33 Years Old, Mom of 2, 5'0", 500cc Silicone Implants HP - Columbus, OH

Hi, I am a 33 year old mom of 2 (both breastfed). I am currently a 32A cup. I have considered a breast augmentation for a long time and tomorrow is the day! I can't believe it's here! I chose 500cc silicone implants (high profile) but after MUCH consideration. I went back and forth between 450 and 500 for quite a while. I looked at hundreds of photos online, read reviews and went to try on the sizers 3 times! I discussed my goals and vision with my doctor and while I liked the way both sizers looked I was still concerned they would be too big. I have heard that nearly everyone who has had this done wishes they went bigger. And my doctor gave me the advice that if I was stuck between two sizes to go with the larger size. She said in her experience I would be more upset if I went too small than too big. I went for it! My goal was to get back what I had before kids, and then some. Why just stop at what I had? I have the opportunity now to choose what I will look like. Why limit myself or be conservative if I don't have to? I felt that (from the sizers) that the 500s would give me a little "wow". The 450s seemed a bit safe. Or at least that's what I told myself. We shall soon see! I'm nervous and excited, and it all goes down in less than 12 hours! To be continued...

Surgery is done! I woke up from the anesthesia feeling very relieved that it was done! I took a peak at the girls and was pleasantly surprised. I know they're swollen and riding up really high but I'm happy with them! I know they'll keep getting better from here and I think they'll look great! I just home from the hospital. I'm not feeling too bad actually. I feel a lot of tightness in my chest and under my arms. I took one Percocet after eating some crackers which took the edge off the building discomfort. Also feeling pretty sleepy so it may be time for a nap!

Ouch! I woke up very stiff and sore. I ate breakfast and took my scheduled meds, which helped, but I'm still very uncomfortable. There's no sharp or intense pain but everything aches. I know that's to be expected. I am just doing my best to heal quickly: walk around the house, stay somewhat active, at the same time get my rest and not overdo it or lift anything, consume 100g protein per day, check my incisions, etc. I can handle this and I will get through it!
