Preparations
We leave for AZ one week from today. Pray for good flying weather. No snowstorms!
The flights have had a few schedule adjustments but nothing to get concerned about. The hotel is verified. I bought more Arnica montana and some acidophilus. I've still got Bacitracin left from August. I've got maxi pads, bought back in September, that I didn't need then but will be perfect now. We bought some oversized long sleeve t-shirts that, hopefully, will be comfortable to wear over tender breasts.
There are still unanswered questions about the breast augmentation:
round vs shaped implants:
I think I favor the shaped implants as I think they look more natural, without that telltale round bulge at the top of the breast. I hope he offers this.
over the muscle vs under the muscle:
under the muscle is supposed to create a more natural appearance, wrinkles in the implant are less noticeable, it's less likely to be felt by Michele, and interfers less with mammography. However, I've read that they move around more when the pectoral muscle is used. That seems just too weird and I can't help wonder what would happen when I rock climb.
incision site:
Dr M's favorite site is at the edge of the areola. It gives him good access to the site and scars here tend to be less noticeable. However, I have small areola and I'm not sure he can get the minimum 1.5 inch incision he needs. If we need to go to plan b I think I favor the incision below the breast.
