Well I've never been big chested to begin with but they always have fit my body now forward yearssssss ahead and now married with two children and with the rewards of motherhood also come the downsides my body was left marked stretched and pretty much left for dead lol ok maybe not that bad. But let's say my confidence was none existent self esteem left the building years ago. So finally talked with my husband and obviously (such a guy) he said whatever would make me happy and if I really was serious to go for it! It was all surreal calling and scheduling consultations finally found one paid in full again I'm just going with the motion doing all this yet having no idea what I'm doing! Days leading up to my procedure were nerve wrecking as I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks yeah I WAS HAVING FULL BLOWN EPISODES I really wanted to back out maybe this was a mistake what if something happens to me all because my vanity got the best of me? NO! I had to stop seeing it that way I had to see if for what is was ... unhappiness I was not happy with who I saw in the mirror I had lost myself I am 33yrs old what's so wrong with wanting to feel sexy and to look it too? So it's DONE! I chose 400CCs and PS decided on 415CCs day if I am 4days post op and yeah it's been a struggle with two children I feel less involved around the house and because of the weather they ended up sick now and my PS specifically said to stay away from sick people because I am more open to getting sick get an infection and it can be bad so now my kids are sick and I feel terrible not being able to hug them and have them near me but I'm trying to stay positive this is temporary right now I may be a little sad but I will heal and I'll be back to normal mommy who smothers then with kisses and love and I'll be a better person because I will no longer secretly envy women on my daily outings I will be more confident and definitely more happy.

Day 5
So I know it's still early in this but I notice my right is coming down from the swelling more than the left and I don't know if I like how smaller the right looks lol im probably just being impatient because I know they need to drop and fluff before they get the actual size but it is a little noticeable that the right is bigger than the left lol -_-

First week 7 day Post Op
Well my left is still so much more swollen than my right one and I'm still getting needle like pokes in the left one which isint a excruciating pain but it is uncomfortable and just like alerting OWWW
You are very sweet! I pray the gods take it easy on you for awhile. I often wonder what the hell I did to [RS bleep] them off as I consider myself to be a very kind soul but there were times where I was like "really?! You throw THIS at me?!" We both need white flags hanging outside our homes - enough! We surrender!
Here's a mantra for you: My body. My life. NO regrets!
My advice to you is DO NOT HAVE MAMMOGRAMS with implants! Even my PS is like, "Noooo, tell them you have 'difficult breast tissue' and always insist on an MRI". He is actually going to schedule them for me going forward. He says my breasts are now under "his jurisdiction". HA! (Yes, my hubby was in the room when he said that!)
Funny...two days ago I got my annual letter telling me it is time for my mammo! That was 'recycled' almost immediately!
Don't fret about your breasts changing. THEY. LOOK. AWESOME. and they always will. This is just the start of a new life for you! One with boobies!!
I like you! We'd get along juuuuuust fine! I told my hubby about your husbands comment about the full body cast. Without skipping a beat he said, "well, better make sure it's crotchless!!" :-D
I didn't stay the same size. I went up to a size I SHOULD have done all those (26) years ago but didn't have the balls to do so. I started out with NOTHING (as you know) and I think I was only like barely a 34B with my 280cc implants (under muscle).
THIS time I explained what result I was looking for and my PS advised that I get Mentor 500cc Smooth Round Moderate implants. He. was. so. right. I am now a very happy and fully perky 34D! WOW! AND, because these are a revision, I won't go through all the hardness, etc. stuff that you will deal with. Mine are already soft and dropped and fluffed - LOVE it!! He said I will see full results in 6 weeks (and he doesn't expect much to change between now and then..just a little more 'settling') where for you newbie-boobies, it may take up to a year.
I'm still on workout restriction for another 4 weeks. SUCKS. But, in the meantime, I'm treating myself to Fraxel for spots on my chest and legs and also a micro-something facial peel...waiting for a callback on what the heck it exactly is but from what I understand, I go in, they put a cream/gel on my face, and then things get taut and over the next 7 days, I molt. After that, beautiful skin! No pain, no nothing. Fingers crossed!
Got my stitches pulled on Monday - piece o'cake and everything looks really good. Can't start scar treatment (Scar Away strips) for another two weeks. Got those and my Bio-Oil all ready to go!
How's the knee today?
