This is a long review but I tried to give as much detail as possible! :)
Today is my 1st day post op and i am in so much pain! I have been taking all the pain medications on time but it still hurts! sleeping helps a lot! I have a high tolerance for pain but it hurts like crazy! Its mostly just feels tight probably because I chose to get 600 cc.
What I got were 600 cc HP SALINE under the muscle transaxiliary, so through the armpit. The reason I went so big is because I had a lot of natural tissue with my breasts. The reason I chose to get implants is because I used to love my body very much. Throughout high school I weighed on average 118-122 lbs. Due to a health scare i dropped from 122 lb to 104 within a month!! when you lose that much weight so fast you also lose a lot of tissue and volume. For the past 2 years I have tried to gain back that weight but still my body is not like it was before!
A little bit about my day of op and everything that went on before!
Before the surgery I chose a great doctor with friendly staff! I was confident in this team thats why I chose not to book consultations with other doctors! Also, I reviewed all of his work for breast augmentation and I love the way everything looked so natural and not fake. I definitely did not want to look fake! I had 2 consultations with them! The doctor and the nurse measured me and suggested to do 540 cc then fill it up to 550 cc.
I didn't like the 550 too much because it just looked I was wearing my push up bra. Next consultation I went in for sizing. I tried on 550 cc , 600 cc, and 650 cc. I immediately fell in love with the 600 cc and chose them.
The reason I went with saline is because my doctor said that A) it will be under the muscle and I have a lot of good tissue, so you wont be able to tell the difference, B) lets just say there was a problem and the saline would leak it would be be more obvious and and doctor would be able to fix it right away. Let me just say I was nervous about saline, but after watching my doctor stretch the saline implants like it was play-doh I know they wont break easily!!
Day of surgery!
day of surgery I met with a nurse that explained my medications and answered any questions. NOTE: the prescription with all my medication was faxed to my pharmacy a week before and I brought it all in the day of surgery!
The doctor came in and drew some lines around my breasts and chest. We went over my desired looks one last time before he brought me into the operating room. In there I lied down and met with the anesthesiologist and another doctor. They put The IV in my hand and the oxygen mask on my face. I don't even remember falling asleep, it happened pretty fast. When I woke up I was in the recovery room with a different nurse! she tried to talk to me and I tried to look down but I was still under the anesthetics. She helped me get dressed and then put me in a wheel chair. My husband was waiting for me and we took a cab home.
I could not eat anything the first night! my husband made me a fruit smoothie but I threw it up later on. Today I have been eating small things like plums. The pain medication is what makes me sleepy and nauseous but other then that i feel much better then yesterday! It really hurts to get in and out of bed! make sure you have someone to help you with that!
I will keep everyone posted with my process.

I, too, had a lot of pain. The pain meds, at first, until I called my doctor and he said that adding a few ibuprofen (4 every 4 hours) would be fine. It was exactly what I needed and helped me get through the first week. Soft foods and shakes were the only thing I craved but I limited my sugar and sodium intake... Still am 1.5 weeks post op. I think you will find a reprieve in a few days. If things aren't better soon, please call your PS or your GP. Hang in there. The hardest part for my recovery has been the bruising. I'm so over not sleeping from not finding the right position in which to sleep. It's a process and I'm sure you'll love your results soon. Let's hang in there together!

they gave me oxycoden to take every 4 hours and they said if pain is minimal to switch to tylenol 3 then switch to just extra strength. me too ive been eating alot of soft fruit and boiled vegetables just to get some vitamins!ya same! i wake up all the time from the pain! im a big side sleeper! and i have some bruising under the breast! yes lets hang in together! im sure once the ladies are in place and the pain is gone! we'll both be very happy! :)

I had a lift and augmentation 7 weeks ago today (May 1). Keep taking your pain meds and try to stay ahead of the pain before it gets unbearable. I can attest that it will get better and before you know it you will be pain free. At 2 weeks I was better but the I felt like I had turned the corner at 4 weeks. I was asked it I would do it again and the answer is, in a heartbeat. It will get better, I promise. Good luck and hang in there
June 20, 2014
I was so scared to get it done but i would get implants all over again too! I honestly cant miss taking any pain killers or else i feel like i cant function! thanks im trying! :)

I stopped pain pills at about day 4. I rode my bicycle 20 miles on day 10 and 60 miles at 2 weeks. I still need lot of pills and my husband used to push me up to get out of bed. Got stuck a couple times by accident.
June 20, 2014
Sounds much like my 1st day home. So much pain for the 1st week.

Drink a ton of water and buy a wedge pillow. That's my best friend!!!
June 20, 2014
I bought a pillow from walmart with the little arm rests on the sides! that helps me get out of bed!

That works too, but the wedge is amazing. Mine has a memory foam cushion on top and you can put your own pillows on top of that, too, to be at an even higher angle. Even after you can get out of bed easier, it helps with morning boob. I didn't have one for my first BA and I had such bachaches from stacking pillows -- not this time!!! It's amazing how having the right equipment makes this healing time so much more restful.
June 21, 2014
yaa i make sure i have plenty of pillows so its easier to get up! it really helps cause i fell asleep a few times completely flat on my back and i could not get up! I literally had to get my husband to push my back up ! i could not move! I love how people say the morning boob! I feel like my morning boobs never left! :p

Aren't those walmart pillow so comfortable? When I first had them done and got tired of asking for help when I was laying down, I grabbed to the back of my thighs and just used my leg muscles to pull myself up. I am two week post op and my implants are still just as high as yours :( I hope you have a fast and smooth recovery girl
June 20, 2014
yess they are! i just noticed me and you have the same doc! dr.j! :) ohh man! i am a very independent person! but sometimes getting out of bed is really painful! the pillow helps a little! they'll drop just try massaging them! they have a video on there website how to massage them! on the doc's website! thanks i hope you recover fast too!!
June 20, 2014
I didn't even notice lol I jest left the office for my two week post op appt. I wish I had gone bigger even thought they havnt dropped yet. He refused to go bigger than 540 because I had this weird extra skin between my breasts that he didn't want to get worst. Jelly jelly jelly! Did you notice the antibiotics smell like crap? Lol can you message me and let me know when your stereo strips come off? I think my insidious are infected or isn't closed properly but they don't seem to think so.
June 21, 2014
ohh noo! ya originally they didnt want to push past 540 for me! they said they would fill it to 550 only because it always looks a bit smaller under the muscle. In the end i guess he was able to fill it to 600! i still feel like theyre small! but its probably because the muscles havent stretched yet ! omg yess! i hate the smell of them and the pain killers! i feel like that smell is all over me! and in my hair! lol ya ill msg you! did yours fall off?
June 21, 2014
Yep it fell off around the end if the first week. They look pretty bad......:( I'm so jealous!!!!!! Ugh!
July 3, 2014
I went back first week and they didnt let me take it off! they cleaned it and put a fresh strip but 2nd day gave me a rash so i just ripped them off! now i have to see them again. they told me there going to have to remove the stiches because theyre not dissolving. How about you?

I totally agree with you on the pain.. I swear I was NOT prepared for the amount I have endured... I am now 1.5 week post op, and can honestly say that today was the first day I have felt somewhat like myself. I had my post op yesterday and told my PS that I love my boobies but they hurt like hell and I will love them so much better when they start to feel as good as they look. I am still taking my muscle relaxants at night because the morning boob is THE DEVIL.. I feel like I am carrying watermelons around lol... I can tell you that it gets better but in the mean time, rest whenever you need to and just allow your body to take the time it needs to heal... Happy healing.... BTW I too have Saline dual plane, high profile 300cc overfilled to 360 and I love them so far... well at least how they look :-)
June 21, 2014
yup i definitely wasn't expecting the pain! noo way that long? i cant wait for this misery to end and just let me enjoy having boobs! your brave because i take those pain medications religiously or else i literally cant function! yess i love the way they look! and i see other peoples progress and how they drop and fluff soo nice just keeps my head up! i cant wait to start bra shopping and trying on cute tops! thanks happy healing to you too girl! :-)
June 24, 2014
I went back to work and found that all the movement made the swelling go down and they felt so much more like mine. 300ml moderate plus silicone. Very happy to not go too big. They look awesome without a bra in a sundress.
July 3, 2014
ya i think thats my favourite part- not wearing a bra! i feel much more free! haha they they look so much better in clothes! no need for that extra push up!

Rockstar30 am considering getting a breast augmentation done and am doing my research/homework. If you don't mind me asking who's your doc?
June 23, 2014
Hey my doctor is Dr. Jugenburg. Where do you plan to get your surgery done? because he's in Toronto. He's really good! I really recommend him and his staff! I cant think of any complaints!

Day 3-5 Update!

rockstar03
Day 3
- feeling great! i didnt feel the need to take pain medications anymore! which im happy about because they make me bloated and constipated! I felt like myself! i was able to do alot more without being soo sleepy all the time! i still take them at night! not for the pain and not as strong! just for the swelling.

Day 5! I can sleep soo much better now! I dont wake up every few hours from the pain! I feel like they are starting to get softer! The only complaint is sometimes i feel a sharp pain on the outside and lower level of my breasts. Im not sure but with some research on realself lol I think its just the nerve ending being repaired!

I think you have absolutely gorgeous results!!! How tall are you? Do you have any of your before photos? How old are you? Hope you are feeling better!

Thank you! im 5'3. Im 22. No i dont, but I was 32 dd naturally but when i lost weight i lost the volume and didnt fill them as well. So i resorted to those double push up bras from victoria secret but they always make my back cramp up. Im very happy now i dont have to wear a bra and still look great! and because they still sit high up it just looks like im wearing a push up bra.
