    Default Nightmares about BA

    I had a pretty in-depth discussion last night (around 5am) with the boygirlfriend (he's in the midst of gender transition, so this may be on the table for her later on) about my impending breast augmentation. I'm currently saving up for it, and have breeched the halfway mark. It's like, totally going to happen. We talked about what I'd need during recovery, in terms of him being off of work for a few days, me needing every little thing done including my butt wiped probably for a day or two, pain pills, all the beautiful gory detail. Yes, we're that close.

    (We use genders interchangeably in this house. But that's not the point.)

    The point is that I am having nightmares. I wouldn't exactly say recurring nightmares. They get a little worse every time. This would be the third occasion I can recall having it . . .

    . . . In the dream, it's just after my surgery and I'm sitting up in bed, screaming in pain. In the shadows of my bedroom is my seriously nice-as-pie surgeon (Dr. Mentz in Houston) and he's leering at me like a schizophrenic on PCP. I look down and my breasts are beautiful, big, perfect, everything I ever wanted. Suddenly, they explode. With ants. My breasts were full of ants. ANTS. And they're biting me inside and out. I can actually feel the searing pain in the dream, which leaves me sweaty and shaking when I swat myself awake.

    I really don't like my natural breasts. I've wanted augmentation for most of my adolescent/adult life. Is this normal trepidation? Or is it a sign that I should research my doctor more? Has anyone else had Dr. Mentz before that can maybe put my mind at ease? He's totally overqualified and has a killer portfolio, so I don't get it . . . maybe it's the fact that the only surgery I've ever had before was my wisdom tooth removal, and that did NOT go so well.

    I don't know. I just woke up from one of these nightmares, and am still glistening like an overworked horse.

    I could really use some guidance. This sucks.

    Honestly, if you are having such fears I would do more research and wait until you feel 100% confident that it is what you want.

    I had a nightmare about going in and when I woke up they weren't what I wanted. I hadn't remembered the consultation and I guess I told the doctor to go small and woke up REALLY sad becuase I thought it was real.

    Then a few days later I had another one about having a complication. But thats normal fears.

    If you aren't ready to get them then don't. I don't really know what to say about unrealistic dreams because I don't have those...I mean you know your boobs aren't going to explode and have ants. I'm really not the best person about that.

    If you feel more nervous then you think you should considering your getting a surgery...then you need to wait and see what your really want to do.

    It sounds like normal trepidation to me. I mean, I've had dreams where my teeth fell out (a very common dream, really) and my teeth aren't anywhere close to doing so in real life. Sometimes I have dreams where I wake up and one of my boobs is deflated.

    It's normal to have fears and be nervous about your surgery, very much so. If I were you, I'd talk things over with your surgeon on what to expect, or join a board for BAs so you can read about other women's experiences. You've been planning this surgery for years. You researched your doctor. You obviously met him and were comfortable with his bedside manner. His portfolio is great. I'd say you've done your homework.

    If you're talking about Henry Mentz, I just found his webpage and he appears to be certified out the yingyang and looking at his before and after photos, he does do very nice work.
