WORTH IT
It’s the day before my scheduled BA surgery with nipple inversion correction and I’ve chosen to go with Allergan Natrelle Soft Touch implants in a Moderate profile. I am going for a more natural appearance, with some extra fluff in my upper pole. I run and work out a lot and don’t want them to be too cumbersome. When i went for my pre-op appointment, I still thought the sizes I picked looked big, but my surgeon said that if I thought they were big with them in my bra, then they’ll likely be the perfect size, as they’ll look smaller once they’re under the muscle.
These are my measurements and details:
5’6”
135 lbs
Athletic build
Small 34C in VS bras
BWD 13.5
SSM-360 on left
SSM-375 on right
IMF incision
Under the muscle

I'm so glad you decided to start your review! How are you feeling after surgery?
March 13, 2019
Feeling pretty good, all things considered! There’s some discomfort, but that’s to be expected. I wouldn’t consider myself “painful.” The post-op meds have made a world of difference, IMO, and I’m taking them religiously on the dot. Thank you for asking!

Surgery Day!

lizzylopes
Today was surgery day! I was the first surgery of the morning, so I was in and out, bright and early. Post-op was a little difficult to breathe with all the wraps and the fact that the implants were under the muscle. I was so thirsty in recovery that I thought I could drink 2 cups of water, but they wound up making me quiet nauseous. The nurse administered Zofran in my IV and I felt instantly better. A word to the wise... let your anesthesiologists know if you typically get nauseous post-op. They have things to help you! I was pretty sleepy all day. I purchased these foam wedges from Amazon to help me sleep on my back at a 45° angle (I’m a side sleeper, so I needed all the help I could get). They’re worth every cent! Highly recommend! I was sent home with muscle relaxers, which have helped a tremendously with the muscle spasms in my chest. Having a good “nurse” or helper has been imperative, to help lift off the couch without using my arms (I feel like a little t-Rex). All things considered, I’ve been fairly comfortable all day, due to maintaining my medication schedule to a T. Even if you think you don’t need the meds, TAKE THEM. The Oxycodone for pain, the Valium for the muscle spasms, antibiotic to fight any infection, and the anti-inflammatories to keep swelling down so you can heal properly are all imperative to recovery! I started taking Miralax, just to get ahead of the constipation from the Oxycodone. Both my surgeon and PA were complimentary on the feel and look of these implants and how natural they look in my breasts, which is exactly what i was going for. I didn’t want them too big, as I workout a lot and I’m a runner.
I wound up with the following:
Allergan Natrelle Soft Touch Moderate Profile Silicone Implants
SSM-360 in the left breast
SSM-375 in the right breast
Bilateral inverted nipple correction
IMF incision
Subpectoral
So far, so good! Post-op appointment is on Thursday, more updates then!

You’re going to look great!! I was also a full B, small C prior to surgery (today!) and just got Motiva demi 300cc (sort of like a mod+ profile), over the muscle. How are you feeling? I stayed in th hospital for most of the day and just got home a few hours ago. Really just drifted in and out of sleep the whole time bc the pains meds made me so drowsy!

Thank you! And Yes! I slept most of the first day, as well! Sleep is so important! Surprisingly, I feel completely fine. On a scale of 1-10 pain scale, I’m at a 2-3. I’m pretty comfortable on POD 1, with no pain and minimal discomfort. I’ve been keeping up a pretty consistent and timely medication regimen, spacing out and staggering my meds, eating a lot of protein, and drinking a ton of water. Keep up with the meds, because if the pain starts to set in, it’s going to be hard to catch up to become comfortable again. Good luck and can’t wait to see your progress!

Oh that’s great to hear, me too! So glad youre doing well. The meds make me a little sleepy but that’s okay, I think our bodies need it after that. It’s so funny, I wasn’t really even that nervous before surgery. All I remember is the anesthesiologist explaining something and then.. nap time lol! Good luck on your progress too! I’ll post some of my pics either today or tomorrow :)

Samesies, girl! So happy to hear you’re feeling good!
