I had a full B before pregnancy and kids. F when breastfeeding, total years of breastfeeding was 9. My breasts now are 2 little sad saks hanging there empty.

I looked into breast aug since February, read many reviews, Q/A and videos on this website. I met 3 surgeons and decided on the last one who seems to be the most advanced. He only uses Sientra gummy bear, which I read far better than the other 2 brands.

I am doing high profile, between 350 cc and 400 cc, not decided yet. I can make that decision when I get there. I don't want the torpedo look, but I need to trust my dr. But again, I really, really want to be happy with the result.

Also, the BA is dual plane- half under half over muscle, I think that's what it means. It supposed to correct ptosis, which I have a mild case.

My stat is 5'2", 107-109 lbs, I think my base width is 13. I want to have a modest, natural look that is appropriate for my age. I am also very active, I run and work out a lot, so I also don't want the large breasts interfere with my life style.

I got my med, am cleaning the house today and ready. Just like many ladies who went before me, I am super excited and overly nervous the same time. I know the result will be pleasing, but still, that anxiety- what if it does not work out as I wish for - the size, the healing, the real odd of capsular contracture, infection, complication...

The next 2 days are hard... But, it shall come to pass :-)

Mine went great'. Very high up and hard as bricks but from what I have read that is normal. Am a little sore tonight but mostly tight. I expect soreness will get worse over the next few days but the result ai be so worth it! Not a smidgen of nausea either!
May 23, 2014
I am so glad to hear you are doing well. Mine is so hard and swollen Aldo. Up to literally my collar bones. I am not doing too well with med. they all caused me nausea and vomiting, including the nausea med.

And I am 52 5'3 and 133 lbs. going for 492 cc mod silicone and hoping for a very happy V or small D

My PS wants to do high profile Sientra smooth round, 350 to 400. Since I lost so much volumn, I hope this size helps restoring without screaming loudly look at my torpedoes...

I feel for you. I am hoping to schedule mine in mid June. Hope you start feeling better soon :)
May 23, 2014
Giiirrrlll, I am right there with you except no nausea fortunately. Mostly I am just trying to sleep through with a little help from pan meds and muscle relaxers . Hopefully this will be the worst of it for both of us!
May 24, 2014
How are you? Is the swing going down at all for you ? My got even worse today. I hope its typical.,.take care
May 24, 2014
My chest is extremely tight today. Just took two more Percosets so that should help with the pain. I think it is less pain today but still "riding high" righ under my neck! I keep telling them "down girls, down" but so far they ain't listening!
May 24, 2014
lol mine are not going down either. The last pain med i took was yesterday morning . not that i have no pain but i rather suffer pain than feeling sick and nausea if i take pain med. feel like it will never end :-( hat i

It's over. Rocky recovery

I thought I would be one of those wine who had it easy. Boy. Was I ever wrong. The boobs are great. The surgery went well. Dr Weinweig wa excellent. Just my body did not like ANY med. not antibiotic. Not sny pain med. not even the nausea pills. I was in hell feeling sick and nauseous for the first 18 hours. So sick from any med that I rather chose pain over nausea and took no pain med.

It's slowly improved. My breasts are so swollen hard rock tight But I can tell they will be beautiful.

I can't aprreciate my plastic surgeon enough. I am lucky to find him. He knows what would look good for me. And spend A LOT of time to educate and guide me through the decision process. I went in with the mind that I knew what was best for me and not going to let anyone turn me into a freak with giant boobs. I wanted the conservative look and insisted on 300 to 325. He explained to me why it was not enough to achieve my goal since I lost too much breast substance. I eventually convinced and let him decide for me when he operate. I so glad I did that.

Now I am just laying around being in pain and waiting to be healed.

Boobs are super tight and swollen. (I think I said it already...)
Husband helps with everything. I can't even reach for the water myself.

Patience is a much needed virtue...

Good luck to all of you lovely ladies who just had and about to have your BA.

Somehow it brings strength to know I am not alone. There are many of you who share the same experience, walked of about to walk the same path. :-)
