Modest Augmentation 210cc Moderate Profile Dual Plane Placement

Like many of the ladies who have reviewed on here I found this site very helpful when making decisions re size and placement of implants but also with expectations of what the surgery and recovery would be like also. So I decided to do my own review, particularly as there weren’t a huge number of reviews with smaller implants.
I’ve just turned 45. Have 2 children and breast fed both for 2 years each. I am tallish - 172cm slim and athletic -52kg.
I’ve never had large breasts, not even when pregnant or breast feeding. The upside of which means I’ve defied gravity ( for my age in the words of my surgeon ) but have very little to fill a bra or bikini.
When I met my surgeon for the first time I couldn’t stress enough how much I didn’t want large breasts but just a subtle enhancement to make me feel more feminine.
I chose my surgeon because I had a couple of friends with similar physique to me who had their enhancement with them. Personal recommendation was more important to me than locality or price.
My surgeon suggested two options to achieve the look I was after:-
Round moderate implants over the muscle or
Anatomical ( teardrop ) implants dual plane. Between 180cc -210cc.
I opted for round implants as although the risk of the anatomical implants flipping is minimal, I am a runner and was worried I would be that small percent of people that it happens to due to activity!
I’ve included some before photos and will hopefully be able to continue my update.

It was an early start for me as the hospital is a 5 hour drive from home. Hubby and I had decided (after much deliberation) that I would drive myself on the morning of surgery as my admission time was 11am and he would get the train the following day and drive me home. This meant life at home with children and dogs etc could carry on as normal as possible.
I left home at 5am. I was allowed to eat until 7.30am so had taken a flask and something to eat on the way.
I arrived early ( a miracle for me ) and was shown to my room. The Nurses admitted me and told me I was expected to go to theatre around 4.30pm so I could drink water until 2.15pm and have a shower ( with a anti bacterial sponge they gave me ) and get ready about an hour before hand.
I knew I would get a headache, as I always do if I don’t eat every few hours and sure enough I did.
I met the anaesthetist who allowed me to take some paracetamol pre operatively and then my surgeon came for a chat and to ‘mark’ me up.
We discussed sizing as I hadn’t settled on a final size. I was happy that he would make the final choice in theatre as to what he thought was best. The original plan was to have over the muscle placement but as I had lost around 5kg since my original consultation we agreed that that might not be the best choice anymore and again I left it to him to make the decision.
I was desperate to get to theatre just so I could go to sleep and get rid of my banging headache. I’d warned the anaesthetist that I’ve suffered with nausea in the past post GA and he promised to load me up with anti emetics.
It was all very straight forward and stress free.

I woke from surgery back in my room around 8pm with fairly severe pain to my right side ( round my ribs and back ). The nursing staff were quick to get me some pain relief ( Oramorph) and within 15 minutes it was gone and to be honest I haven’t really had any other pain since just some discomfort.
I had something to eat and then caught up with some Netflix in between dozing.
I felt fine when I got up to use the bathroom and clean my teeth and was pleased to see that my new boobs were not up by my chin!
