Stats 5'10", 120 lbs, small frame, no kids, 32 negative A, 375 high profile silicone unders.

Background: I've been thinking about surgery on and off for 8 years. I've never been very self-conscious about small breasts as I have always had supportive boyfriends, husband and family. I figured I would get them done after having kids, but I have PCOS and after 2 years trying to have kids without any success, so decided I would have "twins" instead.

Day 1: had my surgery today and will have to admit it was way more painful waking up than I expected. It hurt to talk and breathe. Since I've been home and taken the muscle relaxers and pain killers, I feel much better. Hopefully I will be able to sleep tonight and will wake up feeling good. More to come.

Day 4. I still feel like someone shoved rocks...

Day 4. I still feel like someone shoved rocks under my chest. I think everyone is so excited to finally have boobs, that they forget to tell you that it is still surgery and it still hurts. I actually stopped taking the pain killers yesterday and feel much better- the pain killers made me super nauseous and gave me a massive headache. I slept in my bed for the first time last night and slept the whole night which felt great. Had my first postoperative appointment- swelling but no bruises. Size looks great on my frame- not too big and not too small... Looking forward to healing and no more pain!

Thank you so much for sharing with us. This surgery is a big deal, but I'm glad you're doing better without the pain meds. That size sounds great for you. Please keep us posted on your healing!

Day 8: Feeling sooo much better. Most of the pain is gone with an occasional tightening of my right side which I just massage out. Sleeping has been rough for the last couple of days, I think mostly to being cooped up andnot exercising (I'm fine with not exercising for a little while if it means a faster recovery). I was seriously considering why I chose to get implants the first couple of days after surgery because the pain and tighness felt like it would never go away. For any of you second guessing, just be patient, it gets so much better. :)
