Of
course I always wondered and fantasized about what it would
be like to have a breast augmentation, But it always seemed
so complicated and un real for me.
To tell you a little about me, I'm a twenty three year old,
single mother of a 3 year old little son named Chris. I work
full-time, plus waitress part-time, go to school and raise
my son. So life as I see it is pretty full and overwhelming.
I still always admired girls who had implants, and wished
I to could have them.
In
December of 2001, my sister had her augmentation done. Her
breast's looked beautiful!! I was so jealous of her!
Here I was a single mother, already feeling not skinny enough,
my breast were drooping from nursing my son, I rarely had
time to put make-up on, and my 5'4'' 105 pd sister gets her
breast done. She was what I wanted to be. She had the confidence
in herself that I wanted to have, But I still never thought
it would happen.
Finally,
in August of 2003, my time had arose. I met Dr. Corbin
and his staff for my consultation and they were so patient
with me. I was real nervous, because when you fantasize
about what it would be like to have an augmentation, it's
just a fantasy, it's not real, and now it was becoming real.
I called and asked questions probably everyday for 2 weeks,
before my pre-oprative appointment even came. Then I had my
preoperative appointment Monday August 8th, and Surgery was
scheduled for Wednesday August 20th. I was so nervous. I had
weird dreams. My mind was constantly racing with questions
but I was determined to have surgery.
At
my consultation with Dr. Corbin he assessed my breast and
stated I needed a lift. I knew at that time I didn't feel
good about myself and there was one of the reasons. I needed
a lift on the left breast due to it being quite a bit uneven
with my right side.
I
agreed. Anything to make my breast beautiful. I also
was a candidate for silicone implants, which after doing a
lot of research on the difference and the naturality of saline
versus silicone. I chose the silicone. I wanted to look natural
so when Marilyn, the nurse at Dr. Corbin's sized me I decided
on 350cc's.

August 20th, 2003:
Now The Surgery Day had arrived. I had my ride prepared to
pick me up after surgery, all my questions had been answered
by Dr. Corbin and his staff, I got my prescriptions filled,
I did everything, I even bought a pillow that had arms on
it and sat at a upright position, in fear of being uncomfortable
after surgery. I went to work today and I'm all dried up and
miserable-no food or drink since midnight of the previous
night, I have anticipation, adrenaline rushes, and it feels
like 4:30pm will never come. It did.

August 21st, 2003:
Well I woke up @ 3:30am with quite a bit of uncomfortableness,
so my friend gave me my pain medication, and back to sleep
I went. I woke up at 6:45am, (creature of habit) And was a
little uncomfortable due to the ace wrap being so tight. Other
than the ace wrap being wrapped so tight, I honestly felt
ok. I didn't feel as bad as I thought it would be at all.
We were going to take the ace wrap off at 4:30pm, and when
the time came 3 of my friends came over, ( as my friend quoted
it "We have to see the unvailing") Then we took
the ace wrap off and I felt like my lungs had been cleansed.
I felt like a new person, when it was removed I felt I had
finally arrived - I HAD BREASTS. Beautiful breasts, a dream
come true.

August 22nd, 2003:
I'm going to pick my son up from school today with my mom.
I haven't seen him in 2 days, I really miss him. (Luckily
my Ex-Husband was kind enough to keep him while I recovered
from surgery.) Were making a long haul down to my moms in
Canyon Lake, It's going to be a long ride in the car but I
still need help with my son and getting around. I can move
myself pretty good and am taking only 1/2 of the prescribed
amount of pain medication, along with tylenol. The pain is
nothing like I thought it would be.
Saturday
August 23rd, 2003:
I'm going back home today. Honestly, my son and my little
sister are driving me mad. My son wants to see my owies all
the time. He knows I can't pick him up due to my surgery and
he doesn't understand what type of surgery I had ( which is
good) But he's very curious to see my wounds. Him and my little
sister bicker all the time so my mom's taking me home to rest
and have some time to myself. I'm able to move around very
well by myself now, and am no longer taking pain medication.
So, I feel I'll be fine at home by myself.
It
has now been over 3 months, and I feel like a new person.
The confidence and motivation I've gained in myself
is unreal. Thank you to Dr. Corbin and his staff's
patience with me I'm now a new women with a new perspective
on life!! I have no scaring around the areolar, and you can't
even tell I had implants put in. They look so natural and
beautiful just like I wanted.
