I an scheduled to have my surgery in just 2 days and a wake up. SOOO scary! I've been obsessed and reading reviews on this site nonstop about the procedures and everyone's experience. I'm getting more and more nervous but I truly feel that I'm in good hands and everything will work out great.
I've wanted boobs for as long as I can remember. I've always been very slender and athletic looking with no curves. I've gotten into weightlifting in the last year (Not body builder status, just really enjoy lifting weight and I don't really watch I eat) and the more I work out and tone up, the more obvious my lack of boobs become. Breast implants have always been so taboo according to my family so that was never an option I would consider in fear of what they would say. I felt like I was destined to just live with whatever body I was given. Fast forward to now, I'm newly married with a very supportive hubby who thinks that while I'm beautiful the way I am, I should just do what makes me happy. So together, we decided to move forward with my surgery.
I'm getting my surgery done by Dr. Schlesinger in Honolulu. Him and his staff have been wonderful, patient, and professional. They are also so laid back, I always feel like I'm chatting with friends when im at their office. I've really enjoyed this site and learning from others from this site, so I've decided to start this blog to help calm my nerves through putting my feelings into words before the surgery and hopefully will help giving others a better idea of what the whole experience will be like. Stay tuned for future posts of my journey. Wish me luck ladies!!!!

the procedure & day 1 post op.
emoss2014August 1, 2015
The procedure went to well! Got my IV in (took 3 times because I have weird veins ????) but that's pretty much the worst part of the surgery. After that was done, I said bye to hubby and started making small talk with the nurses & doc and BLANK...the next thing I remember was waking up, fully dressed and my hubby by my side :-) the drugs made me sooo out if it and emotional. Apparently i asked for some water since my mouth is extremely dry, then started crying something like "I'm sorry Im such a bother to you. I love u, blah blah blah" lol hubby took a pic of me crying b teased me last night lol
My new twins are soooooo swollen & tight I could hardly breathe. I've been taking a weaker dose of Percocet (1 pill instead of 2) because I wanna keep the pain at bay but not overdo it and become too drowsy. The pain is tolerable even without the pills...I'd rate it about 7/10 and with pills more like 4/10. So for those of you who are worried about that, it is totally bearable :-) today is my 1st post op appt and hopefully everything looks good. Can't wait till they D&F so I can start enjoying them lol

Glad it went well!! We have a different mindset, I'm all "BRING ON THE DRUGS!" Haha I don't want to feel any pain if I don't have to! Been taking norco religiously every 6 hours as prescribed. I was also DYING for water when I woke up. I was so thirsty before surgery, then when I woke up I had a sore throat and tickle from the breathing tube. I was so excited when they handed me that water bottle!!
August 1, 2015
Lol oh I know I still have a sore throat & cotton mouth lol it's gross. And I've given up and started taking Percocet now to keep the pain at bay lol

For me it was the blasted strap with the gauze that was my main discomfort. The drains come out right away. Your boobs look amazing btw!
August 1, 2015
Aw thank you! Yes most the pain is in my arm & armpit right now lol n feeling so bloated...yuck! Lol yours looking amazing too!!!
August 1, 2015
Btw how long did it take for yours to start dropping or at least look normal enough to be out in public? Lol I gotta go back to work next Wednesday n so nervous!
August 2, 2015
It can look normal with regular clothes over it at anytime. I went back to work on a wed too after doing it on a friday. It sucked but no one was the wiser! My office is cold so i wore a cardigan over my work clothes. My boobs started to drop around the 3 week mark and looked normal at 4 weeks. Everyone is different though. Its painful now but it subsides in about 2 weeks. Hang in there sister, its gonna get better!

How long did it take yours to drop and/or looking slight normal enough to be seen in public? Lol thanks!

Day 2 post op
emoss2014August 2, 2015
Day 2 post op and my boobs and I have been in quite a bit of pain & discomfort still. Ive been taking pain killers for it but that just makes me bloated. I look pregnant and it's slightly upsetting but I know it's just temporary. My boobs are also still very hard, high and so much swelling that they r spilling to the sides. I've been told by my ps that when the swelling improves, they will relax and move to the middle for a natural look. But I can't help but worry. Can you share your experience with me? Thanks lady!

Take a look at my profile. Mine took 2 months to look normal especially my left side. But patience will get u through. And it's worth the wait.
August 3, 2015
Ah yours look so great! I can't wait til mine finally look like that. Patience... patience... Lol thanks for the encouragement!
August 3, 2015
Mines didnt seem high because when I started I had no upper pole fullness. It will just take time for your body to adjust around an immutable object that is your implant. The painkillers suck and was all too happy to be done with them. Oh and it was soooo painful to lean forward. Getting up sucked and it felt like i was ripping my lungs out.
August 3, 2015
Yea I'm still needing painkillers (down to maybe 2 pills/day though) and they suck big time and Yessss who knows leaning over would hurt so much? lol I've been walking around looking like a robot my body's so stiff :-P but I know it'll be worth it in the end :-)
August 3, 2015
Don't worry! I had mine done by Dr. S and they are perfect. Do exactly what he says and they will be fine. Your still way early yet don't worry! I think they look great so far! I had mine done in May and they feel like I've always had them. Be patient I'm sure you will love them:)
August 3, 2015
Thanks! He is such wonderful doctor. I trust him 120%!!! I guess I'm just trying to get used to the new girls lol I've never had boobs like this before!

I had my BA on July 31st. I was a 34 AA, 5'3, 134 pounds. I asked my dr to give me a big C or D cup. He said it would depend if my tissue expanded and my skin could handle it. I wanted the look but being so flat chested I thought I'd get something big but appropriate for me at the same time. My dr ended up giving me saline unders 450 and 500 ccs. I look huge. I've seen your pics and I look bigger. My breasts are high and hard as rocks. I can't even massage them. I'm done with the prescribed pain killers but I have a lot of pain and soreness especially when I wake up and wearing the sports bra. I'm really worried too that they will never drop and I went too big.
August 4, 2015
Hi! My ps explained to me that they will for sure drop and fluff in time but since people like us who had next to nothing to begin with, it'll take a longer time. Morning boobs is a thing and I can hardly get out of bed but hang in there, we just have to trust them that they'll soften over time :-) my ps also said since my surgery was 7/31, my peak swelling will be Wednesday and then it'll start to get better so might be the same for you too. Don't get discouraged, just think of the beautiful boobs and all the clothes we could fit in at the end of this :-)

Thank you! They got smaller and softer but they are still a bit hard. Can you update us on your progress?
