31yo, 103lbs, 4'10, 2 Children, Active Hello everyone! I'm super excited about this surgery! After having two children, my self confidence has shut down. This is why I spend most of my days at the gym and it doesn't help that while I'm there, I feel guilty for not spending those times with my children. So this year my husband and I set up a goal for me to finally get this done. I had lost all hope getting the surgery done this year since the pandemic and we are already in October. As I was Googling I came across Dr. Chernoff's website and the first thing I read was "Be Your Natural Best." I gave them a call (amazing staff, btw) and set up my consultation for 10/2, and, per my husband, Dr. Chernoff is "The One." We went home, talked it over, and today I had my pre-op appointment! I was super anxious being put to sleep so I the night before my surgery I cleaned. LOL I didn't sleep at all. When I arrived at the surgery center, I didn't feel nervous at all because I was looking forward to sleeping. It's a weird feeling. Anyway, I was in and out and here are the images the day of surgery. Today, I had my post op appointment. Dr. Chernoff gave me instructions on how to massage and do some exercises. I know everyone is different. I feel better today and is able to do some light activities. This is my Pre-op pictures. Two children and very active. I was very self-conscious about them due to the sagging. My husband and I have searched for doctors for a whole year. The first doctor we went to did not want to do breast augmentation without the lift. I didn't want the lift because I know myself and will not be able to live with the scarring. We finally found Dr. Chernoff about a month ago and at the very first appointment, we knew he was the one. Day 2!!! I'm super excited! I've been active all day. I did some house chores, stretched, and did some light exercises. I rarely take the pain meds due to constipation, but I have a high pain tolerance as I've been told. Drinking lots of fluids and made myself fruit smoothie today. I read that berries are very good with healing. I've completely taking pain meds since last night but I am continuing my antibiotics and steroids. I was more tired today and I think that's good because I feel rested and healing fast. The massages and exercises are a bit tough to do today because of soreness and no pain meds. Other than that, I was able to do dishes, cook meals, laundry, and take care of my two children. I have an appointment with Dr. Chernoff in the morning and I'm excited to see how I'm progressing with the healing process.
