I'm a 36 yr old mother of two, I'm about 5'7, 120lbs slender build. Iv always had small boobs and especially after breastfeeding my two kids, it left me even smaller. I'm about 32/34A although I wonder if I'm more AA since I don't fill out my bra cups very much. I'm going to SouthBay Plastic surgeons and Dr Jewell is amazing, her and her staff have been more than helpful and understanding! We decided on 385cc Sientra HP implants, possibly a 350 or something smaller for my right breast because it's slightly bigger. My surgery is today and I'm so excited! Very nervous but I know I'll be in great hands! Here are my before pictures! I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow!

About 6 hours out of my BA and going well! Just still really sleepy and a little sore. Everything says tomorrow might be worse but I go back to post op tomorrow afternoon and I'm excited to see them! She went 395 Sientra high profile in both breasts :)

Day one and I’m feeling pretty ok! Iv only used the hard pain meds a couple times, it’s more of a full sore pain and feels very tight. But so far I’m loving them and I can’t wait for them to droop. She did 38cc Sientra on both sides. The worst part is having to sleep on my back but hopefully that’s only for a while.

I’m definitely feeling a little better today. I was constipated since Tuesday and finally got relief this morning! They’re still hard and high but I’m wearing my compression bra and strap and I already see a slight difference in them since Tuesday. I know this is the hardest part, waiting for them to drop into place. But I know good things come to those who wait! I’m trying to take it easy, Iv done some dishes and that’s about it for housework Iv been in bed most of the days just trying to relax. I get waves of nausea still and drowsiness which I can’t tell is still a lasting effect from the anesthesia or mix if my meds. But overall I’m feeling ok.

Last I had to try on a couple tops to see how they fit, definitely happy. Although I feel I might have over did it yesterday because I was sooo sore and tight he rest of the night. Probably the most pain I have had since surgery. It’s not natural for me to lay in bed all day and do nothing being a mom of two but since i felt so crappy last night and hardly slept that’s all Iv been doing today. I also noticed my right breast started to drop and it’s sore, but my left is still harder and much more sore, I know this is normal but i was really hoping they would stay on the same page. But I’m confident it will start to relax and feel better soon.

Heading into day 5 recovery here and I’m still in some pain. The pressure sometimes is so bad, and I swear they are going to explode out of my nipples. I know this is a normal feeling I’m just reading other stories of woman’s recovery’s going quicker and wish that was my case. My right side, like yesterday is the better one you can even tell in a picture that it’s starting to drop and take more of a softer form while my left looks weird still and is the most sore and has random pain. I’m keeping my compression strap on at all times but I don’t go back to see my doctor till Wednesday and then I will be able to start massaging them.

FINALLY turning a corner and feeling better! It was a rough weekend and I can continuous pain throughout the night and nothing seemed to help. Turns out my compression strap that I have been wearing religiously has been the culprit of my inner boob pain. Iv had very severe pain on the inner cleavage area of my breast for days. My surgeons office medical assistant said it could possibly be because my surgeon did more work on the implant in that area to give me more of a cleavage look which I guess would it make sense but the strap I was wearing every day and night was putting so much pressure on it, it hurt so bad. Last night I took it off and wore my compression bra and I am feeling so much better. I go tomorrow for my post op appointment and looking forward to better days. Here’s a comparison pic of how the girl’s are dropping and I’m very satisfied so far amongst the pain Iv been in this week!

Had my one week post op today and it went great! Doctor gave me the clear to start massaging them and wear my own sports bra with good support. I’m feeling so much better and loving my new girls.

Two weeks post op and the girls are doing ok. Still sore, left more than right still, but overall doing great and super happy with how they’re coming along!

Wow I can’t believe it’s already been 6 weeks! Girl’s are dropping nicely, I don’t have any pain but I just get sore here and there if I over work myself. Super happy with my results and can’t wait to see how they even change more in the next few months

These last three months have flown by! It’s been a journey and I’m so happy so far with my results. They feel like they’ve been apart of me forever. They are not sore at all anymore. Iv resumes light cardio and workouts. They are dropping nicely and are starting to feel more and more natural!
