38yo, 175lbs Was a Very Small A Cup Now Has 700cc Mentor Moderate Plus Silicone - Nashville, TN

I have had the same size boobs since I was 12. They never got any bigger when I had children or if I gained weight. I couldn't breast feed because I never produced enough milk. So they weren't saggy they just weren't there. I have been wanting implants for over 20 years. Every female in my family has had BA so I'm the last one. Well I finally did it! I chose Dr. Hueneke in Nashville, TN. He helped me select the perfect size for my body type. I have a wide chest and need a pretty large implant to cover the area and give me a nice profile. I tried in several dozers in the office but narrowed them down to 3 sizes. 600, 650 and 700cc. They seemed huge in my mind because after reading so many reviews on here most people were going less than 500ccs. However, I am not petite or skinny. I am 5'6" 175lbs with a large chest and rib cage. On me anything below 600ccs was just too small. I decided to let my PS pick the final size in the OR based on what looked and fit the best. Today was my surgery day and I was super nervous but everyone was so great and put me at ease. I woke up a happy woman. A little uncomfortable but not unbearable. Dr Hueneke chose the 700cc. I was sent home in a front close sports bra and some gauze over my incisions. That's it! Dissolvable sutures and dermabond for my incisions. They are frankenboobs right now but thanks to all the helpful reviews I know that this is temporary. They still look great. I am so happy. I go for my post op appt in one week.

I am sore but it's manageable. I have been taking Tylenol and Motrin around the clock. No narcotics. The hardest part is getting up from lying in bed. Once I'm up its pretty sore for a little while until everything settles then it's ok. Feels good to move around some. Just walking around the house. No lifting or bending. My PS called and checked on me last night. I will see him next week. His only concern was the crease under my right breast. He tried to release it but will take some time to see if the implant will fill it out. I'm not worried about it right now. I have taken a few pics without my sports bra on. I'm happy with the results so far. I know the shape will change gradually. Waiting for the hubby to get home so I can shower. He will have to wash my hair. I have kept ice packs on them multiple times today and my swelling is minimal.

Soreness is getting better. I can get out of bed without help now. I go back to work tomorrow. I have pretty much taken it easy but can tell if I am doing to much. They are looking fuller and the creases are filling out a little.
