Heyy I'm 20 years old and got my breast implants on the 4th of july
I went from a flat chested 32A to a.. I don't know yet .. My surgeon could only insert 260cc anatomic implants because my muscle is too small
But I'm happy with my result (super naturel! And I can't imagine myself with bigger breasts)
However it's 4am and Im actually crying in my bed right now
I didn't have any complications
But I'm having a really hard recovery
I can't move easily, I can't sleep properly, i have extreme back pains, dhiarrea, nausea..not to mention sharp pains on my left breast and the feeling that I have a bowling ball on my chest the whole time
It's been 9 horrible days for me
I think i'm starting to regret having the surgery, maybe I'm too young for it, like my mum said (she was and still against it)
I just can't imagine myself getting back to normal, doing everything by myself, going out, not being paranoid about my new breats
Plus my collage starts on the 7th of september, and I have my close cousin's wedding on the 11th
Will i be normal by then?
Will i be able to go to collage like a normal person? Carry my stuff, walk around without looking like a robot because of my back pains
Will i be able to wear a dress and heels and go have fun at the wedding ??
I really hope to hear all about your experiences.. Did you guys feel the same way? (I hope not!!) When did you feel like you were back to normal again ??

Hi Alexam, I'm on my 11th day. And yes all the physical feeling you having I feel.. make sure to keep on top of you pain killers it helps you getting mobile. By September you definitely be close to 6 weeks mark, and without seeing pictures of you or how well your incision is healing, by then I was told by my post op nurse that I should start feeling more back to my same routine. Have you got a carer. I know you mentioned your mom is against it, but is she still physically supporting you? Just remember we all had our reasons why we wanted aBA in first place so just keep thinking that good reason why and stop second guessing your decision. Take care!

Exactly, every time I feel a little down, I think about the reason why I did it and look forward to recovering , going bra shopping, and enjoy my new boobs!
My mum was very supportive and caring eventhough she's against it
It's just that her being against it, made me wonder if I was wrong doing this an early age.. But now I know that I made the right decision
Take care! And stay happy

Hi alexa, sorry to hear what you're going through. Have you called your doctor and tell them about you're cramping. I was feeling the same way and they changed my meds and it worked so much better. As far as the back pain try heating pads those have been working for me. I'm sure it'll get better and you'll look great at your cousins wedding :). I'm 27 married with 3 Kids and my mom is still against my decision, she'll get over it. My husband is in prison so I totally understand on you being alone through this.. my cousin was helping for the first four days but is gone now, it'll be ok... however you have us at this site to vent too :) ... just remember why you made the decision. :)
August 21, 2015
I'm so sorry about your husband and your mum and family not being there
I admire you for your courage, having responsabilities, work and 3 kids.. I feel so stupid to even complain about my condition!
Hope you feel better day by day
This website is very helpful it makes you know that you're not alone
No one will understand what we're all going through here
Stay happy and positive ! Xx

And you're 100% right: ALWAYS REMEMBER WHY YOU MADE YOUR DECISION.. This should be enough to feel better
Thank you!
Thank you!

Oh no. I'm so sorry you aren't feeling well. I would definitely call your doctor and see if you can switch some meds up. Heat/ice on the back and as much stretching as you can do will hopefully help. You didn't go to big but I'm sure your body is just fighting the implants. Hang in there and try to get some answers from your doctor. Have you tried arnica Montana (homeopathic) or bromelian (tissue repair). I'm also taking a natural anti swelling medication too. Make sure you are taking your vitamins and getting plenty of nutrients to help your body recover as quickly as possible. If you need anything please reach out to the community and hoepful we can provide as much help as possible. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers over the next couple of weeks as well.
August 21, 2015
Thank you so much for your kind thoughts and prayers I'm very touched
Hope you're doing well too!
The Vitamin thing is a good idea! will take more care of my diet to keep it healthy for a better recovery
Hugs xx

Hi Alexam44,
I'm so sorry to hear that you are having such a difficult time. Are you sleeping upright at night or lying on your back? I'm 5 days post-op and still choose to sleep upright on my sofa, which has been very beneficial. Maybe you can call your ps and ask for a prescription for a muscle relaxer & try 800mg Ibuprofen, as well as icing your breasts throughout the day. I know it's difficult to have positive thoughts when you are feeling down, but try to think of things that make you feel happy. I'm sure that you will soon feel that you made the right decision by getting your BA...you're just going through a rough spot right now and we all have them. If you feel up to it, please post pics of your progress for us to see, because I bet things a looking great. I will say a prayer for you and I hope that you feel better soon!

Sleeping upright also caused me back pains so since I got back massages I started sleeping on my back
I bought a brand new Reva pillow and found the perfect position
Thank you for your concern and your prayer.. I'm very touched
Hope you're feeling well too
Stay HAPPY xx

Getting better day by day
LoveyourselfirstAugust 21, 2015
Woaww.. Your kind replies were so helpful .. You guys are so nice, caring, supportive.. I feel like I've known each one of you my whole life
I really don't know what to say, you made my days, everyday with your cheerfull comments
And the fact that you understand what I'm going through made it so much easier for me
I would like to update you, and for those who recently had surgery and felt the same way as I did, I hope this post will encourage you..
But before I start I would like to make one thing clear: it's true that my mom is against my surgery and made me feel bad about it because she thinks that I could live with my flat chest, she is sooo supportive physically and mentally but in an objective way. She helps with EVERYTHING (showering, eating, getting dressed, waking up at night, even whiping my ass when I got my period post my surgery) she's truly amazing
Since i read your posts, I decided to live day by day without worrying about college nor the wedding
First of all I decided to get a BACK MASSAGE, because my back pains were preventing me from sleeping and waking properly
So I called a therapist (she'e a family friend) and she gave me two back massage sessions using just her hands and baby oil
After the first session, I slept on my back for 4 hours straight with less back pains
After the 2nd session, I slept 9 hours straight without any pain
And after this perfect night, I woke up a different person.. In a better mood.. HAPPIER
And I could actually walk better.. So my boyfriend decided to take me out for dinner.. I felt really uncomfortble and finished my dinner really fast so I can go home and rest on my favorite couch
Few days later, he took me out again, and this time it was better
And the day after I went to the mall with my parents
After 2 hours I started having severe back pains (it was the first time that I walk that much after my surgery) .. So we went home
But again, I was HAPPIER, and that's all that matters
Yesterday I won two free seated tickets to Enrique Iglesias's concert.. How could I say no to that?? I had to go on an 2h30 hour trip to ehden (lebanese region far from the capital where I live)
And yes roadtri

**I posted the review without finishing it by mistake
So as I was saying It was a 2h30 roadtrip to get to the concert venue
And you all know how frustrating are roadtrips with new heavy boobs on your chests.. But it was totally worth it!!
The concert was soo amazing that I found myself standing and dancing! I forgot about my pain for a while until I felt it on the way back home
But again, I WAS SOOO HAPPY AND IT WAS SO WORTH IT
Anyway, I'm going out for lunch today with my best frienf at my favorite restaurant
I still feel pain, I still have two bowling balls on my chest, I still can't do every single thing by myself, I still move a little bit weirdly.. But I learned over these two weeks to deal with it, to stay positive, and most of all to be HAPPY
I wanted to turn this review into a "diarie" about my "journey" and not my recovery
I was depressed, and I spent the first few days crying, regretting, blaming myself, feeling like I ruined my body .. So I know how hard and emotional it was
And for every single woman who felt the same way, I want to show you that it does get better, you just have to find the right ways to make yourself comfortbale, and the right persons to surround yourself with, including this amazing website!
Challenge yourself, make a new step into recovering every day
And look up for the day when you will remove your medical bra and show off your new beautiful breasts !
I thank you all, and I wish you all the best
Will keep you updated, and i hope you do the same xx

Thanks for your update. I'm so glad you're out there living and healing. I got my mood funk yesterday. I was one of your supporters, BTW. I had my surgery 2 weeks ago. I cried over everything yesterday and had awful feelings about being alone and nobody caring. It's crummy but I know that happens to me after I have surgery usually at some point. Today has to be a better day. I hope you're loving your new look.
August 21, 2015
Don't cryyy, stay happy and positive like you told me to! I know how hard it is for you at your age with all your responsabilities, your work, your kids! I admire you for your courage and positive vibes.. Keep it that way! Like you said: bad feelings pass!
I'm loving my new breats! I can't wait to go shopping
How about you?? Stay in touch
You're not alone xx hugs

Today I got back to the gym. I had to drag my kid with me but i had to get my workouts going again. I get a lot of anxious energy if i dont work out every day. For the last three weeks due to packing and being with the move, getting plenty of activity postop just caring for our house and not having anyone to watch my son, my daily workouts halted. I did the bike gor 30 minutes and the elliptical for 30 minutes. It felt amazing. Thats what was missing. As for the boobs, im so gkad you're happy with them! I wanted a D and after surgery wanted bigger but as they settle, im pretty sure im getting DDs here. My bikini top in my photos is too small now but i can tie it to make it work. Im busting out of my 36 D bra. Being tall and having hips, adding the boobs has definitely made me feel more confident. Boobs, hips, flat tummy, uh yes please!!!
So sorry to hear you're having a rough recovery. Ideally, you should slowly start to get a little better with each passing day now. I'm confident you'll be good by early September so don't stress too much. We would love to see any pictures you're comfortable sharing...even fully clothed is fine too! Hang in there and I'll send some support to your review soon. Please keep us updated!
