Day 5 post op

Here is some updated pics on day 5. Overall, can’t express how happy I am with everything! Here you can see some before pictures of me.. in all these before I’m not wearing any bras with padding or anything.
Something I am a little worried about is that my left boob was slightly smaller than my right prior to my BA but my surgeon said that it wasn’t that big enough of a difference to do different CC’s and keeping the same would even them out more than doing different. So I can’t tell if one looks bigger than the other?

Same here my doctor said my left one was smaller before the surgery. Remember they are sisters and not twins. Happy healing!
June 25, 2020
Thats what I was thinking. They're not too dramatic of a difference even if one is slightly smaller so I'm not upset it at all. Thank you! Just looked at your journey and they look great too :)
June 26, 2020
Hey girls! I am in the same boat. Had surgery and love my doctor but my right boob is bigger than my left...but hopefully after they heal it will look normal.
June 26, 2020
Just saw your photos. It seems like one just needs to drop more. They don't look that uneven! What size cc did you do?
June 26, 2020
Yours also came out so beautiful!
June 26, 2020
They look good to me. I noticed one of mine dropped quicker than the other so I had that thought too. It's interesting to see how they look on different people of the same body type. I haven't gotten around to posting my journey/pictures yet because I just started a new job but I am pretty much the same build (5'3", 90-96lbs) and went with 375CC. They actually don't look bad and are still somewhat swollen but it appears I'll be about a C/D. You're lucky you healed so nicely as far as pain goes. I was MISERABLE and ended up throwing up/being super stopped up from the meds. I couldn't shower on my own for almost a week.
June 26, 2020
I've heard people say one drops quicker than the other. I'm debating on buying those stabilizing bands on amazon that helps push them down but not sure yet. I'm sorry your recovery wasn't as smooth :( did they give you the nausea pills? Or was it because you were taking so much pain killers? I can't wait to see some of your pics when you post!
August 12, 2020
I thought about that too, but figured I would wait until my next post op next week to see what he says. They did give me the nausea pills but I think that because I'm so small, the pain pills just really did a number on me. I couldn't do Tylenol even a week or two after so it was definitely hard but so worth it. I'm hoping to upload my review this weekend! I was just trying to get good pictures to put with it :)
June 26, 2020
Looks amazing, very nice!
June 26, 2020
Thank you!
June 26, 2020
What bra size is that considered?
June 26, 2020
I'm thinking I'm going to be a full C or small D? I'm still super swollen but I'll keep you updated in the next coming weeks
July 2, 2020
B or C

I don't know my current size.. still healing.

No more pain & swelling it dropping!

Charming334556
I’m officially 4 days post op and now feel they look decent enough to post pictures of. Day 0, 1, & 2 were not the prettiest sight of them so I didn’t want to post
Now on day 3/4 they’re starting to look less swollen but of course still a long way to go in the dropping process. I can’t wait for them to be closer together and drop in the natural crease to hide the scars. My incisions are smaller than I anticipated which I’m happy about!
Overall I’m so happy with my recovery, surgeon, and size! (325 cc, HP, under) By day 2 I was able to do a lot on my own. It was Father’s Day on post op day 2 so I went to visit my dad and of course took it lightly and just sat around. I haven’t been needing many pain meds except when I sleep just to ensure I get a goodnight rest. Today (post op day 4) i was able to shower myself and even wash my own hair!

I’m having my surgery Monday! I’m 5’2 and about 112-115 lbs. My doctor had told me 330ccs and 345 ccs would be perfect for me. Different sizes to make them even. But I’m also afraid of looking dumb and too “top heavy” I want fuller boobies but still want them to be very natural and sit pretty. Please keep updated! I feel like we’re about the same
June 25, 2020
Honestly I was so scared I was going to big and even almost changed my size a week before surgery but my surgeon & everyone there reassured me it wasn't going to be too big. Since I was also going for a natural / full look they said this would be the perfect size and it honestly really is! I could have going probably a little bit bigger and still been okay because I was also too scared of looking too top heavy. I'll post some updated pictures right now for you to see & some before as well
June 25, 2020
I just posted some update pictures :)
June 25, 2020
Thank you! They look great! It makes me so excited. I’m going in tomorrow to meet with the nurse practitioner and go over sizing one last time. I’m about a small b right now, so not too bad. But I definitely don’t have any side boob how you did! They’re just perky lol. I’m trying to think of all my questions right now to ask for tomorrow! But again thank you!
June 25, 2020
They look beautiful!
July 2, 2020
Thank you! :')
June 26, 2020
Yours look good! I’m 5’1 1/2 and weigh around 115/118. And I got 415cc I’m on week 3 you will see a lot of changes over the next days, weeks and months!
July 2, 2020
Really? That's reassuring to know... I keep feeling like now almost 2 weeks post op this is basically my final result?!
July 2, 2020
Thanks, so you would recommend this medical group?
July 2, 2020
Yes i would recommend the surgeon / place I went to.
July 2, 2020
Thank you for your help. I'm a man and would like b cups. Or c. Just so they bounce. Maybe you can help?

Day of treatment

325cc Breast Augmentation on petite frame

Charming334556
So I’m about 5 hours post op currently and my pain level is about a 4/10. I’ve only take half a norco and have been walking around the living room for the past 25 minutes. I’m able to use the restroom by myself which is a good sign to me! I’m scared that tomorrow my pain will be worse for some reason.
I know I said I was nervous about sizing but I looked and they don’t look that big despite the swelling (to me) still have ways to go of course because I’m not even 24 hours post op. Opinions on them? Also my surgeon didn’t put me in a surgical bra after.. is this normal? Should I put it on?
Again my implants are 325cc, silicone, high profile, and incision in the breast fold. Prior I was probably an A cup? One boob was slightly smaller than the other but my doctor said it wasn’t a big enough difference to do different CCs. I’ll upload pictures tomorrow at one day post op.

My surgeon was adamant about me staying in the post-surgery bra for 6 weeks, he talked to my husband right after my surgery and said to make sure I keep it on because I'm so small and they need to stay in place; he also said to not massage at all because it loosens the pocket and he doesn't want me to cause them to bottom out/double bubble - BUT it's different for different people because it depends on the surgeons methods during surgery. For me, I couldn't imagine not wearing the bra for the first 5 weeks because it's so uncomfortable when I take it off, like they're going to fall LOL. Also I wanted to say, for a while one of mine seemed more in my armpit, one seemed bigger, one hurt more, etc and it’s all normal and will even out so don’t let it freak you out because it bothered me. The swelling is crazy and I didn’t want to look at them for weeks but it’s all worth it, when they start getting soft it gets exciting again haha
June 20, 2020
I've watched so many YouTube videos and all the girls said they wore it immediately after so i think I'm going to start wearing it starting tomorrow because they have so much pressure towards the bottom of them :( thank you so much for you advice!
June 26, 2020
The surgery looks successful from the images you shared. I am curious if your pain rose from the 4/10 you mentioned experiencing on day one or if things remained about the same. I am helping a friend research and what I heard was that you didn't want to overexert and let your body heal. I am interested in your recovery because you seem to be getting back into the swing of things remarkably fast compared to others. Thanks much, -d

Hi there! My pain definitely didn't rise from a 4 at all. It decreased to about a 2 by day 3 which was this past Monday (06/22). I mainly felt discomfort but no pain if that makes sense? By Tuesday I was showering myself & washed my own hair. It probably wasn't the most thorough shower but I managed lol! Today I'm officially one day post op and can fully lift my arms above my head comfortably but I was already able to do that by about Wednesday as well. I'm so glad I'm having a speedy recovery because my Bestfriend got hers done a month ago and she was the opposite of me but she went 425cc so I'm thinking how big you go & your frame size makes all the difference. I would say my biggest complaint as of right now is I'm still not sleeping flat on my back or side but that's pretty normal. also sometimes my nipples get a little tingly lol
June 26, 2020
I'm sorry I meant I'm officially one week post op today *
