Yesterday 2/12/2016 I went in for my BA. I was a 34 A. I decided to go to 425cc saline implants. I feel great honestly, not have to take any pain meds only the muscle relaxors. Pain meds and I don't get a long. My surgeon was Dr. Schafer at Hedden Plastic Surgery in Bham. They were fantastic! I know,that my BA will ride very high, but I have almost no fullness on the bottom. Is this normal? Since I just got yesterday, can he place more saline into the capsule in a couple of hours at post op. I really wanted to be a large C or small D cup.

Congrats on the new additions. I think they look similar to a lot of women. Riding high in the beginning and eventually drop into place. It's just hard to be patient. Mine didn't start too high but I got smaller so maybe they makes a difference. Happy healing!

I'm planning to have my surgery in about three weeks. Something that my PS mentioned was that the implants will look really high the first days. I'm really nervous about the whole process. Please keep in touch.
You look great!

Honestly there is really no pain with the BA. I'm only taking the muscle relaxes and Tylenol. Don't be nervous.

It doesn't do anything but make you a ball of nerves. Even though mine haven't settled yet, I wish I would have done it 20 yrs ago.

That was so sweet to say. Can't wait to see everyone's pictures when you get yours done.

Hello! Just curious. How much more do you think you would want added? My surgery is next month and I told my PS that I wanted a D cup and he said he mentioned around 500 cc's. That scared me a little bit but he said it's not as much as it sounds. Still trying to find the "perfect" wish pictures.

I was a 34 A . A very small A. They won't tell you what size to get or say a certain cup size
It's all about the number of CC's. At first I wanted 350cc but then decided to go to 400cc. At time of surgery I went up again to 425cc. My breast are still not settled but the will most likely be a very FULL c Cup or d cup. I wore rice in panty hose for a couple of weeks trying different amounts. If I could make the decision again 400cc would be my max. I'm 5ft 3 inches tall and 125lbs. What size are you currently in now?

There isn't a perfect pic. Put some rice in panty hose and go try on a dress that you ha email always loved then look in the mirror. I started crying I was so overcome with joy. That is your perfect picture.

450cc is max. Sorry can't text tonight

Thanks for the advice! You are SO right...there is not perfect picture. I think I saw a video on here about the rice sizers. I will try that to get a general idea and go from there. I am 5'6" and 165lbs.

500 CC's sound about right. A friend has 500cc but her chest is huge. She I'd on a tiny little 105lb frame. Think it depends on the size of the person who is getting them.

Woke up and was a little sore. I didn't have to sleep sitting up like I've heard so many people had told me. Curled right up and went to sleep. Post-op went perfect. Going back UN two weeks. Still concerned that I don't have any bottom fullness, but will just have to wait.

I am fully extend my arms over my head and not thinking going to die. Leaning side to side is a bit more difficult. When I woke up today I did notice a burning sensation I'd both of my breasts. Is this normal? Also here are some updated photos. Still don't really have any fullness on the bottom. Would this be something that should be covered by my insurance plan?Just want to go cover my scars.

I am week 4 post op and still experience burning in both breasts. From what I understand and have been told, this can last for up to 3 months.
