I've always been fairly self conscious of my chest size. At 5'7", I'm not exactly petite and I always just felt out of proportion. I liked the shape of my natural breasts, but I've always been self conscious to go braless or to wear special tops that go with strapless bras. Not to mention now that I'm in my 30s and should probably start shopping in women's clothing instead of junior's, none of my tops ever fit right. They're just bags on me.
I was undecided on implant size. I like to be fairly modest, but I know that "most" women who have had a BA say they wish they went larger. Keeping that in mind, I originally decided on 435cc/305cc silicone implants. I have almost a full cup size in asymmetry between my breasts (left side is A and right side is almost B). The doctor told me these size implants should land me somewhere between large C and small D.
Had my surgery on September 8. But in surgery, the doctor said the 435cc implant was too big of a difference from the other implant, so she went down to 385cc on the left side.
Surgery of course went by in a flash. But I was in quite a bit of pain waking up from surgery. The nurse gave me something while I was coming out of anesthesia and said "you should be feeling pretty good right now", but my pain had only gone from about a 7 to a 6, and it was rising again.
Since my surgery was scheduled for 7:00am, I was finished before the pharmacy was even open, so I had to wait while my caregiver picked up my Rx. Finally I was able to be picked up, but I couldn't take the pain meds on an empty stomach, we didn't have any food with us, and it was an hour drive from the clinic to my house. My caregiver picked up some crackers from the gas station, but I couldn't feed myself (unable to move arms), and caregiver felt it was best to just get us home ASAP. So I closed my eyes and did deep breathing to try to manage pain. It felt like all my muscles in my torso, neck, and arms were cramping up. It was truly awful and much worse than I imagined the pain would be after surgery. The rest of surgery day was spent just trying to get pain under control, and my caregiver bringing me meds/liquids/food.
