WORTH IT$6,500
It's been about five weeks shy of two days since my BA. Finally the pain is almost gone. They do look great though, but it's like trying to get used to a new figure as some tops I had no longer fit up top. Interesting that my 34 DD bras still do though. I had a very small implant put in to mainly focus on the upper part of my breasts, and I guess that with the lift just pulled everything out and up front. :-)
I have a couple friends who have had implants and I can talk to them just fine about things, but one woman who used to be a really good friend will not talk with me about it even when I mention it in an email. I guess some people do not agree. My husband said I am too critical of every little facet of my body and that I wanted it so he went along with it. We got into a big fight over this last night because he said the lipo and this are really not that big of a deal to him. He said I was just fine before. Too me I wasn't and I did not like the way things looked.
So that being said, I wonder why I even bothered and should have just left well enough alone. I have to say it does hurt because besides the cost, its painful and uncomfortable for quite a while. At least it has been for me. And then I think, wow, I'm older and I should just be who I am and leave my vanity aside for good. Overall, I am happy that I did it, I just can't talk to some friends about it because they'll think I am acting like a teenager getting this stuff done. Oh we'll, what's done is done. No turning back now. It's nice to not have to wear a bra around the house if I don't want to and to fit in a swim suit better, and to not have that little belly I was adopting. So yeah, I guess still worth it. Writing this on this forum is therapy for me today. I need it right now.

So I am just about 3 weeks post op and I am feeling better with less pain thankfully. I still have a ways to go though and joined a golf league that starts May 8th, however, I'll end up starting probably around the 22nd or so depending.
I am very happy with the aesthetic appearance of my breasts now. When they feel all the way up to par again, I'll even be happier. But as the saying goes, "no pain no gain!"

Hi - I tried to reply yesterday but webpage kept stalling. Thank you by the way! I'm feeling better but I would say the lip as far as downtime is about one week off of work give or take a day or two depending on how you feel. I had mine done on 2/22, and still feel the numbness and little sharp brief pains every now and then, but overall it's not bad at this point at all. For me, it was until about 4 weeks where most of the irritating effects from the surgery were gone and now all that is left is what I mentioned above.
The BA was a more intense pain wise though, but should not be as long as a recovery as the lipo
Good luck to you on your upcoming BA in July!

Today, doing much better. I was really out of sorts the other day and everything just hurt like hell. I had my follow up with the doc on Friday and he is very pleased and assured me everything is progressing as normal. I am happier today because I actually got some stuff done around the house.
Excuse my last dreary post. I guess I was just in a funk that day. Feeling much better overall. I finally got out of that surgical bra! Yay!!! Looks like I will be a 34-36 D to DD when all the swelling is down. They do look pretty darn nice, I have to say. Hubby is very happy as well. :-)
