51 and Tired of Wearing Padded Bras - Bozeman, MT

As I said in my first entry; I've lived for 51 years bothered by my body's shortcomings. After making the first appointment with my PS, it suddenly dawned on me: I could make change happen. I took photos but I was ashamed by my own body, so I didn't post them. Skip up to my fifth month post op. I couldn't be more pleasantly surprised by my self approval. My breasts finally shadow my ski-jump ribs; I'm proportionate. I still feel vain about my choice now and then, but I'm very grateful that I had the support of my wonderful husband and the skill and experience of my surgeon.

I love my new breasts! After my second week post-op check my PS suggested that my new bra cup size would likely be a C, I went shopping! The helpful associate at Victoria's secret measured me as a 34-D! My new breasts are by no means huge, but it underlines something I've picked up on as I read the reviews of others: A C or D-cup are totally different on different bodies. I happily accepted my PS's choice on what size implant would be appropriate for my frame, and my motivation for the surgery to begin with. I've read countless reviews by women who seem to go to the doctor with a specific CC amount, as if they have any clue how much or little breast tissue they already have. I have 320s on each side, and they fit my 5'4", 125 lb frame perfectly. I'm very happy, and glad that I chose to find a board certified doc within a half hour's drive. Like so many women who are satisfied with the results of their procedures, I'm thinking about another couple of options: lipo on my chin, and my tummy pouch!

Hello friends,
I intended to write an update on my 11/15/13 BA after surgery, but because I was so loopy afterwards, I put off until the following day. I was still feeling goofy yesterday, so
here goes, my breasts are like stone currently, but on a scale of 1 to 10, it's about a 3. I didn't take into consideration that upper arms would be sore until I realized they were likely put out of the way for the one hour procedure. I'm wearing a size large sports bra, and all I want to do now is to pop the sucker off me.
The first night following the surgery, I slept fitfully because I couldn't get at all comfortable in my bed. I resorted to big club chair in the living room, and that helped me fall asleep. Another thing I hadn't anticipated is being so constipated because I'd started drinking tons of water in advance. I checked drugs.com this afternoon and saw that both medications can lead to dry mouth, as well as constipation. Lucky me. By the way, I can't believe how impressive my additions look so damn good! More later!
Cheers to all who have summoned the courage and saved the money for the procedure.
