I've always had uneven breasts and have never felt comfortable being in bathing suit let alone being naked. It's never been about having huge breasts or for about attention, I wanted to be able to feel comfortable in my own skin.

So it'r two days after surgery and I'm in a lot of pain. The bigger implant on the left side is causing the most pain. I also had the lipo done so that is causing some real soreness. My chest is really tight and its really hard to do normal every day things. Tried taking a shower and the pain was horrible, so it will be another few days before I try that again... more to come

Great review?

Have you tried another shower yet? I guess it has to be sponge baths for a while after surgery. Make sure you take it easy and heal heal heal.

So showering is going well.... the swelling started to really set in with the lipo, not such a great feeling. Went and got new bras... very exciting and eye opening... I'm measuring at a 38D now a little crazy. More pictures to come

Thanks! I'm going to either be a full C or small D the left size will be receiving roughly a 460cc implant and then the right will be 350cc implant. They will be saline so there can be somewhat of an adjustment if needed. Down to the last week of count down!!! Really excited I'll post picture as soon as I can
