From a 42I to a 42DD

After 15yrs of big breasts, it was finally time to do something about it. I developed fairly early at the age of 13; from a A/B cup to a D cup. When I finally hit a 42I, it w as time to do something permanent. I had my first consult in March of 2013, got approved in about 1.5wks, and scheduled my surgery for about a month later. I kept pushing the date back until I realized I was uneasy about his credentials. I cancelled it completely and put it in the back of my mind. After going through another hot, sticky MS summer and fall, it was time to look into it again. This time, I scheduled with a highly recommended surgeon in my area, Dr. Shelby K. Brantley at The Face and Body Center in Flowood, MS. ahhhhhhhhh! I had finally found my surgeon. He put me completely at ease . My consult was in November, but I waited until 2014 to have my surgery due to the percentage of my STD increasing after being at my job at least 2yrs. I had to submit for insurance approval again; approved again after a date snafu. I finally had my surgery on 2/26 and everything went great!!! I'm only 5 days post op but everything is looking good. I'll post before and after pics and keep everyone updated along the way

Here are my before pics at a size 42I. The blue bra is for comparison; it's a size 42DD. I should end up somewhere between a D/DD. It was on sale so I snatched it up.:)

The last 7 days have had its ups and downs. I pretty much slept the whole day of and after my surgery. I was wheeled back around 10am and left the facility around 1:30pm. I came out of surgery around 12, but my blood pressure was up, so they had to get it down before I left. Dr. B prescribed oxycodone and antibiotics and we picked it up on the way home. It was a 2hr drive to my parents home, but I slept just about the whole way. I took my pills on schedule; so pain was pretty low but uncomfortableness was HIGH!!! Lol! Everything was so tight and swollen.
I tried to be brave and wean myself off the oxycodone 3 days post-op because I hated the drowsy, loopy feeling it gave me. By 9pm, I popped one and waited for the drowsy bliss to fill me!! Lol!! However, on Saturday I purchased extra strength Tylenol and that's all I've been taking. Along with pain meds, a good surgical bra is a must. Unfortunately, they gave me one wayyyyyy too big. I've been wearing a front closure sports bra over it for more support.
I'll post after pics in the next update. Happy healing!!!! God bless!!
