Dr Garrett Harper did my B.A. in Charlotte today. It was scheduled at 12:30pm and I'm already home, in bed and I ate some soup. Was told that I had minimum bleeding if any at all. I know they're still swollen, but I love them already. We had previously discussed about 550cc, which I worried would be too small. But my daughter said the first thing I asked was, " how do my boobs look?" Lol.
I couldn't stop looking at them and touching them! I came home at about 5 pm. No pain either. I can only describe the feeling as if you nursed and became engorged. Slight tightness but no pain at all.
We'll see how I Feel overnight

Day 2 recovery... Still no pain

Ok, I had a great night's rest. I usually have insomnia anyway but my sleep wasn't interrupted due to pain. I'm still amazed that I didn't have to take ANYTHING for pain. Before I ramble on, here's my implants stats:

Natrelle Inspira 745cc both//above muscle
It's barely a day and I know I'm still recovering, but I love my twins. I can't stop looking at them at all angles. This is my very first cosmetic surgery and I'm in awe. I've seen many women describe the feeling as having a huge elephant on their chest, but that isn't an accurate description for me. I've nursed two children and my breasts reminded me of when I was really engorged. I do feel some tightness underneath the crease where my incisions are though.. And I contribute that to the surgical bra, honestly.

Once again, I'm THRILLED that Dr Harper gave me 745cc. This is proof of his dedication of knowing his patient's body, attention to aesthetic and proportions. At my first consult, the 3d Vectra imaging showed me with 600cc and I thought it was perfect. But in the end-to-end he went big and they look so natural.
I definitely was worried about "boob greed" based on other reviews.

I took my antibiotic last night with plenty of water and that's it. Looking forward to a full day of loving my new additions. I'm so happy, you have no idea ????

Thank you for your post! I am scheduled for my BA on 7/28 and I am nervous about the pain after. I have also nursed 2 kids and love the comments like it feels like engorgement. I know everyone is different but it makes me feel better. You look great by the way!!

Thank you very much! I had no idea what to expect since this is my first ever plastic surgery. I had a lumpectomy and biopsy done three years ago and it left a huge center where the mass was removed. They were not symmetric and I was tired of padding! I still haven't had any pain at all. I dove up the street to the store and took my time. I love them and wish I could show everyone! Lol

2nd night of recovery

This is technically the first full 24 hrs and I still haven't encountered any pain or discomfort. Obviously I know that I have new additions and I'm getting used to positioning my body to accommodate them. I did drive up the street to get iced coffee and I was very careful on how I reached over to close my car door etc. I'm trying to follow directions to the letter because I don't want anything to go wrong.
I also showered today and went slower than usual trying not to over saturate my strips under the crease. I even shave my legs but not leaning over too much!
I know this sounds redundant, but I just love my new boobs! They are settling in nicely and I am adjusting better with each hour that passes.
