I've wanted to get my breasts done since puberty...

I've wanted to get my breasts done since puberty left me with only a size A cup. With a BA I'm aiming for a big C cup. I've never gone into surgery before and this (and fear of the unkown pain,) has been the reason I waited so long. Reading all the reviews on RealSelf and following some people's progress on has really helped me prepare myself mentally and emotionally. I hope I don't end up chickening out!

I'm also wondering about your stats. I'm 5'5 114lbs and looking to go to a full C too. Looking at 400cc or up to 450cc but don't want it to look unnatural. I'm also 30 years old with kids. Your body is similar to mine so I'm excited to see your results. Good luck!

I'm doing 350cc on my right and 365cc on my left. My ps told me that would give me the full C look.. I may tell him to just do 400 and 415 since he told me there's a 20cc difference when you're trying on sizers and when they are actually inside you.

I'm super excited but also so anxious about the actual surgery and the days following. I've been following many stories on RS and everyone has a different experience. Some say the pain is unbearable and they're stuck in bed for days, and some say they are making dinner for their families the next day. Can anyone offer some insight? What does the pain level correspond with? And also, is it painful to wake up from anesthesia?

Hello, I am one week post-op, and while I'm sure everyone is a little different and things like before/after size, surgeon, methods, pain tolerance affect folks differently, I can tell you that the pain for me has never been awful. I had my surgery last Monday at 7:30am and by early afternoon I took a short (and slow) stroll in my neighborhood, and haven't needed anything more than over the counter pain relief. The first couple of days my pecs were pretty sore, but that went away fairly quickly for me and I have my range of motion back. I would say that I hope you have help with your two boys as I only have one (he's almost 6) and wouldn't be able to keep up with him without the help of my husband.
The pain is not awful, but it's uncomfortable and takes some getting used to. Assuming you gave birth to your children, you can totally do this. I'm one week out and feel much better; just waiting for the feeling to come back to my breasts and for the incisions to heal (the incisions, for me, have been the least painful part).
Good luck!

Wow thank you for this! It made me feel better. Yes I gave birth to both my children naturally so I'm hoping that has tested my chain threshold to the max. My boys are 7 and 3 and both in school till 4pm and after I'll have my husband home and helping. I know I'll be ok. It's just fear of the unkown and how I'll react to the whole change and if my body will be able to handle the pain...

Waking up from anesthesia is not painful, but you may have shivers which could make things uncomfortable. I'm sure you'll be drugged up with pain meds when you wake up though so I'm sure you'll be just fine! Good luck!

It's done! It was a breeze... I was worried for nothing. The anesthesiology team was amazing and next think I knew I was waking up from what felt like a deep nap. Thanks for your comment!

I'm sure he's going to want to explain the details himself besides. He is professional and ethical ! You're a smart woman , you have made a good choice.
