The Ups and Downs of My Breast Augmentation Journey - New Zealand
ORIGINAL POST
Hi all, My decision to get a Breast Augmentation...
WORTH IT$11,250
Hi all, My decision to get a Breast Augmentation came fairly young as I never fully developed a bust like the rest of my friends. I did it to even out my body shape and feel more feminine. when summer time came around I was always self concious even to wear a singlet. I am 21 years old. It cost me NZD $15,000 which from what I can see on this site is more expensive than over in the USA. Pre-opp I was a small B cup and would love to be a full D cup.

Post opp day one.
High profile 435cc polyurethane implants
Yesterday (surgery day) was full of ups and downs.. When I woke from surgery I had no bra on or bandages. I woke up holding my left breast and looked down and thought oh my, did they not operate on me (was the most confusing thing I have ever experienced im not sure if it was the drugs but that was my first reaction) so I was expecting them to look a little bigger. I hope they do start to look like what I was expecting
my goal is to be a full D cup. I found the whole process of choosing a size very hard. couldnt decide between a 450cc or 435cc. I ended up with 435cc as doctor said that would fit in nicely for desired shape. My boobs have always been close together which the doctor said is great to start with but nipples were realy low so we had to place the implant 2-3cm lower than my natural breast fold so that my nipples did not end up pointing to the floor. Also had a small mole removed from the middle of my bust.
post opp I was feeling great. a little bit drowsy so kept drifting off to sleep but felt no pain -boobs were numb so couldnt feel them at all. but today post opp day 1 I feel like every time I go to move I have someone pushing be backwards with both hands, very hard to move.

Wow, you must be so excited!! I felt the same way after surgery. I didn't think they looked that big, I think it's a pretty common feeling. After, a couple days I thought they were actually too big! Your breast will change so much from the first day. I'm sure you will be at least a D with the size you went with. Congrats on your decision!

Day 2 A lot better than yesterday, can move in...
Day 2
A lot better than yesterday, can move in and out of bed with it not being painful like it was yesterday.
Im waking up almost every 2 hours to take different meds- will try change that tomorrow night so my sleep is not so disrupted. I have set 5 different alarms on my iPhone with different titles so I know what meds to take at what time which has been really helpful.
Went for a post op check up to get my bandages changed. When they took the bra off and changed the bandages I was too scared to even look so I just closed my eyes..I figured ill wait untill they are better healed before I take a peak. Was given a new bra as the first one I had was a bit too small (boobs were coming out the sides and it was too tight). now I have a bigger one that is more comfortable. They want me to go back on Friday so they can give me a band to help my boobs drop but I really dont think they are too high at all, but ill take it because they are the professionals so they know best.
Day 3 today
Feeling so so much better than day 1. hardly any pain now and I am able to sit up and move without much discomfort.
I got a friend to wash my hair today because I could not stand how oily it had gotten. Luckily I have a fully detachable shower head which made it easy. I bent over the shower and they fully washed it for me while we had a giggle (hurts a little bit to laugh).
The lower half of my boobs still feel a little numb and my nipples are so so swollen it looks truly hilarious.
I am getting used to sleeping while sitting up (have to do this for 3 weeks- no lower than 45 degrees) I wish I knew this before hand because I probably would of considered getting a lazi-boy chair. would of helped when trying to stand up.

Hello jink~ you fill out a bra nicely now. Funny how you reacted after seeing your breasts for the first time. I had the same reaction...I was like...they do not look much different? I thought they would be bigger & sticking out more. Lol It should take approx 2 months for your breasts to develop a pretty shape...Thanks for sharing your story:-)

Kooberry, a year later how does it all feel? I want to get the same implants...through the armpit insertion. Did you get it inserted this way or under the breast? Really looking for input from other people in NZ who have had it done here.
