More Pain Than Expected, but Worth It - Coral Gables, FL

WORTH IT$3,200
I'm 28, 98lbs, 5'5. Deflated A or B to D. 600cc in each, round, smooth, high profile implants. Subpectoral. Natrelle implants.
I feel a bit disappointed by my experience.
I wanted a large C, anatomical implants.
After paying my nonrefundable charge, the day before surgery I was told they only use round implants. This is an issue to me because I'm so thin that the round edges will be more noticeable than tear drop breasts might be.
Also, I'm only guessing that I'm a D right now, but my breasts are definitely larger than I the pictures I had shown my surgeon. They're possibly a DD. Ill figure it out in a month when I go bra shopping.
I was only given 15 pain pills, maybe that works for others, but I must have a low pain tolerance. Today is day 5, and I'm still in a lot of pain. My pain comes and goes... I can't sleep at night.. I wish he had prescribed at least 30 pills to get me through my first week. When I discussed my pain with him, he refused to prescribe more. I've been taking 600 mg ibuprofen, even 2x and it's not helping at all.
So far I think he did a great job. My breasts are swollen and high, but I know that's normal.
I feel the surgeons coordinators were only about the money, not the patient.
I traveled from WY to Miami for my procedure. My coordinator recommended that i leave Friday, my surgery was Wednesday. Not a good recommendation! My surgeon was unhappy that I did not stay longer and told me the coordinators work off commission and will say anything to get you there. Wow! So the coordinators did not care about my comfort nor health and safety.
The car rides and plane ride back home were incredibly painful due to the bumps. I wish I had stayed an extra few days to heal...
I also felt very rushed in the office, just a thing being passed through. Not a person.. I also wish I was given a more in depth list of post op instructions. My surgeon forgot to tell me when and how to massage my breasts. He discussed when I can workout, lotion, healing, etc. but none of it was written and now I can't remember all the details.
Because he's in Miami and I'm in Wy I can't just go back and have him show me.. So google has been my bf, lol.
Well there's my book.

You look amazing, it just seems your experience was not how it should have been. I'm sure that going from an A/B to a DD is painful especially if yours are under the muscle. My PS gave me Valium and I had a pain pump (automatic-no buttons) and it was in for 3 full days post op. I had a lot of stiffness in the am but I found that just moving around helped a ton, also ice and sleeping in my recliner. I hope you get better so you can enjoy them!

Thank you, I'm liking them a bit more today. Today is the first day I haven't had pain. Just discomfort and heaviness :) I'm hoping this is the start of pain free days. I barely had morning boob when I woke up this morning, that was nice!
My friend gave me some pain medication today, just in case. So I'm set if they decide to hurt again.
My 'new girls' and I went shopping for some new sports bras. I think I wore them out, but it was nice to see the ladies in in padded outfits. Lol that's just an amazing feeling!
My surgeon told me no ice :( I do make sure to do my stretches very often, that really does help. I had to YouTube how to do stretches. Now I need to find out when I can put lotion on and start to massage...

6 days post op
I think my girls dropped ever so slightly. I feel better about them today. I can't wait for them to fully drop and look normal. They seem so huge on my small frame. But I think they're growing on me

Wow 600 cc's......cannot imagine! You handle it well for your small frame. I had 350 cc's, and I am a D cup. You might be DD. Still, once they drop, you will probably LOVE them.
October 1, 2013
are not ate, lol
October 2, 2013
Thank you MizzG, I was wondering if they might be a DD! Goodness, I hope they aren't bigger than a D when they're developed.
I understand why women with large breasts hate bra straps! Lol they are uncomfortable holding this weight.
I'm going to try to update daily :)
Hope tomorrow feels as good as today!

I've heard a lot of women say they wish they had gone bigger. So I guess I can be happy that I probably won't have that complain lol. Thanks Shelly!
October 2, 2013

Violet, what size are you? Did you get saline as well? And thankyou, yours are gorgeous! Are they round implants?
October 2, 2013
800cc cohesive high profile gels! thank you azdfinally! yes mine are round implants!
October 2, 2013
Wow they look great in you! ESP for being so tiny with a pretty large implant. I'm live in Miami and I would've recommended by surgeon to you... I hope you are starting to feel better, I can't believe you didn't get more pain meds. Did he prescribe any muscle relawrs for you?
October 2, 2013
Luvmyhuskies, he did not give me muscle relaxers. I wondered if that is something that is normally prescribed for a BA?
Thank you ladies!
October 2, 2013
I know my PS does and it seems the majority of ladies on here got them also. Do you have a primary DR? Maybe he would give you a script?
October 2, 2013
No I don't :( but luckily my boyfriends mom had some extras to give me yesterday :) love that lady!
Thank you for taking the time to share you story on RealSelf. I am sorry to hear about the pain. Hoping the pain subsides a little more each day. Yes, flying back home 2 days post op seems tough. I do agree with you though, that it looks like you're going to have a very beautiful set of breasts once they drop and fluff over the next few months. Hoping the RealSelf community can get you through the rest of the healing process. Please be sure to update us!
