30 Years Old, Athlectic, A Cup, No Children 445 CC Natrelle Implants

Three days before surgery: After reading so many reviews on here which have helped me and answered questions I have had over the last few months, I decided I should contribute one as well :) I have debated on getting breast implants for the last ten years and have finally decided to just go for it. My surgery is scheduled in three days from now! I am excited and nervous, still wondering if I am making the right decision or not. I have chosen 445 cc , Silicone, Natrelle Medium Profile implants. I have decided to have them placed in the sub-glandular position and not in the sub-muscular position. My doctor did recommend sub-muscular for a more natural appearance and better aesthetic results over the long term but weight lifting and fitness is extremely important to me and I do not want to even risk losing strength when lifting ( even though most people regain all strength) and I do not want to have to stop training upper body for an extended period of time. I will also post long term follow up pictures as I felt I was having trouble finding photos of athletic women who had sub-glandular implants placed, starting from a very low cup size and never having breast fed. I am concerned about how tight my skin is to begin with so hopefully my story and review can help someone else one day. I will post before and after pics after surgery, along with info about the recovery.
9 Days Post Op: I am now 9 days post op and very happy with the results so far! Day 1 was manageable as I was on a lot of medication and painkillers from the surgery. I was in a very good mood and very happy to see the doctor was able to fit the 445cc. I have been put to sleep before but panicked a little and was very resistant to it this time but once I was asleep I had a nice dream about my mom for an hour :) When I woke up I was trembling alot so they gave me some medication to stop that. I spent about an hour in recovery and then my husband took me home. I watched TV most of the day but would still get out of bed to walk around. The first day really wasn't too bad. I took two regular tylenol every 4 hours. I did not use the narcotics that were prescribed at all. Day 2 was worse and Day 3 had the most pain but again, I was able to manage it with Tylenol. Day 4 and 5, I gained more mobility in my arms and by day 6 I was back at work. Day 7-8, I noticed the implants drastically reduce in swelling, the tightness on my chest is much less than it was and I went out for the first time since the operation to show them off a little :) Today is day 9 and I still will get a little pain here and there but the tightness is almost completely gone. I was so scared I would feel like I couldn't breathe with implants but I feel like I can get the same deep breath I always did. I believe that having strong chest muscles has helped with this. I will keep updating this review as I had trouble finding long term progress pics of sub-glandular implants in athletic women. All in all, so far, I am happy with my decision. ( I don't look so athletic right now with all the water retention from surgery but it is going down!)
