Wanted a BA for several years now, finally happened!

I'm currently 26 years old and have been wanting a breast augmentation since I was about 18. I have no kids and I'm 5'2" and currently 107 pounds. I definitely want to go noticeably bigger, but not so much so that it looks obnoxious on my size frame.

I’m now at 1 month post op so wanted to share some photos of my journey. I started at probably a 32A but rarely wore anything but sports bras and other bras I had never fit the best. I had a recommendation from a friend who had a BA and she had nothing but good things to say about him to I went to Dr. Quinn at Quinn Plastic Surgery in Overland Park Kansas.
My boyfriend came with me to all my visits and I think having someone with you is a really good thing to have, just to have another set of eyes that know you and have an idea of what you want in your head.
My first visit was just initial stuff about the procedure and he took measurements and we put a deposit down. I also tried on the sizer with the different size implants to get an idea of what I liked. I started a little lower for sure liking the 350 on me and possibly the 400cc.
The pre-op visit was basically just choosing my size for sure. I ended up being comfortable with the 400cc size and then decided to go up from there to 450. I got to try them on with several shirts and clothes of mine so I got more comfortable with the fact that they didn’t look obnoxious and I wouldn’t be busting out of my clothes in a bad way.

I’ve had 2 major knee surgeries before this so I knew what pain felt like post op but I think I had an extremely bad experience at managing pain wise. Immediate after surgery I was in such pain it felt hard to breathe. The nurse ended up giving me 2 extra doses of fentanyl just in recovery and it barely touched the pain, which was super surprising. Once I got home the pain was almost unbearable and my pain meds again barely decreased pain. As for the pain meds not working I think it might have been because they were mixed with Tylenol which has never helped me manage pain before at all.
I felt super tight and uncomfortable (as almost everyone is) after surgery. Honestly the worst part was that my pain was not at a manageable level for a little over a week after surgery. According to most other reviews on here it seems like this isn’t the case for most women so I’m not sure why I was an anomaly so don’t let that scare you away.
