I am currently 4 days post op. This is something I wanted so badly, it basically consumed me for the last 4 months. I couldn't wait to get this augmentation. My post op experience is a lot worse than I expected. The first 2 days were awful. I was in a lot of pain, I could barely move, and I was confined to my bed. I am now very mobile, so I am healing quickly, but I have had major anxiety ever since the surgery. I love the way I look so far, so I can only assume I will love it even more with time. But I feel so conflicted because of the anxiety I am having. I am constantly wondering "what have I done". I am wishing I had my time back even though I like the way they look - such a strange feeling. I'm hoping I feel differently with time! Has anyone else felt this way?

Hi there my procedure is on june 1 and today i was having panic attacks..thinking "what am i doing???". So yeah, i completely feel your anxiety. ...and for me, more will come....just remember that you are doing this for yourself and from your statement that you've wanted it so badly, you would have regretted it if you didn't go through with it. I have friends that had them done too and they just reassured me that this is such an exciting time in my life and that I'll have a lot of fun with them ;) lol. And really, its true. You look great and it seems that you're over the hump of the recovery stage so now comes the exciting times.! Spring is here! Good luck to you ☺

They look so good. I can't wait for mine. I'm tired of being a 36A especially when my mom and sisters are a full c to d cup.

AWE! sb! What you are feeling is TOTALLY normal!! You should have been informed on the roller coaster of emotions that are to come with this decision... SO since you weren't I will try to do my best to explain to you and then maybe you will feel at ease. You are at the "What Have I Done" stage--- Then you will move to the criticizing stage--- Then you will be pretty impatient about where you are in the journey. Your breasts will change it takes about a FULL year to have the complete END result! So try to LOVE yourself in the process. Try to listen to personal development from Audible. Message me if you need any book recommendations. You've got this girl! My surgery is scheduled for the 30th <3 I have done lots of research on what to expect emotionally and physically.

Thanks so much Beebs. I had no idea about these stages! I'll definitely take your advice. Good luck to you!

Thank you so much!! You look AMAZING!!!

I am in 100% agreement with Beebs!!! I went through very similar emotions when I had mine done years ago. In fact, I could physically feel your anxiety sb when I was reading this post. I remember feeling like a 'freak of nature'. I was upset with myself for being selfish and spending 'all that money' on boobs!!! But after the first month, your body and mind will accept 'the new you' and LOVE you! Me too, wanted it my WHOLE life, and then when I did it, questioned myself. 1 month, 3 months, 6 months...you will be SO HAPPY as the time goes on. And Beebs is also right in saying it takes a full year! So give yourself a chance...take a deep breath. The hard part is over, so sit back and enjoy! Big hugs!

Thanks so much. I am loving them already. The anxiety started to go away after about a week or two. I still have a ways to go with regards to how they will finally look but I've accepted that. I love how this site has brought support to me like this :) thanks again <3

Where did you find your bra? How do you know what size to buy?

I took a size small usually. This one is a medium. I didn't know what size to buy so it was just a guess. It's actually a bit small but it's fine. I still have no idea what size I would be in actual bra sizes though!

Thank you Beebs and sb662. You girls are so inspiring...I was booked last year and early this year and withdrew before the time because of guilt feelings such as "what am I about to go do !? " and yet its something I so badly want. You are all so wonderful, shari g your photos to help others and so supportive of one another. Good healing you all...I know you are going to love your new boobies.

Awww, naaldwerk. Good luck. I withdrew last year too. This year I changed my mind - it was a weird feeling. All of a sudden, I made the decision that it was something I wanted to do, and that if I wait too long there will be no point in doing it. So I booked all my appointments and used this site a lot for inspiration! And I have to say, I am so happy that I did it! It was scary, but two weeks later, I feel like a different, more confident person <3

I am starting to feel slightly better each day. Also happier with the results as the days go by. I'm still a little more tired than usual, but hopefully back to normal energy soon. They still look a little square-looking up top, but I understand that is supposed to change with time!

Everything seems to be coming along great, except I'm having tenderness in my lower ribs. Also, the tenderness seems to be extending down my front just to the right of midline towards my navel. Has anyone else experienced this? Even just to lightly touch my upper abdomen at that spot it is tender. I'm wondering if it is a ligament or something that is healing? Any input would be appreciated! Other than that, all is good! I'm loving the look I have already! And so happy I actually went through with the procedure. I was so down the first few days post op that it's hard to believe I'm feeling so good about it all now!!!

Hey I'm so glad this site exists. I am getting mine done next tues and have stats similar to yours. i am trying to decide between 304 mod profile and 375 high profile silicone. May I ask if u are happy with the shape and size. They look great from the pics.

Thanks! I went with 335 Full profiles. I love the look of them and I feel the size is perfect for me. My PS tried a larger size in the OR and thought they looked too large for my body so she went with the 335cc instead and I am so happy she did. Also, I just noticed this morning that I have (barely noticeable) stretchmarks. Hoping that may have been from the swelling and that they will disappear, but I'm not sure at this point! If I had gone any larger, I probably would have had more! If I was going with a moderate profile, I would probably want to go with the largest size possible for my breast diameter since they do not have as much projection.

I hope this helps and good luck!

You look great! I'm having similar pains- I'm 6 days post op. My lower ribs hurt and are pretty sore. It's probably ligaments healing. You look awesome!!
