Breast Augmentation: Stories

First off I would just like to thank everyone that shares their stories, I know how comforting and reassuring they can be. I am 23 years old, about 5'4, 120 pounds, and I don't even fit into a cup size but I have a 32 band but I would like to a full C.

Right now I am about a week shy of my first consultation and already I'm feeling that surreal feeling. Right now everything I have at the moment are just dreams without any reality. I was literally born without boobs, I don't even need to wear a bra. I am one of those people who gets annoyed when people complain about their lack of upper body because I know that I will always win.

My biggest fear is now that I have finally committed to my decision I will learn that I am too small to even have breast augmentation. So if anyone out there has any tips are advice it would be much appreciated!

So I just had my first and only consultation of this process. I absolutely fell in love with my doctor, she is extremely knowledgable and I am even more excited now. The best part is I was able to get an appointment for next Monday morning (the 8th) to get it done! After years of wanting this it's finally going to happen in less than a week!

I should also mention that I decided to go with a 350 cc. I was kind of thinking a C would look way too big on me and it looks just right! Cannot wait to get them done! 6 days and counting!

So I'm five days until surgery, I cannot believe how fast everything is happening. I have always wanted breast augmentation, and after years of wanting them it is next week already! Today I went and paid for them, most money I have ever spent at one time ever! Showed pictures of what I would like on myself, and learned what to do prior to coming in next monday. I was lucky enough to be able to have them done in a hospital which makes me feel even more confident. All that's left is for me to just sit and wait until next monday, hopefully the time goes by quickly. Oh, I also get a complimentary facial with the surgery and I am very excited for that as well! Hope everyone is having a good day!

So it's just before midnight, soon I will be able to say that i only have three days to go. This whole process for me has been happening so quickly I almost wonder if it is happening too fast for me to really grasp what is going on. I've never had surgery before aside from getting my wisdom teeth pulled (if you can count that), and the whole idea of it is starting to freak me out. I'm getting them done on the 14th and then I start a new full time job on the 22nd, kind of wondering if that is just insane for me to do. My doctor assured me that most women only need a few days to get back to things and after reading other peoples blogs I'm wondering if that's just a friendly little lie. All I can think right now is about boobs. Oh well, this I'm sure is normal. I cannot wait until noon on monday when I will officially be a woman!

Oh I've also added a side profile of what I look like now.

So today I bought a zip-up sweatshirt as well as started to do the whole "nesting" thing. I also went to VS to return a bombshell bra I bought a couple weeks ago before I knew I'd be having surgery so quickly. Life's funny like that. Looking at all the bras that I've never been able to fit in makes me so excited that next week at this time ill have boobs! Ha! Happy Friday everyone!!

So it's 4 something in the morning. Currently at the hospital. Wish me luck!!!!

So it's all over. What an easy experience! Everyone was so nice, I barely remember even being in the operating room! I ended up with 400 cc on my left side, and 424 on my right side instead of the 350. So glad she went up instead of down. I'm barely even in pain, it's more of an ache if anything. After getting in my room the nurse came in and let me choose where I wanted my IV. I was so happy about this because I was scared of it going into my hand, I of course chosen the crux of my right arm, then she gave me a shot to numb my arm and in went the IV. Next, my anesthesiologist came in asked me some questions, and then gave me an anti-nausea patch behind my ear that lasts for three day, boy did that work, I haven't felt sick at all. Soon after that my doctor came in and marked me up, she was so nice! After that I got a really nice addition to the IV that made me feel very nice and I was on my way to the surgical room. I remember getting on the table, stretching my arms out, and getting this nice warm feeling. I don't remember him putting a mask on, or counting down or anything. When I woke up I felt groggy but good! No nausea at all. I got wheeled into another room, saw my sister, ate some crackers and gingerale, then finally went home. The ride home was so easy I felt no pain at all. Now I'm lying on my couch, just woke up from a nap to take my meds. I'm on Norco, super ibuprofen, a muscle relaxer, and some sort of anti-bacterial medicine. This experience so far has been so lovely, I even love the post surgery bra I was given!! Hopefully the rest of my recovery will be like this!'

So just woke up, definitely more sore than I was yesterday. I feel sore from my waste all the way to my shoulders, but it's still not that bad. I broke my pelvis 2.5 years ago in a car accident, and I would say this is much less painful than that. I've been setting my a alarm clock for every four hours to take my medicine, and falling asleep right away hasn't been a problem. With the lovely anti-nausea patch I have behind my ear I still haven felt sick at all. Can't wait to see the girls tomorrow when I get to shower for the first time! I've been sleeping on a love seat that's brand new. Most comfortable ever!!

Just had a peak at my new girls. Is it normal for them to look like man boobs when they're swollen?

Holy bloat!! Plus this muscle relaxer I'm on gives me the inability to pee. Just got out of the shower where I feel sooo much better and decided to post some pics. Let me know if they look like they're supposed to seeing as I don't have my post-op until next Tuesday.

Good morning all!! It's been three days since my surgery and I find myself waking up less sore than the day before. The top of my implants on both sides are making gurgling noises when I touch them, I don't know if this means that they are settling. My one complaint is that under my right armpit when I'm getting up or laying down there's a spot that hurts extremely bad. Has anyone experienced this? On the bright side I'm starting to be less bloated!

I'm getting so sick of being on meds around the clock and being so bloated, so I've decided to wean myself off of them. I can't wait for my post-op appointment to see how I'm coming along. Today I've developed a bruise down the entire cleavage of my breasts? Has anyone else gotten that? Healing is still going well, I've been out and about which has been fun. I cannot wait until I get to try on bathing suits and bras, hope these things fall sooner than later!!

I should mention I've posted the picture of my bruise.

From what I've read, the feelings that I currently have are normal. Today I was pretty sick all day, my guess is because I'm starting to ween off of all the prescriptions. I am getting so sick of this tight feeling, I just want to feel normal again. I know it will go away in time but sooner than later would be nice. Because I'm so not used to the weight of these things showers, which I used to look forward to, I cannot stand in longer than just to wash my hair and body quick. The only time I can handle the weight of them is with my surgical bra. I know these feelings will all subside, today just sucks. That's my rant, hope everyone enjoyed their Friday.

Sorry for the long absence in posts. I had an extemely rough weekend with the new girls. I was nauseous and uncomfortable and regretting my decision with them. Because I've never have had breasts its been a work in progress for me to get used to these things. After stopping all pain medication getting used to the tightness has been hard. Either way, me and the girls have had our turning point and are now on the up and up. Sleep, thankfully, made the sun shine for me again. I feel like all of a sudden the switch flipped and my extreme bloat was gone, the started dropping, and I was able to go the bathroom like a big girl. Eureka! I have learned that snowfall and fresh implants do not go hand in hand. Scraping off the window is a trial, and I am proud of myself for even being alive to update. I had my post op today too. I'm sure I can think of more things to say, but that's all I have for right now. Hope everyone's had a good weekend!

Today has been the two week anniversary since I had my surgery. I am so glad that I did this, it really has been an amazing experience. I'm already out of my surgery bra, and my implants feel completely natural. I was never told to do any massages, apparently my doctor doesn't believe in them, but it seems to be just fine. I was worried some of my tops would no longer fit, but all these wonderful investment seemed to have done is just make my tops look even better. I have so much more confidence in myself, and I'm so glad I finally just did it!
