350cc left filled to 375 right filled to 400. Saline. Armpit incision. Under muscle. Brand: Mentor
Pre-op: 32A
Post-op: unknown for now
Pain from 1-10: 8 (due to nausea and depression but the soreness was ok. The nerves awakening in your breast was the most painful thing ever. It kept me awake at night.)
Had my breast implants done on feb 6 2013, Wednesday. My appointment was for 630a.m. Started paperwork and everything and went into the operating room around 7. Woke up around 1030 and felt so sore!
Went home and took a nap, or at least tried to. I did not have an appetite. I took my pills every four hours. I was prescribed Lortab. Later that night I had trouble sleeping because I was a stomach sleeper. I woke up every hour and was wide awake. I think it's because I slept during the day. I still took my pain killer every four hours.
Feb 7th
Woke up at 5a.m. I don't know why but I walked around my house for 30 minutes, drank some orange juice and went back to sleep. Woke back up at 10 and felt sick to my stomach. I threw up everything I ate or drank. I laid in bed all day. I also laid on my implants and did snow angel like motions with my hands. My doctor told me to do this so I could stretch my muscle.
Feb 8th
I woke up feeling depress. I didn't have a good night sleep since my surgery. I rested all day and couldn't eat anything. I had a few episodes of crying. I was very depress and emotional. I felt alone because no one was with me at that time. I felt like everyone was going to leave me. I stopped taking lortab and switched over to Tylenol. None of those pain killers helped with the nerves awakening though. So painful!!

This day was the worse day ever! I was so depress, bloated, and constipated. I cried for three hours. I was able to shower also. I did not sleep at all. I pushed everyone away. I regretted my decision at one point asking myself why I wasn't happy with my own body. I was very depress. It's a feeling I wouldn't want anyone to feel. It sucked!
Later that night I told my family, boyfriend, and friends about my depression and it took a huge lump off of my chest and shoulders. I felt so much better. I think it's because everyone was at my house hanging out and I was around everyone I love. And... I was able to eat and I ate so much!
Feb 10th
Better day! I felt better but not 100% I suffered insomnia. I didn't sleep at all at night but had enough energy during the day. I was able to move around a lot more. Laying on my implants still hurt like hell though. I also drove to Panera bread and had lunch there and went to chuck e cheese with my sisters and nephews.
Feb 11th
Drove to class! It felt weird. I felt a lot though.
Feb 12th
First post-op appointment. Took my tapes off of my stitches. I had armpit incisions by the way.. Everything was going well
Feb 19th
Second post op appointment. I took my stitches off. It felt weird and a little painful! When I lift my left arm up, it feels like I'm pulling on a skin. It burns like hell. I'm not sure what it is. My armpits have this weird scent. It reminds me of the hospital. Gross!
Today, feb 27
I am three weeks post op and I am sitting in class while I write this. I feel a lot better! I almost feel 100 but not fully. I am able to lay on my side a little bit but its kind of painful. I do not regret my decision and I am very happy with my results so far. I would not want to go through the depression experience ever again though. I can drive normally. My left arms still hurt a little bit when I lift it up. I was clear to massage my breast after one week post op. I can feel my implant on the side a little bit but my doctor said it was normal. There's not much to update for now. I am feeling great! My breast is a lot more softer now. It jiggles a little bit.. I stopped the pain killers 4 days post op. I was taking zzz-quil for my insomnia but it didnt help at all! I was able to sleep a little bit more normal 1 week post op. I am sleeping on my back but I sometimes lay on the side but its still a little painful. Recovery sucked but it was worth it!

You look fantastic. Did you ever find out why you had the burning sensation in your armpit? What size implants did you get?
February 27, 2013
Woww. We have similiar weight and height. I wish you will post before surgery pic. Thanks for make an awesome review!
February 27, 2013
Anyway, so you do it moderate or HP? Sorry if you metioned on your profile. But I can't see :(
February 27, 2013

Yours look great! Gives me faith that I can get a nice result with saline!!! Planning to get my BA mid-April. I am less than an "A" due to breastfeeding both of my babies. Can't wait!!!! :)
February 28, 2013
Goodluck! Your recovery will be smooth because your skin is already stretched due to breast feeding!! Just pick a good surgeon and everything will be fine! :)
February 28, 2013
Thanks! Hoping it goes smoothly. I have two more consults set up before I chose "THE" surgeon. ;) Glad you are feeling better and enjoying the new you!
