I am 3 days po. I am 110lbs and 5' 5". I have never been more than a AA, except when I was breastfeeding. I honestly wanted to write before hand but everything happened so quickly. Back in HS I used to think they would get bigger. I would get teased all the time and actually had a training bra taped to my locker! However, this has nothing to do with other people, all about me and what I wanted. I guess my small size worked for me through HS. I was an all state athlete and never had to worry about bras like some of the other girls. I have been frustrated my adult life not being able to wear certain clothes and forget a bathing suit.
I got a 234cc silicone under the muscle in my left and a 264cc under my right. I was vey asymmetrical. I also needed a lift on the left side. I guess that's what happens after you breastfeed two children and end up with an absence in one!
I would do it again in a second. I was in a lot of pain days 1 and 2 post-op but feel much better today. Wasn't a fan of taking the narcotic pain meds and felt much better switching to Tylenol and icing more often. Will post pics soon. I do have to thank everyone who has posts on here. I think I have read everyone coming up to my surgery date. It has been very helpful!

When I originally went to see my surgeon I knew I didn't want to be that "big". I wanted natural or what that meant for my body type. I have a small frame and apparently no breast tissue on my right breast :(. It was really important to me that this surgeon was clear what he could do and the out come to be expected. If I was looking for a c or d cup he wasn't the surgeon for me. I hava a lot of bruising and swelling today. I look at some of the other pics post op three days and think how on earth do you look like that! Good for you guys. I just bought some arnica gel which I wish I would have had day one but kinda of forgot about.
One more day of rest for mr then back to work! Yikes!

Welcome to RealSelf. It looks like you were able to figure out how to post photos. I just attempted to rotate them for you, but we are having issues with this feature and hope to have it resolved soon. You look like you're gonna have fabulous results! Please keep us in the loop as you continue to heal.

Thanks for the photo switch. I'll take them horizontal for now. Felling so wonderful. They are exactly how I expected. 5 days post-op and feel great. I want to say how much I appreciated this site. I never posted before, just read all the reviews, stories and comments and it helped me immensely. Thank you :)

One more favor, now my other picture is upside down? I really am computer literate but this has me thrown for a loop. -Thank you

Our photo rotation is broken and is something we're working on. Thanks for your patience!

Congrats!!! Had my lift with implants April 3rd. Hope you are rested and feeling good. Maybe I missed it but when did you get your implants?
June 12, 2012
I just got them June 7th. 5 days post op now. How long did you wake up feeling like you were going to explode. I'm great during the day, but my goodness it actually wakes me up. I'll ice down and that seems to work?

Icing really helped and meds! I was really sore for about 2 weeks, then the nipple sensitivity came, wow that's uncomfortable too. But it is nothing that you can't handle. You kind if have to just push your way through the pain. I did not have an easy recovery like some. I just kept telling myself, and still am, that ANYTHING is better than what I had and this pain is worth it. I couldn't stop looking at them all the time. It was very funny! I'm 10 weeks out and I'm still feeling aches and pains just not as bad as before. I can't lift very heavy at the gym and sleeping on my side sometimes still hurts. But like I said it's well worth it.

Hi FitLuv...when did you start to workout again. I know I can't do anything now which is fine. I used to run and lift and would like to be able to at some point. I was only lifting 12.5 free weights which worked well for me. What do you do and how did you handle it in the beginning?
June 14, 2012
This is so funny goodwines I just posted this in my review! I basically just went back to lifting this week! It's been a very slow process. I'm still going light on upper body, about half the weight I use to do. I'm almost at normal lower body weight. I just can't do heavy squats with a bar. It engages my chest muscles too much. The #1 rule to follow is if it hurts STOP. You don't want to risk everything you've invested. Also ask your PS when its ok to start lifting weights. Every dr. is different. Hope this helps, don't hesitate to ask me anything!

Happy for you !!!!! Hope your doing good .

good winesJune 12, 2012
Day 4 post-op: Go Redsox! Went to Fenway today. Feeling fabulous. Wore a tank top with a zippered sweater over it. Brought two gallon size bags with me. Iced on the way up, then around the 3rd inning got a bit more ice from the stand. Couldn't tell I was icing the girls while watching the game but honestly, I couldn't care if you could. They are all mine now! As long as I alternate religiously between ibuprofen and acetaminophen I have no pain at all. The percoset was making me all looping. Not a fan of narcotics. I guess it helped the first two days, but not needed at all after that.
Sleeping: I've been sleeping comfortably in my own bed being propped up by about 15 pillows, 3 of which are body pillows. I don't move, they keep me elevated and have a good rest. I can't take ambient so tried diazepam which worked great.
Day 5 post-op: Yesterday I felt wonderful. No pain, lots of energy. 1st post-op appointment, everything looks good, adjusted the strap to be a bit tighter so everything falls into place nicely.
Questions for the experienced ones: For how long post-op did you wake up feeling like your chest was going to explode! I've been icing in the morning with is working, but curious how long this will go on for?
Day 6 post-op: 1st day back to work for me with a full schedule of clients. Ouch. Last week my schedule was spotty which I was excited about, but now it's back to back clients and not exactly sure how I am going to handle that! Ahh, but atlas I can duck into my office every now and then and see the wonder they (my girls, I can call them that now because I actually have some) have become. Happy Tuesday.

For my explod would come and go . When I was 2 wks it was really bad I was told it was my hormones and it was . Night is when I felt the worse I feld like they were being strangled it was weird it's all gone now . I'm 4 1/2 wks and I feel great . I feel like I'm ready for everything . I know it sounds like a long time but it has gone by fast . You are feeling what I felt at that stage . It will get better every day with a few days that feel like when will I get better . The sitting around doing nothing gets old . So happy for you !!!
June 12, 2012
I forgot to tell you that you look great congrats !!!!!!!!
June 13, 2012
Thank you! Although the pain won't go away yet I love they way they look and have to take a gander ever now and then :)

Remove your pic and you can turn it around on your computer and reload it on realself

You look amazing already. I can't wait to be on the other side. I am hoping for July. What profile implant did you get. I am 5'5" 115lbs..getting moderate silicone. Deciding between 275cc or 300cc. Seeing you makes me only want 275cc. I want to look natural aswell. But it depends what profile implant you got :) Thanks so much for sharing your story !!! Looking forward to seeing your progression photos.
June 12, 2012
I got medium/moderate smooth silicone implants. The high profile were way too much for me. My frame is to small.
June 12, 2012
when you say moderate..you mean the lowest profile you can get right? not moderate plus?? I want moderate, I don't see many pics of people with them..there is moderate, moderate plus, high profile...sorry for all the questions...I am wondering how you feel about the size..do you wish you went bigger or smaller or are they perfect? How do you feel they look in clothes?
June 12, 2012
Than you ! I got high profile round saline 425/435 I'm a 34 DDD or 36 DD . Make sure tou get about 25 cc more then you like because they say you loose that under the muscle . Mine are under the muscle .I do need to loose some weight . Last year I weighed 125 so I have put it on in a year I used to run 6 to 8 miles a day and I quit running . I need to start again it will take time to get to the miles again . I was a 34Sm C then and I was a 34 /c when I had my BA . So I proubly won't loose much .
