Getting the Boobies Of my Dreams - Minneapolis, MN

I'm a 5'9", 145 lb woman who has been stuck with 34B breasts since I was 18. I had children when I was 20 and 21; breastfeeding left my breasts hallow and not nearly as exciting as I wanted them to be. Recently, my husband and I have had some issues conceiving and it has left us both exhausted. I decided that it was time to put up or shut up and thought that some nice, big boobies would be a great distraction.

I met with two doctors in the Minneapolis area, Dr. Fasching and Dr. Tholen. Both great doctors who took plenty of time and care but it was Dr. Tholen's staff that made up my mind for me. It was reassuring that much of his staff was enhanced and freely spoke of their experiences.

Both consults were on the 23rd of October. On the 25th, we decided to call in and schedule. It just so happened that Dr. Tholen had a cancellation on October 31 so we went for it! I was elated that I wasn't going to have to wait.

The day of the surgery was pretty fantastic. I went into work for awhile then left for my 1:15 surgery time. During the surgery, he implanted 700 cc silicone implants under the muscle via an inframmary incision.

Today marked my second day back at work and my first day of taking as little Tylenol as possible. For being five days post op, I feel so much better than I thought possible. There is very little bruising ( just a little above the incisions) and the swelling has gone down a lot in the last 48 hours. My boobs are still very high and tight and don't seem to have dropped at all the last few days. Kinda anxious for them to be pretty!

I looked up the Keller funnel that was used in my surgery and am so happy that my doctor used that method keeping my incision so tiny. If you don't know what it is, check it out on YouTube; super interesting.

Anxious for my check up on Friday even though everything has been fine. Also anxious for my boobies to stop gurgling!

Today was a little tough. I've been having some pain on my right side along the bottom edge of the implant. It's like a sharp, burning pain that has reoccurred since the surgery. Wondering if anyone else has had a similar issue? Since it is on my dominant side, I wonder if I over exerted myself or did my massages too aggressively. My doctor has recommended since the day after surgery that I use a strong, straight hand, place it on my breast parallel to the floor right below the areola and push toward my ribcage. I have to do this every three hours but it gets easier every day. Also having a lot of tightness- I need to be better about taking my muscle relaxers.

This weekend I will see some friends/ family that don't know about my 'enhancement.' Wonder what kind of reactions I will get :/
