32 Years Old, 5'6" 120 Pounds, 34A Scheduled for 255cc Silicone Moderate Profile - Denver, CO

Looking at these before pictures is kind of depressing! I sometimes think my boobs look okay, but they look like shriveled nonsense in these pics. I wear a 34A, but I've never found a bra that fits properly, since they are so far apart and lack volume. Every bra I own has a ton of space in the cup (which I honestly don't really need).
I'm pretty thin, with a very thin upper body. I wanted a subtle, natural look, for I opted for 255cc round moderate profile.
My fear now is that I've chosen too small a size. When I tried on the sizers, they felt huge! They explained that the final result would be a bit smaller, but I still couldn't imagine going bigger. The visualizer showed a nice, natural-looking result, which the doctor agreed was very flattering. Then, during my pre-op appointment next week, the nurse asked me if I was certain of the size and added, "That's NOT a very big implant." Now I'm a little nervous. I've been looking at a ton of women who got petite implants, and their results vary wildly. Any thoughts?

First, a little about me. I've always been thin and very small-chested, and the older I got the more I wanted a softer, more feminine shape. I generally wore a 34A, but I often couldn't even fill that. I finally took the plunge! I chose 255cc, because I wanted a very natural look. Trying on the sizers, even those felt huge. They explained that the end result would be a bit smaller. Leading up to the surgery I started to worry that I had actually gone too small, and that the size difference wouldn't be worth it. It's still very early, but I'm confident that that is definitely not the case :)Post-surgery was very uncomfortable. I had kind of a stinging pain between my breasts, felt incredibly sore and groggy. Once I was a little more lucid I just wanted to get the F out of there and go home to bed. They gave me valium while I was in recovery, which seemed to help. Once I got home, I had a snack (I was STARVING), a percocet, an anti-nausea medication and was able to nap for a little while. I had to sit almost completely upright with the help of pillows. The Percocet helped A LOT. After I woke up, I had to have my boyfriend help me up (which he still is, its painful to get up without assistance), and I was able to walk around, go to the bathroom, have something to eat, etc. It's now been about 3 hours since I got home, and I honestly feel loads better already. Just laying in bed, I feel fine and want to get up and do stuff, but if I try reality smacks me down.The boobs look GREAT!! They are swollen, rock hard, and riding high, but I am super optimistic that they will settle into a nice shape. I'm really happy about the size as well. I can't wait to continue healing.

I had mostly a good night's sleep, even though I was propped up on 3 pillows. I woke up feeling really sore, I guess because the meds had worn off by then. My boyfriend had already gone to work by then, so I had to get up by myself, which was painful. I took a two Percocets after food, which helped a lot but also made me pretty loopy.

Here's a tip: if you are going to be alone during the early days of your recovery, put your meds in ziploc bags or another easy-to-access container. Apparently, opening the childsafe lids uses your chest muscles, and it HURTS!

Today, though, I've felt mostly fine. I'm still taking painkillers every 6 hours or so, but I've been up and around. I walked the dog, went to the movies, and finally got to take a shower. It felt amazing.

Visually, there isn't a big change in my boobs. They felt more swollen on the top earlier, I used some arnica gel which seemed to help. I also switched from the support garment they gave me to one of my sports bras, which is a lot more comfortable. I'm hoping to be able to go out and be more active tomorrow.
