I have always, always, always been self conscious about my breasts. They were not like the other girls no matter what I did. They were long and narrow, rather than full and round. I also have very large areolas, much like a snoopy nose. I wore padded bras to give the appearance of roundness but then the upper part of the bra would be popped out because I still couldn't fill it. I am tired of that. I am ready to get this "monkey" off my back and start feeling confident about my breasts! Less than one month!

Day 2 post op. Feeling pretty good. A little more sore than yesterday but that is expected. Dr. Gervais and his staff were wonderful through the whole process. He spent a fair amount of time with me pre-op discussing my options again and reasons for his recommendations. He took extra time in the OR with me due to the complexity of the surgery. I was really nervous and the staff really helped me through it all. Follow up phone calls were very helpful and friendly. Overall I think it was a good experience! Can't wait to see the new "girls"!

One week update: I have kept on top of the pain really well and have only felt discomfort and tightness. Today, I feel pain. Only because my muscles are revolting against the chest strap that I have on to help the implants drop. My breasts are a bit scary looking as well at this point but that was completely expected. A little bruising, benelli lift stiches and tightened, squarish shape due to the surgery. All of this and I can still say I am so happy I did this! I put on a "regular" bra last night (no wires) and I actually teared up because I had boobs. Not my old ones, ones that looked like regular boobs! (well, minus the other symptoms). I filled out a bra for the first time in my entire life!
