I had wanted to get a breast augmentation done for a while, but I had never looked into it seriously until I started talking about it with a friend of mine. The biggest thing I was nervous about was that they would be too big or look too "fake", so I really wanted to find a doctor I could trust before going through with the procedure. I ended up get 425 cc, under the muscle, silicone implants after reading a bunch of other reviews of people that were around my frame and starting size. I am 5'4", slim build weighing 118 lbs. I started with a 34A and am now a 34C or 32D depending on the bra. I was extremely happy with my results, although it hurt like hell! I had the surgery on a Monday and my boyfriend took Monday and Tuesday off to help me out. He had to do EVERYTHING for me, including pull up my pants after I used the restroom because I couldn't bend over to get them up. I wasn't able to get up from a laying position and pretty much took pain meds throughout the first 3 days. I went back to work on Thursday, but only because I couldn't stand being in the house any longer. I was not really able to open the car door even because my chest hurt so badly. I didn't realize how much it would affect me. However, after about a week or week and a half I felt like I could function all by myself with everything including driving, bending, lifting lightweight objects, etc. They were very swollen for a bit and I only wore bandages the first two days and then progressed to a sports bra (a DD, because they were huge). After about two weeks they really started to look better and actually made me feel comfortable about how they would turn out. I have NO complaints, although my scars are a little darker than I would like (I got them under the boob). However, I am getting laser treatments to lighten them up a bit. Everyone who has met me since I got them done doesn't realize I have fake boobs and everyone who knew me before has told me MANY times over that they love how they turned out. I wouldn't change a thing!
