So worth it!! - Indianapolis, IN

It is very very painful!!!! The first 3-4 days I could hardly move my arms. The recovery seems to be longer then going under the boob. My sis went under the boob and she was up doing laundry the next day. There is no way, I couldn't do anything. Not to scare you, but I don't think I was prepared enough for what I was going to feel. So you will be in extreme pain, take your meds and make sure you have someone to help you. It's hard getting up, laying down, showering etc. After 4 days I was getting along a lot better. That seems so far away, I bet you are super excitied!!! I had to bump my date up a couple weeks cause I couldn't stand the wait anymore. I'm 16 days out so far and doing better. I started exercing 6 days after, only leg related stuff. I've been spinning and doing a lot of legs. Make sure you do try and move your arms around. That was the one thing my doc wanted me to do. The more you move the faster and quicker you will get to feeling better. I moved them around a lot in different directions, up and down. They are still a little tight, especially my left arm. I guess it's cause I don't use that arm as much. It is still hard to put pressure on them, like wiping the counter or vacuuming. What size are you going with? I sort of wish I would have gotten 50cc more, a fuller C. But I like them more each day. I was really depressed the first week, I was hoping they would have been bigger. The what if's, that kept going through my mind. You do go through a lot of emotions the first week. Good luck, and I hope you get excatly what you want.

Thanks!!! I will have my boyfriend here to help me.(He works from home.) I wish I could bump up the date for my surgery I am so excited. However, I am a teacher and need the spring break holiday to recover. I will end up with 13 days off. Did you have silicone or saline? I have read different articles one said you could not have silicone. My pre op consult is on Feb 14, Valentines day, I will discuss this with him then. I have started working out to help build up my muscle strength and stamina, not to mention to loose a few pounds before the surgery. Good luck and happy healing.

Hi chillin .. I had my implants put in through my areolas .. silicone, 457ccsc. I had very little pain and by the 2nd day was massaging them with no problems. Make sure you take your muscle relaxers/pain pills. Everyone reacts differently .. I have been trying to not activate my chest muscles at all but I will say making meatloaf 2 weeks post op - not a good idea. ;)

NoMoreBoobEnvy, Note to self... no cooking. Belive me that wont be a problem. lol. I hope you dont mind... but both my BF and I agree that your's is the inspiration pic I will bring to my pre-op appt. Thanks for all your wonderful advice and encouraging words ( I have been doing alot of research on here.

True, I was hoping to avoid that but oh well. My sis got a D and she loves her's. I like them more each day, but just a little more would have been nice. You are right about 50cc, it doesn't add much. 100cc would be better, that would be a really over flowing C small D. I read that each 50cc adds 3 tbps. That is not very much when you look at it that way. Your's look nice!!!

Thanks girlie! I will probably finish at a D .. they are SO easily hidden LOL. Next time I go for a BA I'm definitely going bigger! I think I could handle a DD. :P

I am very happy I went with my 457's .. Wish I went even bigger!!!

I was an Acup. Everyone is different though, 300cc on you may look bigger then it is on me or smaller. I am a full B small 34c. Which I wanted a little bigger after I saw mine, but I'm starting to really like the size they are right now. All my friends that have seen them say they look so good and natural. That was my goal to look more natural.

I know, don't you hate that!!! Especially since there is nothing you can do right now. I know my hubby would not want to pay for me to get them bigger right now, not after putting out all that money. Probably the only way for me to get them bigger is when I have to replace them, I can't imagine going under anytime soon, after all that pain and recovery time. I am looking forward to spring break!! I posted some pic's.

Love your pics!! I think I'm just through a phase of not having "perfect" boobs and it seems like everyone else's look great and also unless I am in a freaking bikini top you can't tell I had my boobs done! Again, probably for the best, but goodness I have 457 ccs - just thought they would be a little bit more noticable in clothes. Everything happens for a reason .. it is WAY better than what I had and I'm thankful I am healthy ;P

Hey Huck, my hubby is the same. I know he won't pay out for an increase. So, even though he is concerned I will like pornoish...I'm going bigger! I'm calling tomorrow and greeting them increased to the next size. Right now I'm getting 533 cc under muscle. The next size up should give me that full 34D I want. I'm sure the hubby isn't going to complain that they are to big. Like a man would ever say that! Right? :).

That's what I keep telling myself, I had no issues, everything is going well so I'm thankful and happy about that. You have to just look at your before pic's and think of how much better you look now. I looked at mine at my 1 wk check up, it was a huge difference and it looks so much better. I think each day I love them more!!!

It's hard to really know. Everyone's chest cavity is different. I was looking at people's pics and thinking wow 250cc is huge. But I got 300cc and that put me at a 34c, smaller C, but I still fill up the cup completly. I was reading that every 200cc is a breast size, and depending what you have now will kind of help determine what the outcome will be. It's so important to really let your doc know what your goal is. I'm athletic so I didn't want to lose that in a lot of boobs. I told my doc full b small C and I really got what I had asked for. But I guess I was thinking they would have looked a little bigger. My sister was an Ac (like me) and she got 435cc and she is a 34D, her's look really big compared to mine. So idk you might be looking at a DD if you go up more. But it's important to get what you want cause you can't redue it. I guess for me it's better to be a little smaller then I wanted then to be so big it would get in the way of me working out. I'm a huge crossfitter and runner, so big ones might have gotten in the way.

Good luck with everything, and let me know how it goes. I would love to see your before and after pic's.

Hey no more... I was wondering w the amount of ccs you got do you get any upper back pain that you can tell yet? And if anybody else has an answer for this as well that would be very appreciated!!!

I got 457 ccs silicones under the muscle. No, no back pain. How are you?

Hi Lym, I got 533 cc's and no back pain. My girlfriend has always had neck pain and she got 400 cc's about three years ago. She has had no additional pain. She's actually increasing her cc's by 200 each by this summer.

Awesome!!! That is how big I am thinking about going!!!! I am doing fine just crazy excited and it feels like it is so close yet so far away!!! Had date night tonight w margaritas and no baby, very much needed lol!!! Did you get to go riding this past weekend???

Kicking it... That is great and I bet they look hot!!!! That is great to hear also about your girlfriend because that is where a lot of my pain generates and causes my migraines, lord knows I don't need to add to all of that!!! Lol !!! I am glad she got to get her tatas without any extra pain as well!!! Every woman should get to be a woman whether sick or otherwise! What what... Hehe!!!!

Hi Lymie .. no, I didn't ride but I helped my daughter tack up her really big horse (making sure that would not be a problem) and exercised while she rode LOL - jogged a little, used some jumps for step ups, did squats and some walking lunges. I am sore LOL. Maybe this weekend I will finally ride. :)

Hi No More... Wow, crazy!!!! Yeah we gotta keep our figures as good as we can at the same time! Right!!! Lol!!! I am still trying to lose weight!!! But the lipo will help w that!!! Hehe!!! But you got it girl you look good!!! But that's why... You workout!!! That's what it takes!!! I am worried cause I do Zumba and hip hop abs and I don't want to slow down cause I am finally losing!!!
