I am relatively small: 5'5 and 117lb. 47 years old with three children. I had a 22? measurement under breasts. My PS recommended 350 cc Saline unders Mod profile plus. I am looking for natural (non-Pam Anderson) breasts of somewhat small size. Hoping for the best.
First week was a bit painful under breasts, and apparently I developed a hematoma right breast. Doc said since no real pain, lets wait and see. As an aside, Doctor's should NEVER tell me anything that could potentially be construed as a problem :) I am my own worst enemy!!! Anyway, looks like it is getting better.
Photos at two weeks. I appear much larger than most 350 cc photos I checked before sx. Right side is high (my dominant hand side).
Hopefully my pictures submitted work out :)

One month out...
MIMomBAJuly 3, 2013
Today is a month after the breast augmentation, and I am noticing great improvement. The breasts are softer, dropping, do not hurt as much (nerves are firing, although), and hematoma appears to be going away. Swelling is way down, and I kinda like these new breasts. They looked really boxy in clothes up until this week, and I feared they were too wide. However, they are moving inward slightly, and the look is way better.
I got the clearance to run, and so I did. I was told to wear a very good sports bra, and I chose an extra support UnderArmour. The run was ...different. But no problems with the breasts moving. They just felt a little heavy. No pain the following day, so I believe exercise is a go. Yeah!
Here are a few pictures I took at 3 weeks. Hope they help, because my husband is getting a little worried about me posting pics on the Internet :)

Just noticed I said I have Saline implants. They are, however, Mentor Silicone implants. For the record.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Yhi, I am 4 ft 8. 109 pounds. I decided to go 350 cc, high profile silicone mentor, under the muscle. I took 4 weeks off of work and so glad I did. This has been so painful! I find myself afraid to get back to my normal routine. I'm 23 days post op and I've only been out of the house 3 times in the past 21 days. I return to work in 6 days and I'm freaking out over it. I haven't even driven my car since the day before the surgery. At 23 days out were you still sore? My right breast is sore to the touch at times. And, how tight did you wear your post surgical and sports bras? I don't want to go too tight. I purchased a small sports bra from Dick's sporting goods, when it came in the mail yesterday I took the tags off and realized that I couldn't get that small over my breasts. I've spent a lot of money on sports bras that I can't wear. I also ordered 2 , 32 C sports bras from Victoria Secrets and those are too small as well! I started out a 32 A and now I'm assuming I'm a high C. Should I just stop ordering bras online?

Hah! Yes. My surgical bra was a size too small. In pain all the time. I asked for a larger bra. I was sore for at least a month. And then I had trouble getting back into exercise routine due to discomfort. But, it all improves as time passes. Best of luck.

Thank you for sharing your story on RealSelf. Your photos worked great...and you're looking good. You will notice a lot of changes over the next few weeks as the swelling subsides and your breasts drop and fluff. How is the hematoma healing? Congratulations!!
Good to hear! How is the exercise going with your new girls? Do you just run or do you do upper body workouts too? We have identical stats, including age and children, but I don't quite look like your fit body. You have inspired me! ;)
You look awesome...just keep doing whatever you do! ;)
