It’s the day after Kristen’s surgery to replace her expanders with permanent breast implants, and she’s already feeling much better. For the last 33 weeks, Kristen lived with a constant 2-4 pain level from the uncomfortable and awkward expanders. Today her chest looks normal again, even if it will never feel the same.
Kristen trusted her plastic surgeon Dr. Sal Pacella to choose the size and shape of implant that looked best in her body, and was amused to find out that she is the proud owner of Mentor 700cc high profile silicone gel implants, also known as “porn star boobs.”
Since this was her 2nd major surgery, things went much more smoothly with the right surgery buddy and all of her favorite comforts in place ahead of time. She spent the night in her velcro surgery bra, Ana Ono robe, and pillow recliner, and woke up feeling like a different person.
