Breast Augmentation: Stories

Well I have always wanted 2 have a ba done. I have always been very small chested even after having 2 kids. 1st let me tell u about myself I'm 41 yrs old and married with 2 grown kids. I'm 5'3 125 pounds and very small up top as far as bra size goes I wear a 34 a which I could get by without even wearing one at all. So far I have had 3 consults with different drs n my area and and I liked them all but I have chosen 2 go with dr. Emerson at piedmont plastic surgery n Gastonia nc. And the reason 4 my decision was because I felt that at my consult he really listened and understood the size and look I want 2 achieve. I'm going 4 a very natural look not 2 fake but I want 2 know that I have had it done also. At my consult we discussed saline and silicone and I have decided with silicone per my dr because I have very little breast tissue 2 work with. As far as size or should I say cc that's a whole different story I'm so confused about all this I know the size I want which is a c cup but when I tried on the cc implants they all looked so huge on me. I guess since I have never had any boobs everything is gonna look huge. I just don't want 2 b disappointed after surgery and say I wish I would have went bigger or vise versa say I wished I would have went smaller. Anyway I have my pre op app feb 18th and I guess then I can really decide on the right size 4 my body frame. My surgery date is feb 27th and I'm already freaking out. My husband tells me that I'm stressing over nothing but I just can't help it. I have done a lot of research in ba and have had a few friends that have had it done but it's still very scary 2 me. I know once it's over with I will love them and b glad that I went through with it but until then I will just keep freaking out.

Well I finally got some pics posted sorry there turned sideways I'm not very good with all this tech stuff. Well the days r clicking by so fast and yes I'm still a bundle of nerves. And still undecided on the size and profile maybe when I have my pre op I will know then or at least I better lol.

Well as of 2 day I now have 16 days until the big day I'm super excited. I can't wait until my preop app so I will finally know what size and profile I want 2 go with. I can't seem 2 think about anything here lately but boobs my husband says I'm obsessing over this but I'm just excited is all. But don't get me wrong I'm still very very nervous. I just hope I get the results that I want. I know it's gonna take time 4 them 2 soften up and 2 drop n 2 place and I will try and b patient but that's not one of my strong points but I will do my best. However I do feel very good n the dr that I have chosen so that's a good thing right? I will keep everyone updated as the days click by.

Well as of 2 day I officially have 2 weeks until the big day and I'm getting so excited its seems that's all I can think about hear lately. Lol. I am still doing all kinds of research some of it not so good but 4 the most part it's good. It's just really hard 4 me 2 believe that n 2 weeks I will finally have the boobs I have always dreamed about (hopefully) if all goes well. I'm still alittle concerned about if I will b able 2 return back 2 work that following tues I'm having my surgery done on a wed morning. I'm a home health nurse so that's kinda got me worried I really don't have all that much lifting or pulling I just do a lot of traveling. So I guess I just need 2 take it day by day and see how I feel and how I'm healing and listen 2 what my ps tells me is best. Well I hope everyone is doing well and keep the updates coming I love reading them they have really helped me a lot.

Well I had my pre op done 2 day and it went pretty well I finally have decided on the size and profile I chose the sientra implant mod + profile 375 I hope that will give me look I want 2 achieve. When I got there I was so nervous they started by checking my bp and I usually have a very low bp but not 2 day it was 158/100 and that's high 4 me it was my nerves but after awhile I got calmed down. I basically signed my life away then of course came the big payment that hurt lol. Then I got 2 try on different sizes and profiles so me and my ps think those will b right 4 my body frame . Got my prescriptions and had my blood taken and that was basically it now all I have 2 do is show up next wed at 7:00 and hAve the surgery. I'm so nervous I even asked my ps if he could give me something 2 take b 4 I got there 2 calm my nerves he gave me Valium has anyone even been given anything b 4 hand and if do did it help much? 8 more days and I will hAve my new boobs.

Well I now have 5 days 2 go and I can't wait!! 4 some reason I'm not as nervous as I was but I'm sure as time gets closer I will start getting that way again. I can't really believe that I'm finally going 2 have the tatas that I have always wanted and dreamed about. So EXCITED can't wait!!!

Well I now have 2 more days until I get my new additions in super excited but as the time goes on I'm really nervous. I'm not sleeping well and can't really seem 2 concentrate on much of anything. My nerves r shot I have even made my self kinda sick on my stomach I hope this is normal and I'm not the only one that got this way just a few days b 4 surgery. I know that when 2 morrow gets here I will prob b a basket case and lord the morning if surgery who knows what will happen. Tk goodness 4 the Valium is all I'm saying at least I hope they will work and relax me but who knows I have never taken then b 4 so I guess I will just have 2 wait and see. Still alittle concerned about the size I'm going with I hope it will b big enough. So many worries !!!

Well lady's 2 morrow is the big day I'm so excited. My ps just called and was checking on me 2 see if I was ready and 2 confirm my arrival time I have 2 b there at 7 so that means I need 2 get n bed pretty early because I will need 2 get up at like 5 and leave the house by 6. I hope all goes well and that I'm not n 2 much pain.

Well 2 day is the 2nd day and I have 2 say that I feel pretty good but alittle more sore 2 day than yesterday but as far as pain I haven't really had any. So that's good news. Hope everyone is else doing well. I go for my app this afternoon so hopefully I will get 2 see what they look like.

Just got back from my check up with my ps he said everything looked great and boy r they really sore now after him messing with them but no pain no gain right. I'm think I'm gonna b really happy with my results once they fall and fluff some. All n all I love them!!

Well 2 day is day 3 and I have 2 say that it's the worst so far after my app yesterday afternoon they have really been hurting and so so sore. I can finally have a shower 2 day so hopefully that will help . But all n all I love what I see so far and it was well worth it.

Well 2 day is post op day 4 and I have 2 say I feel pretty good still sore and tightness of course but no pain. I'm officially off my pain meds but still taking the muscle relaxers 4 some reason I'm having these terrible muscle spasm n my back is that normal or what? I had my shower yesterday and u have 2 say it felt wonderful but it was also a very difficult task I had no help at home yesterday so I had 2 fly solo. I can get up and move around fairly well but it seems like I get really really tired easily hopefully that will go away pretty soon. Also I have 2 keep this compression bra on 24/7 the only time I can take it off is 2 wash it and let me tell u it's not very comfy. Did any if u girls have 2 do that as well ?

Well it has almost been a week since my surgery I am day 6 post op and I have 2 say that I feel good. Still alittle sore and tight but nothing 2 bad. I'm loving them more and more each day I just wish they would soften and drop some. And I wish I could get all my energy back it sucks having 2 go back 2 work and within a hr ur tired. How long b 4 complete energy returns does anyone know?

Well it's been a week since my surgery and I feel pretty good still don't have much energy. I started back 2 work yesterday and it was kinda tough but I made it thru it. Can't really tell any change n my breast up til this point still very hard and up high. But the soreness and tightness is almost gone away. Still having 2 wear this compression bra and its killing me it's so uncomfortable. I go back 2 see my ps fri so hopefully he will let me start doing massages and let me out of the bra. Hope everyone else is doing well.

Well I had another dr visit 2 day he said everything looks great and I get 2 start my massages 2 day. He showed me how 2 do it and I'm not gonna lie it hurt I'm still alittle sore and after 2 day I'm really sore. But if it will help them soften and drop then I will stick with it.

Well lady's I'm starting 2 worry now I'm almost 2 weeks post op and I think there may b something wrong. I had a visit with my ps this past fri and he said everything was looking great. But 2 day I was looking at them and my right boob seems a lot bigger now than my left one i dont know if that's normal or what but it freaked me out. I go back 2 see my ps fri so I'm gonna b sure and ask him. It may b that since I have started my massages that has something 2 do with it. But it's very noticeable. Have any of u lady's experienced anything like this? I will post a pic so u can see the difference n the size.

Well lady's it has been 2 weeks 2 day since my surgery and I have 2 say other than the size issue with my right breast (which is back the same size as the left now tk goodness) everything is going good so far. I have my energy back and I can tell that they have softened up just alittle more n my left but I can still tell my right one is softer also. Still haven't dropped much that I can tell but all n all I'm loving them. Hope everyone else is doing well.

Well I had my 2nd post op app 2 day it went well my ps said everything looks good. I got my stera strips off also 2 day. My girls r still pretty tight and firm I have been doing my massages and my ps said 2 continue 2 do them so I hope pretty soon they will soften and drop some. I don't have 2 go back and see him 4 7 weeks so hopefully by then I will b able 2 tell a big difference. Hope everyone is doing good and healing well. And good luck 2 all the lady's that have upcoming surgery dates.

Well it's been 3 weeks 2 day since my surgery and I'm doing good. I have all my energy back and I love my new tatas. The only thing is I wish they would hurry up and soften up there still pretty hard. I have been doing my massages like I'm supposed 2 but I really can't tell any difference n them. I have been reading reviews and a lot if u r saying that yrs r starting 2 feel softer. I had a post op app on the 15th which was last fri and my ps said everything was looking good just 2 keep massaging them. He said that it varies from person 2 person on how fast they get softer and drop and fluff. But I still think after 3 weeks I should at least see alittle change. What do yal think? All n all tho I love them.

Well lady's I'm 1 month post op and I have 2 say I love my results. They r finally getting softer I was getting alittle worried there 4 awhile but I guess I just had 2 b patient. I went 2 vs yesterday and bought a couple bras and n there bras I wear a 34dd but like bras from belks I wear a 34 c I'm happy with the size I have. Hope everyone else is doing well.

Well it's been 5 weeks since my surgery and I love the girls it feels like I was born with them. They r the perfect size 4 my body frame. They r getter softer each day and I also think they have dropped alittle as well. I'm so glad I finally decided 2 go ahead and have the surgery my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. Hope all of my boobie buddies r doing well.

Well 2 day I am officially 6 weeks post op and I have 2 say I don't really remember what it was like not having boobs. I feel like I was born with them now. I love them they r getting softer by the day and dropping nicely.

Well it's been 7 weeks as of 2 day and I have 2 say that I can see a huge difference n them. They r feeling more and more like natural breasts and there dropping as well. The only down fall is 2 me they look somewhat smaller my husband tells me that they don't but 2 me I think they do. But I'm still extremely happy with them.

Well it's been 2 months and I can still see changes n them every day they feel really soft and r still dropping. I love them.

9 week mark and I'm so pleased with my results so far they just keep getting better and better. I think they still have some dropping 2 do but they r super soft.

Not much 2 report other than they r really soft and dropping nicely. I had a visit with my ps on may 3rd and he said everything was looking good. He said they still had some dropping 2 do. Don't have 2 see him again til aug and then we will take some pics. As far as my bra size goes that still has not changed and I'm glad of that. I love them just wished I would have done it alot sooner.
