I had my breast augmentation today! Meant to start my post weeks ago but just got around to it. So here are my stats I am 23, 5'3, weigh about 118lbs, and have one beautiful little girl who is 3.
I have been thinking about getting breast implants since I was a pre-teen! When most of the women in my family were blessed with big beautiful boobs, my girlfriends all have them and I still had itty bitty's! So last year I decided I am going to take things into my own hands. I have several girlfriends that have had the procedure done with great results so I decided to meet the the PS they went to. After meeting with several I really didn't feel like I found the one. After doing some research myself I discover Dr. Ben Lee. After meeting with him I realized he was the one for me! The entire staff was amazing; so professional and very knowledgable. I felt comfortable the minute I arrived! We decided on 375cc HP Mentor implants, incision at the breast fold, under the muscle. I am pretty petit so I didn't was a [RS bleep] look. I did my pre-op on May 6th, we went over in detail the procedure, risks, and did sizers. On the next day I wasn't feeling well so went to my doctors and turns out I had strep throat! Felt terrible! So needless to say I was worried that I would have to postpone my BA scheduled on May 24th. Luckily the antibiotics worked perfectly and by the time I did my blood work on May 16th I was all good to go! So I filled my prescriptions and started taking the Arnica Montana on Tuesday (three days prior to surgery), started my antibiotic on yesterday (Thursday). My BA was at 12:45 pm so the fasting (no food or drinks after 12:00am on Thursday sucked I was sooo thirsty by the time I checked in. The staff again explained the details of the BA. I let them know just how terribly afraid I am of the IV so the were very considerate of my fear and completely made me feel comfortable and even held my hand! Then I woke up in recovery and was a little out of it. I made sure the nurse relayed all of the instructions to my friend because I knew I wouldn't recall what she said... Stopped by my moms house on the way home to see my baby girl and let everyone know that the surgery went petfect! Them we headed home and I started my medication. I passed right out! When I woke up I was extremely hot/ sweaty, cured that by opening some windows and turning on a fan. Took some more of the meds and feel fine. I can walk, sit up, hold small things, put my hair up in a pony (that strained me a little) but feel great. Took a look at the girls, the look great!!! Very swollen and riding high on my chest but I can picture the end result already!!! I am so excited, so grateful to have the opportunity to treat myself to do this, and happy to have the support of my loved ones! I will upload some pic's to show my progress! (most are taken myself so poor quality)

Everything is going pretty smooth so far... Right breast is definitely more tender and still much higher than the left. I also have less strength in my right arm. Ive experienced several pretty painfull spasms in the right breast/ arm area.

I was / still am a little worried about the swelling on the left side of my stomach down by my hip. I called my PS; no answer so left a message yesterday with no word back then I called again today and talked to my PS. He really just brushed off my concerns and said everything was normal. That was upsetting I consider this to be a huge deal and apparently i was just another patient to him. Also disappointed in the size thus far; they're itty bitty. Hope to goodness a miracle happens when they drop and fluff! They need to get much bigger to even compare to my goal. I have been very lucky through the healing process compared to other reviewers I've read about here. I am winging myself off the pain medicine, I've been completely mobile and capable of doing pretty much everything I need to do. (Complete surprise to my and everyone around me)
I even went to a movie on Saturday! Lol pushing it a little I know. Anyway, fingers crossed these girls turn out how I expected them!!!!
Will keep you updated :)

Congratulations! It does look like you have a lot of dropping to take place. Hopefully over time you will be completely happy with your results. Sorry to hear your PS was not responsive. How is the swelling by your hip? If it hasn't subsided, you may want to consult with a doctor. Looking forward to your updates!
