Overall Feelings about Breast Augmentation with Dr Ces Colagrande :o)

Hello lovelies!!

My boobs are one month old now and they are feeling and looking GREAT!! :o)

Today I've had my new boobies for 4 weeks (so pretty much a month).  This past week I have noticed the tops of them feeling softer and slightly squishier, which is nice :o)  There is no pain at all and I'm sleeping comfortably every night.  I'm still sleeping on my back because I don't feel comfortable enough yet to sleep on my side (I worry too much about wrecking them while they're still so new, haha!!).

They no longer feel so hard on my chest, before I was always very aware of them, like I knew they were there, could FEEL them all the time, just aware of them...  But now, they no longer feel hard on me (unless I actually touch them, they still feel hard/stiff to touch) but on my body as I walk around about my day they just feel like a normal part of my body now, like an arm or a leg, they feel part of me :o)

My incisions look amazing, they are practically healed already!!  Hugest difference between the skills of a general surgeon at a hospital performing caesarians, to the skills of a wonderful plastic surgeon, I can't believe how good my incisions are :o)  My caesarian scar is 3 and a half years old now and is still red and ugly (I hate my caesarian scar, if it didn't have to be another surgery I would definitely get it fixed, but anyway, at least it gave me my beautiful baby girl :o)  I have feeling back now on the undersides of my boobs and the incisions don't hurt at all.  They only get tender if I hang clothes on the line or something like that, (the stretching of my arms to hang the clothes up, plus I'm a shorty so I'm always on my tippie toes hanging clothes up, hahaha!!!) but the tenderness passes quickly afterwards, it only lasts a few minutes :o)

Anyway, all in all, it has been a WONDERFUL experience, I cannot recommend Dr Ces Colagrande enough, like highly, highly, highly recommend him.  He is a very professional, lovely mannered man with so much empathy and compassion, he is easy to talk too and makes you feel so comfortable.  He is the kind of person who can connect with anyone and makes whoever he is talking to feel comfortable and safe, I have spoken to MANY other very happy patients of Dr Ces since my breasts were done and they all say this :o)  To me he has put a lot of work into making his clinic and the work he does just perfect. Even down to the decorating of his waiting room, you can see he puts thought into everything he does and runs his business so well, his professionalism is astounding and I could honestly rave and rave about him. Very happy boogie girl right here! Hahaha!!!

Anyway ladies, if you're looking at having your breasts done, you must consider Dr Ces, as soon as you meet him you will instantly like him, and the best thing about him is he really listens to what you are wishing to achieve and makes sure he gives you exactly the result you're looking for that is the safest and best option for you.  He talks through everything, takes his time and makes sure the result is perfect.  Honestly I've heard him being referred to as a perfectionist before (and even he tells you he is a perfectionist when it comes to his work) and it is so very true, he really is, and he has a lot of pride in what he does. You will definitely love your results and the fabulous aftercare as well.

I have had a fabulous experience and couldn't be happier.  I feel pretty and womanly now for the first time in my life!  I took photos of myself one night in lingerie to send to my husband and looked at the picture for ages.  With my new breasts my body has a lovely contour now and I feel sexy and attractive for the first time EVER!!!!  I know it's just boobs, but seriously my confidence is 1000% now, I can't explain how happy I am.  Every piece of clothing I put on just looks good, without any effort, the clothes sit properly and my cleavage always looks amazing..  The best thing about it all though, is that my boobies look like mine, they do not look fake or obvious and round.  They just look like a fantastic set of boobs that are perfect size and shape for my body.  I am SO happy!

So... Dr Ces Colagrande... If you ever come across this HUGE blog of mine about my wonderful journey, I can't say enough how much I THANK YOU for your wonderful skills and for making my dream come true!  Thank you for becoming the wonderful surgeon you are because I wouldn't want them done by anyone else.  Thank you for making me feel pretty, attractive and womanly, FINALLY!  Thank you for listening to what I wanted to achieve and doing just that.  Thank you for your fabulous and attentive aftercare, for your compassion when I was full of nerves and the wonderful chats and laughs we've had during our conversations.  Thank you for taking the time to always call me back and answer even the silliest of questions.  You're a fantastic surgeon Dr Ces, you should be so proud of how skilled you are, what you have achieved with your life and with what you do for so many people, in changing the feelings and even the lives of so many for the better, congratulations on a job well done, and once again... thank you, thank you, THANK YOU SO MUCH!! :o)

Well, I'd say I'll pop on here and write a 3 month or 6 month post when it comes to that.  Actually I probably will when I go bra shopping and find out what size I am, haha!!  I am VERY excited to buy bras so I'll probably want to ramble all about it, Hahaha!!! :o)

So I'll 'see' you all around again soon :o)  Thanks again for following my journey!

Love and hugs

Sil xoxo

My Boobies Are Two Weeks Old :o)

Hi!!!

My boobies are now 2 weeks old and are healing REALLY well :o)

This past week (since the drains came out on Friday before we flew home) has been getting better every day.  I'm so happy!!  My incisions feel numb, which is fantastic!  I'm glad I can't feel the stitches, lol...  I get a funny sort of 'buzzing' feeling I guess you'd call it every now and then, but nothing ever hurts.  Dr Ces did say he cuts through a main nerve there underneath the breasts so my boobs will be numb for a while I think.  The buzzing is probably the healing :o)  I can't wait to find out what size I am!!!!  Dr Ces put me in a size D surgical bra so I wonder if that's what I am??  It will be so exciting when I can go bra shopping!!!! SQUEEL!!! :o)

It's funny when I was showering the first few days after having the drains out, I would sort of hold one arm underneath my boobs as I washed myself with my other hand, because they felt SO strange!  LOL!!!  It must be the new weight of my boobs combined with the weird numb feeling on the underside of them, plus the tight feeling of them, all rolled into one.  Haha!!  On the morning of my first shower after we'd got back from Dr Ces office my hubby was laughing at me because I was sort of 'holding them' with my hands because they felt funny to let go, hehehe...  He jokingly said to me "what.... are you worried the implants are going to fall out through your incisions or something?" hahaha!!! and then continued with, "hmmm... Maybe you're just liking the excuse to hold them..."  LOL!!!  Smarty pants!! ;o)

Anyway, it is the BEST feeling being home with my three beautiful daughters.  I missed them SO SO SO much!  Although it's weird not picking up my 3 year old, she's my last baby so I tend to always pick her up and walk around with her on my hip.  I'm missing the feeling of her sweet little chubbiness in my arms, haha!! :o)

So the only discomfort I have had is when I wake up in the mornings.  It's like I have to use my tummy muscles and count to three, and then sit up while holding my breath, hahaha!!!  My boobs get very hard and stiff after I've slept all night, so I wake up with them feeling like an intense pressure, but as soon as I sit up I sort of go "ahhhh..." and they feel fine, lol...  That's the only discomfort I have had.  Oh, and driving my car actually!  I didn't expect it, so I hopped in the car on Monday after we'd flown home over the weekend and took the kids to school....  Well I drive a manual car (I have a thing for manual and hate automatics, yes I know I'm strange, lol...!!! ;o) but this was the first time I've ever wished I had an automatic because going from 1st through to 4th gear was fine, but trying to move the gear stick into 5th or 6th gear was out of the question, it made my left boob feel SO weird to move the gear stick that way, it's like I could feel the muscle moving against the implant or something and I couldn't do it, so I had to drive my car screaming up the highway in 4th gear (sorry car, lol...).  Also, when moving the gear stick into reverse I had to use both hands, but I could do it so that was okay, lol...  Anyway, hubby moved his work around (lucky he's the boss) and did all the school drop offs and pick ups for me this past week, sweetheart he is.  Seriously he's so supportive, I love him so much!!!!! :o)

So that's been my past week.  My boobs look amazing, the swelling has come down completely now and I LOVE LOVE LOVE them!!!! :o)  They are symmetrical, nipples symettircal too, such a gorgeous shape and they're the PERFECT size, did I say I'm SO happy?? ;o)  Haha!!  Dr Ces called as soon as we'd arrived back home to see how I'd travelled, I didn't expect that so it was really kind.  And he has called through the week again too.  I've also called him with a question and left a message and he's called back later that afternoon only too happy to talk to me.  He is such a busy man but he has this way of making you feel like he has all the time in the world for you, so you don't feel like you're being an inconvenience, he's just been amazing, 5 out of 5 stars all the way for this wonderful surgeon :o)

Anyway, time to go!  PS...  I was planning on putting photos up without my face in them but I'm so sorry, I just don't feel comfortable putting photos of my boobies up on the Internet, I am too worried about somebody putting two and two together, realising it's me even though my face isn't in the photos and it bites me in the butt later on down the track when I'm going for a job interview or something like that.  I don't think potential employers later on down the road would be too impressed with me putting photos of my boobs on the Internet for all the world to see, so I'm very sorry, you'll just have to trust my writing in this blog and the photos on Dr Ces beautiful website to believe that my boobs look AMAZING!!!  In fact, I have to say, I feel like my boobs look better than any of the girls even on his website, hehehe...  See?  Very happy girl right here!! LOL!!! :o)

Love from happy boobie girl Sil :o) xoxo

The Drains Are Out!!! YAY!!! :o)

Hi Lovelies!!

Well I am very happy today, the drains came out, woohoo!! :o)

My boobs were sitting high up on my chest the first few days but now they have come down a lot and my left boob has gone down heaps too, it was much more swollen and bigger than my right for the first few days, now they look more even :o)

How is this?  800mls out of EACH boob came out in my drain bags!!!  That's AMAZING!!!  I am SO glad Dr Ces used drains on me because imagine how much swelling I would have had otherwise and how long it would have taken to come down with my body having to absorb all that and deal with the swelling itself?  I'm so happy.  I have felt on top of the world ALL day today! :o)  Because the swelling has gone down so much I didn't have to feel like Dolly Parton walking around at the shops today ;o)  hahaha!!!  Seriously, as restrictive as the drains were carrying them around and having them constantly 'being' there, they were the best thing, I'm so glad :o)

I have so much less retriction now and move much easier since the drains came out.  It's like a 'lighter' feeling (probably all in my head ;o) haha!!).  My boobs feel tight but no pain at all.  I feel SO happy right now!!

There was a tiny sting when Dr Ces took each of the drains out but literally for like half a second.  He checked my incisions and put new dressings on, and also gave me a bunch of dressings to take home with me and change them every second day.  Once they are all used up he said to use unscented panty liners just to stop any irritation caused by the bras I wear :o)

Anyway, after the consultation we went back to the hotel and I finally had a shower, ahhhhh... That was so nice!!  My hubby helped me wash my hair because I still can't lift my arms that much, they feel too restricted to do that.  It felt great to feel squeeky clean again, no more wipes and sponge baths with face washers, yay!!  Haha!!  I got dressed and we went shopping, out for lunch and walked around Broadbeach for the day (I love Broadbeach, if we move down here eventually, I'd love to live in Broadbeach, Biggera Waters sort of area, so gorgeous!).  I felt on top of the world walking around the shops today.   JUST SO HAPPY!!!!! :o) :o) :o)  We bought more pressies for our girls and things for ourselves as well, my hubby is always spoiling me, such a lucky girl :o)  Lol...  I feel so happy and blessed :o)

Every time I walked past a mirror this afternoon in the motel I have looked at my boobs, I just can't believe it, THEY ARE AWESOME!!!!!  Hahahaha!!!!!  My hubby said to me at one stage "are you looking at your boobs again?"  as he listens to the clicking of my iPhone with all the photos I was taking, hehehe...  I sent photos to my closest girlfriends and my sister, just happy, happy, happy!!!!! :o)

Tonight I got dressed up and we went out for dinner at a lovely little restaurant in Broadbeach that I think was called 'Lust'.  There were a few restaurants in a row and we were walking along reading the menus at each when the chef himself came out and greeted us at that one, he was really lovely, so we dined there and the food was beautiful, especially the scallops I had for entree, delicious!  I felt amazing with my new cleavage and noticed the chef have a peek when he was talking to us...  You know what, I've never had that before, and to be honest it was a great feeling, I couldn't stop smiling ALL day today!!  Haha!!

Anyway, we fly home to our princesses tomorrow and I am SO ready for it.  I CANNOT WAIT to cuddle my babies!!!!!!!

This whole week has been a fabulous experience, my boobies look amazing and the care I have received from Dr Ces Colagrande during this whole thing has been amazing, he has just blown me away with his professionalism and care.  He called me every day to check up on me, answered any questions I had, talked about what things I could expect to feel etc, he was just fantastic.  One of the things that really impressed my husband was at the post-op consult this morning when we were saying goodbye and Dr Ces said to me "now remember, I'm not just your doctor who gave you implants and sent you on your way, I am your doctor now for life" what a thing to say!!  We are both so impressed :o)

Well, time for sleep now.  We've already packed up our stuff ready to leave in the morning, in between me constantly looking at my boobs in the mirror of course, hahahahaha!!!!! ;o)

Thanks for following my journey so far, this has been such a wonderful experience for me.

Talk soon lovelies, I'll blog each week or something to write about how they are going while they heal :o)

Love from a very happy Sil xo
