35 Years Old, Small/flat Chest and Going Subglandular

35 and Finally Have Nice...and Big Breast!

I had considered getting breast implants for many years and had had a
consultation many years ago. For either personal circumstances or for
financial reasons I had not gone through with it.

Finally at 35 years old after having two kids, putting myself through college and a divorce, I went through with it.

I'm
5'10, 135lbs and fairly lean. I didn't have much breast tissue to start
with and was a 34A (depending on brand) and still had empty space in
the bra cups.

At my consultation appointment my doctor gave me a range of
implant sizes based on my measurments. I really appreciated having my
choices explained to me and options narrowed. It made things feel less
overwhelming. The doctor recommended sub muscular placement but I opted
for subglandular, as I didn't want my chest muscles cut into. I felt
recovery would be easier, as I had to return to work soon after surgery.
I also like the look of subglandular better.

I ended up with 385cc Sientra textured silicone and couldn't be happier.

Surgery went great and recovery has been uneventful.

Super helpful, as my stats are similar and I'm opting for subglandular, mod profile textured Sientras.

I just wanted to give a quick update. I've been feeling pretty good, no pain just stretching and pressure on and off.
I returned to work this week with no issues and I have a fairly active job as a vet tech.
I'm noticing the slight asymmetry that I had pre-op a lot more now, lol. My right breast is definitely bigger, lol.

Surgery went really good. Everyone at the surgery center was really nice.
I woke up with no pain, just a lot of pressure/ right feeling on my chest. So far I'm able to get around and I've had no problems moving my arms.

Honestly, the worst part for me has been the bloating from the meds, and trying to get comfortable to sleep, especially since I stopped the pain meds.

I get my stitches out tomorrow. Honestly, this tape is awful! It's been pulling my skin in certain spots for a couple days now. Have you gotten any new bras yet?
