Breast Implants: Stories

I'm sorry your in so much pain :( by day 4 I was pain free and off meds. I would suggest when ur sitting down have someone push ur back up instead of trying to sit up yourself thats what I did. dont open anything you have to pull or push to hard. I used my foot to flush the toilet. Yesterday I just kicked the heck out of my car door to close it and I have someone open the door for me. My arms are still sore did armpit insicions im 1 week post today :) still have tightness but I'm not really using my meds just ice. and it works wonders. wear clothes u can pull up and zip up button up instead of pull over. Do very little. But make sure are walking around the house a bit. I barely did anything still am. If I go to visit friends I just sit on the couch. I'm a dancer and I'm bored I wanna go back to work. I hated my friends went out the last weekend and I couldnt go almost cried. My neice is about 16 months and wants me to pick her up and I can't so shes been mad at me for awhile lol. But it gets easier. Have ppl come to u and chaffuer u thats what I'm doing lol. I have really good friends they have been doing alot for me. Stay postive! you have boobs you are sexy and you know it. This ur dream not ur nightmare. Good things are hard to come by and pain is only temporary. If you can birth children u can have boobies. I'm scared to death of pregancy I salute all moms. Ur boobs were bigger than mine pre op :) u had juicy a's lol

Congrats on your new boobies ! Hope you are feeling better today . It gets better every day .

Kmd I'm obviously on drugs, just realized this is your site lol! Yes we have a lot in common. I got 375 and 400. Very proportional and could have gone slightly bigger but I'm very happy with what he gave me(it was even a little more than I thought but I'm glad I just trusted him) I have to say your before pics are way better than mine lol! Mine were bad!! So pretty now. Have a good night imngonna hit some sleep :)

Awww. Just saw your sweet ladies posts and thank you so much for the reassurance. Its nice having others understand the process aNd have someone at the same stage, size, life stage, etc. i am one week post surgery today and have my post op one wk appt tomorrow! My husband works 24 hr shifts and today was his first day back. I feel I did great being that I kept my kids entertained today and got my hair done ( it was out of shape so now I feel better in that regard as well) lots of play dates today and i laid on my friends couch with frozen peas (lol she wont tell her husband their future dinner was under my shirt) haha! I went all day without meds but then after kids are in bed I gave in and took a Vicodin and Valium. It's funny I have only had pressure and no pain until a few days ago. Now my crease incision and nipples are so tender! The numbness is luckily going away. Aleslie and kmd I'll pull u up and see how you are doing! Thx for posting and seriously making my day! I'll update after my appt tomorrow :) oh and living in az is amazing most of the time but sweating with boob sutures sucks! Lol

Xraymommy Im also frustrated. I miss sleeping on my side and tummy. I miss being active. I hate that my boobs are still high and hard but everyone said I need to be patient so that's what I'm doing :) I just can't wait for the implants to drop and feel soft and can't wait to feel normal again.

I feel your frustration! I am 5 days post and am so exhausted! I felt great in the beginning... What happened?! Lol I'm ready to be off meds but feel I need them
Still to relax the muscle. I'm ready to be a mom again especially since my kids are now on summer break and want entertainment ;) hoping to get back to my old self again soon!

SO ENCOURAGING! Glad you're good :)

I am not even 24 hours post op and I feel amazing! The posts on here about pain had me nervous too, but with a good attitude and staying up on meds I feel great. Pressure is the worst but not much pain. Valium and frozen peas and u will be golden! We just had my post op and they look great. I too was a negative 32 A and got 375 and 400 silicone under muscle crease incision to be a full c. I wanted natural looking and am very pleased with the whole process! Don't. E too nervous it will be great! I will post more and pics on my site when I go up to my pc. Hard to type on this little phone! :)

Can't wait to hear how your surgery went!

So excited for you! Keep us posted on how it goes :)

I'm 6 days post op and I think u will be just fine at 400-450ccs. It sounds bigger than it looks. I'm 5'2" 118lbs 32aa 28 ribcage. I have silicone 450ccs and I love them. The pain was worst on the first 2 days now I'm OK just waiting to drop and fluff. This is one of my best decisions that I made for myself. I'm so excited for u all!!! Yayy boobs!
