Finally getting sound to doing a post! My husband said as much as this site as helped me, I should return the favor :-) Original stats 43 yrs old, breastfeed two kids (now 9 &11), very active, 126lbs, about 5'6, originally 32A. In my pics you may or may not notice a line from under my belly button (it goes down into my underwear about 4 inches, 4 years ago, I had to have a massive hysterectomy due to an 8lb mass that destroyed my pelvic region). But w/lots of good scar cream and moisturizers it is not terribly noticeable, keeping in mind I had 21 staples, kind of gutted like a fish ;-)

I originally thought I would be getting mod + but my PS said my bwd was narrow and I have a small thin bone structure, she said I would have boobs coming out of my armpits with mod +. Also 450cc was as high as I could go, apparently my chest depth and other anatomical factors would prevent going any bigger at this time. But I am thrilled with the results so far!!!!

I only have two pre-op photos, they are on my husband's phone, so I will download those this week.
I will have to say I wasn't in a lot of pain the first week, but I cried bc they look awful initially, I am a very modest person, so to go from 32A to 32D/DD was a HUGE (.)(.) ( . )( . ) change!!! I don't like taking meds and fortunately I have a high pain tolerance, I only took 1/2 a percocet for 3 days at night, IBP for a few days, a couple Tylenol here and there. Stopped all OTC pain meds by 5th day.

All the photos I am posting today are 13 days post-op. Right breast is slightly more swollen than left. PS said that gave her a little trouble getting the implant in so it doesn't surprise her. If it wash't for this wonderful site, I would have been completely freaking out this entire time. This site is so wonderful, also helping in guiding me in what I want my breast to look like!!! You all are wonderful!!! I will continue to post as recovery moves along!

Oh wow!! Beautiful results. I can tell on e the swelling goes down they will look even more gorgeous. They do "shrink" after several weeks, so no worries about being too big -- they get softer and smaller and perfect looking. Congrats!!!

I am feeling like you were about the size! I got 435 cc hp and feel like they are too big for my body :( and such a drastic change... I was getting ready to go out to the store ans had to change my shirt several times because I look huge with all my shirt and I thought I made a mistake going so big. I started reading on this page and realized I have to wait for the final results as I'm barely 1 week post op. Thank you for your post it helped a lot!

Pain free, sleeping great. Finally getting some energy back! The right still looks a little bigger, but it also looks like it is beginning it's decent, hope the other one follows soon! You will see by my pics (still can't believe I am posting them) I am very conservative. I know a lot of you ladies love Victoria's Secret (and u all look great in it), I am just not a push-up bra gal, hopefully with the new girls on board I won't want a push-up for a while ;-)

Aww, cmon VS has nice stuff! ;p It's not ALL pushup! I don't wear the VS pushups - but I love the padded's and need the pads not for boob-enlargement, but bcz I have MAJOR headlights and need the pads to mask them under my clothes! LOLOLOL

Pain free, sleeping great! I will be glad when they drop and fluff. I was afraid I would want bigger, but I wanted them to fit my body proportionately, I think so far that has been accomplished :-)

Thank you, that is very sweet! I just looked at your profile, I think your pre-boobs looked amazing to me! Wish I had that to start!!! I can't believe you are 51, you look amazing and very youthful. Just try and rest, if you don't it will catch up with you. Resting is really the best medicine. Your post op look fabulous, I would think you will be the same size as me when all the swelling goes down and they D&F. You had a lot more than I did to start, you will be surprised. Keep posting can't wait to see!!! Happy recovery :-)!!!

Thanks - that's what I have to remind myself when I see women who got more cc's than me and I like how they look - I have to remember that I started with a little bit more so hopefully my 339's will do the job. Yours are amazing and beautiful , I hope mine turned out as gorgeous! I'm going to post them six-day pics today but I know they have a long way to go to be they drop and fluff
