I have been wanting to get my breasts done for...

WORTH IT$6,200

I have been wanting to get my breasts done for about 5 years now. I finally got together the money and went through with it. I have 4 kids, all of whom were breastfed and this left me with deflated breasts with lose skin. I am 5 foot 7 inches , weigh 155 pounds and have a muscular athletic frame. I have larger than average pectoral muscles as I am lift 6 days a week. After tons of research I decided to go with Gummy bear implants. My plastic surgeon thought they would give me a more natural slope as opposed to a shelf because I had very little fat. I went with the 425 cc maximum width moderate profile shaped implant. The surgery was this past thursday and went smoothly. When I woke up I felt like my ribcage was being crushed, and my back was in a lot of pain. I had a terrible 2 days after surgery with very little sleep, lots of crying, severe back pain...it was much worse than I expected. The back pain was the worst part of it and I am still not sure why. I had to have a constant heating pad on my back. I finally found on day 4 that in addition to hydrocodone and a muscle relaxer I also had to alternate in advil, that was the only thing that seemed to give my any relief. Now, I am finally feeling like Im improving after 3 days of hell. I wonder if I would have taken advil in the beginning if it would have made a difference, I wish I would have tried.

My other concern is that my breasts are wide set and I wish they were closer together but from what I have read it seems that this is the anatomy that I am stuck with and theres not much that can be done. And even though they are wide set I am still happier with them than without the implants. I also think that I should have possibly gone a little bigger, I knew women say this after and I probably should have listened and gone with a 500 cc implant. I like how mine look right now as fart as size but I am concerned to they will get smaller and I will be disappointed. I live in Buffalo NY and the surgery was done with Dr Todd Koch in Amherst/Williamsville.

I just recently had a benelli lift with fat transfer. I have the same anatomy too in terms of space in between breasts. It's difficult when we look back and think if we had the chance to do it this way or that then the result would make us happier. May be true but may not be as well. We also tend to be more critical of ourselves than we need to be. I think they look fabulous! Once mine recover I may post a pic too just because it's nice to hear the compliments and encouragement. You did an excellent job choosing a great surgeon and the right implants. Enjoy them!

I am having the same issue as you. I am very muscular and gave strong pectoral muscles. (Push ups and heavy bench press). I was fine after surgery but now I am home I feel like I have a broken rib on my right side it hurts to breathe or move! When did your pain start to subside chick!! X
