I had a BA yesterday (325cc, silicone, high profile, submuscular)! I haven't looked or felt much at all yet, I remove my ace bandage tomorrow and can shower (gently) on day 3. Post op f/u is in 2 weeks. The only immediate thing I noticed shortly after arriving home was sound and feeling of air bubbles with upper arm movements.
