This experience is from a patient who actually had surgery at the beginning of this summer ~ she was able to be part of the Allergan Style 410 Form Stable implant study and wanted to share her 24 Hour Recovery experience.......
I had breast augmentation 3 weeks ago and I wanted to share my experience. I had scheduled two prior consultations with other doctors which only left me confused and frustrated. They told me two completely different things. A friend had told me to get the book The Best Breast by John & Terrye Tebbetts and that changed everything! I emailed Terrye through this forum and she called me immediately and sent me the book the next day. The book covers everything. I believed in their philosophy. A natural looking breast and size that fits your body and a 24 hour return to normal activities after your surgery. This is no joke! After a telephone consultation with Terrye, I knew Dr. Tebbetts, would be doing my surgery.
What intrigued me the most was the 24 hour recovery. I was somewhat of a skeptic, but I'm here to tell you that it's the only way to go!! My consultation was on Thursday and my surgery was the next morning which took 30 minutes. My husband took me back to our hotel for a 2 hour nap. I walked slowly but was able to open the car door, get in, and put my seatbelt on all by myself! It was hard getting in and out of bed but was able to all by myself. I slept well and took a shower when I got up. The shower feels great and I was able to wash my hair. I blew my hair, curled it, and applied my make up, I even dressed myself! We went to the mall and walked around. The more you move and do for yourself the faster your breast augmentation recovery is going to be. I was pretty "shot" after this and was ready to get back to the hotel.
The only pain medicine I had was 800 mg of Tylenol! Trust me I was worried if I would need some narcotics. I never did. I never felt a lot of pain, for me it was more of an uncomfortable feeling and extremely tight in my chest. Your homework is to raise your arms over your head every 30 minutes for 2 days. This I did slowly and it didn't feel too bad. Also, you lie on your boobs for 15 minutes everyday for 2 months. Now this was a challenge, and did not feel good for the first 3 days!
