Pain is minimal, incision site is tender, otherwise feeling great. It appears I may have a slight "snoopy nose" deformity but I plan on asking my surgeon at my next appointment if it's true. I've read that it appears so early after surgery but goes away once the implants drop.

Sore, mainly in the center of my chest (sternum) and sides (underneath armpit area). My surgeon called me to check on how I felt and said the areas I feel tender is normal. I have no worries, except that I hadn't considered until now that many of my tops will no longer fit me. Oh well :-)

Glad to hear your recovery is going well. What size were you aiming for? Do you think you will go up a dress size on the top?
Hi harlequin00! I was aiming for a full c/small d. I haven't gone out bra shopping yet, but they look close to what I had wanted. As far as dress sizing, I could remain in the same size I wear now but it would be very tight in the bust area. My overall goal wasn't to draw attention to my breasts so I may buy larger or looser cuts to help me have a more balanced look.

I had small but beautiful and perky breasts before...
I had small but beautiful and perky breasts before I became a mom. With each pregnancy and breastfeeding, the "gals" were left looking saggy and deflated to the point that I hated the way I looked. I had considered BA for quite a while, and it wasn't until I broached the subject with my husband that I made an appointment for a consultation. My husband was very supportive and encouraged me to do what I need to do to feel sexy again.
So I have a friend who had the procedure done, and she shared the name of her doctor with me. Everyone on realself encourages multiple consults by different doctors and I completely agree, but I honestly went to only one doctor mainly because I actually have another friend who had the same procedure/doctor. I guess seeing how awesome they both friends looked, I just put my trust in this surgeon and went with it.
During consult, the doctor explained that to get the best results, I should have a breast lift and augumentation. Against his advise, I declined the breast lift due to increased cost/recovery and scars. I explained that I'm not after perfection, I'm OK with a more natural looking result. After this and looking at pictures on his 3d imaging screen, the surgeon recommended I go with Natrelle style 410, high profile, highly cohesive textured, size 375cc. He said he had a technique that he used to give the illusion of a breast lift (dual plane) that will give me a natural looking result that he felt I'd be happy with.
I had the surgery a few days ago, and so far I feel great (a bit sore). I will continue to post pics along the healing journey!!!
