So happy with my results!

WORTH IT$9,000
I couldn't have had a better outcome and recovery so far. Minimal pain & just a little sore, even after going under the muscle. My doctor seemed surprised as well and said I was tough, lol. I do have some bruising and a little more swelling on the side that had the rupture, as expected. Here's some pics from yesterday. (Both of the bras I'm wearing have no underwire and their from VS)

You look fantastic! I am getting moderate plus in 3 days! EEEEK! Still obsessing over sizing. What size were you pre-implants?
Thank you!!! My old ones were 400cc saline, over the muscle. My surgeon went with 492cc silicone this time, under the muscle. & I'm so happy with the moderate plus profile. Love the side boob lol!
Do you feel a significant difference in feel with saline vs silicone ?

Day after

I feel really good! Been staying on top of my meds (painkiller, muscle relaxer, anti-nausea, & abx). Because I already had the pockets formed from my last surgery, the only thing he had to do this time around was separate the muscle to place the implant underneath. The only way I can describe the soreness is if you've ever overdone a really intense pectoral workout and your muscles are extremely sore after lol.

Day of treatment

Surgery day!

My surgery was this morning & everything went perfect! Woke up feeling like a million bucks (with the help of some painkillers), and no nausea. My doctor put in 492cc, smooth round, moderate profile, under the muscle. Once I woke up he immediately told me and my mom that I'm going to be very happy with the results so I can't wait to see my new girls at my post-op on Friday when he takes off my bandage! I attached a few more "before" pics with different angles, and me currently in the car on our way home.
