Extra HP Silicone 445 Cc, 23 Years Old, 5'2 and 95 Lbs

Hi! I had consultations with 3 other doctors before I found Dr. Nguyen. He had the best pre vs post-op pictures by far and was much more knowledgeable. I love that he's very transparent and up to date with his work through social media. He asked me questions the other doctors didn't ask me and pointed out things about my body that I never noticed and other doctors didn't either. He's very calm, humble, and professional. I put down my deposit right after my consultation and I really appreciate that he was able to squeeze me in an earlier date because I'm starting nursing school! I felt very confident in his skills and I'm SO glad I chose him to do my procedure.I'm 5'2, 23 years old, never had kids, and about 95/96 lbs. I was a 32A at Victoria's Secret before my BA and I got submuscular extra high profile silicone implants through inframammary incisions. My right breast is smaller than my left so I went with 445 cc on my right and 420 cc on my left. I liked the look of 400 cc in my right and 375 cc in my left, but I wanted to account for muscle compression and Dr. Nguyen pointed out that my chest is concave. He suggested a bit more volume if I wanted more projection to make up for that. 455 cc was the largest volume I could get due to my narrow chest. I have not had the chance to take a look at my breasts yet without the gauze and bra, but they don't feel too heavy or look too large. I haven't seen any bleeding either. My breasts are definitely torpedo-shaped right now and the top of my implants are right under my collarbones lol! I was slightly afraid of being too top-heavy, however, I knew I would be more upset if I ended up smaller than I wanted. Now I'm very happy with the size I picked. I'm glad I didn't back out and ask for a smaller size because I definitely would've been disappointed. I hope after dropping and fluffing I will be a small D cup to DD at most. My goal is an hourglass body shape and nice cleavage without the top of my breasts looking too round. Dr. Nguyen pointed out that my pectoral muscles are quite large for someone my size (likely due to me weightlifting for a few years). I hope that helps cover up the top roundness of my implants. I used to be a lot skinner/underweight (85 lbs) and the only way I was able to put on weight was by doing heavy weightlifting. So far my cleavage looks perfect! Not too close or too far apart. Overall it was a great experience. I got extremely nervous once I was in the operating room. I've been wanting to do this procedure since high school and I was like wow it's really happening! I've been waiting for this for so long, now it is about to happen! My breasts were always major insecurity of mine. There were so many cute clothes I wanted to wear, but couldn't fill out. My small breasts also made my torso appear longer than it actually is. I had my BA at 4 pm yesterday and I feel great! Pain has been tolerable and my family has been great at helping me. The pain is nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be. The staff was so nice and made me feel really comfortable. I was super nervous because this was my first surgery and I was afraid of the pain afterward. Honestly, putting in the IV hurt the most in this whole process. I took a Norco and an extra-strength Tylenol for the pain as recommended by my nurse after I woke up around 5:15 pm. I felt no pain after! There was some pain if I accidentally stretched out my arms too far so I'm trying to be more careful about that. My incisions were a bit sore too. I started having muscle contracts that felt like sharp pinches around 8:30 pm. My nurse had suggested I take a valium at 8:00 pm, but I forgot to do it on time. It made the contractions go away quickly after I did take it. My right arm movement is much more limited than my and I feel more tightness on this side compared to my left. It was hard to sleep last night sitting up. The angle put a lot of strain on my lower back. I'm going to get a travel pillow today to help my neck and I think I figured out a better way to position my pillows to help relieve my back. This morning when my pain medication wore off I felt more tightness and soreness around my incisions than yesterday, but it was still tolerable. I can move my arms around a lot more today and carry slightly heavier things like my laptop. I'm still trying not to use my arms too much and I've been slouching forward due to the tightness. If I do straighten out my back, I feel more pain in my incisions. My post-op appointment is Monday afternoon. I cant wait to see my breasts and take my first shower after! Luckily I took a shower the morning before I checked into the surgical center. I will update with before and after pics soon!

I haven't had any pain around my incisions today! They get a little sore when I sit up, however that goes away quickly. The last painkiller I took was one extra strength tylenol last night before going to sleep. I still feel a lot of tightness, itchiness, and pressure. I can move my arms more today, but I still have some trouble reaching in certain angles. I do have nipple sensation meanwhile the rest of my breasts are numb. I took a shower and the only bruising I noticed was in my cleavage.

Positives:
More arm movement so I showered by myself, no more pain/pressure in my left breast, and slowly getting softer/rounder. I still love my size! I have the hourglass body shape I was looking for. For reference my measurements are 31 (underbust) 23 33 inches. I haven't measured my bust. I know it will likely get a little smaller after all my swelling goes down and I am fine with that too. I think with my new curves I look less underweight than before (I have a low BMI, but I'm healthy! I have a small frame). Bruising in my cleavage is almost gone and I've noticed that its more narrow. I think it's just my breasts projecting more as my skin stretches out. My breast sizes are pretty even now! My left is still slightly bigger, but it's enough of an improvement that bras should fit both sides better now :) Sensation in breasts is slowing returning.
Not so positive:
My right breast gets sore here and there (was smaller and got a larger implant). My implants are sooo high and square! Its weird seeing it on myself even though I saw other pics of other women before dropping and fluffing. Both my nipples point downward. I think my left breast is dropping and fluffing a little faster. It is a bit softer than my right breast and my nipple is not pointing as low. Dr. Nguyen said he will be teaching me how to massage them at my appointment on Monday. I'm still sleeping sitting up with hopes that gravity will help me out. There is some pretty dark bruising on the outer sides of my incisions. It doesn't hurt when I touch those areas so I'm not worried about it. I had some bruises below my incisions too that have faded and are almost gone now. My nipples and areolae have been dry lately. I noticed some skin peeling so I'm applying shea butter once a day and its helping a lot!
Btw I have Sientra HSC smooth round extra high profile!
