WORTH IT$3,600

I am 19 years old and done growing. I ended up with 34a/b size while the rest of the family experienced much more breast growth.
I am 5'2 and 105lbs, and still in the body of a 15 year old. I'm a college student now and for the longest time I just wished my body would grow out and look like a young adult woman.There are even men out there that have bigger breasts than me!
So I finally scheduled an appointment with a PS and from a recommendation and agreement, we decided to go with 380cc to MY left breast and 390cc to MY right breast.
They are High profile saline, and the incision will be under the breast and placement under the muscle. The implants are determined to come out as a full sized c cup.
I am so excited for the big day and i can't wait to fill out tops, swim suits, bras, everything. I am still in decent athletic shape and I have been working out the past month, so hopefully it will help with my recovery.
Check back the day of or the few days following for another post!

You look beautiful now, but one picture generally doesn't tell the whole story. I hope you're happy with your implants. Please come back and let us know how it all goes. When is your surgery scheduled for?

I am 6 hours post-op and I am feeling GREAT! Once I woke up from the anesthesic, I felt so drugged up and dizzy of course, a little shaky, and had a very dry mouth from all the pain meds I was put on. After an hour of the procedure, I was moving around easily. I can't lift my arms all the way up but I can type, carry light things (my prescription packages and bottle of water) like I was perfectly normal. I had sat in a car for an hour post-op for my drive back home. We stopped by Wal-Mart to get the prescriptions and during the wait I was walking around like I never even had a surgery! Of course doing that activity the same day will make me more sore tomorrow. I do have an occasional feel to throw up when I was moving around too much. So I took my nausea medication and am resting now for the night.

My breasts aren't hurting right now but they are VERY Numb! I do have a little nipple sensation back already so that's good news!
My cleavage is that of what I call "[RS bleep] star boobies" so hopefully this bandage I'm wearing across my chest with help give them a little natural relaxed look. I have to wear this strap for 2 weeks straight everywhere I go, except for when I sleep. I do however have to sleep with my post-op button in the front bra, which is good though so when the breasts are healing, they will heal in a proper way and not sag without support so much.

I was told for the next 3-5 I am going to need off work, resting real good for the first 24-hours, and when comfortably capable I can get up and around for a little bit to reduce blood clot and to get a general movement back into my daily life so they don't heal with me being too stiff. The nurse said my stitches in the bottom crease of my breast incisions will dissolve within 7-10 days and the incisions themselves will close up good enough to not wear bandage by 1-2 weeks.

Feel free to ask any questions about pre-op and post-op! I had searched and asked so much myself as well!

Hiya Tlee~ glad to hear your surgery went well. What make you decide on saline over silicone? I have silicone and they feel very natural, but many people believe saline is safer. You have very pretty breasts now, I can just imagine how great they look now after the BA!!! Hope you have a speedy recovery....Thanks for sharing your story:-)

It is DAY ONE post surgery. I went to sleep last night perfectly fine but woke up to the worst pain ever in my chest!
I couldn't reach up/down/sideways. And I had to have my boyfriend lift me up to get off the bed. So right away I took
my pain medication, muscle relaxer and antibiotic to relief pain and ate breakfast immediately. About an hour later
I felt so much better. I put ice packs on the side and tops of my breasts to relief the swelling and ache. I had also
started putting on the Palmer's Cocoa Butter stretch mark cream to help with elasticity. Drinking plenty of water helps
this as well.

I have read reviews before my surgery and some said they could hear and feel the saline implants. I can too.
However it is completely normal for the first week because the healing layer between the rib cage and the implant.
as well as the binding of the implant and muscle, has not developed the protectant layer just yet. RESTING and
not over using your body this first week will determine how soon that will end, as well as the overall pain of the
surgery as well!

My advice is to rest rest and rest real good for the first 3 days at least. Even if you feel like you can perfectly move around.

Congrats ! We have the same dr . I really like her she did awesome on my boobies . She also did 2 of my friends BA . You will feel better every day .
June 20, 2012
Yes Dr. Padgett did amazing! I would recommend her! And I chose Saline because it's much more healthy incase of rupture, plus I had to do Saline anyways since I was under the age of 22. Saline will feel much like a natural look and feel as well after they soften and heal through out recovery. However you are right, silicone does mimic more of breast tissue so many believe that is the way to go for the natural feel!

Once I have kids and by that time I will need another implant surgery, I am going to try silicone! Thought I may of course change my mind before then!

Mine are getting really soft . Hope you have a good night sleep . Yes rest, rest and more rest is what you need for awhile . Your breast are beautiful .

I have a concern. I woke up here on day 3 with a pain to the bottom sides of my breasts, and its located on the outer sides of the inframammary incisions. It feels like some build up of fluids or something or maybe just my implants. Is this normal because I'm freaking out!
