32 Year Old Mother of 4 Breastfed Babies! - Indianapolis, IN

Hi! I have been following this site ever since I seriously started looking into breast augmentation. I wasn't planning on posting my story here, but I alost feel that would be selfish of me to not give back! I also think it will be nice to be able to share with others who are in the same boat as me as I don't know anyone personally that has had a breast augmentation.
I was never very gifted in the chest department aside from when I was full of milk, and have halfway joked around about fixing that for a long time! I also am very active and try to keep my body in decent shape, so about a month ago I decided I was tired of being pretty comfortable in my body aside from those little bags up there!
I searched for about a week pretty extensively until I came on the Gillian Institute website. After looking at every before/after photo and reading about Dr. Short herself I knew she was the one!
I actually booked my surgery and did my preoperative at the consultation for less than 2 weeks later!
I had my surgery this morning, and so far I could not be more pleased! Everyone was so nice and helpful and answered any questions I have or concerns. I was so nervous about the surgery, and it was so easy I am still in shock! I am feeling pretty good right now, although I know that could change. I am going to stay on top of my meds through Saturday at least and then see how it goes from there. My kids are 9, 8, 3, and 2 so I need to heal up quick and easy as possible!
I am 32 years old, 123-125 pounds and 5'3". My husband said they told him I should be a good C cup with Mentor HP. I thought I might want to go a little larger, but they decided in surgery that a C looked better than a D on my frame and I trust them! So excited to take a peek at then this evening before bed! I didn't take any before pics, but I'm sure I have some in a bikini top or something.
I am more than welcome to any suggestions for anything anyone has to help speed the healing process along or make it more bearable or any hints or hacks of stuff for the kids to do, etc.XOXO

So far recovery hasn't been near as bad as I was anticipating. I'm really hoping it stays that way and doesn't get worse over time! I was able to shower by myself today and I also started my massages. Those are a tiny bit painful so hopefully they do their job. I started cutting back on pain meds yesterday so I could be a little more present. I've really been out of it since I've been home. I found a before picture to post, and I'll post after pics soon. I haven't taken any pics so far since they look so scary. From what I've read that's normal. I just can't wait for them to start softening up a bit. I've been icing a few times a day and taking arnica tablets 4 times a day. If anyone has any othere suggestions to help the swelling go down faster I would try it! I I also started hearing those weird gurgling sounds only on my left side, but have read that's normal too. Does anyone know how long that usually lasts? XOXO

I went for my first post op appointment yesterday and the doctor said everything looked great! They were impressed with my progress of how they are softening up and said my incisions looked great, so all of that was a relief. I got to get rid of my ace bandage I have had on top since surgery, super excited about that!
I haven't been cleared to wear a bra yet, but she said I could do bralettes and such so of course I stopped at VS on the way home and picked one up in a medium. I also got a 34C sports bra since they were on sale. I will just keep the tags on until I know if it is going to fit okay in the end.
I really hate doing my massages. I thought they hurt bad enough before, but apparently I wasn't even doing them right. They showed me the right way yesterday, which is much more aggressive and hurts even more. I forgot to ask how long I have to do them. Anyone have any insight on that?
Overall I'm so happy. I just cannot wait until everything drops into place and softens up and my muscles aren't so sore.
