Surgery Completed

WORTH IT$5,550
I am 37 years old. Mom of 2 and did not nurse. I am 5’9-5’10ish approx 128-132lbs and was a 36a/b depending on brand of bra. My surgery was Sept 6, 2018. I choose 590cc UHP silicon (mentor) and my doctor choose to do in-between the muscle. Idk what the term he used for it. I am searching for ‘like’ women on here for reassurance; I am concerned I went to big :// my skin is stretched to the max as this is the largest he said he could do. My biggest fear was waking up and regretting not going bigger. I wanted the biggest my body could proportionally handle!!! So far I am in love. They are HUGE. I’m badly bruised and my sternum is raised. I’m in a compression bra provided by my surgeon with strict instructions to wear 24/7 for two weeks along with the chest strap - for 2 weeks. I attached some pictures!

Wish boobs
Carmex18September 10, 2018
Wanted to post my wish boobies. I started searching for my perfect set 7 years ago and my taste has definitely changed. I was a lot more modest then than I am now. I want the fake look with the fullness D - DD’s give you. I don’t care ab wearing a bra as I will anyways bc braless isn’t my style or comfort.

I’m having mixed emotions over these ladies. One day I love them and have faith they are going to be ‘perfect’ and exactly what I wanted and then next day I feel like I made a huge mistake in the decision to go as big as I could. It takes serious guts to do what I did but my fear of boob envy or whatever it’s called (my husband pressured me a little in that bc he kept saying you better get this right the first time bc you’re not doing a revision just bc you want bigger) was greater than my fear of unforeseen issues bc of large implants. I also agreed with my husband as we have been saving forever for this procedure. So there wasn’t going to be another one. Too many of our close friends regretted not going bigger and are paying for another surgery. Sooooo I went BIG.
My Left is much bigger than my right - I have a rib that sticks out on my left side/cage which he prepared for knowing these were going to eventually drop below that rib and essentially be the same size as the other (no set of boobs are 100% I know that). And the raised (some call it tenting?) skin on my sternum is also a HUGE concern for me. But both my surgeon and research says it will go away with time and healing!!! I just naturally worry over everything. It’s my OCD. Anyways. Wanted to share my thought for today. And pics.

I can see that you still have a lot of swelling so naturally they look big. For the bruising, have you tried arnica gel and tablets? Also Bromelain can help too. Don’t get too hung up about the size right now because everything is still in the recovery phase and they will look different. Plus you will get used to the size! I think they look good and not too big!

April!!!!! Thank you for suggestions and advice. I didn’t even know there’s stuff out there for bruises, muscle pains and swelling. Wow. Kind of excited to get that stuff - I ordered it AMAZON! thanks for the support and words of encouragement! You know how this phase is - it’s a long process. And I have a loooooong ways to go.
