I just got back from my first fill. I have those tissue expanders in right now, which I will have to fill up with saline every week for the next however many months. Let me tell you how scared to death I was. When I walked in the plastic surgeon's office, they said they were all ready for me. I didn't even get a chance to sit and relax for a second. I thought I was going to pee myself. I've said before and I will say again, the Internet is the devil. I read so many horror stories about what it was going to feel like and anything negative I could. I finally, before I went to bed last night, found a website that had nothing but positives to say. That put me to ease somewhat.
Anyway, the doctor asked that I close my eyes while he did it, and to be honest, the only reason I knew he did anything was because I had to hold a small piece of gauze to the area so he could do the other side and get the band aids ready. Why close my eyes. He said most women get very nervous when they see the syringe that he uses to do the fill. He says it tends to be more calming if your eyes are closed and you don't see what is being done.
He is starting out with 30 cc's at a time because it will be January/February before I will be able to have the actual implants placed. He doesn't see a reason to go too fast, if I can't do the "switch" for a while.
Do I notice a difference? Why yes I do! Just a small difference, but I think I look better in my tee shirt than I did first thing this morning. Now I am about two weeks late getting started, but that is fine. I would rather be healed I think... and I am.
This is the last day of my summer break. Maybe after next week I'll be able to wear some of my cute shirts. If not, that's fine... I can find something to wear.
Good job Steph!!!!!!!!!!! Keep it up!!!!!!!!!! Miss you! I hope you are feeling better soon, I want to get together!
