ORIGINAL POST

Well, I'm going for my breast augmentation...

WORTH IT$4,500

Well, I'm going for my breast augmentation tomorrow and I have to be honest - I'm scared.
A bit of history about me: I'm 21 years old, I've nursed one child, and I'm very unhappy with the current state of my breasts. I'm an uneven, saggy, 36A. Depressing!
I'm praying that my life changes tomorrow for the better! I'm going at 6am for my breast augmentation. I'm getting Allergan Natrelle saline high profiles- 465cc overfilled to 475cc(R) and 500cc(L)

After looking at (literally.....) 1000's of boobs online, I finally found the look I want to achieve, but I'm afraid that because of the sagging that is already present, that isn't a realistic goal. I've also freaked myself out by looking at every possible scenario of what could go wrong, both medically speaking and physical appearance-wise. I want to avoid the "cow-tit" look, as I call it, and I definitely want to avoid torpedo-boob.

I'm really nervous, but I'll do my best to keep you all posted on the actual procedure and recovery. Wish me luck!!

Good luck to you! Your biggest fears are everybody's fears. If we all gave into them, none of us would have had our boobs done!
Keep us posted!!

Texas, you are probably home right now sleeping away. I hope when you awake, all your fears have subsided. Looking forward to reading more.

Hiya tex~ good luck on your upcoming surgery! Have you talked with your doctor about possibly getting a lift? That may help avoid the "cow tit" look. However, you may not need one. I went to several different doctors before my BA and one suggested a lift and others did not. Very glad I did not need one, mine are quite perky now! Look forward to seeing the post op piks soon.:-)

My surgery was 9/4, and it is now 9/6. Truthfully,...

My surgery was 9/4, and it is now 9/6. Truthfully, I can't remember anything other than bits and pieces since the BA.
That valium is some strong stuff....The main thing I remember is absolute pain and nausea.

BA DAY- the procedure went well. I was incredibly nervous about the IV needle and the anesthesia but I made it through. I woke up incredibly sore and cranky. When I was released, my husband brought me home, put me in a recliner, gave me my meds, and I slept all day long. BTW- If youre getting a BA and you have a recliner, I suggest using it! I would avoid laying down flat on a bed at all costs! It is way too difficult and painful to try to get up out of the bed.

Day 1 Post Op - We went in for my post-op checkup. That was the first time I got to see them. To be honest,
I don't like the way they look because it resembles Spongebob Sqaureboob. I'm hoping that when they drop it'll look better. I also do not like how large the areola is....to me it looks like pepperoni. My husband says it looks fine. Anyway, day 1 post -op, I definitely have torpedo boobs. After the check up, we came back home and I got back in my recliner. I was in an incredible amount of pain, it even hurt to breathe. Later in the afternoon, my husband helped me to the shower so I could get clean and feel better. He also washed my hair for m....Ladies, I wouldn't try washing it on my own if I were you because it hurt horribly. Thats about all I remember from yesterday.

Day 2 Post Op - Obviously they are still swollen and incredibly sore. I'm a little more coherent which is why I'm posting. They are still riding very high too. I love the view when I look down into my bra because I have cleavage, but if I take that off and look in the mirror, it's still Frankenboob. The pain meds and muscle relaxers are still needed. For the first time I was able to get up and walk by myself so I'd consider that progress. Painful, but progress..... I'm still extremely bloated from all of the IV saline. The PS said that's natural and that itll come out on its own.

Things I recommend for the first few days - straws. It's hard to lift a csn or bottle and drink, so straws were a life saver.

Day 2 Post Op again.... I'm not entirely sure...

Day 2 Post Op again....
I'm not entirely sure where the band is supposed to go or how tight it is supposed to be. I also have no idea when I'm supposed to start massaging. I'd kill for an ice pack right now but my PS said no....odd. Also, on one of my valium rounds, I managed to put a tshirt on by myself and I have no idea why I did it. Ugh.

Hi, when your up to it please update us. I'm hoping everything went well. Your breast look like mine so I am hoping to see how yours went without a lift. Good luck!

Thanks for the update! I'm sorry you're in so much pain, but ice ice ice...and take your pain meds!! Personally, I don't think your aerolas look too big. They were big before, but now they are just higher up! Keep up posted & enjoy that recliner@

Hey tex, sorry to hear about your pain. My doctor suggests ice 20 minutes each hour for the first 72 hours after that, heat. I figure he's the expert so I plan to do exactly as instructed. I won't have my first post-op until Tuesday but I'm not wrapped in anything so I've seen my girls (so far so good). I hope you're feeling better soon.

You look good. Will check back to see when they fluff and drop. I didn't recieve a script for valium. I think that is a nice addition to the med cocktail for something like this. I have big areolas too. I guess we could always get nipple reduction if we stay unhappy with the nipple size. I don't know about you but only one person sees my nipples and he never said they were big (not that I would care cuz it only matters how I feel about the subject in the end). I can't imagine having someone cut around my nipples!

I had the "frankenboob" look after surgery too, Tex. That's completely normal. You should start to see a dramatic change in shape/appearance around the 8 week mark. That's when things get really exciting and you'll start doing the Happy Dance!!! LOL
