keanasabean 9 Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 Hi guys ? I’m going in for my surgery on Monday with Dr Tav and I am so nervous!! I have been so incredibly excited (and I obviously still am) but all of the sudden my anxiety has peaked, and I keep thinking about all the things that could go wrong in the surgery and if I’ll wake up and hate what I look like with boobs! I sound ridiculous :S I know I’ve chosen one of the best surgeons and I’ve done my research and have been wanting this operation for years so I shouldn’t be freaking out as I’m in great hands! Please tell me it’s common to be anxious and that this feeling goes away :S xx Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Please tell me it’s common to be anxious and that this feeling goes away :S xx Hey @keanasabean perfectly normal it's major surgery and a major life decision, so it's totally normal and sane to be nervous and a bit anxious. You are in expert hands, your surgeon has a great reputation, he is very experienced and you will have lovely support with the nursing staff. You will love your new boobs, but they may look odd to start with and you really need not worry. There will be swelling and probably bruising, they will change shape and size over the days and weeks post-surgery and your job is to rest, relax, look after yourself, be kind to yourself and enjoy the journey. Keep a photo diary of the changes so you can map the progress. I am 3 1/2 months post-op and I totally and absolutely love my new boobs - best decision I ever made!! Good luck for Monday, I'll be thinking of you on the day xo JD* and I HaveBoobs 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For me my biggest fear was choosing the size implant as I did not want to be too big. Rest assured, I have been in surgery with Dr Tavakoli many times and I really like how they are able to use as many implant sizers as possible for the best result for your anatomy - I have personally seen Dr Tavakoli use 4 or 5 sizers until the perfect one was chosen - I certainly want that attention to detail next time im having surgery. I dont believe you will wake up and hate them as its a little difficult to get a good and proper look at them straight away but if you do, remember that they will probably look a little strange initially, we refer to this as 'frankenboob'. Keep calm and focus on your recovery and dont make any assessments on your actual breasts until a few weeks post op. I know for myself, they changed so much over the first 6 months (for the better I might add). Please keep us updated, I am super jealous and wish I was having breast augmentation on Monday, but alas, i must wait until the end of the year. Im super keen to hear what size you end up, I would like something in the 250cc range myself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RubyJadeDiamond 43 Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Heya! I was a bit of a wreck before my BA. I was worried about literally every single thing; whether I'd like the result, if it'd look silly, if I'd have complications, what the people at work would say etc etc. Looking back on it now, I realise I was worried for nothing. I'm so happy I went through with it, and it was honestly so much less of an ordeal than I thought it was going to be. Just do remember that very few people wake up with their final result and it can be quite stressful being patient while they heal and change. I got 755ccs and my boobs looked really crazy! Like massive, hard square pecs stuck onto my body. I'm now 1 month post op and I've only really seen a huge difference in the last week or so -- they've become much softer and more boob-like -- but I still have a long way to go! Just be patient and kind with yourself, don't overdo it afterward or compare your progress with others. Congrats on your surgery date! It'll be over before you know it and you'll be onto the next step of your boob journey! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Girl1999 59 Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 The anesthetist I had said he wondered why women were so nervous about BA when it was such a 'low level' surgery. Much less risky than most surgerys and some dental work apparently. I was really scared, but once the anaesthetic went in, I was out in seconds. I woke up thinking I was at home, then remembered...and the job was done! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Goldngirl 0 Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Goodluck Keanasabean!! Can't wait to hear about your progress. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keanasabean 9 Posted March 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Thanks so much guys. This has eased my mind so incredibly much and helped me to know I'm not going crazy! I'll make sure to post my before and afters and keep everyone updated <3 I really appreciate you all sharing your experiences. @TheFox the fact he tries so many sizers on was a huge reason I chose Dr Tav! He's actually thinking I'll end up with around 280cc but I will make sure I let you know what he ends up choosing and send some pics through! The end of the year will come around so quickly! @Girl1999 thank you so much for sharing that point as one of my main concerns has been the anesthetic! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pink butterfly 1,511 Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 All the best for Monday! When our dreams are close, we get nervous........and then we question if that is what we really want! I remember thinking that. But I had researched a BA for 6 years and it was not a quick decision. It sounds like you are in good hands. x Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JD* 361 Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 It would be such an awful feeling in the lead up to surgery. Yes it’s exciting with the thought of having boobs but the process would be daunting. I’m sure you’ll be very well taken care of. Look forward to reading your experience. ☺️ Good luck and wish you all the best! ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
I HaveBoobs 951 Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Hi @keanasabean i know we are all telling you that its perfectly normal to feel the way you are right now but trust me it is normal and you will be fine, if i could of aforded the extea money to travel from Perth to Sydney i would have had Dr Tav do my BA , he is an amazing surgeon and his work is impeccable, you will have great care from his nursing staff and by the time you wake up you'll be like is done already.
