27 Years Old, No Kids, 475cc OVER Muscle
ORIGINAL POST
I finally went in for my BA consult in August....
$6,000
I finally went in for my BA consult in August. I've been interested in this procedure for a long time because I am not happy with the size and shape I naturally have and finally just scheduled for a consult to see what my options were. Right now I am wearing 34C bra but it doesn't fit as well as it used so, so I'm probably closer to a B cup. I had planned on doing 350cc under muscle (just from some research and talking with friends who have had it done). After my pre op consultation last week (2 weeks before surgery), my surgeon recommended 475cc silicone implant over the muscle. I showed him some pictures of what I was looking to get for results and he felt that was the best option for sizing. I was pretty nervous when he suggested over muscle instead of under, only because of what I read online (if it's on the internet it has to be true, right? Lol). Anyway, he explained that some things I had read about over the muscle were myths. I am very active, play volleyball and I workout and lift weights 5-6 days/ week. He explained that if I go under the muscle, the implant can be visible and move around whenever the muscle contracts. He said I have enough tissue to begin with that placing the implant over the muscle, I will not be able to see or feel the implants. Surgery is this Friday and I can't wait! Please excuse my pre-op picture, they look uneven and lopsided but I just was in a hurry when I took it. More updates in a few days!

Day of treatment
Surgery complete! Woohoo!!
For some stupid reason, I've always had a fear of IVs. I am licensed to give anesthesia at my work, I have a tattoo and needles don't bother me. I wasn't nervous for the actual surgery, just the IV placement. The first nurse tried to place my IV and I told her how awesome it was because it barely hurt and she calmed my anxiety. Then I realized, it wasn't all the way in the vein like it was supposed to be. She couldn't get it to move and had to take it out. I ended up being stupid and looking at it, thinking I'd be fine since it didn't hurt. Wrong. Ended up getting super sweaty and lightheaded and everything went black. They finally got my iv placed by someone else and wheeled me back into surgery where I got the best nap of my life (that anesthesia is for real awesome). Most reviews I have seen the implants look really high, swollen and rectangular, but mine didn't come out like that (maybe because we went over muscle instead of under?). I looked at mine and I'm shocked with how much I love them already! I've had no nausea, no side effects and not much pain, just some pressure and soreness like I lifted too heavy weights on chest day. I'm sure the swelling and pain is coming but for now I'm on cloud 9. I'll add in pictures soon. Thank you everyone for the support and for those who shared their experience which helped give me courage to do something I never thought I'd do!

Definitely feeling more sore today but nothing unbearable. I'll probably end up staying in bed keeping up with the pain meds ;) ice packs are currently my best friend. the worst part is our dog not understanding why I can't play fetch and tug of war with him! Haha I do think my surgeon nailed the size I was going for! Hard to judge them until they drop though.

Congratulations! Thanks for sharing your photos. You look awesome! I'm glad the pain isn't too bad. Are your incisions painful at all?

For some reason my right incision is more painful than the left. I don't have much pain in general, it's more uncomfortable, tight and annoying. I accidentally took pain meds the other day on an empty stomach and I won't ever make that mistake again! Other than that it's not too bad!

Honestly they are hard to see. He said he did internal stitches and covered it with skin glue so I can't see much of the actual incision. I assume they are healing fine haha
