I've been considering a breast augmentation for quite some time now. I breastfed my daughter for over a year, and never pumped/bottle fed. This took a major toll on the shape of my breast. They were a deflated 34B, and I wanted a full C/small B. Initially I selected 375cc, but changed my mind the day of surgery.

These are my before pictures. As you can see my breast were uneven and deflated.

I was the first surgery scheduled on Oct 16th. I arrived at the clinic at 6am, signed final papers. They did a pregnancy test, and then hooked me up to an IV. I was super anxious and nervous. The anesthesiologist came is to verify my medical history, then gave me medication via IV to calm me down prior to taking me to the operating room. Once I got in the operating room I spoke with Dr. Nahai about sizing (I originally wanted 375cc, but told him I wanted 400cc instead). I remember them putting the mask on my face and that's it. Dr. Nahai marked me up and everything after I was already out. It literally felt like I had taken a 10 minute nap, but I woke up with boobs! I woke up with my surgical bra already on. They gave me meds and crackers and water before I went home.

I've started to lessen my pain med dosage, and I've begun to spread out how often I've been taking them. There's somewhat of a burning sensation where my incisions are, but I wouldn't describe it as painful, just a bit uncomfortable. I've been moving around a lot more today, but my arms are still sore. Will post pictures later.

I was a bit more mobile today. My pain isn't too bad either. Tomorrow I have an appointment with Dr. Nahai.

I had my first post op appointment yesterday. Everything went well. Dr. Nahai said they look really good so far. He changed my steri strips, answered all of my questions, and wrote a refill for my pain meds in case I needed them. I'm scheduled to see him again next Monday.
As far as everything else, I feel good. I've been trying to take it easy. The only thing I've really been doing is going to class. The pain gets better with each passing day.

So, I'm 10 days post op, and im no longer in pain. I've gotten sensation back in both nipples, but there's still a bit of a numbing feeling on my left side. I can feel it gradually going away. My incisions are incredibly itchy, I think that's probably the most irritating thing right now. I've noticed that I'm oftentimes a little winded when walking up steps, that's new for me. Tomorrow I'll have my second post op visit with Dr Nahai.
