WORTH IT$5,500
Im 5'2" 130 lbs and have a 5yr old son and an almost 2 yr old daughter. both were C-Sections. I had my BA on my birthday! May 16, 2013. Natrelle style 20 high profiles 425cc on Left and 500cc on Right. ( after breast feeding my daughter I had one bigger! I didn't need a lift) 34 B (full B on left and small B on right) under muscle and Crease incision.
Dr. Daniel and his staff are very nice and the RN's from the hospital were all so nice and made me feel very comfortable.
I remember going in the day of my surgery at 6:30 and I had to get naked and I wore this different type of gown, which a hose connects to it and it blows warm/ hot air.
The RN hooked me up to the IV . Took my vitals and I was off to another room. Dr. Daniel arrived he marked me up and asked me whats my fav music I said 80s- Madonna and asked me whats my fav color and I answered pink and purple.
Then the anesthesiologist came in and he gave me the anesthesia And told me that they were going to take me to the OR. But I don't remember going there because I was out. When I woke up I was in the same recovery room. I was very sleepy and I just asked the RN if i had my implants in and she answered yes. I had no pain but felt a lot of pressure.
They took me to the other room and there I met my husband and sister. Once I was dressed the nurses brought me a yogurt with a soda lid and a candle and sang Happy Birthday to me! That was so nice!! I before I left I was given a Purple beaded necklace by my dr!
I came home I took norco every 4 hours and I wasn't nauseas because of the patch behind my ear.
Friday I was also fine, no pain and just icing with frozen peas.
Friday night I removed the patch. Saturday afternoon I was very nauseas. Glad I didn't throw up.
I stopped taking Norco and took Ultram. I took one Saturday and one Sunday. Tylenol is what I started taking Saturday night and Sunday. Again I had no pain but I wanted to be on top of my Meds.
My husband helped me a lot!! Sunday and Monday I only took Tylenol once but I still had a lot of pressure on chest. Tuesday was the same just pressure and my breasts were still hard. Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday I rested i don't think I had a lot of energy. Monday I went to my post op and my dr showed me how to massage them.
Tuesday I had a more energy and I'm sleeping better. I can't wait for my boobs to soften up!

10 days Post Op
Lilbutterfly75May 26, 2013
10 days post op and feeling good! I started getting shooting pains (I read about that on RealSelf) and they don't hurt but just annoying. Not sure if I mentioned it but after my surgery I touched my nipples and I had sensitivity and still do :) went back to work on Wednesday the 22nd and I wanted the day to be over! My boobs were super hard and I would get out of breath I had so much pressure on my chest. But it has gotten better. They still get hard but I don't feel they much pressure.

Oops! It's 9 days post op not 10! LOL

It's not 10 days...i forgot to mention that today I started to lightly clean my house but I had to take breaks. Today I didn't feel the need to ice my boobs. Oh and last night my incisions were itching badly! Well, I'm super happy with my boobs so far and hubby too!

Does the dr let you put anything for itching or do you just have to let it pass?
May 26, 2013
Tegovea I didn't call my dr but I did put coco butter and it hasn't itch anymore.

It's reassuring to see others still have high and tight boobs. I'm at post op day 4 and they are high and tight! I'm treads for them to drop.

Hi oscen- after one week post op, even if they feel tight/hard, it won't be as uncomfortable as the first days. I think I have gotten use to tightness. Good luck!

Congratulations! You look great! Glad to hear your husband was able to help you. Did he have any extra help with the kiddos? Try not to clean your house too much. Rest when you can. (Easier said than done, right?!) Thank you for sharing on RealSelf.

Thanks Beth! I really love this site! It helped me so much before I actually booked my surgery!
My husband had some help from my two sisters with the kids but he did so much for me! He's a sweetheart!
Thanks for ur advice! That's true I am a clean freak but I'm taking it slow.

Your new twins look great :) I kind of wish I would listen to my PS and let him add a little bit more to my left breast since its slightly smaller than my right one. I ended up wanting the same size of implants on both of my breasts because I didn't want to deal with any psychological post op. I didn't want to pull the blame card if my breasts were uneven, if anything I'd rather it be my decision that I have to live with. Do you know what I mean? Anyway, my twins hasn't fully dropped it fluffed yet. So hopefully it won't be much of a difference. Again, you look amazing. And honestly, it makes me regret my decision ...lol :/

Your boobs look great! They don't look small. I was worried when my dr said he was going to put 500cc on one boob! I was afraid I wouldn't look natural but with these sports bra I'm easily able to hide them and no one at work has noticed. Even I have to stop and touch to make sure they r still there LOL because these sports bras squishes them.
You have a small frame so I know u will look proportioned once they drop and fluff. Just keep in mind that you LOOK GREAT!!!
