After years of wanting a BA... I am finally getting one the day after tomorrow. My surgeon is using the "dual plane" technique and I am getting Allergan SRF-415 implants. I am getting really nervous to go with my excitement! I lost 60 lbs a few years ago... combine that with breastfeeding 2 babies and early menopause (I am 44)... my once glorious, perky 36Ds are now a sad, embarrassing 34A or small B.

I have been trying to stay distracted but I can't help but obsess! I know it will be great and I am super excited. I just hope I can sleep tonight!

Looking forward to some symmetry and some fullness!

That was fast! I checked in to the surgery center at 945... and got home at 115. Been resting but, despite the drugs, sleep is escaping me. I am sore, like 48 hours after doing a ton of push-ups, but in no real pain. I took a peek and they are really high and feel huge. Now the healing begins. Will
Post pictures later this evening.
Dr B is great. Very sweet, and super efficient, and clearly gentle! I expected so much more pain, but nope! At lest not yet!

They are so swollen up top and squar-ish for now but holy volume! Pain meds are starting to wear off but I seriously could get away without them if I had to.

Was hoping I might be able too drive to my opt-op but will need husband or Uber this morning to play it safe. Still no pain; just discomfort.
Off to I've someone! Hope everything is resting easy!

Outside of being sore and tired, and a bit itchy on the girls, I am feeling pretty well! Today pic with bangages still in place

This is a highly intelligent, sweet man. He was the 3rd surgeon I met in the KC metro and I chose him on the spot, for several reasons: his willingness to explain everything and why, his honesty about we we can achieve, based on actual measurements. And he is a KC local. Gotta love that! I am less than 24 hours post op and outside being sore (think about recovering from 500 push-ups sore). I feel great!! His touch was gentle.
Other things: his front office staff could learn to stop surfing their phones when patients are in the lobby. The Caucasian female was particularly rude. The African American lady was much nicer and at least tried. They did not bother me enough to lose a star on the review, but I can see how some might feel upset by the lack of professionalism. If someone is coming into your office spending several thousand dollars, the courtesy of a smile goes a long way. Don't let them sway them away you from the doctor behind the door.
Thank you Dr B!

Its coming, I know but I am impatient! Overdid it yesterday and paying for it today in tired and sore.

One thing that's amazing to me is I had exactly zero bruising. My recovery has been really really easy. I am sore and get some occasional weird numbness and nerve pain and I can overdo it pretty easily. But I am so surprised on just how boring this recovery has been.
Implants at dropping some; I will try to gab a picture in the next day or so.

Still high and square. They have dropped a bit and rounded a tiny bit. Patience is not my strong suite! ????

I love the boobs. They are perfect for me...they have dropped and fluffed, and soften more and more as time goes on. Full sensation, o pains or numbness. Happy! Some pictures for comparison.
