After a decade plus of mulling over whether or not to get a BA I have finally decided to go through with it! I am 28, 5'9", 160 lbs, and a 36 small B...alright lets be honest full A :/ In all honesty if I could loose the weight I've gained and maintain my oh so discreet "larger" breasts, I probably wouldn't be getting a ba. Unfortunately my upper body is the last place I gain weight and the first place I loose it.

I am doing periareola, submuscular, smooth silicone and giving a range of 450 to 500 cc...I hope that’s not too big. I want a natural looking full shape but I don’t want my breasts to be the first thing noticed. On top of getting a BA I decided to get a little lipo hehehe I figured I’m already under, why not! Even when I was in my best shape I still had saddle bags :( It’s a part of my body I’ve never been able to tone up.

Well that’s it for now and my next post will be post surgery. I’ll post pics shortly too.

Day 1 1/2 post surgery and I'm doing really well....

Day 1 1/2 post surgery and I'm doing really well. Yesterday I had a total 1 1/2 Vicodin and today I've only had 1/2. I've been sleeping A LOT, which has felt amazing!! I've been walking around a bit when I'm awake.

The only complications I've had so far are do to the anesthesia. I was violently ill post surgery (one of the nurses said I looked like Linda Blair from the Exorcist...). I wasn't in pain from the surgery itself, I was just sick. Finally a nurse working on another patient suggested putting an oxygen mask on me. It helped tremendously. My other complication is a swollen uvula (the hanging thing in the back of your throat). I read that this can be caused by general anesthesia or from the breathing tube. It's very weird & uncomfortable...it feels like I'm swallowing my uvula (it hangs past the back of my tongue...yuck I know). Fortunately from what I've read this will go away on it's own, but could last for a week or more.

Two weeks post-op and what have I learned...I can't take selfies. Sorry for the poor photos. I went back to work 4 days post-op and did rather well I think (I have a desk job). Driving was probably the most complicated, I had to move my seat rather close to the steering wheel. I have felt like a pumpkin since my surgery, mainly b/c I have been wearing loose fitting tops w/ scarfs almost every day to work. I only told three people I was getting a BA.
I'm still wearing an ace bandage to help my implants drop. They have dropped significantly since my surgery, but when I wear a t-shirt w/o a bra they still look moderately lifted. My breasts still feel rather firm but I can't feel the implant itself, unless I'm doing my massage exercises. I can't wait for these suckers to drop and feel normal!
