Breast Lift and Implants to Improve the Appearance of my Very Asymmetrical Breasts - Dominican Republic, DO

So, for 3 months I've been reading reviews on RealSelf and it has been so helpful, so I HAVE to share my own experience. I just turned 30 years old, but I been thinking about breast surgery since I was a teen. My breasts have ALWAYS been too asymmetrical, so much that I've always had to fill one side of my bra. In the last few years the bigger breast became saggy which made the appearance even worse. So, even though I haven't had children yet, I decided that for my 30th birthday I would go ahead and get the surgery. I hope to have children in 4 or 5 years, but right now is my time and I want to be confortable with myself. Im getting silicone round implants and a breast lift (lollipop scar). My goal is for my breasts to be more symmetrical.

Hi! I had my surgery on Wednesday morning and I...
The doctor gave me painkillers to take every 8 hours, but I haven't taken any because I don't feel a lot of pain. I DO need help getting up and I can't lift my arms, but I feel better than I expected. Also, the day after the surgery I got to peek at my boobs when the doctor was putting on the bra and I was happy to see no bruising. I didn't see the scars, but my husband said they don't look scary or anything (before the surgery I told him that they would look scary because I wanted him to expect the worse hehe).
Im taking Nexium and a antibiotic. The only time I have felt sick was yesterday after I took the 1st antibiotic, I started to feel nausea and wanted to puke, but I decided to lay down and take deep breaths and felt better.
I know this is just the beginning of my recovery, but I already feel more confident about myself. Knowing that I don't have to fill my bra on one side feels great. I think that's the reason Im not in pain, it's hard to feel pain when you're so happy inside :) It shows you everything is mental.
My next consultation is on Tuesday, I look forward to seeing my boobies!

Hi, today I had my 1st post op consultation and...
Breasts are still very swollen, but they feel softer. The right breast the more swollen, but the doctor said it will go down and they will look more even.
Something really funny is that I thought I had stitches, but today I found out I don't have any (except 1 on the right breast). So, I guess is like glue or tape on my breasts, not stitches. Also, Im allowed to shower completely now!

Thank you for starting your story on RealSelf. I look foward to following your journey. It must be rather frustrating to always think about filling the other side of your bra. I bet you're so excited to do away with this! Do you have a possible surgery date yet?
Oh how wonderful...everything went well and you're so happy! Congratulations!
Can't wait to hear how the strapless dress and bra shopping goes. Keep us posted on your recovery. Happy healing!
