475/500 Mentor High Profile Implants-37 Year Old Mom of 3 Breastfed for 9 Years

I have been following this site for a few years now. I have 3 children ages ranging rom 5-10.5 years old. I did extended breastfeeding with all of them and ended up breastfeeding for 9 years in total. I had always talked with my husband about wanting to have implants after finishing up breastfeeding as a gift to myself to perk things back up again. So about 4 years ago I started following this site to begin the research phase. All of the stories and pictures have been SO helpful, so thank you to everyone who has shared their journey!! I am 5'8" and 130 pounds. I was a 32c-34b before surgery. I ended up deciding on 475/500 high profile, round Mentor implants. One of my breasts is slightly larger than the other, so this was to even things out. I had my surgery yesterday. I am swollen and sore, but not as bad as I would have expected. I think maybe it's because my breasts have stretched like this before with breastfeeding. I got up to a 32DDD with breastfeeding and loved my size then. My worst pain is in my sternum and my incision lines. I am trying to take it easy, but our house is busy with 3 younger kids. My husband has been really supportive, so hoping the next few weeks of recovery go well. Please offer any advice if you have any. Currently they are hard, high and sore. But I think I am happy with the results. I am excited to see how they start to settle.

Yesterday was the day of surgery. I was terrified going in! Everything went pretty smoothly though and I woke up with big changes! The pain was pretty tolerable at first. It hurt the most in my sternum area, more pressure than pain at first. Here's a few pictures a few hours after I got home.

Swollen, sore, and bloated!
