Ive been extremely flat chested all my life. The boys used to say "you're so flat, the walls are jealous." Im very self conscious about my boobs and jokingly say I don't need a bra, just bandaids over my nipples. My sister got a BA when she got narried and my mom got one at age 63! Both of them said its extremely painful initially - like an elephant sitting on their chest. And a feeling of pressure and tightness. I'm very nervous about that because I have anxiety which starts as a tightness in my chest. Im wondering if I will be able to handle the sensation. Ive read reviews where girls say it's not bad and others say its like bowling balls on their chest. I try to tell myself it'll be worth it when I have my big boobies!! When I can wear a bikini and fill out my clothes

I don't have any answers for you, as I am in the same boat. I periodically get really bad anxiety. I went to a PS 4 years ago but chickened out because I'm scared that I'd get to anxious. Well, I still want bigger breasts and went and saw PS again and am trying to build up the confidence to go get it done.... Scared I'll be a complete nut-case by the time of the surgery, lol! You're not alone ;-)

Thanks for the comments! I keep trying to tell myself its a short period of discomfort forthe womanly sexy body I so desire. Im thinking of sstarting a collage of beautiful breasts that I want to be like and when I get nervous, I can look at them and look at my goal. I know I can't let my fear of recovery stop me from getting what I really want. I have had two kids so it can't be that bad lol

I just had my surgery yesterday and I can honestly tell you I havent been in that much pain. More like discomfort or soreness. Kind of like when you go to the gym and the day after your real sore. But then again everyone is different some people react different. I did feel some pressure on my chest but nothing bad. Im only taking half of my pain medication because I dont feel like I need it all. I say you should go for it. Its totally worth it.

Hey girl! had my surgery 2 days ago, and it's been uncomfortable but not super painful! Don't forget that they give you some strong pain killers and muscle relaxers, so you'll be fine! the results will make you super happy, so I say GO FOR IT!

I heard people say "elephant sitting on my chest" I didn't experience that at all and I have very high anxiety and panic attacks. And all went fine. I just proud for comfort and peace leading up to the big day and I'm day 11 feeling fine!
