5'7" 140 Lbs, 12.5 BWD no kids 435 cc mod plus

I've been thinking about breast augmentation for some years now. All the girls in my family are pear shaped, with A cups. I'm excited for my upcoming surgery, but also scared about the recovery process..since I'm in graduate school and I'm having the surgery over our Fall break. My mom is flying in to help me for a week. I've never had a major surgery so I'm concerned about the recovery process. I initially thought I wanted 375 cc, but then decided on 435 cc because I liked the appearance of 450 cc on women my size. I was considering 485 cc but was afraid they would feel way too big for me!

Things are settling in fairly well. I'm generally concerned about my right side, because it's dropping slower due to how often I use my right hand/arm. I went to go get another bra besides the one the doctor gave me, and was measured as a 34DD at Victoria's Secrets. Although my current size fits my frame, I was hoping for a D. Hoping as swelling decreases, so will my size! Have odd aches and pains in my chest muscles from time to time, zinging feelings in my armpits (at the incision), and stinging in one my nipples (just started today). Sometimes my chest feels so tight, that I rub out my muscles immediately-going to the bathroom during class to do so. I assume all feelings are temporary and a part of the process. I had accidentally taken ibrophen before my surgery date, which my PS attributes to the bad bruising that I have. He said that I don't have a hematoma though. I went back to school today and wore a backpack. It felt a little strange/tight but not too concerning. I'm now off all medications except acetaminophen (going to take it for one more week) and vitamin E.

2 Weeks PO and feeling pretty good! I strained a part of my right pec muscle yesterday and now it hurts when I laugh. Underneath the right breast implant there are lots of lumps, some of them painful. I called my PS and am waiting for him to get back to me. After my post op appointment (which was the next day) I am not due to see him for a full month. Not sure if that is normal or not! The lower pole of my breast is slowly filling in but has a ways to go. Nipples are still super sore!
