35yrs old, 1 child, 5'2, 105lbs, 12.5 BDW, 28 ribcage, 385cc/415cc Natrelle SRF Silicone - Northern VA

The site have been so helpful so I've decided to start my own feed to document my own experience and journey.

A little about myself: I am Asian, 5'2, 105 lbs with a 12.5 BDW / 28 ribcage. I used to have nice perky breasts but after having my son, they are now a deflated 34B :( After 4 consultations though, I'm must say, I'm glad I found Dr. Brown! The staff are exceptional and I love the family atmosphere of the practice!!!

During consultation I had chosen to go with 300cc/320cc (left side larger) silicone moderate profile. Hoping to be a D or DD afterwards since this was what I had when I was breastfeeding. Of course, I spent 2 weeks after that like everyone else, going back and forth with my decision about size. I went in for my preop last week and we tried the sizers again. We will now be going with 385cc/415cc silicone high/full profile. I don't want to have remorse about size afterwards but at the same time do not want to look too top heavy for my petite frame. It is almost 100cc more than what I had originally chosen but still looks proportional to my hips/butt. This is my final decision in cc and I completely trust Dr. Brown's expertise with the profile change to help me achieve "my look".

7 days left!!! I'm getting really excited and nervous at the same time!!! Here are a few preop photos while we count down the days :)

Prescriptions filled, fridge stocked, house cleaned, essentials packed and ready for the big day!

I went in the OR at noon and before I knew it, I heard myself asking "when do we start?". My nurse told me "we're done sweetie" and smiled. So I glanced at the clock and saw that it was 12:39PM. Shortly after a few vital checks, I was dressed, took a percocet, given post op instructions then discharged smoothly. The sides and bottoms felt soft to the touch but the top of my breasts are as hard as a rock. I felt fine, no pain, just some chest pressure which felt like having mountains sitting on top of my chest.

Although still a bit groggy, we went to eat lunch. I was able to move my arms (can't raise them over my shoulders) and function as normal, just at a slower pace. Went home after that and lounged around for a few hours. The pain killer wore off around 4PM and OMG ouch this hurts! I tried baring it for as long as I could before giving in and taking another around 5:30PM.

Overall doing well so far today but I've been told the pain might be excruciating the 2nd and 3rd day. I hope that isn't the case but have prepared myself mentally for the worst just in case!
