Hi ladies! Well I did it! I wanted to share my story. I have relied on this site a lot and wanted to give back. Had my surgery today. Not going to lie, I'm having a pretty good amount of pain. I'm OK also long as I don't move. Lol! I'm pretty sure already that it's with the pain. My doctor gave me 575cc, Mentor Moderate Plus Profile in both breast. Before the BA I was a 38B, barely! I'm hoping I will now be a full D or small DD. I will keep you all posted on my recovery.

Well 2 days in, still having some pain but have noticed a big improvement. I'm able to move my arms more. I can tell some of the swelling has went down. Im already happy with the results even though they still look like funky alien boobbies! Lol I can't wait to see the final result. Got a call first thing in the morning from Dr. Ritrosky yesterday. He wanted to see how I was doing. I thought that was awesome he takes the time to check up on his patients. Still taking my pain meds every 3 hours. I keep getting this sharp burning/stinging pain on the side of my right breast. It takes your breath away. I'm thinking it might be a nerve maybe?

What was your size after the surgery
September 16, 2015
Not sure about the size just yet due to still be all swollen. I'm thinking a 38DD. I will keep you posted.

Wondering why he did not repositioned your nipples...

He told me he thought I would be very happy with out the lift at this time. He has done alot of cases just like mine without a lift and they are happy. I know, the uneven does have me a little nervous. I'm having faith once the healing process is done they will be more even.

Well, things are improving at a slow speed. I have just been watching Netflix and holding the couch down. Overall the soreness has eased off. First thing in the morning is a little stiff. I still keep getting the sharp pain in my right breast. It takes my breath away. Can't wait till that's over with. I have been very lucky to have the best Murse! My husband has taken excellent care of me. Have to say, I'm a little shocked. Lol

I like them alot better. I'm worried I went to big...but I have gained some weight. I still have one side the sits alit higher. I'm trying to be hopeful and give it year for my right breast to settle. I have posted an updated pic.

Glad to hear RealSelf has been helpful with your journey. Thank you for your thoughtfulness in giving back by sharing your story! Sounds like your recovery is going well. Be sure to take something to counteract the constipating side effects of the pain medication. ;) Also, feel free to join the September 2015 breast augmentation forum for some additional post op support. Congratulations and update us again soon!
