I have been thinking about breast augmentation for about 10years now. My stats 5'7" 143lbs large 36b deflated 36-28-36 measurements, the largest part of my boobs measures 40in. Had a baby gained 62lbs and lost baby weight and then some (he's 3 now). I've met my PS Dr. Smoot in May 2014 first Dr. And happened to be the right match for me. Booked my surgery date dec. 19, 2014 $500 deposit. My pre-op was today Dec. 1st 2014 went well had all my questions answered. I'm having a BA, BL and areola reduction. I've chosen sientra silicone gel texture, at least 450cc, 45:55ratio, Under muscle. Now the count down really begins 18days!!!

I feel much better than yesterday, I was really tight and felt like I had an elephant sitting on my chest. Today I feel better they don't hurt as much and I'm able to go longer without taking pain meds and Valium. No nausea at all. I am able to eat. They don't feel big but my BF says they look big. My PS called me last night to check up on me make sure how I was doing. He said surgery went really well and I was able to get the size I wanted which was 485cc sientra, texture, lollipop lift, areola reduction. I have not been able to see them yet. My PS said I could take a quick shower tomorrow if I wanted to but I could wait until Monday and have them change my dressings. Which I think I will wait till Monday. My boobs feel tight but it comes and goes. My BF and mom have been real attentive to me which I have to get use to. I want to do things but the PS said take it easy. I'm not sure if I got HP or Mod+. I'll ask Monday. I love my PS he is so awesome and nice I can't say enough good things about him.

Feeling much much better. I'm hoping to get off my pain meds today or at least get weened off of it. I know my body needs to heal and I need my rest. We'll see how today goes. I see my PS Monday. I'm still swollen. Haven't gotten to look at my tatas yet cause of the bandages I'd rather keep on until I see my PS.

Dr. Smoot said I'm healing great. I got 485cc, mod +, unders, lollipop lift, areola reduction. Take it easy for the next few weeks. No laundry, dishes etc. He's going to check my sutures on Friday dec 26. That's about it for.

So I'm really bored because I can't do much, for good reason, so I can heal. Found out Percocet makes me itchy so I had to stop taking that and got a prescription for Vicodin in case I need it for pain. I feel like a million bucks, but know I can't do anything for two weeks. I am so happy with my results even though I'm not fully healed yet. They look better everyday. And following exactly what dr. Smoot says. I want to have the best results.
Updated on 26 Dec 2014:
Omg! Just saw Dr. Smoot he is so amazing. I had my stitches taken out, he said I am healing fantastic! One more week of taking it easy and I can start light cardio! Everything is fabulous, I am so happy!!! I'm pretty much the size I'm gona be! Little brusing but totally normal !!! Omg I so happy!!! And dr. Smoot is really really happy with the results! Hands down recommend him for breast augmentation!!! Love him and my tatas!!!

So I went to nordstrom 36DDD they didn't have a good selection on no underwire bra so my BF and I went to VS and measured 36DDD so I got a sports bra and a no underwire but one get one 50% off not bad for the time being. Merry Christmas and hope all are doing good!!

Healing really good. Taking my protien shakes, 1000mg vitamin C, multivitamin, swelling and water retention from surgery finally subsiding weighed 150 I'm back down to 141 thank god! But that's with my 485cc. My measurements band width 35.5in, breast fullest part 42in. Still have to take it easy till this Friday and that'll be two weeks and Dr. Smoot said I can do light exercise but listen to my body. I went off the pain meds 1 week after my surgery and now taking 1000mg extra strength Tylenol which works. Went to VS and nordstrom measured 36DDD. Went to the sight linda the bra lady and measured 38FF/38G. Some bruising but feel good, they're starting to get squishy which is nice.

Feeling really good this week. Dr. Smoot cleared me for light cardio jan. 2nd and Jan. 3rd I walked 5 miles in an 1hr 9min. Felt really good to exercise. Fingers crossed I get cleared to go back to kickboxing Feb. 3rd at my 6 wk check up appt! No Tylenol today first day no painkiller type thing. I get occasional sharp pains in my left boob like twice now and I was told by my PS totally normal, it's the nerves waking up again. Which is good. The strips stay on until they come off by themselves. I use coconut oil, lotion on my entire breasts and arnica on my bruises for now. I put on about 8lbs might be because I'm about to start. I was down to 141 last week not sure what happen probably a mixture of everything. I started my 28 day detox yesterday hope that helps.

I need to go see a chiropractor I'm out...but I'm D&F slowly but surely love them. Now the steri strip finally came off all by itself on my right one. And the itchiness has finally subsided! I put coconut oil on 3x a day including incisions and lotion just on breasts.

OMG can't wa for this rash to go away other than that every thing is going good.

I am very happy with getting my BA & BL just hate the itchy itchy red rash. I don't itch it but I can't wait for it to go away as of now it's normal the PS says. I was putting coconut oil on my entire BReast and lotion minus the incision area. I've stopped that as of today and just put oxygen water on it puricin 3x a day. So I'll keep updating on that part in a few days. So far so good.
Updated on 23 Jan 2015:

Then I noticed a tiny hole on my areola incision spitting stitch took care of that per PS Myself and it's all better now. slowly but surely healing nicely. Now that my incisions healed going to start using cali flora . That's all for now.

Haven't updated in awhile, been super busy. Things are healing nicely, trying to get my strength back in my chest area. I hurt my shoulders prior to getting BA so it's a slow process. Current weight 152 slowly coming off. I go see Dr. Smoot December for my final check up and it'll be a year. I don't think they're that big but my fiancé says they're pretty big. I love them still, I was meant to have big boobs but got skipped in that dept. not that I was super small before 36B/C deflated after I had my son. I will go into a revision on my left side but after I have a baby.
