My surgery went pretty poorly but I would do it again with a few things in mind. Ask the surgeron for an IV of low level antiboitics both before and after the surgery as a safety precaution. I didn't (I was around 18~21 at the time.) and my stiches re opened three times. I had to go back under to close them twice...both times without the antibiotics. The third time, the doctor gave me an antibioic cream to put on what was left of the stitches. The wounds finally healed (two months later) and left horrible scarring that I will eventually get removed.
The areas close to the stiches are still numb to a degree. Part of that is probably my problems with the lack of antibiotics during the operation although I've heard other women complain of the same problem. It's not severe but it is something you notice to a degree. It kinda feels like you still have a bra on even when you don't sometimes. You get the "phantom itches" syndrom where you can feel something itching but that piece of skin is either now inside or no longer existant.

The very good side to all of this: My clothes fit. I look proportional. My back doesn't hurt nearly as much anymore. My shoulders are no longer about to break and the indents on my collar bone from the bra straps are almost no existant anymore. (I can still feel them but you don't see it anymore to the naked eye. You need X-rays) I'm sure if you ask for antibiotics, that it will go smoothly.
