It's the night before my breast implant surgery! I am 29 years old, 5'11 and about 168 pounds (depending on my gym habits and the time of the month that number on the scale fluctuates pretty greatly).. I have an almost 5 year old son that I adore and before him I was a natural D/DD.. I breast fed for 13 months and am now border between a full B/modest C cup. I am looking to replace the volume in my breasts and gain back the ability to fill out my tops! It's the night before my 7:30am surgery. I have a lot of help for the next 10 days with my son and took 11 days off from work (thankful!) I am looking forward to my new assets, and putting this surgery behind me! I workout regularly (and work at a gym) I can't wait to get back to my routine!..My doctor says I don't actually need a lift. I have mild asymmetry as my left breast is a bit droopier than the right one (my son favored nursing left) I'm not worried about being completely even. We aren't doing a lift and I'm not looking for exact twins- good lookin sisters with full plump volume is good for me! Wish me luck!

Hey girl! Doing ok.. The girls are beautifully full! If I had to guess right now despite the swelling I am a full DD although I know cup size would be too soon to guess this early- if I had to eyeball it that's about the size. Being so tall I can certainly handle it on my larger athletic frame. The nice thing too is the implants seem to have plumped me back up and diminished the look of breast stretch marks I had from nursing my son- what a happy surprise! Thanks for the concern xox

Girl, Thanks for all the pictures and details. I am 31, 5'11", ~169, have a 3-yr old that I breastfed for 13 months as well.. Had a full C before breastfeeding and now not even a full B. It's really nice to see someone with similar stats before and after. My doc advised 525cc, but after looking at yours, I may even go for more. I was worried that being tall and athletic 525 may make me look too "top-heavy", but yours look amazing. I am now pretty sure that 525 will be just fine or I might even go larger. Thank you for sharing :)

Feeling good so far.. It's midnight first night post op feeling sore and heavy. It's hard to sleep but I'm finding comfortable enough positions. My body woke me up 45 mins before my next muscle relaxer was due so I'm glad I got that in me now. Happy the surgery is behind me and I can drink plenty of water and invite in healing energy. I am very swollen but loving my volume so far despite the armpit swelling! The bra they provide makes it hard to take good pics but we will try again tomorrow! Wish me rejuvenator sleep! Going to try to get more shut eye before the next round of meds are due in 3 hours! Xox sweet dreamzzz. It's my first night sleeping after surgery.. 12:30 in the middle of the night I'm pretty sore- my body woke me up 45 mins before I was due for my next muscle relaxer. Just took it with plenty of water and some saltines- also ate 3 small dried prunes as many ladies talked about the constipation that comes along with all of these pain killers. I'm quite swollen especially the outside of the left breast/ right where my armpit is. I'm no baby to pain it is quite intense but manageable once I've relieved myself and find a comfortable position to lay in. I have a feeling I'll be up and down half the night but it's ok water and some movement should help me heal. The fact that I got my period the morning of my surgery (20 mins before op time) has helped ensure that I get up every few hours to change my tampon! Oh to be a woman! Feeling positive and keeping my mood happy and relaxed I am praying and inviting in healing energy to surround me and help me improve faster.. Next alarm set for 3 hours for now to take pain meds- here's to sweet dreamzzz.. I'm sure I'll be back soon.. Nite!

I'm chuckling reading your post because I had my BA on June 17 and got my period the the night before my BA...I thought what luck, but in fact it wasn't a tough period, probably because I didn't feel any cramps due to the pain meds. And I also think it was good that I kept moving every couple of hours too. Happy healing!

First full day of recovery.. 24 hours out of surgery

Feeling good this morning. Still very swollen but I'm having an easier time standing up and am not afraid of being home alone for 6 hours (boyfriend and mother both have to go back to work today for a bit). I woke up about 3 times last night right on track with the times I needed to take my meds. I'm drinking plenty of water and organic fruit juices as well and nibbling on saltines to help prevent potential nausea. Eating a few prunes here and there still to help prevent long term constipation (cool with me as I love prunes!) I'm relaxing today with a new Doreen Virtue book, Netflix, and the new issue of Cosmo. Happy to see my girls are looking good and despite the puffy lateral swelling by my armpits everything is beautiful and I feel happy and a bit less top heavy today. It felt good to go outside for 5 minutes with a nice cup of coffee and to have my boyfriend brush my hair and lotion my legs. I am a lucky girl. I know my years at the gym and daily hydration (usually a gallon a day gym rat) have laid a healthy foundation for a speedy recovery. So far so good! Will continue to update as I progress! Surgery went well. Getting out of the hospital bed and the ride home were the worst part. I'm happy to be home. Already drank a pressed juice, some strawberries, and saltines. Took a few cat naps and feel good sitting still. Such a heavy pressure pain while standing but that's to be expected. My boyfriend is taking stellar care of me. Loving the full volume of my breasts even with ALL of the swelling!

glad to hear that your healthy lifestyle has provided you with a decent recovery. that gives me much hope!! I feel like I will bounce back. did you go over or under muscle? are you a lifter?
User Avatar

We did dual plane (part over part under) I am a lifter- not overly extreme- I get to the gym about 5x/week.. Lift about 2x/week but work a lot with resistance bands, my own body weight, and cool dynamic trainer led workouts. I've also loved yoga for a long time & recently got more into Pilates. Can't wait to get back in the gym!
