I've always been pretty self confident and happy with my imperfect and very asymmetrical breasts, but this is a decision 10 years in the making. I didn't truly fully develop until I was in college and have been about a 34D since. After focusing on fitness and lifting weights, I am more like a soft 34C. I can't wear a lot of the clothing or swimsuits I want and do not even go around the house without a bra. I first consulted a PS about 10 years ago and just couldn't justify the cost. I feel that I've waited long enough and will no doubt have this surgery eventually, so I met with a different PS closer to home in August and scheduled for surgery on 9/23/14 (that's tomorrow!). We initially decided on 397cc but after some further discussion on my desire to be a full D (and I read too often here that most would have chosen a little larger), we have decided on 457cc moderate profile below the muscle. The PS will be removing some tissue from my left side to help with the asymmetry. My left side is also wider and while I do not expect a perfect result, it is expected to appear much more even. I wouldn't ever share such a personal experience, but reviews from others have helped me so much with my questions and anxiety that I feel like I should share. I am nervous and excited!

Here's a pic of my all wrapped. I go back tomorrow to have it removed. Surgery lasted for a few hours. My PS ended up doing 397cc on the left and 457cc on the right. I trust him SO much and he believes doing it this will have e much better result for my gel silicone implants. I was pretty sore when we drove home, but feeling quite a bit better tonight. I am trying so hard to do nothing and not clean the house etc. haha! I will keep on the pain meds and will for the next few days then I will play it by ear. My daughter is so sweet -- she made a Get Well banner in my bedroom. And my husband has an oh-so-perfect scarf for me when I got into the car (It is a Kentucky blue and white scarf with little shimmer all over it).

The pain is less than I thought it would for the first day. I am setting my alarm for throughout the night so I can get up and walk and not get too stiff.

My husband told me some of the weird and funny things I said when I was coming to. Evidently, I used the F word quite frequently and found a way to work it in to every sentence! I remember NONE of it. So, ladies, if you've never had anesthesia before, prepare your spouse, girlfriend, boyfriend or significant other for a good time after the surgery! I apparently voiced my correct opinion of how much harder women have it than men. My husband said even the nurse was pretty amused by it.

I am afraid I am going to freak when I get the wrap off tomorrow but I know what the results will be after about 4, 6, 12, 26 weeks.... So I vow to RESPECT THE PROCESS!!!!

Happy Monday y'all!

@FeelMeUpButtercup........Overall the pain is not anywhere close to what I thought it would be. I go back in the morning and have my wraps taken off. My pain meds are only 5mg of Percocet. I take 2 together every 4 hours, sometimes 3 hours if the pain is coming back on. I have had a C-section which caused me a much greater amount of pain than this surgery. I made the mistake of watching videos of this type of surgery and because of it, I was really nervous. But - the hospital was awesome and I don't remember a thing after the first little IV med that the anesthesiologist gave me. The pain meds definitely don't help me sleep so Just took a dose of children's Benadryl. Haha! That's the only thing that helps on a regular basis and it works wonders without making me feel groggy in the morning. Good luck with your surgery!!! Please let us know how it went!! I am sssooooo happy I had it done. I'm sure you will too, but the days leading up to it are pretty nerve racking!

I had surgery yesterday too. TT with mastoplexy (worked around implants). I hope some of my size has been left as I have major swelling but obvious size difference. I was a 36 d and had to buy cloths so much bigger. Good luck!
