Had breast augmentation 3 days ago Pain is tolerable. The immobility is the worst part. Breasts are high and hard. I went to dr Troy andreasen and I cannot say enough good things about him. I definatley reccomend him. I wasn't sure what size I will be with the 450 cc implant. I started off with a 36 deflated B cup. He put 450 cc in the right and 425 cc in the left. I can't wait to see the end result. I hope I end up with a D cup. For now it's hard to tell

Did you get gel or saline? I'm having a consult with this Dr. Next month.
February 17, 2014
With dr andreasen? You will love him. He will recommend what he thinks is best for your frame etc. he actually decided for me to go up 25 cc at day of surgery because I was debating sizes and I'm so glad he did. Mine are high right now but I can see them taking shape. The breast themselves do not hurt. It's the chest muscles and pressure in chest afterwards that hurts. I'm on day 4 and I'm feeling okay. I'm still taking it easy. Go with silicone though. They are more money but they feel so real and look real. All my Freinds with saline are switching to silicone. I will post pics so you can see results

Hi congrats! I had my BA done on valentines day, I am now on day 4. I had 525cc saline, smooth round unders. I am feeling great but they are riding very high and super tight!! I started with a very deflated B cup. How are you doing today??
February 17, 2014
I'm doing better! Day two and three are worst days but it is totally worth it!
February 18, 2014
Are the 525 cc huge? My 450s are seem large one day and small the next. I initially wanted a c cup small d but right before surgery I ditched the c cup. It's so frustrating Cus you don't know what size you'll end up! I see some people who started off a b cup with 450 cc end up a c cup and some up to a double d !

Hi my 525cc have A LOT of volume,although they are riding so high I can not tell exactly how large they will be I am assuming a large full D,according to my PS. I guess patience and healing will tell...:)
February 19, 2014
I went trying on bras today and fit into a DD I was in shock! I see my dr tommorow I'm hoping they go down to a full D right now there a lil large

February 19, 2014
Wow! That's exciting, I bet shocking too;) did yours drop much at all yet?! Keep me posted
February 20, 2014
no they are still high. they will be for a while. he said no massaging, no band, just let them move naturally. he said warm compresses can help the muscle relax. today the nipples are so sensitive. i did go back to work today. they still hurt! but its tolerable. how are yours doing?
February 24, 2014
how are you feeling now? still in pain? right now its the nipples that are the worst! i get stabbing shooting pains ! experienced that yet? or is it just me?

February 24, 2014
No more pain, but STILL RIDING HIGH. I am now wearing a bandeau to try to get them down, it's a little uncomfortable. I think I was thinking that I would come out of the BA procedure and look like a million bucks right away, but man was I WRONG;) I am also using the heating pad at night. A couple nights ago I woke up with the most horrible stinging feeling in lower part of breast,but I guess that's common in healing. I hope you keep feeling better and less pain very soon:) keep me posted.. Oh yes and back to work for me tomorrow, 9hours of doing hair, I am a teeny bit freAked! Good vibes for you to be pain free!!:)
February 25, 2014
On the bright side. We're in the same boat! I can't wait to sleep on my side and stomach again!
March 3, 2014
have you had the muscle spasms yet? like the muscle just grabs your implant and squeezes the hell out of it? good thing is i think were in the clear within the week! mine feel so much better and i am doing the heating pad also. and taking a pain reliever twice a day as reccommeded by my dr for swelling and pain
December 31, 2014
Were yours uneven like mine are at 14 days? I'm praying praying that I'm not having capsular contracture. Thanks! You look great btw!!

my incisions are under the breast in the crease. i think im getting a little boob greed today. apparently afther swelling goes down they are suppose to drop and fluff and get bigger but i just see the swelling going down and their looking smaller. its a mind thing these boobs play on you i think though. dr andreasen is awesome though. i havent experienced morning boob or anything and id never have any other plastic surgery done with anyone else. he is amazing. i originally was going to get saline until i felt a silicone implant. saline feels like a water balloon. the silicone is so soft and real feeling. even right now swollen and hard i can feel the silicone implant and its sift to the touch.

Wow he sounds great! What's your height? I'm only 5 ft and about 135 lbs. I want to get boobs that are a lil bigger rather than regret the size. But I don't want to look like a midget with giant boobs lol
February 18, 2014
he wont give you what he wont think will look good in you. im 5 ft 6 and went in at 142 i am now weighing 150 due ti swelling and implants lol. he told me hed only go no bigger then a 450 on me. he actually did 450cc on right side and 425cc on left. i was uneven and may still have to have a niple lift in september but hed do that in office. we postponed that one because dr a hates scars!

Did you go under or over? still umming and erring at the moment!
February 18, 2014
Kit91. I went under. I never considered doing over. I highly recommend silicone unders. Going over gives you more of a chance of rippling or having an outline. If you go under just go up a little in size like 25cc or so.
February 18, 2014
ah thank you very much. I'm just worried about being able to press ups n things with them under!
February 18, 2014
DR andreasen ran over a silicone implant with his car and it didn't bust it you'll be fine lol
User Avatar
February 18, 2014
Lol! Did he do this as a test?
February 20, 2014
yes!!!!
February 18, 2014
Did you only pay $5000? No more no less? My friend went to see him and he quoted her 6k...he said that was the flat rate for silicone. Her procedure sounds like a simple one like yours. I'm trying to figure out which Dr to go with.
February 20, 2014
i was discounted with him because i am a previous patient of his. he knocks off a certain amount for return customers. i believe it is more then 6k for silicone with him. but hes worth 10k. i actually needed a nipple lift also on one side. btu we decided not to do that til afterwards maybe september. hands down. i wouldnt go to anyone but him. he doesnt try to haggle you into other procedures. there is no upselling. he will tell you straight up what you need and their is no pressure from him what so ever. i went to a few other places before i found him and as soon as i met him i knew he was the dr for me. so comfortable with him.
February 20, 2014
i think without my discount it was 6200 i cant be quoted on that tho. if you also refer people you get more of a discount i believe. i have had tons of freidns go to him but none of us referred each other. it was more like who did your boobs?
User Avatar
February 21, 2014
I hope he gives military discount lol
February 21, 2014
Hey he just might. You can certainly try it! You gotta remember these things are with you for ten to fifteen years! I wouldn't base getting them on how much they are. You get what you pay for. And I've seen some horrible 2500 boob jobs! One of my Freinds ended up spending 32000 on her 2500 dollar boob job that she had to have redone 4 times!

February 22, 2014
Oh no that's horrible! Well I booked my surgery date today with a wonderful Dr. In Corona! Eek! And I got two discounts off of his 6500 fee
February 24, 2014
are you going with silicone? im telling you girl go to dr andreasen. see if he price matches lol im at day 11 and still in pain. good luck. im finding i thought it would be an easy recovery! im hoping soon it all settles and pain is gone. what size are you going?

February 24, 2014
Ugh I got a text from his office about my upcoming consult and I told my husband well, maybe I should just go and see and he's like " No I already paid money towards your appointment" lol

February 24, 2014
Oh I'm going with 450 cc. I'm looking to be a small D cup. It looked too at first with the sizes but we all agreed its a good balance to my hips cuz I'm curvy. I'm actually gonna ask about 475 but that might be pushing it lol
February 27, 2014
i went wirth the 450cc and i wished at this point on some days that id gone with a 400cc or even 375cc lol im 5'6 and 142. ive heard they fluff out more when they drop. im hoping they dont get much bigger. it almost makes me look fat! but really the 475 isnt much bigger then 450cc its less then 1/4 of a cup.. with my experience even with the sizers you still dont get the size of the sizers. have you dont he rice sizers at home? google it if you havent. im posting more pics soon
February 27, 2014
id go to his consult anyways. you may like him more and he may be cheaper. its free consult with him.
February 27, 2014
silicone right? what profile? mine are high
February 27, 2014
wow spell check! sorry i type to fast
User Avatar
February 27, 2014
Yeah true! The sizes kinda drooped so I have no clear idea of what 450 will look like, I bet with high profile though they will look good. Shoot I'm thinking 475 is better than, I'll have to ask.

I tried making rice sizes and they [RS bleep] up looking like tubes haha! My baby needed up playing with them! I don't have any nylons so I'll have to go get some or use baggies haha
February 27, 2014
well look at my before picture i really had none and from your pics looks like you have alot more then i did. so with a 475 i think youll be bigger then a D cup
February 27, 2014
