I have always felt like I have a boyish body and decided on Ideal breast implants

Ideal breast implants

WORTH IT
I have always felt like I have a boyish body... and finally decided after research the ideal breast implant, that now there seems an implant that would be ideal for me. I am 36, 136lb, 5ft 4in, 36a/36aa and have two kiddos that I breastfed. Goal for procedure is to go
Today was the day of the procedure at 8am. I have to say so far so good, it is not as painful as I anticipated -but I am one that prepares for the worse and is happy when it turns out better. I am not too swollen, I have taken arnicare which might have helped that. Pain wise, it’s like the feeling of being in gorged when you quit BF, and some on squeezing your rib case (tight hug?) really hard while you breath.
So far Dr. Zimmerman has been amazing! A very genuine down to earth person. He joked with you while making you feel very informed and comfortable. There are no stupid question or “the look or rush/my time is more valuable than yours”. He is very patient, I suffer from anxiety so you can only imagine my interrogations and possible repeat of questions lol. The surgery was performed IV sedation with local, which has been amazing, I don’t feel crazy high or nauseous like what happens sometime with general.

Update day 3

Showered today and finally got a peek. I think they are healing very nicely, the most unexpected part of my healing has been the pain in my sternum, but that is subsiding. My goal was/is a “c” cup. I am hoping to really taper down drugs tomorrow as I hate the feeling of being high even if it’s helping heal me. Life savers have been a back scratcher, ice packs and a recliner chair! And yes I am very bloated, ???? boo. The incision as you can see was Peri-Areolar, so far happy with my decision.
