My consultation was 8/10/16 and surgery is scheduled for 11/15. I was very nervous about size but after 2 sizing visits we chose 397/421 cc natrelle silicone, under muscle (right boob smaller than left since forever). I'm still a little worried they'll be too big but I'm going with my gut. I am "barely" an A cup now and am hoping for C cup result. I'm really worried/anxious about post op pain and nausea but my PS has prescribed a lot of pain/nausea medication. I feel like I have pretty high pain tolerance but zero tolerance for nausea. I love all the reviews on RS and has really helped me a lot. Would love any feedback/advice on post surgery pain management. I will be getting Dilaudid and then Celebrex and Flexoril.

Well surgery is over!! It went better than I expected. The nurses got me prepped and IV started. Then I was walked to the operating room (surgery suite at PS office. I awoke with pain right beast more the left. It was hard to speak but they understood and gave me a pain pill. This worked wonders and I left with my husband to go home. I had forgotten a pillow to put between you seatbel and boobs. I used my hubbies jacket instead. I recommend a blanket or pillow. The pain the rest of the day was about a 6 (that's taking meds) but tolerable. If you've ever breast fed you'll understand what being engorged feels like and that's how I feel but x10. It's so hard to say how big I'll be right now because they so swollen. I've slept off and on with pillows propped up. I can tell my back is going to start hurting after a few nights sleeping like this. I will say over all things went great. My implants are super high right now but they don't look too bad. I can't wait for them to drop and fluff :)

Day 1 post op!!

Well the first night was a little rough. Woke up around 1:30 am with increased pressure in both sides. I took a Dilaudid and it did ease up a little. I've been able to move around on my own but definitely can't lift more than a few pounds. I've also started noticing gurgling noises on both sides. I'm wondering if this will go away? I've had zero nausea, which I attribute to the scopalomine patch. As far as appearance they are very high and a bit squarish but I expect that to improve in the next few weeks. Overall I think I'm doing quite well and my husbamd says I'm doing better than expected. I will try to post some pics soon!!

I've read where others have mentioned the gurgling/sloshing noises too. PS told at least one of them that it was from a small amount of residual saline used to wash out the implant pocket and that it will reabsorb fairly quickly. Yes to the square shape too! I think most are like this until the drop & fluff happens. I'm sure you will look fabulous and it sounds like you are doing great! Look forward to seeing your after photos. Happy healing!

Congrats! Thanks for the post op update. I'm scheduled for December with similar implants and am interested in how others recover.
What a great time in your life to refresh the look of your breasts. Glad you're going with your gut on the size...that's always best! If you've had children, you'll survive the pain, which is more like a discomfort. Sometimes the pain medication can cause nausea and many women ditch the narcotics fairly quickly. Also, an anti nausea prescription can be helpful the first day or so. Feel free to join the November 2016 breast augmentation surgery forum for some post op support. Good luck tomorrow and update us soon!
