely avoided anywhere there were stitches, but a good portion of the implants are (for now) up to her collarbones. I was warned by the nurse that they'd look pretty high up and boxy, and I'd seen enough surgery shows that my expectations were already set to expect something less than picture perfect boobs. No surpises there.
As far as pain level, she said on a scale of '1' to '10' it's a '3'. Compare that with the '9' she said she was feeling immediately after her LAP-band surgery. She even said that if she had to do it again tomorrow, she could do it, no problem.
Yeah, they're very firm at the moment, but obviously the implant pocket is pretty damn tight around them at the moment. Check back in a few months (heck, even a month from now) and no doubt the description will be different.
I'm sure this news is a bit of a surprise to many of you. We were keeping this pretty much on the down low. Didn't want to jinx anything and find ourselves posting "well we've had a delay", etc. Took a while to get our ducks in a row as I'm sure a few of you might remember, but a recent bit of good luck produced the opportunity for us to take.
Oh yeah. No doubt there will be request for pics.
I've taken a pic, I'll upload it shortly. But I'll tell you this, a pic just can't convey the 3-D essence of being there in person.
