A to a DD. 560CC. Under Muscle. Full Profile. 130lbs, 5'6.

I wish I would have posted before my surgery so I could share my nerves, questions, and the thoughts going through my mind at the time but since my consultation, the surgery, and my healing it just about complete I figured I would write a review about my experience since when I was looking for other peoples thoughts and ideas about the surgery it helped me so much. After my review ill post pictures that I took in order from the consult to the healing status, I am at now, hoping it helps someone! :)
I went to my consultation on June 30th. I was SO nervous. I started out with a very flat, deflated A cup... probably a AA. I have three children and breastfed all of them. My consult was very quick. I knew I wanted my boobs way bigger, D, DD, something around that size. I tried on the sizers and the 300ccs were too small for me. I tried on a 420CC implant and thought to myself...WOAH! I put the implant sizers in my sports bra that I wore to the appointment and after the DR showing me what I could look like with that size on the screen, we decided to go up a little to 415CC.
I made my appointment for July 20th. So I had a little less than a month to wait for the big day. During the time I was waiting for my surgery I started having second guesses on my size. I have had so many friends say they wish they would have gone bigger and this is what I was afraid of. I contacted my Drs office and told them I wanted to see different sizes. I was on this website it seemed like every day looking through photos and reading people's opinions on the sizes they got. After looking through my new "what I could look like pictures" that my Drs office put on my MYTOUCH account. I started leaning towards 450CC and even looked at the 485CC. I had a few friends tell me that those sizes would be HUGE on me and that I would hate it. Deep down I did want my boobs that big but was changing my mind slowly from the advice of a few friends.
My breast augmentation surgery was scheduled for 1:30. I checked in at about 1 pm. I wasn't allowed to eat or drink past a certain time but I have had three c sections so I knew that was coming and didn't mind that part. I go into my appointment and meet with a nurse who gives me new underwear, socks, a cover, and a hat to put on (I even have a picture of that too lol). We go over everything that is or could happen and I am signing away. My DR comes into my room to draw on my chest. While talking to him I told him I wanted to change CCs again. He told me not to get too caught up in the CC number. Before your surgery, you will be looking for "goal photos". What do you want to look like at the end of all this? The size, the shape, and my pictures were pretty much all the same look. Perky...round...big... basically.
It's surgery time and sure enough, my nerves come flooding out of me and I am starting to cry on the table. It was a lot of emotions at this time. I was scared, I was so excited because I have been flat chested my entire life and I couldn't believe this was finally happening. My Dr, Dr. Hughes, and his staff were amazing. They comforted me, they made me feel better, and I knew I was in good hands with them.
The funny part is that when I woke up... the first thing I asked (that I remember) is "how many CCs did you get in" haha. When she replied "We put in 560CC" I passed right back out, I was happy lol
Recovery :
this was the worst part for me. I have had other friends have the same surgery and their experience didn't seem as harsh as mine but this was no walk in the park. I left the surgery center at 4ish and I don't remember much after that. I do remember not being able to even open my eyes until I got home, I just could not wake up. I took my pills and passed out. The first 5 days were absolute hell for me. My chest was so swollen, which I knew would happen. I had bags of ice on top and on the sides just to help with some of the pain. I stayed on top of my pain pills but just one was not working. My DR called me the night of the surgery. Asked how I was doing and let me know I could take 2 pills instead of 1 and that helped a little more but then I added Tylenol into my schedule as well to try and get rid of some of the pain I was enduring.
Getting up was a pain in the ass well. The first few days my husband and my oldest daughter would put their hand under my butt and push me up as I held their hand. This was the only way I was getting out of my bed because my bed is so low to the ground. A few days later I would kind of roll to get out of bed but this hurt until a few weeks after the surgery.
Sitting up while sleeping was HORRIBLE. I had a few pillows behind me and one of those "husband pillows" where there are sides to it and it allows you to be tilted upwards. I had an airplane pillow around my neck. I just could not get comfortable, it was horrible. This was the worst part for me. I am a side sleeper and just wanted to sleep on my dang side!! But doing this hurt so bad. Even just slightly turning my body was a pain.
I am now about 7 weeks post-op and I finally feel good. I really started feeling much better after my 5 days. I didn't have too much swelling. Not much bruising. It was just a lot for my body to get used to. Even though my implants were 560CC I am now a DD. I am so thankful my DR went with what I wanted my pictures to look like because my breast augmentation is exactly what I wanted. This is why the pictures you find are so important. I am so very thankful I didn't listen to anyone about what I should do. If I would have gone with a smaller implant it wouldn't have been what I wanted and I would have been super disappointed. So do whatever makes you happy! If you want big ol' boobies, get them! In my opinion, I rather get a little "too big" than too small.

I’m updating with my pictures since I couldn’t post them in my first post.
