I love my body, I work hard to maintain my body. No amount of calorie counting or hours invested in the gym will change my breasts though. I had invested nearly 1000$ in the expensive -bombshell- bras so that everyone already thought I was a Full C Cup (even though I was an AA). I felt like a very attractive young lady but needed a chest to feel like a sexy, mature woman.

I Felt no pain, just tightness, I'd do it again. The only negatives are other peoples' ignorance. That is by far the biggest CON in the world.

Yesterday, I finally made an appearance at my place of work. (when I say made an appearance, I MEAN it. EVERY coworker was counting the days with me until my surgery.) So, go in yesterday. Wearing a tank top with built in bra and low cut, tight shirt. First response from the first 5 people I ran into was "WHY IS THE RIGHT BIGGER THAN THE LEFT?" I was so self-conscious all night after that. But a good friend reminded me that most people are un-educated on how this surgery really goes and I'm only one-week post-op. My advice? Don't go posting it on facebook- Don't tell it to your extended friend's fling. Keep it to a small circle. Then no one has high expectations about anything.

Sounds like one side may be more swollen than the other. Smart to keep it to a small circle, but hard when you're excited and an open person! Thanks for posting here on RealSelf.

I agree keeping it to a small circle. I didn't tell a soul at work as I wanted to keep it private and didn't think it was professional telling people. Plus all the stares, gossip that goes along with that as well, its not worth it. I decided to only tell one family member, couple of friends and my hubby of course. People are now finding out, but after the procedure, now that I know everything went fine and they look good. My PS told me both sides are never going to be the same. I agree with Angie, it's probably just swelling. I think people are not only uneducated but also quick to judge and probably just jealous too! Ignore those people and be proud of what you've done.... I think good on you, and I too would do this again in a heartbeat!

Hi Public Nickname,

 

You are right people are just uneducated about how the procedure goes.  With one week post op each breast heals differently... completely normal.  How are you doing now? When people gossip they usually are just jealous because they want one too. :)
