BA - Going from Small 34A to 34B/C - Beverly Hills, CA

ORIGINAL POST

I'm having the flash recovery BA in Beverly...

Walnut Creek
WORTH IT$8,500

I'm having the flash recovery BA in Beverly Hills CA next week. I breastfed my son and i lost alot of volume. When I am working out consistently i really have no breast tissue left. I am 5'3'' and 125 lbs. I barely fill in a 34A bra. I would like to be a 34b or small c. I am thinking silicone with moderate will give me a natural look.

So after years of thinking about it I will do it in two weeks. I saw the Flash recovery on the doctors show and I called the doctor. I am going small because I love to run and can't imagine ever giving that up.

The doctor promised that i would be up walking around the next day and back to my regular routine in 2 days. But can't work out for 6 wks, but after 6 wks no restrictions.

Right now i have tons of questions. He said that he will go under the muscle and make the cut below the breast. I love to work out and am really concerned that that i wont be able to do everything as before.

Also, I am getting the silicone gel because I'm looking for the natural look

Thank you for sharing your story and photos on RealSelf!

Breastfeeding can definitely "deflate" you some. I'm glad you're able to bring your breasts up to a size you'll feel comfortable with.

I've never heard of anyone having to limit activities after healing completely. I think strenuous is fine as long as you're completely healed. Doctors give some guidelines on that here.

Please keep us posted on how you're feeling. We'd love to see your "After" photos.

Walnut Creek
So the doc wants to do a lift on my left breast and he suggested going a full c because I have so much skin but no volume. And one breast is bigger than the other. I think it's because when I breastfed I went to a full d so there is room there ...
Anyway surgery tomorrow morning... Wish me luck!

Day of treatment

Ok so today was the big day. The doctor put me on...

Walnut Creek
Ok so today was the big day. The doctor put me on Xanax because I was shaking the day before. I had told him I wanted a full b but he said c was minimum because I have so much skin left over from when I breastfed.

Anyway so surgery was good. After surgery I feel like there is a hot iron on my muscles but vicodintook care of that He had prescribedonly 800mm motrin but after my tummy tuck a year and a half ago My tolerance for pains is 0. pain after surgery was about an 8-9 out 10

It's been about 8 hrs and I just feel alot of pressure and so now I'm about a 7 pain wise
Pain but not like the first 4 hrs

So I look like a full c? Or bigger? I feel freakishly huge. How much percentage do they shrink? I was hoping this want gonna be noticeable except to me ... But they look nice! I feel like a sexy lingere model. Ha ha

I'll post pics tomorrow. I can't do it thru the iphone

Hey, just wanted to tell you when I had mine done in 1998 I was back in the gym after a month. And running with my implants has never been a problem. I think you will be really pleased at having your body shape "rebalanced" with fuller breasts. I remember my self-esteem was a few notches higher once I looked better in my clothes.

Thanks so much. I feel so much better already and it's only been 5 days. My back hurts more than my breasts!

You should wait 6 weeks before running. If you wear two exercise bras and get the ok from your dr. then 30 days. But why the worry about aerobic activity? There is so much tightening and definition work you can do now that your body fat is at a nice low level. This is your golden opportunity...

Your weight is not an issue, it's time to take your body to the next level. Instead of aerobics, use this time to focus on core exercises and strength training everthing but your chest. You won't be bored. You have the beginnings of a four-pack across your abs already! Maximize that while your sutures heal. Crunches, good-mornings, leg presses, squats, bicep curls, push-ups... all of that you can do. Use light hand weights (5 lbs max) and lots of repititions, and you will start to look like a professional dancer in no time at all. I have done this. After 3 months, I had guys asking me if I was a dancer, and girls asking me for training tips, and everybody thought I was 10 years younger than my actual age. GO FOR IT!
