So before my son was born I had very nice breasts...

So before my son was born I had very nice breasts I was a full C and always had cleavage and compliments from my close girlfriends. I had my little guy in 2013 . I was very serious about breast feeding him because I wanted to give him a good start to life , something I can actually give my child. I didn't mind doing it even though I knew that my beautiful perky large breasts would deflate in to sad deflated balloons . On top of that my left breast did not produce enough milk so my son favored the right side . After one year of breast feeding I stopped and was left with two asymmetrical deflated breasts. I still didn't mind because I always loved my body in every shape and form but I still gave surgery a thought because I was worried about summer season and splashing in the water with my son and just picturing the stuffing from my left side floating away gave me anxiety. So I talked to one of my girlfriends who have had breasts augmented and she referred me to Dr. Hasell in lethbridge alberta . I booked my consult and waited 7 months to get in . It was a long wait but it didn't feel so long because I was still unsure if I wanted to do it or not . I kept changing my kind even after I booked my surgery. What gave me the actually jolt to do it I still haven't figured it out however I do not regret it . I am sooo excited that I don't have to worry about being lopsided ever again ! My surgery was this April 28 th 2015 i got my husband / we aren't married so boyfriend to drive me and sometimes it's best to go with a girlfriend because your nerves are all wacky that day and girlfriends just know what to say and husbands are like " why are you doing this , and you look fine " that didn't help me. I really wished I got my girlfriend she would have made my experience much more calming . But anyways I got there got signed in got weighed ! The nurse started iv for me and I just stayed in my room and waited for them to take me in to surgery . Every one was very nice and calming and Dr. Hasell was very informative and knowledgeable he too some pictures and answered some more of my questions and off we went . I had a mask put on my face and they injected the medication in to my iv it stung so bad I remember saying omg that hurts. But then I fell asleep. I woke up after surgery feeling very cold but the wrapped me up in warm blankets and I felt better. Then they moved me back in to my room and I got changed in to my clothes the nurse took out my iv and I was free to leave with a perscription for perks. I definetly needed them for about 3 days after the pain was horrible the pressure on my chest felt like I couldn't breath the recovery for me wasn't as easy as some girls say it was for them. I am on my fifth day and still not feeling the best . I started experiencing muscle spasms on top of my breasts last night and the pain was horrible I txted dr. Hasell if I could take robaxacet for the muscle spasms and he said absolutely only not to take Tylenol or perks because it's the same kind of family and I can overdose. I took robaxacet and I feel much better only I wouldn't suggest to do anything like driving while taking them because it made me feel floaty. My breasts right now look like they are rectangular shaped lots of top boob on the top and nipples facing low but I have read and also talked to dr. Hasell and it's very normal and that's just how it's suppose to be. I have read some reviews and the non medical term for drop and fluff is suppose to happen between 4 -6 weeks and in some cases longer . So I'm not worried . Looking at my breasts now I'm so happy that they are the same size and they do look like they will look nice when the settle in. My nipples are a bit different shape and size because of the stretching more on the right side after breast feeding but it's only a centimeter off and only noticeable if I take a picture of them however looking in the mirror or some one else looking at them wouldn't notice a difference . I have no clue why taking a picture emphasizes the nipple difference but it doesn't bother me at least I don't have to stuff my left side ever again when I am wearing a bra or a bath insult . I am trying to be patient with my body and give if time to heal but as every mommy knows life is never calm with a two year old so it's really tough . I haven't showed my weakness to my husband because I don't need him to say well you did this to your self . So maybe that's keeping me strong I think that if I had a more sweet and nurturing person by my side I would have probably fallen apart a few times because of the pain and being so uncomfortable sleeping sitting up my back hurts. I have had some ready moments by my self but I told my self to get strong and get going it's just apart of healing . I will post some pictures of my before breasts and my post day 1, 2, 3,4

grrr the damn auto correct

Sorry for the mis spelled words auto correct is annoying it sometimes changes the whole word and then I just read over my review and noticed a few mistakes

I forgot to mention

I forgot to mention that I got mentor gummy bear implants . My right side got 345 ccs and my right side got 365 ccs or 360 I don't actually remember exactly . I will be going for a 6 week post op check and I'll find out then . As long as they look even I don't care really . All I said to dr. Hasell I am not a [RS bleep] star I am a mom I just want even and natural looking happy boobies !
