Melissa’s Blog: Conclusion
June 8th, 2009
This has been an amazing experience. But first, I want to continue with the various reactions I received from friends and acquaintances. Four days following my surgery, after dropping my five year old daughter from school, I found myself surrounded by a group of women who had been following my story. They were simply intrigued by what they saw, my new enhanced chest. Those same women said they were happy for me and added how beautiful both my new “editions” and I looked. Let’s go back to the others that expressed their dismay towards having breast surgery. I saw them recently and they seemed to be a bit surprised by how I looked, even though I told them earlier that I wasn’t going that big. Regardless of that fact, they still showed some sort of astonishment at my rather modest choice. Many women believe, thanks to our society and the media, misinterpret a breast augmentation with going BIG. Think Pamela Anderson type breasts, with that sort of Las Vegas stripper look. Why not? Women are spending thousands of dollars and enduring surgery, why not get your money’s worth? I think thinking is where the saying, “Go Big or Go Home!” came from. I clearly did nothing of the sort. In fact, if I wasn’t such an open book, I think that besides my closest family and friends, no one would ever know I had breast surgery, simply because of the natural look I chose. I figured that taking my height, my weight and my athleticism into consideration, I now have a well-proportioned figure.
I am extremely happy with ALL my decisions that I made concerning my breast enlargement surgery. I am completely 100% satisfied with the size that I chose. I continue to feel at ease with the saline implant solution I decided upon. And I’m so fortunate to have had a successful and almost painless recovery, thanks to the care of Dr. Bashioum and his staff.
I hope that my personal patient blog will provide valuable insights and important information to those that are curious about breast augmentation surgery. Thank you for sharing my journey with me!
Melissa’s Blog: 24 hrs. after surgery
May 28th, 2009
It’s only been 24 hours after my surgery and I feel amazingly great! So great, that this morning I woke up, carefully showered, pulled a shirt over my head and then joined my friend for some coffee at the local coffee house. To simply describe how I feel might be a bit baffling to the everyday human mind. But I have to tell you; I am amazed at how great I feel so soon after surgery and I am very thankful to Dr. Bashioum. His expertise in cosmetic surgery makes all the difference in my recovery process. All I’ve needed is a bag of ice replaced every couple hours to help reduce the swelling and Tylenol every four hours for pain.
Take a look at the photo of pink balloons that greeted me on my arrival back home.
Big, bigger, best!
For the next three weeks, it’s crucial that I abide by the after-care instructions, by focusing on what is appropriate and inappropriate to lift, pull or push. I’ve made a pact with myself to stop and think before doing anything risky and if it’s something I’m a little bit unsure of, to ask for help.
From the moment that I decided to have breast enlargement surgery, to the present day where I’m lying on the couch recovering, I have to say that this has been an amazing experience which has gone particularly well so far. You might find this hard to believe, but I actually have a favorite part in all of this. And that is when, just a few short hours after surgery; I delicately unzipped my shirt to see the finished product. As I look down, I saw two beautifully perky, symmetrical breasts staring right at me. “Well hello,” I said. “Welcome back!”
